What does it mean to move from years of mental health struggles to living symptom-free and then turn that journey into a mission of hope for others?
In this episode of the ANEW Insight Podcast, I sat down with Erin Kerry, an integrative nutrition coach, host of the Sparking Wholeness podcast, and someone who has lived firsthand the power of connecting mind, body, and spirit in the healing process.
Erin’s story begins in the classroom. For over a decade, she taught middle school English, inspired by a teacher who once recognized her silent suffering beneath the mask of overachievement. That early act of compassion planted a seed in Erin: to help others feel seen in their struggles. Eventually, that calling led her beyond the classroom, toward health coaching, podcasting, and advocacy.
From Diagnosis to Healing
By the age of 18, Erin had been diagnosed with PTSD, depression, and bipolar disorder. For years, she lived under the shadow of medication side effects, dissociation, and cycles of depression and hypomania. Yet today, she has lived symptom-free from bipolar disorder and depression for more than 15 years.
How did she get there? Erin describes it not as one single “root cause,” but a layered story of genetics, early illness, trauma, nutrition, and environment. From childhood ear infections treated with round after round of antibiotics, to the traumatic loss of her grandfather, to being placed on birth control pills that depleted vital nutrients, Erin sees her mental health journey as a “brain on fire” cascade of inflammation, nutrient depletion, and unresolved trauma.
But with time, curiosity, and support—including her husband, a trauma therapist—Erin found her way toward healing. She learned how to regulate her nervous system, nourish her body, and embrace integrative approaches that built resilience instead of masking symptoms.
The Role of Nutrition in Mental Health
Erin often repeats a simple but powerful truth: “Food is mood.”
Looking back, she believes her nutrient-deficient childhood diet of refined carbs, sugary cereals, and processed convenience foods played a major role in her brain health struggles. Without omega-3s, leafy greens, or consistent sources of nutrient-dense foods, her brain simply didn’t have the building blocks to stabilize mood.
Now, as a coach and mom, she advocates for making vegetables flavorful, adding healthy fats, and avoiding the blood sugar roller coaster that comes from high-sugar breakfasts. Her reflections highlight what science increasingly shows: the gut and brain are inseparable, and nutrition can either fuel stability or deepen the cycle of mental distress.
Breaking Stigma and Sparking Wholeness
Perhaps the most powerful part of Erin’s journey is how she transformed stigma into service.
For years, she kept her bipolar diagnosis hidden out of fear that other principals, colleagues, and even friends would reduce her to a label. But in 2018, she shared her story publicly. The response was overwhelming. Instead of judgment, she received gratitude, curiosity, and connection.
That moment sparked a new mission: to share stories of hope and healing with others who feel broken, ashamed, or hopeless. Her podcast, Sparking Wholeness, launched in 2019 and grew rapidly during the pandemic, offering an outlet for Erin to interview experts, highlight emerging science, and provide listeners with real tools for living whole.
Her message is one of nuance and compassion. She emphasizes that healing is possible—whether through medication, lifestyle changes, or both—and that no one’s story is the same. Most of all, she wants people to know that a diagnosis is not a life sentence.
Looking Ahead
Today, Erin continues to expand her impact. Beyond podcasting and coaching, she is publishing a book this fall that weaves her story together with everything she has learned about healing. She also continues her training in applied functional medicine, deepening her understanding of how interconnected the body truly is hormones, gut health, trauma, and immune system all working in a delicate web.
Her journey reminds us that healing isn’t about finding the one root cause or the perfect cure. It’s about creating the environment physically, emotionally, spiritually for the body and mind to thrive.
Key Takeaways from My Conversation with Erin Kerry
- Healing from mental illness is layered and complex—rarely about one root cause.
- Nutrition profoundly impacts brain health: “Food is mood.”
- Trauma, inflammation, and gut health play a powerful role in mental well-being.
- Stigma around bipolar disorder and depression can silence people—but sharing stories of hope breaks that cycle.
