Meet Reed: Twenty years ago Reed Davis witnessed individuals visit the doctor continually without any real healing occurring and believed there had to be a better way. He made it his life’s mission to provide care and coaching for people who were wanting results, without the harsh drugs so often prescribed. He’s a certified nutritional coach and fitness coach, and developed a program called Functional Diagnostic Nutrition that has taught thousands of people across many countries how to empower themselves and others how to get well and stay well naturally. On this week’s episode we talk with Reed about his program and the importance of natural healing in the battle against poor health.

(11:04) Standard blood tests provided by most physicians only scratch the surface to what’s going on. (14:04) It’s important to pay attention even when you’re in a “normal range” in your blood work. It’s in those periods of being fine and not fine that we have to do research. (20:55)
