Hormones & Your Brain Chemistry | Ep 242

In this episode, we're discussing how the brain directly affects your hormones, the distinction between consuming and integrating information, and ways to train your brain to be more resilient to life's stressors.

Welcome to the Funk'tional Nutrition Podcast. I'm your host, Erin Holt. I've got a bone to pick with diet culture and the conventional healthcare model that are both systematically failing so many of us. Creating a new model is my life's work, and this is what this show's all about.