- Symptom-free living is possible, even after severe diagnoses.
- Podcasts and storytelling create powerful platforms for learning, healing, and community.
Spending time with Erin Kerry left me deeply inspired. Her journey from brokenness to wholeness is not just her story, it’s an invitation for all of us to rethink how we view mental health, trauma, and healing.
Because when we nourish the body, tend to the mind, and embrace connection, we open the door not just to surviving but to sparking wholeness.

Dr. Supatra Tovar: [00:00:00] Hello, and welcome to the ANEW Insight podcast. I am Dr. Supatra Tovar, and I am so lucky to have integrative nutrition coach and Sparking Wholeness podcaster. Erin Kerry with us today. Welcome, Erin. Thank you for joining us.
Erin Kerry: Yeah, thanks for having me. I’m excited.
Dr. Supatra Tovar: Me too. We are pod swapping. I was on Erin’s pod and then she agreed to be on mine, so I just feel super fortunate to be able to pick her brain this time.
So I’m gonna read a little bit about Erin and then we’re gonna get right into our questions. Erin Kerry is a certified integrative nutrition health coach and owner of Sparking Wholeness, a nutrition coaching company. After teaching middle school English for 11 years, she transitioned to focus on her passion for [00:01:00] holistic health and wellness.
Once diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Erin has firsthand experience the importance of connecting mind, body, and soul in her approach to health. Through her work, she empowers individuals to become their own health advocates, addressing topics such as trauma, gut health, genetics, body image, and the challenges of motherhood and parenting.
Erin also hosts the podcast, like I said, Sparking Wholeness, where she discusses various health issues with experts from diverse fields. I was one of them. She’s an amazing host. It’s a great podcast. I really recommend you go check it out after you listen to Erin. Erin, welcome.
Erin Kerry: Yeah. Thanks for, for having me on and I yeah, your episode was so much fun. It was one of those episodes where time just flew and we kept talking. I thought, oh no, we should probably do a part two on this. It was lot of fun, yeah, we’re very like-minded, which I enjoyed.
Dr. Supatra Tovar: Yeah, we are. We have like same [00:02:00] brain for sure. So I wanna know, I wanna know about this personal journey of yours. You know, starting out as a middle school English teacher, then becoming a nutrition coach. Tell me about that journey and what led you to coaching.
Erin Kerry: Yeah. No, it’s interesting because it’s really at the root, it, it’s very similar. I became a middle school teacher really I started out in high school, didn’t last long there. Uh, middle school was more my speed. The kids are all just like silly and goofy and in between, you know, childhood and young adulthood.
But, um, the main reason I wanted to be a teacher was because of my own struggles with my mental health, starting from my middle school years on through high school that lasted through college and. I had an English teacher who saw through the face that I was putting on who saw through, um, my overachieving, overactivity, overcommitting to everything, um, and, and reached out and said, Hey, it seems like you’re really struggling.
And she picked [00:03:00] up on it through my writing, of course, like an English teacher would. And that really stood out to me because I had worked so hard to put on a mask to separate what was going on inwardly and what was going on with the suffering that I was experiencing inside and how I presented myself outside that the fact that she saw through really spoke to me and made me go, wait a minute.
I wanna be that person. Because once I came out of that experience and kind of was on the journey to healing, and it was a very rocky path, it was like, well, I wanna be that person for kids. And so it started out for the same reason that I do what I do now with coaching, because I very soon found out right that especially with teachers in the teaching world, adults are also struggling with their mental health, and adults are struggling with feeling overwhelmed and overcommitting to things and being overscheduled and not really being able to stop and take a breather. Teachers specifically, I know I sometimes lump teachers and nurses in, in the same category because they’re so, um, in it for [00:04:00] people, for the, but they don’t even stop to go to the bathroom.
