In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause chats with Reed Davis, a double board-certified holistic health practitioner and founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN). Reed shares his personal journey into holistic health, the origins of FDN, and why functional lab testing is a cornerstone for uncovering hidden health issues.

He explains his DRESS protocol—Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress reduction, and Supplementation—as a comprehensive, client-centered framework for health optimization. Reed breaks down the concept of metabolic chaos, how it develops, and why conventional medicine often misses it.

The conversation dives into the critical role of behavioral changes, the supportive power of health coaches, and how AI in health can serve as a tool—without replacing the personalized connection between practitioner and client. Reed leaves listeners with actionable insights on continuity of care and the importance of taking charge of their own health journey.
