89. There Is No Single Root Cause to Your Health Problem With Reed Davis

Reed Davis talks about functional diagnostic nutrition, what it is, how it is different from holistic nutrition, and how it can help you improve your health.   Over 20 years ago, Reed recognized people were caught in a “cycle of trial and error,” and he committed to being the last person they needed to see.   While working with top leaders in alternative medicine, he ran thousands of labs on thousands of people and learned to identify “healing opportunities.”     And through this work, he then developed the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Certification Course and D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success Protocol® to educate and empower as many people as possible about how to get well and stay well naturally, so they, in turn, may empower others to do the same.   We talk about: 04:00 - My new personal affirmations 11:30 - Reading the book “We Should All Be Millionaires.” 23:00 - Functional diagnostic nutrition and its difference from holistic nutrition 24:40 - What “HIDDEN” stands for 27:10 - The impact of functional diagnostic nutrition in Reed’s clients 35:10 - What GI pathogens are 40:10 - The problem with finding the “root cause” of a health issue 47:10 - Turning your genes on or off 50:10 - Stress management and adrenal fatigue 01:05:10 - Headaches and migraines - the result of the problem   Resources: Functional Diagnostic Nutrition program   Let’s Connect: Instagram Facebook Subscribe to my newsletter Shop my favorite health products Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Play   Sponsors:  Use my discount code BIOHACKINGBRITTANY for Sensate at https://www.getsensate.com/biohackingbrittany for $25 off today.
