We are officially kicking off the endometriosis series. In this first episode, Erin and Rachel Heintz, lead practitioner at The Funk’tional Nutritionist, are untangling one of the most misunderstood, underdiagnosed, and wildly dismissed conditions in women’s health.
Painful periods might be common, but that does not mean they should be normalized, trivialized, or ignored.
Erin and Rachel explain what endometriosis is, what conditions commonly overlap with it, why it is considered a chronic inflammatory whole-body condition, and how it can show up far beyond the uterus. Spoiler: we’re going inflammation hunting, and no, you do not have to just suck it up and suffer your way through being a woman!

FNA graduate Alyssa Chavez had been trying to conceive for eight years. She had stage four endometriosis, debilitating periods, two rounds of IVF, a miscarriage, low AMH, and doctors telling her IVF was basically her only shot. But somewhere inside her, there was still this knowing: there has to be more than this.
In this episode, Erin sits down with Alyssa, to talk about the functional approach that helped her finally move the needle in her own body. Alyssa shares how learning to understand her gut, inflammation, immune system, environment, hormones, and bio-individual needs helped her go from painful periods and infertility to conceiving her baby girl naturally the SAME month she graduated from FNA!
Erin and Alyssa also talk about the bigger ripple effects of addressing your health, and how FNA helped her build a business on her own terms.

It’s no secret that stepping out of your typical day-to-day routine can be so expansive and help you realize how much possibility exists. It’s one thing to have the breakthrough, but it’s another thing entirely to bring that expanded identity back into your actual life, schedule, relationships, and nervous system.
In this episode, Erin talks about “default mode” and how the story you tell yourself about yourself can become the identity you keep living from.
This is a conversation about identity, healing, nervous system safety, parts integration, and the hardwired stories we keep reenacting without realizing it. Erin also shares a snippet from Manifest Your Health on rewriting your inner narrative, because action is what crystallizes change.

What labs should you actually be getting? Everyone and their mom is aware of the fact that we need a liiittle more data on our bodies, and we have the availability to get it. In this episode, Erin gives you a complete deep dive through the labs she thinks EVERY woman should ask for, as well as the markers that often get skipped.
Erin also covers cardiovascular and menopause risks, fasting glucose, and the functional labs her team uses most often in practice, including the GI-MAP stool test, DUTCH hormone testing, Wheat Zoomer, and toxin testing, plus when each one might make sense.
If you’re in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or anywhere near perimenopause, this is your reminder to get the data, understand the data, and use it to take action.

Perimenopause is having a moment. Despite what you see on social media, not every symptom you experience in your late 30s or early 40s is automatically due to perimenopause.
Erin gets into the four areas she’s been personally focused on for the past few years: mindset, muscles and metabolic health, labs, and inner work. She also talks about why cardiovascular health needs to become a much bigger part of the peri conversation and why getting your thyroid checked is not a one-and-done situation.
Consider this your no fear mongering take on perimenopause with plenty of tough love, a little sacred rage, and a reminder that your body is not a liability to be managed.

This was supposed to be a 15-20 minute episode. Turns out Erin has a LOT to say about it.
Today, Erin is giving you a sneaky peek behind the numbers at The Funk’tional Nutritionist, and what those numbers reveal about building a business with real staying power.
She breaks down what it means to build trust as an actual business asset, especially in a market where people are tired of clickbait, overhyped promises, weird DM pitches, and wellness content that feels like nobody brought receipts.
She also explores why consistency is such an unsung hero, why quick wins are not the same as staying power, and why watered-down content is watered-down medicine. Because more eyeballs do not automatically mean more clients, and being trustworthy might matter more than being everywhere.

This one is for the practitioners and business owners who are questioning their next step or wondering why growth feels so darn overwhelming.
In this episode, Erin is giving you a behind the scenes peek into what business mentorship looks like inside of The Funk’tional Nutrition Academy. Inside this live coaching call, Erin answers real practitioner questions around pricing, visibility, podcast growth, building a clear method, and figuring out whether entrepreneurship is actually the move.
Erin also gets into the pressure to be further along, the sneaky comparison spiral, the self-trust required to charge real money, and why trying to do 17 things at once is usually a one-way ticket to overwhelm.

Mindset work, subconscious healing, and brain rewiring are everywhere right now, and Erin is here for it.
In this replay episode, Erin breaks down why healing is a both/and situation. Your mind, beliefs, nervous system, emotions, and energetic patterns matter big time, but so do labs, inflammation, hormones, gut health, and what’s happening on a physiological level.
Erin shares real client examples, while talking about the fear loops, symptom stories, identity patterns, and emotional roots that can keep chronic symptoms stuck on repeat, and why sometimes the next layer of healing is not another protocol, but a completely new way of relating to your body.
P.S. For less than $2 a day, you can completely rewire your body and health in the Manifest Your Health app.

If acid reflux keeps showing up, the answer isn’t always “too much acid” and it’s not always as simple as popping antacids either.
In this replay episode, Erin breaks down what might actually be driving reflux, from the way digestion moves through the body to the little valve between your stomach and esophagus that can let acid sneak back up where it does not belong.
She also gets into why stress, overeating, pregnancy, gut imbalances, bile, sleeping position, and even old emotional patterns can all be part of the picture.
If you’ve been avoiding spaghetti sauce, waking up with burning in your chest, or wondering whether H. pylori is the reason for EVERYTHING, this episode will help you zoom out and look at the bigger digestive picture.

Erin is soaking up the Maine sun for a couple of weeks, so today we’re pulling a biggie out of the vault: an episode all about inflammation hunting.
Yes, diet and lifestyle matter big time. But sometimes someone is doing “all the right things,” eating well, moving their body, taking care of themselves… and the math still isn’t mathing.
Erin and TFN lead practitioner Rachel Heintz, MS, RDN, IFMCP, FHP-C, are breaking down what inflammation actually is, what symptoms and labs can raise red flags, and how they use deeper testing to figure out what’s keeping the immune system irritated and overwhelmed.
They also get into gut health, blood sugar, gluten sensitivity, low beneficial bacteria, secretory IgA, calprotectin, cortisol, melatonin, mold, heavy metals, and why sometimes the answer is not a protocol.
P.S. Applications are officially open for the Fall 2026 cohort of The Funk’tional Nutrition Academy, Erin’s 14-month practitioner training and mentorship. Apply now!
