What if the reason you're struggling to reach your health goals isn't a lack of discipline, but a nervous system that has been stuck in survival mode for too long? In this episode, Erin explains how chronic stress, emotional triggers and nervous system regulation are HUGE components that influence your health journey and why learning to feel safe matters more than constantly pushing yourself to do more. When your body is overwhelmed, even healthy habits and meaningful changes can feel harder to sustain. Erin breaks down the difference between the sympathetic nervous system (fight, flight, freeze and fawn) and the parasympathetic nervous system (rest, digest and repair) and explains why the goal isn't to eliminate stress, but to learn how to recover from it more effectively. In this episode, you'll learn: • Signs your nervous system may be stuck in survival mode. • How chronic stress and emotional triggers can affect your everyday habits. • Why nervous system work is about creating safety, not fixing yourself. • Simple tools to help you feel more grounded, including breathwork and sensory awareness. • Why capability and capacity are not the same thing• Why high-achieving women need boundaries and rest • How nervous system regulation fits into a holistic health journey If you're constantly overwhelmed, struggling to slow down, or feeling like you must manage everything yourself, this conversation is an invitation to approach your health with more awareness and compassion.

What if building healthier relationships starts with understanding your own body? In this episode of Empowered in Health, Erin sits down with Becky Aste to explore somatic healing and how the connection between the brain and body can influence the way we navigate relationships, emotional triggers, and everyday stress. We often turn to conversations, books and therapy to better understand ourselves. But what happens when we focus only on our thoughts and overlook what our bodies are communicating? Becky explains how somatic work helps us reconnect with physical sensations, recognize our body's signals and develop practical tools to navigate challenging emotions. From understanding nervous system responses to exploring the connection between emotional awareness and communication, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on personal growth and relationship health. In this episode, you'll discover: • What somatic healing is and how it differs from approaches focused primarily on thoughts and talking. • How the brain and body communicate and why paying attention to physical sensations matters. • Why symptoms can be signals worth exploring rather than experiences to automatically dismiss. • Simple practices to reconnect with your body, including grounding techniques, box breathing, and mindful movement. • How emotional triggers and nervous system responses can influence communication and relationship patterns.

Here's the reality - if you're experiencing fatigue, anxiety, weight gain, brain fog, poor sleep, or low libido in this season of your health journey - there's so much more to understand beyond hormone fluctuations! In this episode, Erin explains why midlife health is about more than hormones and why looking at the whole body may help you better understand what you're experiencing during perimenopause and beyond. As a functional health coach who takes a personalized, holistic approach, Erin shares her own experience of struggling with debilitating anxiety, persistent fatigue and feeling unlike herself even after pursuing hormone support (HRT). In this episode, you'll discover: • Common perimenopause and midlife symptoms, including fatigue, belly fat, mood changes, and disrupted sleep. • Why thyroid health, cortisol, blood sugar, gut health and metabolic health matter. • How stress, nutrition, exercise and recovery can influence your overall well-being. • Why your health history and individual needs matter when creating a wellness plan. • What to consider BEFORE exploring hormone replacement therapy (HRT). • Why personalized health strategies can be more useful than assuming the same solution works for every woman. The key takeaway? Hormones matter, but they're only one part of a much bigger picture. Understanding your body's interconnected systems can help you ask better questions and make more informed decisions about what will actually serve you best!

In this episode of Empowered in Health, Lesley Logan joins Erin to discuss the transformative power of the right kind of Pilates practice. From women's health to longevity and the challenge of prioritizing yourself when life is already full - together - we talk about all things inside out health and why incorporating this functional movement can make a massive difference in many areas of your life.