Right. Um. yeah, so I, I went into coaching about 11 years into my teaching career, mostly just because I was gonna stay home with my third child as having a third baby. And I got involved in the health and wellness industry and I started, promoting just some of my, what I had been doing for my mental health and social media, and I got a lot of really good positive feedback from that and realizing, wait, people need these tools.
People need the tools that I’ve found to help bring relief to symptoms. I mean, I can say now that I’ve been symptom free from I was diagnosed with PTSD first, then depression, then bipolar disorder, all by the time I was 18. And so
Dr. Supatra Tovar: Wow.
Erin Kerry: walking symptom free from those things as symptom free as you can be from PTSD.
But I’m wa definitely walking symptom free from bipolar disorder and depression for close to 15 years, maybe longer. Sometimes I joke, ask my husband, because been married for [00:05:00] 15 years and he always says he’s, he’s a trauma therapist actually, and he always says, I’ve never really seen you hypomanic.
I’ve never really seen you depressed. He’s seen like a seasonal depression sometimes kick in for me. Um, and just me feeling very overwhelmed, but he’s never seen me extremely unstable. So, so I’ve definitely been in a good solid place living symptom free for over 15 years. So that’s, I my, that answer was very multilayered.
So.
Dr. Supatra Tovar: Very, but it, it’s, it certainly is a journey and it, it takes a lot to get to where you are now in terms of feeling symptom-free and just thriving. If you could give a picture as much as you feel comfortable, what do you think were the factors that led to these diagnoses?
Erin Kerry: So many factors and I, I think just for listeners to hear that it’s never just one thing. I think sometimes we get caught up in this, especially now as functional medicine is getting more popular, [00:06:00] people are like, I wanna find the root cause, right? As if there’s one. There are so many layers, and my story is a very multi-layered story.
And even just stemming from childhood and infancy, I, um, struggled. My mom would say I was just a sick baby. I struggled with ear infections all the time. I had colic. I was very, um, emotionally reactive even as a baby. And I, I was very sensitive to my environment, even as a baby and as a young child. Now I think I may have qualified. Looking back, I could have qualified probably for an A DHD diagnosis also early in elementary school. But you know, they didn’t diagnose girls with ADHD back then. I just knew I was really sensitive to people to input, to not getting enough sleep at night to food. I had ruthless sugar cravings at one point.
I always joke about this, um, by the time I was in high school at one point I had eight Boston Cream pie Dunkin’ Donuts in one setting. I wasn’t even
Dr. Supatra Tovar: full.
Um.
Erin Kerry: I just, I just kept eating ’em. [00:07:00] It was this strange, I just had this insatiable desire for sugar and sweetss. I don’t know if I was looking for serotonin or dopamine or, um, even if there’s something going on with my gut.
I had had rounds and rounds of antibiotics all throughout my childhood. Lots of strep throat. Um, if anybody’s familiar with the term psycho neuroimmunology, I believe that there’s a, there’s a lot going on. Even something to, the extent of maybe a PANS or a PANDAS dynamic for me, if anybody’s familiar with that.
It’s just kind of that inflamm neuroinflammation created by. High viral load. I believe that that contributed. And then I experienced I would say, a big T trauma. When I was nine. I watched my grandpa die of anaphylactic shock in my front yard, and that was one of those situations where my brother, my sister and I, we all watched it happen.
I was nine. They were seven, they were twins. And every single one of us, and I know you’ll appreciate this for sure, from a psychology perspective, every single one of us was impacted in a different way. My sister did not really experience PTSD [00:08:00] symptoms. Kind of got over, I, as I say, get over it very loosely, right?
Like she recovered, she bounced back. She was resilient. My brother and I really struggled. And so I think that there are even some dynamics there just based upon our makeup, whatever that is, whether it’s genetically or nutrient wise, or maybe some previous trauma that we inherited in our DNA, who knows, right?
But we both really struggled. So for me, I was just having a lot of depression pop up between seventh and eighth grade and flashbacks from that event. And I couldn’t watch certain movies where characters would die. I still struggle with that. There are certain movies that, like my husband and even my kids know, they’re like, if there’s a death in it, mom can’t watch it because it, it just takes me back.
