Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | Others
Welcome back to the Nutrition Edit Podcast! Today's show is a great followup to my last episode, episode five, about what to do when nothing's working. At the end of that show, I talk about the importance of seeking out support and guidance from a practitioner who could dig deeper and help you uncover possible reasons why you're not seeing the changes you want. And one of the ways we can do that is with lab testing.
Lab testing is a really powerful tool that we can use to help identify hidden roadblocks and make sure we're doing what we need to do instead of barking up the wrong tree. But most standard lab tests are not comprehensive and they won't necessarily shed light on why you're struggling. So I wanted to bring on an expert to explain the difference between functional and standard labs and why functional labs can be so effective in helping you achieve your health goals and live your best life.
My guest today is Reed Davis. Reed Davis is a board certified holistic health practitioner, certified nutritional therapist, and an expert in functional lab testing and holistic lifestyle medicine. He is the founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition and the FDN certification course, which has over 4, 000 graduates in 50 countries.
Reed is also one of the authors of The Gap, Simple Steps to Reclaim Your Health and Reverse Most Chronic Diseases. In addition to running FDN, Reed serves on the advisory boards of the American Natural Wellness Coaches Board and the American Association of Natural Wellness Coaches. And he's known as one of the most experienced clinicians in his field.
I've been following Reed's work for years now, and he's a wealth of information when it comes to lab testing and how we can use that data to uncover healing opportunities.
If you're struggling to make progress on your health journey, labs may be the next step towards feeling your best. I am not a physician and I can't use labs to diagnose or treat you, but I can run labs for you and use that data to help you optimize your nutrition, fitness and lifestyle choices.