What if the thing keeping you stuck isn’t a lack of information, time or readiness - but something you’re actively avoiding and choosing NOT to do? Because the hard reality is, it's not only the cost of action. It's also the cost of inaction!In this episode, Erin unpacks why waiting until you feel ready, gathering more information and making excuses can keep you from the health, business, relationships and personal growth you want (and deserve!!) One of the biggest lessons I share on my journey has been learning about whole health and "weak links."And how when you commit to doing the hardest thing first and work most on your "weak links" - that's when the snowball of growth and change compounds more and more over time. For me - nutrition has ALWAYS been my “weak link,” something I have avoided getting better at because planning, prepping, tracking and creating structure felt too difficult, too time consuming, annoying and beyond.But once I committed to the thing I really didn't want to do, I found out new things about myself and the growth I've craved more than ever before. So today's conversation goes deeper into asking:What are you really avoiding? And what's the cost of INACTION? Sometimes “I don't have time,” “I need more information,” or “I need to do more research” isn't the real obstacle. There may be a deeper fear underneath fear of failure, change, discomfort or making the wrong decision that needs to be unpacked too. You'll learn three practical ways to move forward: • Stop waiting to feel ready! • Identify the obstacle underneath the obstacle. • Turn what you're avoiding into a real commitment. The episode also explores the cost of action versus the cost of inaction, and why following through on the commitments you make can help build self-trust. If you've been overthinking a decision, procrastinating on something important, or waiting for the “right time” to make a change, this episode is an invitation to ask yourself: What am I avoiding and what would happen if I finally committed to it?

When it comes to women's health, what would happen if we really took a step back and started to understand the ways we've been misinformed and misled? In this episode of Empowered in Health, Matt Cusano and Erin Trier explore why women’s health requires looking FAR beyond individual symptoms and understanding the body as an interconnected system. Matt shares more of his perspective around hormone health, perimenopause, metabolic health, gut health, immune health, functional health and the importance of understanding potential root causes rather than focusing only on symptom management. Together, we explore why so many women can feel like they’re doing everything right while still feeling unwell, why “normal” test results may not always answer the questions you have and how a more comprehensive approach can help connect different pieces of the health picture. In this conversation, you’ll hear about: • Why women’s health has often been approached through isolated symptoms • Why perimenopause involves more than hormone fluctuations alone • How stress, lifestyle, metabolism, gut health, and immune health can be interconnected • The difference between conventional medical care and functional health approachesand so much more! Matt also shares how his work evolved from bodybuilding and performance optimization into health, hormone therapy, gut health, and working with complex health cases. He is involved with RYZE Health and Wellness, where he continues to work in the functional health space. If you’ve been told that everything is “normal” but you still don’t feel like yourself, this conversation offers a different way to think about the bigger picture of women’s health.

What can gut testing reveal about a child's health? In this episode, Erin shares what she discovered after using a GI Map to better understand her 12-year-old son's gut and immune health. After years of navigating complex health challenges, Erin wanted more information about what was happening beneath the symptoms, not simply another way to manage them. She walks through what the GI Map showed, including patterns involving gut bacteria, overgrowth, immune markers, inflammation, gluten activity and H. Pylori. One of the biggest takeaways is the importance of looking at gut resilience before immediately trying to address overgrowth or other findings. Erin explains why she believes the overall ecosystem matters and why the sequence of supporting the gut is the most important thing when interpreting testing. She also discusses: • Why she decided to do a GI Map for her son • What GI Map testing looks at • Gut bacteria, pathogens, parasites, and overgrowth • Secretory IgA and gut immune resilience • Gluten activity and inflammation • Calprotectin and intestinal inflammation • H. pylori and digestive health • Why testing is only useful if you're prepared to act on the information • The connection Erin sees between the gut, immune system, brain, skin, behavior, and overall health • Why she believes targeted data can help families make more personalized health decisions Erin also shares the very real challenge of making nutritional and lifestyle changes as a family and why gathering information is only the beginning. If you're a parent trying to better understand your child's health, gut symptoms, skin issues, food reactions, or overall wellness, this episode offers a firsthand look at one family's experience with targeted gut testing.