And that’s when I first entered freeze mode and I started dissociating. And so that freeze mode and dissociation turned into depression. So around that same time I was having hormonal imbalances and I was put on the birth control pill and in order to suppress my [00:09:00] cycle so that I would not, um, have such strong periods so that I wouldn’t be anemic.
You know, all of the reasons that, that, a lot of times they’ll put young girls on the birth control pill. Well, we do know now we have the studies that it increases anxiety and depression, specifically for teenage girls, for all women, but a large, large portion of teenage girls are affected by this.
And so for me, within a year of that, my depression just got worse. And I will say for people who don’t know the birth control pill depletes B 6. B 6 is a crucial, crucial co-factor for creating serotonin and dopamine, but the birth control pill also can impact enhanced intestinal permeability. So I likely already had some gut issues, maybe some gut brain dynamics gone awry because of all of my antibiotics
that, that I had been prescribed as a young child. And so then you throw in the birth control pill and deplete me of B 6 and mess with the gut. And it was like, well, pretty soon they put me on, uh, I think the first antidepressant I was on was [00:10:00] Zoloft and Zoloft. And this will tie into what we probably will be discussing. And a little bit, but Zoloft caused me to gain about 25 pounds within a year. And so, you know, so you just keep adding to these layers of, I just felt like I couldn’t catch a break. And even with the Zoloft, I still struggled with depression. I still crashed. I still had these periods of extremego, go, go do and achieve.
And then on the weekends, I would just lock myself away, dissociate, read fiction for hours and hours and reading and writing. And that’s why I ended up wanting, like I said, to be an English teacher and study English literature. It became an outlet for me to take me away from the real world, but it was, there were a lot of struggles along the way.
Even through high school. I still struggle with immune health issues. I was sick my senior year of high school. I know for sure I was absent at least once a week because my friends. They made a little card for me to put on my desk when I was absent and it, they just called it Erin’s off day. It was Erin’s off day.
’cause they knew it was, I was either tired, I was, you [00:11:00] know, my throat hurt ’cause I had chronic strep things going on. I mean, it was just wild. So by the time I was a freshman, in college, I was diagnosed with mononucleosis, but I could not slow down. That’s when I started experiencing symptoms of hypomania and I would stay up for all hours of the night.
And I think looking back again, you know, when we look back we see things so clearly. Right. Um, but I do think that there was for sure some brain on fire dynamics going on. Um, I think my immune system was over signaling to my brain. There were some, there was some, probably some overactive immune activity at the brain level that was creating these hypomanic episodes, and I was very self-destructive.
Eventually I found out that I could, once I got on medication, the heavy duty psych meds, I could self-medicate with alcohol. Really just kind of take myself outta my body until I ended up finding myself pregnant, my, um, senior year of college. And that was the ultimate wake up call. Like, oh my gosh, what is going on? Um, now I really need to figure out what to do. [00:12:00] Somehow I made it through college okay. But I just, my social life, my, my inner, um, critic, critic was very, very loud. I felt so broken. I felt angry that I had been given what I thought. I, I, I had been given gifts to write and to, um, achieve academically and to get involved in activities. I felt like I had all these gifts and abilities that I could not use, because I was broken, because my brain couldn’t work right. And it was extremely frustrating, and I know so many, so many people are experiencing this right now. Right? And, and especially in the, our teens are suffering from this.
And so. I thought I was alone at the time. Now we’re seeing an abundance of this, but I didn’t know anybody else growing up that struggled the way I did. If they did, they did it in secret, you know? It wasn’t as talked about. I didn’t know anybody else taking medication. I didn’t know. I definitely didn’t know anybody else on Lithium or Depakote or Tegratal or these extreme psych meds that [00:13:00] many of them cause me to hallucinate or have terrible side effects or things like that. So, um, that’s kind of the, I’ll pause there. I will say getting pregnant with my daughter, even though I thought that was like the ultimate, worst, scariest thing that could happen to me, um, because I had to get off of my meds at that point to have a healthy pregnancy. Um, it ended up being the thing that saved my life.
