Episode 129 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast is about the importance of functional lab testing in identifying the root causes of chronic illness.
In this episode, you’ll meet Reed Davis, a board-certified holistic health practitioner (HHP), certified nutritional therapist (CNT), the founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN), and an expert in functional lab testing and holistic lifestyle medicine.
He’s also one of the authors of The Gap: Simple Steps to Reclaim Your Health and Reverse Most Chronic Diseases. This book is the missing link, the piece of the puzzle that holds the answers you’ve been searching for. It’s the gap between chronic disease and your true recovery.
Reed shares his journey into the field of holistic health and explains how functional lab testing differs from traditional blood work. He introduces the concept of H.I.D.D.E.N. (hormone, immune, digestion, detoxification, energy production, and nervous system balance) healing opportunities and discusses the significance of individualized approaches to diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction, and supplementation.
He also emphasizes the importance of addressing hidden internal stressors, such as food sensitivities and imbalances in the microbiome, and discusses the concept of metabolic chaos and the importance of addressing multiple root causes of health issues.
It’s an incredible conversation on addressing hidden internal stressors for optimal well-being!
Key Takeaways:
For optimal health, an individualized approach to diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction, and supplementation is crucial.
Addressing hidden internal stressors, such as food sensitivities and imbalances in the microbiome, can significantly reduce stress on the body and improve overall well-being.
Functional lab testing offers a comprehensive and personalized approach to healthcare, focusing on the underlying causes rather than just treating symptoms.
Metabolic chaos refers to the interconnectedness of multiple root causes of health issues, making it important to address all contributing factors.
Personal longevity practices can include sauna use, taking supplements, and following the D.R.E.S.S. framework (diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction, and supplementation). Get the D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success Guidebook for FREE right here!