What if your gut healing protocol isn’t failing, but you’re just addressing the wrong things in the wrong order? In this episode of Empowered in Health, Erin sits down with Liz Roman, a functional health practitioner and wellness educator known as the "thepoopqueen" - to unpack the deeper connections between gut health, the immune system, the liver, hormones and metabolic health. Liz shares her own decades-long health journey, including childhood rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s, chronic constipation, inflammation, weight struggles, and the functional medicine discoveries that changed how she approaches healing. Together, Erin and Liz explore why constantly adding supplements, restrictive diets, and eradication protocols may not address the bigger picture and why the body needs the right foundations and sequence for healing. You’ll learn about: • The gut-immune connection and why immune regulation matters • Why “order of operations” can be critical in gut healing • The relationship between gut health, the liver, bile, and hormones • SIBO, leaky gut, food intolerance, and microbiome diversity • Why long-term food restriction may not be the goal • The importance of supporting digestion, stomach acid, elimination, and the gut lining • Why rebuilding and repopulating the microbiome matters after eradication • How lifestyle, stress, sleep, nutrition, and environment can influence healing • Why resilience and consistency matter more than chasing extreme protocols The conversation ultimately comes back to a powerful message: healing is a process and creating the right environment for your body matters. If you're navigating gut health issues, chronic symptoms, restrictive diets, or simply trying to understand what your body needs, this episode will give you a different framework for looking at the bigger picture.

What happens when you love your spouse and have a full life, but still feel disconnected Intimacy can become surprisingly difficult when you're balancing kids, work, parenting, health, the mental load and everyday responsibilities. In this episode, Erin gets deeply honest about marriage, emotional connection, sex and what it takes to reconnect during a busy season of life. She shares her personal experience of navigating intimacy struggles with her husband, Dave, not because their marriage was broken or they didn't love each other, but because life had become so incredibly overwhelming, emotionally. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why you can't always expect connection and intimacy to happen spontaneously • Why emotional connection can be an important part of physical intimacy • How mental and emotional overload can affect marriage and intimacy • Why communication matters instead of expecting your partner to read your mind • How body changes and feeling uncomfortable in your own skin can affect your sex life • Simple ways to intentionally reconnect with your spouse • Why small connection points walks, texts, affection, laughter and shared time can matter • When outside support or counseling may be worth considering • Why a difficult season doesn't have to define your marriage Most importantly, this conversation is a reminder that you don't have to wait for life to become less chaotic before choosing your relationship. Sometimes you must intentionally make space for connection, communicate honestly, give each other grace and choose one another again. If you've ever felt disconnected from your spouse despite having a loving marriage, this conversation is a reminder that a hard season doesn't define your relationship and that connection takes intention.

What if the reason you’re stuck isn’t about motivation, but instead - it's about the need to take more radical ownership of your situation? In this episode of Empowered in Health, Erin sits down with business mentor and health coach Ethan Linn to unpack the mindset shifts that can change how you approach your health, business, parenting, and everyday life. Ethan shares his journey from in-person health coaching to building a six-figure online business and mentoring other entrepreneurs all while diving into explain why extreme ownership, consistency, data and the willingness to pivot have been so important along the way. One of the biggest takeaways is his “floor and ceiling” framework: instead of expecting yourself to perform perfectly every day, define what you can realistically accomplish on your worst day and use that as your minimum effective dose. We also talk about: • Why taking radical ownership can feel uncomfortable • How a victim mindset can keep you stuck • The mindset shift from scarcity to possibility • Why tracking data matters in both health and business • How to create sustainable habits instead of chasing perfection • The difference between your “floor” and “ceiling” • Time blocking and working to be fully present • Why parents need to prioritize their own health • The importance of giving yourself time to reach your goals • Why “everything in your life is a dichotomy to be managed, not a problem to be solved” • How remaining a student can create more growth and resilience If you're trying to improve your health, grow a business, become a more present parent or need to stop beating yourself up when things don't go according to plan - this conversation offers practical frameworks you can start using immediately.

