For years, Erin Kerry was told her mental health struggles were due to a “chemical imbalance.” She did what many do: followed the standard treatment plan. Medications led to more medications to manage side effects. But through it all, she never truly felt well.

In this eye-opening episode of Health Under the Hood, Dr. Markyia Nichols sits down with Erin, functional medicine practitioner, mother of three, and host of the Sparking Wholeness podcast, to talk about what happens when conventional care falls short, and what’s possible when we dig deeper.

Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, PTSD, and depression, Erin went on a personal mission to heal, not just survive. Her journey led her to uncover powerful root causes, from past trauma to nutrient deficiencies to gut health imbalances, and remain medication-free for more than a decade.
