In this special bonus episode of Root Causes, Vibrant Health, Elizabeth sits down with her longtime collaborator, strategist, and friend Erin—who also happens to be a patient. Erin shares her deeply personal health journey that began at age 14 after the traumatic loss of a friend that led her into the world of functional medicine.
From early Epstein-Barr virus and a candida diet, to fibroids, constipation, and a surprising hormone profile in her 40s, Erin’s story reveals how trauma, gut health, hormone metabolism, and detoxification are profoundly interconnected.
You’ll hear about:
The role of trauma in long-term health patterns
Why estrogen detox matters—especially with fibroids
How a sluggish COMT pathway can impact mood and hormone clearance
What the DUTCH test can reveal that standard hormone labs don’t
The surprising supplement that helped Erin feel like herself again
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like their symptoms didn’t “make sense”—and is ready to explore the root causes beneath the surface.
