What if a client’s fatigue, digestive concerns, poor sleep, and stress are connected?

When several concerns show up together, it can be difficult to know where to start. Addressing each one separately may leave practitioners searching for answers without a clear understanding of how the pieces fit together.

In this episode of the Holistic Growth Podcast, Dr. Tracey Stroup sits down with Reed Davis, founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN), to explore Metabolic Chaos®, the concept at the center of his approach. Reed uses the term to describe how stressors and imbalances involving hormones, digestion, immune function, detoxification, and energy production can influence one another, creating a complicated picture of a client’s health.

That perspective ties the conversation together: what practitioners test, how they interpret the results, and how they help clients put those findings into practice. Reed explains his “test, don’t guess” philosophy and why lab data needs to be considered alongside a person’s history, symptoms, and daily habits.

They also explore FDN’s D.R.E.S.S. framework: diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction, and supplementation. Reed shares how these foundations shape an individualized plan, where supplements fit, and why he developed his Metabolic Rebalance formula.

In this episode:

• What Reed means by “metabolic chaos” and why it anchors the FDN methodology
• How stressors and imbalances across body systems can influence one another
• Why several symptoms may need to be considered together
• How testing can help practitioners connect the dots
• Why lab results need context from the client’s history and experience
• How the D.R.E.S.S. framework translates findings into daily habits
• Why nutrition and lifestyle recommendations need to fit the individual
• Where supplementation fits within Reed’s broader approach
• The story behind Metabolic Rebalance
• How FDN trains practitioners to apply this methodology

Your EMR knows what happened during the appointment. But what happens to the relationship outside of it?

Many private practices use their EMR as the center of their entire operation—and then wonder why leads slip through the cracks, follow-up depends on staff memory, former patients disappear, and growth feels harder than it should.

In this episode of the Holistic Growth Podcast, Dr. Tracey Stroup sits down with private-practice strategist and entrepreneur Matt Schneider, founder of Profit Practice and Ignition Systems, to unpack the difference between an EMR and a CRM—and why understanding that distinction can change the way a practice grows.

They explore what happens before someone becomes a patient, what happens between appointments, and what happens after a patient leaves the active care cycle. Matt explains why practices need systems for tracking relationships and next steps—not only clinical records—and how better workflows, automation, and follow-up can help practitioners stay connected without creating more manual work for themselves or their teams.

In this episode:

The fundamental difference between an EMR/EHR and a CRM

• Why using an EMR as a CRM can create operational blind spots
• What happens to prospective patients before they ever enter the EMR
• Why follow-up shouldn't depend on someone remembering to do it
• How practices lose opportunities when leads and patients don't have a clear "next step"
• The role of pipelines in understanding where people are in their journey
• Where automation can reduce administrative burden without removing the human relationship
• Why dormant or former patients shouldn't simply disappear from view
• How better systems can support retention and re-engagement
• Why practice growth isn't only about generating more leads
• How practitioners can begin separating clinical workflows from business and relationship workflows
• What scalable practices do differently operationally

Detox is everywhere in wellness, but how do we support the process without overwhelming the person we're trying to help?

Heavy metals. Mold. Environmental exposures. Binders. Detox reactions. Patients are hearing more about toxic burden than ever, and practitioners are increasingly being asked what they should actually do about it.

In this episode of the Holistic Growth Podcast, Dr. Tracey Stroup sits down with Jeff Hoyt of Zeolite Labs for a deeper conversation about what detoxification really means and why supporting the body's ability to manage its total burden may be more nuanced than simply trying to "push toxins out."

Tracey and Jeff explore the constant exposures we encounter in modern life, how the body's existing workload may influence a patient's response to a detox protocol, and where binders such as zeolite fit into the conversation.

They also unpack why some people experience so-called detox reactions, why dose and binding capacity matter, and the importance of taking an individualized rather than one-size-fits-all approach.

For practitioners, the bigger takeaway is simple: detox should be approached as a process, not a punishment.

