Episode #117: Feel Better, Faster & Take Control of Your Health for Good

My guest this week is Reed Davis, HHP, CNT, LEHP | Founder, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition

In this episode, Reed and I discuss how you can truly take control of your own health and end the cycle of trial and error by identifying opportunities for healing. Are you stuck on the hamster wheel of subclinical or ill health? Does every doctor tell you nothing is wrong? Do you have low energy, libido or mood? Do you struggle to manage stress, sleep, or always get sick? These are just some of the common complaints…but common doesn't mean normal or healthy.

So how do we end this metabolic chaos? Reed and I discuss the importance of shifting our society’s obsession with chasing symptoms, because they are not the problem, they are the result of the problem. He shares how his FDN program does this through a proven DRESS framework that includes proper testing, intake forms and individualized protocols. FDN is one of the most respected coaching programs available, offering a certification course to teach not only existing medical practitioners but general people from all walks of life who want to heal their own body. The body innately knows how to be healthy, we just need the right information and provide the right tools, and that’s exactly what FDN graduates are trained to do. Tune in to learn where to start to curate the right data to uncover the most dysfunction in the body, hormone & adrenal support, food sensitivity testing, intelligent supplementation, nutrition and so much more.

Berkeley Life is dedicated to supporting healthy nitric oxide levels. Nitric oxide is a vital molecule made naturally in the body, responsible for vasodilation and circulation. As we age we produce less, resulting in diminished blood flow. Berkeley Life supplements provide a dietary nitrate that the body converts into nitric oxide. This helps to maintain healthy circulation, delivering nutrients where they need to go. Nitric oxide also has topical impacts. Berkeley Life's new topical nitric oxide serum combines vitamin C and nitrite to create nitric oxide gas directly on the skin delivering oxygen and nutrients.
