163: From Bloodwork to Breakthroughs With Reed Davis

About this episode

Reed Davis discusses the modern health crisis and the benefits of functional lab testing and holistic health approaches.

In this episode, I sit with Reed Davis — board-certified holistic health practitioner, certified nutritional therapist, and founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition — to unpack the modern health crisis and a different way forward. Reed shares his journey from environmental paralegal to leading educator in functional lab testing, why conventional bloodwork often misses the real causes, and how the DRESS framework (Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress reduction, Supplementation) helps resolve what he calls “metabolic chaos.” We dive into real stories of transformation from clearing chronic hives and medication dependence to helping a child avoid stimulant meds through diet and lifestyle, and why running multiple, targeted labs is the “price of admission” for finding upstream healing opportunities. Reed also explains how FDN trains practitioners to interpret functional labs, design individualized protocols, and coach clients through lasting change. If you’re curious about lab-led holistic care, personalized protocols, and practical steps to reclaim long-term health, this episode is for you.