Dr. Supatra Tovar: Wow, there are so many layers to your history and you, you have really kind of identified a lot of the stressors, a lot of the difficulties that you face, a lot of the pressures, especially as you were getting into college. And now, you know, when you can look back. You also have, you can look at it from a.
Nutrition lens.
Erin Kerry: Oh my goodness
Dr. Supatra Tovar: What, when you examine your childhood, and I think that this is so important when we are counseling, parents in how to take care of their child in terms of what nutrition to provide [00:14:00] them, what do you feel like you might not have had enough of or too much of when you were young?
Erin Kerry: I’m so glad you asked that because I really believe that food is mood. I think we can’t build a healthy brain without healthy cells, and you can’t have healthy cells without the right nutrients. And I think I was chronically nutrient deficient and know. The question is, was it because of maybe a gut microbiome that wasn’t wasn’t optimal?
Maybe, or maybe I ate too fast or we could talk about all those factors, but for sure I ate the standard American diet growing up. You know, I had the poptarts I had, and this was. Um, I’m in my forties, so this was the eighties where this is just how things were. I think there
Dr. Supatra Tovar: No.
Erin Kerry: were some parents out there at that time that knew a little bit more about nutrition, but my mom, she’ll even laugh now.
She’s like, there is no Facebook. You know, how, how would I have gotten this information? Except we knew dieting, we knew diet culture. They [00:15:00] knew maybe what not to eat or if something was fattening, which is always a funny phrase, right? Because who knows what that means. Um, they knew Diet Coke was out there.
It was just by the time it was the nineties and I was, um, middle school age, everything was like, well eat a lot of bagels and popcorn and potatoes and eat mostly refined carbs because then you lower your fat. Well, I think about how our brains thrive on good, healthy fats like omega 3’s. I probably never got omega 3’s , right?
I don’t think I got things like, um, avocados or I’m thinking like any of the good sources that would be fueling, nourishing to the brain, leafy greens. That wasn’t happening. Um, if I had salads, it’s because I was dieting and I was trying to drop a couple pounds, but it was like very flavorless, know, not enjoyable food.
I thought healthy food didn’t taste good. Um, and I, and of course I say healthy food loosely because I’ll [00:16:00] say, um, nutrient dense food. I thought nutrient dense food didn’t taste good. I wanted to eat what felt good in the moment that gave me fuel in the moment or turned my brain on from a, maybe from a dopamine serotonin standpoint, but there wasn’t a lot of staying power, so I was just constantly hungry for sugar and sweets, and that’s, that’s what I ate, especially by the time I got my driver’s license.
That’s, all I ate.
Dr. Supatra Tovar: Yes. So if you could have gone back and and coached your mom, what would you tell her would be the most important thing for both physical and mental health?
Erin Kerry: Yeah. Gosh. I would, I would say, I would talk to my mom about learning to make vegetables more flavorful and tasty ’cause I love flavor. Give me all the flavors. Give me the salt and the garlic powder and the pepper and the paprika and the, you know, I, I would suggest that, because I think that that would’ve been helpful. I [00:17:00] did enjoy, and she did try to feed me a lot of eggs. And I think at that point it was, there was some nutrient density thinking there. We, we’ve talked about this and I’ve felt pretty good eating eggs. But yeah, eating a lot more. I joke, we, I think the phrasing now is called, um, being an ingredient household, right?
Like where you have a whole lot of ingredients on hand to make things, not necessarily process, package things. So, and, and I ate a lot of cereal for breakfast. That’s one thing for sure. I, I, if I’m going to, you know, have a hill to die on as a parent myself, it’s like we gotta have something other than cereal for breakfast because that’s just spike in blood sugar really, really high, really fast, and then dropping it down really fast and that creates mood dysregulation.
