On this week’s episode of the
Girlfriend Doctor Show, we had a delightful conversation with Reed
Davis. After helping thousands of plants as an Environmental
Paralegal, and then thousands of people as a Certified Nutritional
Therapist and Health Coach, he observed what works and what doesn’t
when it comes to underlying health issues.
He integrated his professions to
become president of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, where he
specializes in rebuilding and maintaining the stability of the
hormone, immune, digestion, and detoxification systems. In this
episode, we also discuss the dangers of thyroids, as well as
exterior factors that may exacerbate our brain and gut health, such
as toxins in the air and artificial colors, flavors, and
preservatives.
Almost every guest we have on
here always seems to circle around a topic that we discuss quite
frequently on The Girlfriend Doctor, and that is the idea that we
are what we consume. We have to monitor our nutrition on a daily
basis in order to reverse or prevent chronic disorders and
illnesses, not only for ourselves but for our children as well.
Tune in and find out exactly how Reed got his start in the world of
functional nutrition and how people being healed, heals
him!

WHERE TO FIND THE GUEST:
MEMORABLE QUOTES:
- “One of the things behind
thyroid is to understand that it’s actually an adaptive measure. If
you’re under a lot of stress, what would the body want to do? It
would kind of want to hibernate.”
- “The thyroid is just getting
signals like all your organs. They get signals through the blood
and through hormones that travel through the blood.”
- “What we definitely see are the
self-improvements. By giving people the diet, the rest, the
exercise, the stress reduction is so huge… Your cortisol and DHA
get balanced and your sex hormones seem to smooth out a little
bit.”
- “When someone has thyroid
dysfunction, on the hypo-thyroid side, it can be just an adaptive
response to the levels of stress you’re at.”
- “We ran a couple of tests and
found the boy was eating foods that were very irritating,
neurostimulators and things like that.”
- “Talking about the six main
categories behind imbalances, so hormones, immune system,
digestion, detoxification, energy production, and nervous
system.”
- “Healthy mind, healthy body, and nutrition…
nutrients that we need. And that goes down to the gut, the
microbiome.”
