Episode 259: Low FODMAP Diet Considerations | Legacy Series
A low FODMAP diet has become the sweetheart of diets in treating SIBO within the functional and conventional medicine world. However, as with any protocol implementation, one must be sure to ask, “what’s the end game here?”
In this episode, Erin unpacks the low FODMAP diet, what it is, how it helps to reduce symptoms of SIBO & IBS and why she very rarely implements it with her clients. Erin clears the confusion and helps lay out how to determine if it’s right for you, as well as potential drawbacks to the diet. This episode is great for anyone who is suffering from SIBO symptoms, IBS, or are otherwise curious about transitioning onto or off of a low FODMAP diet.
Episode 257: Leaky Gut, Microbiome, & Digestion | Legacy Series
Terms like “leaky gut” and “microbiome” are buzzwords in health these days–so much so that practitioners sometimes jump to prescribing a leaky gut protocol without understanding what’s going on in the whole body.
This episode gives an overview of gut health from top to tail and explains where things can go wrong. There is a WEALTH of information in this discussion–Erin talks about autoimmunity, hormones, and the impact of the modern environment on our gut health. Stay tuned until the end for actionable tips on how to improve your gut health and microbiome diversity!

This episode responds to listener questions Erin received after returning from a week-long trip. After listening to this episode, you will come away with healthy snack ideas for the plane, the best supplements to bring while traveling and why, how to eat and drink on vacation without derailing your immune system, post-travel best practices, and more.
Episode 217: Going Beyond Gluten for Celiac Disease
When navigating healing from food sensitivities and food allergies, the first action step is to remove the trigger. In the case of Celiac disease, that trigger is gluten and gluten-containing grains. However, while removing gluten from the diet is a crucial first step, it doesn’t necessarily heal intestinal permeability, reduce gut inflammation, restore a damaged gut lining, and stop the autoimmune response. Today on the show Lori Fish Bard, MS, CNS, LDN sits down with Erin to explain why this is the case.
A Special 200th Episode: How it Started, How it’s Going & Answering Other Listener Questions

Tune in to reminisce with Erin and hear answers to a smorgasbord of listener questions ranging from career pivots (is it ever too late?

She also covers questions about molecular mimicry with gluten and thyroid, detoxing mycotoxins, what you should know about binders and serves up thought provoking questions to ask yourself when healing feels like a struggle.

Inspired by many listener questions, this episode gets into the nitty gritty between gluten sensitivity and celiac disease. WTF is the difference? Is there one? Listen in as Erin unpacks these questions, plus the best ways to test for it and how to determine if you should go gluten-free.

Episode 125: Thyroid Health, Gluten & Hashimoto’s
I talk a lot about functional lab testing and supplementation, but don’t underestimate the power of food! In this episode I discuss why a food-first approach matters so much not just in overall health, but also in determining stressors behind chronic issues (skin, digestion & gut health, inflammation, autoimmunity). I break down underlying stressors related to hypothyroidism, the link between gluten and Hashimoto’s and how taking a food-first approach with your health can make a big impact on your life.