Dr. Supatra Tovar: Yes, I would say that, you know, moms from the seventies and eighties, uh, were swept up in the convenience craze that came at that time, you had a lot of, like, that’s when Hamburger Helper
Erin Kerry: Yep.
Dr. Supatra Tovar: came out and you had like Rice o Roni and you [00:18:00] would make meals from Campbell Soup remember how you’d like make a casserole from your Campbell soup
can
Erin Kerry: Mm-hmm.
Dr. Supatra Tovar: That was a time when I, I think. It was, touted as this innovation and, and convenience and to make mom’s lives easier, so we can never blame them for that. That was, the product of some really good marketing. Just like we’re seeing all throughout the ages. You’ve seen, in the fifties the marketing was different.
It was just like, how could you be the perfect housewife and how much time can you put in to making these homemade meals? Seventies and eighties were like, women were starting to get out there and work and they didn’t have all that time to, home, make their bread and do things like that.
So to have the convenience foods were really helpful. And they were also, convenience foods were touted by like astronauts and stuff, we would like, oh well the astronauts use this food. Well Tang, we should probably, uh, feed that to our kids too, because, they’re so healthy.[00:19:00]
So we have had a lot of, influence coming from, food corporations that influenced your, so it’s really good to know. What you would tell her now, and just how, sensitively you might inform her about the, what we know about nutrition and how it affects both physical and mental health.
So I, I wanna transition a little and, and find how the podcast came into being for you. How did you create this? How did you get it going? And how did you make it successful?
Erin Kerry: Yeah, that’s a good question and I think something that is so important to bring up first is the shame that comes with the stigma of of a diagnosis like bipolar disorder because it is a disorder that people joke about like it’s weather, right? Like this person’s just crazy and they’re gonna flip moods out in an instant.
That’s not how it was for me. Right? But I still lived with the shame. I [00:20:00] mostly, and at the time when I was diagnosed, they didn’t distinguish between bipolar one, bipolar two, but um, I think now looking back, I mostly probably identified with that heavier depressive episodes, but then I would have those brief periods of hypomania.
I didn’t have extreme mania unless it was induced by a substance, which, um, happened with marijuana and, or it was induced by a virus or something like that. Like with the, when I had mono, and so there’s so much stigma that came with that diagnosis that even when I was teaching, I for sure did not want a principal to know that, that I had bipolar disorder.
Right? Like I didn’t wanna be that person with the label on because people. People are people, and most people don’t even know what bipolar disorder is, and they’re just gonna make a quick judgment call. And that that’s what we do as people. It’s a very human thing. And so it was hard for me. I would maybe mention I struggled with depression here and there to people, or I would call it anxiety because hypomania could maybe look a little bit like anxiety.
Right? Um, so I would say things [00:21:00] here and there because I am a very vulnerable person and I have struggles and that’s just a big part of, of how I share and how I relate to other people is that I’m not exempt from struggles. But I never really went public about anything until it was 2018. I started sharing my story and at that point I felt like my symptoms had stabilized enough to where I could share about it and it wouldn’t be super triggering for me to even get any kind of weird, ’cause I’ve gotten a lot of really interesting responses when I started sharing about my struggles. It’s amazing. What, what will fill your inbox when you get that vulnerable right? And one person was, I’ve been accused of being anti-medication even though I was medicated for 18 years. One part of my story is that I’m not, I, I’ve been med free for over 10 years because I’ve been able to find stability with other tools. But I have to say that very carefully because I don’t want anyone to think that there’s something wrong with them for taking meds. I don’t want people to think there’s something wrong with them when the meds don’t work, right?
Like it’s a such a nuanced topic. [00:22:00] So I didn’t start sharing until 2018, and when I shared, I received all sorts of input, but mostly positive. It was mostly positive. People wanted to know more, people wanted to learn what I had done to keep my symptoms in essentially remission and what daily habits I was incorporating to feel so good for such a long period of time, because that’s not always talked about.
