Episode 154: Using Functional Lab Testing with Reed Davis

Published: June 9, 2023, 3:19 a.m.

Welcome to Protecting Your Nest with Dr. Tony Hampton. Reed Davis, Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP) and Certified Nutritional Therapist (CNT), is an expert in functional lab testing and holistic lifestyle medicine. Over 20 years ago, Reed Davis recognized people were caught in a \u201ccycle of trial and error\u201d 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 \u201chealing opportunities.\u201d Using all-natural, drug-free protocols, Reed made observations about who got better and who didn\u2019t, codifying which \u201cgeneral principles of health building\u201d would outperform \u201cspecific treatments\u201d being provided by standard and even alternative medicine. And through this work, he then developed the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition\xae Certification Course and D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success Protocol\xae 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.
