Reed Davis: Understanding the Connection Between Nutrition and Skin Health

When it comes to maintaining our skin health, many of us focus on what we put on our skin, rather than how we treat and nourish our bodies. But the truth is, the secret to achieving radiant, youthful skin goes beyond just topical treatment. Our guest today is here to share the inside-out approach to health that could have a significant impact on the appearance of our skin.

Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, is joined by Reed Davis to discuss the connection between nutrition and skin health. He shares his journey into Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) and his unique approach to treating health issues. We also cover why it’s important to focus on treating underlying causes rather than symptoms, and why detoxifying the body and maintaining a healthy microbiome are key in improving skin health.

Reed Davis is the Founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) and the FDN Certification Course. He has made an invaluable contribution to the health and wellness industry through FDN. He has trained thousands of practitioners worldwide in functional lab testing and holistic lifestyle approaches, empowering them to help their clients reach optimal health by addressing the root causes of their health issues, rather than only their symptoms.

Key Takeaways:

• Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) is a holistic approach to health that takes an inside-out perspective, placing emphasis on the relationship between nutrition and skin health. It recognizes that the appearance and condition of the skin are influenced by internal factors, such as gut health and nutrient deficiencies. FDN focuses on addressing the root causes of skin issues rather than solely managing the symptoms.
• Physical, chemical, and emotional stressors can have profound and enduring impacts on the body. Traumatic experiences and intense physical activity can contribute to the accumulation of trauma within the body, which can have long-lasting effects. Additionally, constant exposure to external factors and toxins can also take a toll on the body's well-being. 
• Eating according to your genetic requirements refers to following a diet that is tailored to your individual genetic makeup. The idea behind this approach is that each person's genetic composition influences how their body responds to different types of food and nutrients. By understanding your genetic requirements, you can make informed dietary choices that align with your body's specific needs.