If you’re working out consistently but you're still not seeing the results you want - the problem may not be your workout... In this episode, I break down the “other 23 hours” of the day. Because the time outside your workout plays a major role in your health, recovery, body composition, energy and overall wellness! For many women, especially as you move through midlife, the old approach of simply working harder and exercising more no longer works - at all! That's why it's so important to remember that the workout is only one piece of the bigger picture. Today, we explore how everyday movement, nutrition, sleep, stress, recovery, hydration, relationships and daily habits all work together as an interconnected health ecosystem - just like the body itself. One transformative concept you can use when evaluating your health is the 23-Hour Audit - where you ask yourself: How much am I moving outside my workout? How much am I sitting? Am I eating enough protein and fiber? Am I adequately hydrated? Am I getting enough sleep and recovery? How am I managing stress? Do I have boundaries? Am I making time for relationships, joy, and connection? Your health isn't only built in 60 minutes at the gym or during a workout at home. It's built by what you repeatedly do throughout the entire day. If this episode resonated with you, please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Are you exhausted from constantly taking care of everyone else while putting your own needs on the back burner? In this powerful episode of Empowered in Health, Erin sits down with Dr. Lisa Muehlenbein. Dr. Lisa is a nationally recognized expert on physician burnout, helping both medical families and healthcare organizations foster resilience, connection, and aculture of well-being through her MedLife Matrix™ methodology. In our conversation, we talk about midlife burnout, the invisible load women carry, the importance of self-care, marriage, relationships and what really happens when your own needs are continually pushed aside! Lisa also shares her deeply personal journey of realizing that she was burned out - even when she didn't recognize it herself. Her experience led her to study burnout and eventually research how professional burnout can affect spouses, families, and relationships - especially for physician families. Lisa teaches us incredible lessons that apply to so many women who feel like they are carrying the emotional weight of their families. If you've ever thought: • "I'll take care of myself when things calm down." • "Everyone else needs me more than I need me." • "I don't have the right to complain." • "Life will be better when the kids are older." • "I'll have time for myself someday." This conversation is for you. Lisa introduces the idea of "Someday Syndrome" - the belief that life will finally get better after the next milestone, only to discover that "someday" keeps moving further away. You'll also hear why the invisible load can create loneliness, resentment, emotional exhaustion and disconnection in relationships. And why communication is essential for reconnecting with your partner! If you're a woman navigating midlife, motherhood, marriage, burnout, or the overwhelming responsibility of caring for everyone else, this episode is a reminder that your needs matter too. You don't have to wait for someday to start taking care of yourself.

In midlife, many women find themselves dealing with bloating, inflammation, fatigue, weight gain, food reactions, skin flare-ups and a growing list of foods they feel they can no longer eat. But what if these symptoms aren't just "food sensitivities"? But rather, signals of something deeper? In this episode, we dive into the gut-immune connection and why understanding the relationship between your gut, immune system, hormones, stress, sleep, nutrition and environment can completely change the way you approach your health. Personally, I reached a point in my late 30s where my body seemed to start reacting to almost everything. From severe bloating, skin reactions, inflammation, food sensitivities and significant weight gain, I learned FAST that simply eliminating foods wasn't addressing what was happening underneath the hood - at all. The bigger question for me became: "WHY is the body reacting this way?" This episode explores the idea of looking at the body as an interconnected ecosystem and addressing the underlying “terrain.” You'll learn why gut health and immune function are so closely connected, what can contribute to gut dysfunction and why stress, blood sugar, sleep, lifestyle, environmental exposure, HISTORY and midlife hormonal changes can all be part of the bigger picture. Most importantly, this episode offers a different perspective for women who feel like their bodies have suddenly become unpredictable. Remember - the goal isn't to simply manage symptoms. It's to understand the “why,” support the body's ecosystem and build greater resilience from the inside out. If you've been cutting out more and more foods and dealing with all kinds of random "allergies" or environmental triggers, but still don't understand why your body is reacting, this conversation is for you!
