Here at TFN, we practice the Intuitive Functional Medicine™ model, meaning we utilize evidence-based practices… AND we also believe that YOU get to be the evidence. Because REAL power comes when we can use research, science and external data points, and allow that to coalesce with the sacred wisdom of our bodies. But what does that look like? And how do we get there? That’s what today’s episode is all about. Erin gets into the deep inner work that is an often overlooked, but very necessary, part of the healing process.