We hear the horror stories, right? We hear the dark sides of depression, the dark sides of bipolar disorder. We hear about the epidemic and how many people are struggling like I. I even referenced it myself a minute ago. Hope so many teens are struggling, but we’re not hearing the hope. I think it’s really, really important to hear that just because you struggle with something that’s a quote, mental illness doesn’t mean that you’re gonna su suffer from it for the rest of your life.
Right. And for me, I was told I would always struggle and that’s just not true. And so I experienced a massive wave of positive feedback when I started [00:23:00] sharing. And then I started digging into things more because at that point I had already gotten my certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and then I was like, well, I gotta learn more.
So I started my podcast essentially. ’cause I wanted to learn more. I wanted to interview people like you. I wanted the education and I wanted to get like up close and personal with the experts because what better way? And it was really, so I started the podcast fall of 2019. I. And it was spring of 2020 when Covid hit, and that’s when the topic of mental health, of course, started getting a little bit more front and center situationally.
And so it, it blew up from there. And that was really amazing. I was able to, I, I was able to be more picky about selecting my guests, and finding out really streamlining. This is what I want to talk about. I focus a lot on just, anything mental health related, but whether that means hormones, because our hormones as we age as females, that’s gonna impact mental health.
But it could be, specific issues that are root causes. [00:24:00] It could be, I interviewed somebody recently about, what was the phrase? It was chronic fatigue, but she called it myalgic encephalitis neuroinflammation. And so it’s just getting really nitpicky about topics has been fascinating for me. And so, the podcast has just been an amazing outlet for me to learn, but also to share more stories of hope and healing because there are so many people out there who are sharing, yes, we can heal.
We can heal, but not everybody is hearing that from your regular news sources. So that’s been really amazing. I ended up getting another certification from the School of Functional School of Applied Functional Medicine, which just taught me more about the interconnectedness of all things in the body.
That, of course the brain and the body are not separate. And
Dr. Supatra Tovar: Okay.
Erin Kerry: what is the interplay with hormones and nervous system and detoxification and gut health and um, circulation, and how are we all just. complex web spider web of symptoms and causes and issues, and how can we unravel that and [00:25:00] learn to heal again, essentially create an environment for healing
’cause it’s not that we can’t heal, we just don’t always have the environment for healing. Right. And that
Dr. Supatra Tovar: Yes.
Erin Kerry: is mind, body, spirit related. So, that’s where, so then I ended up, I guess I’ll end on the fact that I do have a book coming out in September, so that’s gonna
Dr. Supatra Tovar: Oh yes.
Erin Kerry: way. Um, so I’ve got the podcast and I, and I did the blogging thing as well. I have some things on my blog, but essentially the book was kind of the culmination for me of like, how can I put all of this that I’ve learned and everything in my own personal story in one place? So
Dr. Supatra Tovar: Yes.
Erin Kerry: outlet coming out soon.
Dr. Supatra Tovar: Well, we’re gonna talk about that. I really wanna get into that in depth in the second part of this episode. But we’re out of time for this one. I just wanna say that. Yes, yes, yes, yes to all of it. I love podcasting for the same reasons. I love to pick people’s brains and learn, and learn and learn, and that’s how you and I are
complete sisters in this way. And I think it’s just, it’s such [00:26:00] a wonderful way to just, open up and communicate and, you know, just delve into subjects that you just don’t have that much education in and then really learn. That’s what people can get from these podcasts as well. So
Erin Kerry: Yeah.
Yeah. I’m
Dr. Supatra Tovar: so happy to hear of
your journey all the way to this point and we are definitely gonna dig into that book ’cause I really wanna know what that’s all about. Please tune in next time for this second half of this amazing episode with Integrative Nutrition Coach and Sparking Wholeness in this podcaster, Erin Kerry.
Thanks Erin.
Erin Kerry: Thank you.
