Test! Don't Guess: The Value of Functional Lab Testing with Reed Davis Ep172

Someone asks you how you are and you say "I'm fine, thanks!" But, you don't feel  "fine", in fact you feel horrible. You have no energy, you don't sleep, your skin looks bad, you can't lose the weight you've mysteriously added to your frame, you could go on and on. You know something's wrong. But when you go to the doctor seeking solutions, you're told you're "normal". Feeling unwell is common, but it isn't normal. You shouldn't give up looking for answers. 

In this episode, Cody and her expert guest, Reed Davis, discuss the value of functional lab testing. They share what tests are available and what they can uncover for us. These tests include saliva, urine, stool and blood testing and they allow functional nutritionist, like Cody and Reed, to be able to look at things differently, like a health detective. Their goal is to help each of us be better able to take control of our own health.