In this episode:

• What practitioners really mean when they talk about "toxic burden"
• Why modern environmental exposure has made detoxification such a common wellness conversation
• External versus internally produced sources of physiological burden
• Why some people seem much more sensitive to detox protocols than others
• The difference between mobilizing compounds and supporting their elimination
• Where binders fit within a broader detoxification strategy
• How zeolite works differently from some other commonly discussed binders
• Why Jeff believes dosing and binding capacity deserve more attention
• The thinking behind a "catch and release" approach to detox support
• Common misunderstandings surrounding detox reactions
• Why product quality and purity matter when evaluating zeolite
• The importance of looking at the patient's overall capacity rather than following a one-size-fits-all protocol
• How practitioners can make complex detox concepts easier for patients to understand

What happens when the person teaching everyone else how to be healthy is running herself into the ground?

Practitioners spend their days helping other people feel better, but the pace of running a practice can quietly normalize exhaustion, constant motion, and the idea that rest has to be earned.

In this episode of the Holistic Growth Podcast, Dr. Tracey Stroup sits down with yoga teacher, author, and retreat leader Véronique Ory of Yoga with Véronique to talk about what happens when drive becomes depleted and how we can pursue meaningful growth without sacrificing our own health along the way.

Véronique shares her journey from theatre and entrepreneurship into yoga, including why she once felt guilty whenever she wasn't moving forward and what happened when exhaustion finally forced her to pay attention.

Together, Tracey and Véronique explore the signals our bodies give us when we have been pushing too hard, why entrepreneurs and practitioners often find slowing down so difficult, and how seemingly simple things like movement, reading, time outside, play, connection, and intentional rest can become essential parts of a sustainable life.

For practitioners, the takeaway is especially important: you don't have to destroy your own health to build a successful health and wellness business.

In this episode:

• Why constant forward motion isn't always the same thing as meaningful progress
• How ambition can quietly turn into exhaustion
• Warning signs that "successful" hustle may actually be depletion
• Why entrepreneurs and practitioners have such a difficult time slowing down
• How to become more aware of the physical and emotional signals your body is sending
• Why rest and recovery should not only happen after everything else gets done
• How to identify the activities that genuinely restore you
• The role of movement, mindfulness, play, nature, reading, and connection in sustainable wellbeing
• Why practitioners need to practice some of the same wellness principles they recommend to patients
• How Véronique created the SHINE community around consistent practice, reflection, and connection
• Why the next stage of growth may require becoming more intentional—not simply doing more

Iodine is best known for its relationship to the thyroid, but this conversation goes much further. In this episode of The Holistic Growth Podcast, Dr. Tracey welcomes Phil Coles, co-founder and executive vice president of Good Iodine, and Sharon Cusack, an integrative health coach and inflammation specialist.

Together, they discuss iodine’s role in T3 and T4 thyroid hormones, metabolism, human development, and cellular function. Phil explains the thinking behind Good Iodine’s molecular-iodine formulation and contrasts it with potassium iodide, Lugol’s solution, povidone-iodine, and products marketed as nascent iodine. Sharon shares how she incorporates the product into her practice and the observations that shaped her interest in it.

They also discuss practitioner education, product applications, and why supplement form, dose, and biochemical context matter.

In this episode:

• Why iodine is essential to the production of T3 and T4 thyroid hormones
• Explanation of molecular iodine versus iodide-based products
• Iodine’s relationship to metabolism, energy, pregnancy, and early development
• How Sharon uses Good Iodine within her integrative-health practice
• The product distinctions and research questions practitioners should examine

What can the eyes tell us about the whole person? In this episode of The Holistic Growth Podcast, Dr. Tracey Stroup sits down with traditional naturopath and iridology practitioner Dr. Angel Hill to explore the history, practice, and modern relevance of iridology.

Drawing on experience observing the eyes of more than 7,000 people, Dr. Angel explains how practitioners use the iris as one piece of a broader wellness assessment. They discuss stress lines, digestive patterns, constitutional tendencies, common misconceptions, and why simple, noninvasive observation may deserve a place alongside modern testing.

The conversation also explores the importance of matching observations with symptoms, knowing when medical evaluation is necessary, and helping clients move from overwhelming protocols toward practical next steps and better outcomes.

In this episode:

• What iridology is and where it came from
• How the iris is viewed as a map of constitutional strengths and areas that may need support
• Why stress, digestion, hormones, and other wellness patterns are central to Dr. Angel’s work
• What iridology can and cannot do
• How noninvasive assessment tools may complement a comprehensive naturopathic approach
• Why traditional observation may be making a comeback in integrative care
