    Healing Timeline: Expectation vs. Reality | Ep 415
    Jun 23 2026
    After working with hundreds of 1:1 clients (and thousands across all of TFN's offerings), Erin has noticed some VERY predictable patterns in the healing process. And spoiler alert: healing rarely looks the way people think it's going to!What happens during "the dip" and why do so many people feel like quitting around months 3 and 4? Erin gets into the expectation vs. reality gap that keeps people stuck on the hamster wheel of healing, the nervous system patterns that surface when things start changing, and the difference between feeling “good enough” and feeling like a completely different human. If you're in a season where you're questioning your progress, doubting your body, or wondering if anything is ever going to work for you, this might be the episode you need most.In this episode:The dopamine hits that come from finally getting answers, labs, and a planWhy Erin doesn't want you to depend on practitioners, protocols, or wellness influencers foreverThe surprising reason clients start pushing their boundaries around months 7 and 8Why feeling amazing, overdoing it, and crashing can actually be a sign that your world is expanding (!)The importance of embodiment and why it’s a part of Erin’s C.A.R.E methodResources mentioned:Apply to work with us 1:1 here.Experiencing symptoms?

  • PCOS Got a Glow Up (And What PMOS Means for Women’s Health) | Ep 414

    PCOS Got a Glow Up (And What PMOS Means for Women’s Health) | Ep 414
    Jun 16 2026

    PCOS just got a glow up. This wildly misunderstood condition affects 1 in 8 women and 170 million women worldwide, and has officially been renamed PMOS: Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. In this episode, Erin is joined by TFN lead practitioner Rachel Heintz, MS, RDN, IFMCP, FHP-C, to talk about why this name change matters.

    Rachel breaks down why the old PCOS label created so much confusion, and how PMOS can impact metabolism, blood sugar, cardiovascular health, skin, fertility, mental health, and more.

    This is a whole-human conversation about a whole-body condition, because women are more than “just hormones walking around,” and this condition was never just about the ovaries.

    In this episode:
    1. Why PCOS was renamed PMOS, and how the new name reflects what’s actually happening in the body
    2. The four PMOS archetypes Rachel sees most often: insulin-resistant, inflammatory, adrenal, and post-pill
    3. How perfume, dryer sheets, and what’s under your kitchen sink can all matter for endocrine health
    4. The fertility case study that had surprisingly little to do with the ovaries themselves
