Reed Davis was discovered by Debbie on another podcast that she listens to. She heard him frequently talk about Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) practitioner work. Reed founded FDN, and Debbie is soon starting her certification to become an FDN practitioner as well.

We learn about Reed’s D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success program. He talks about the objective data that he helps people obtain about their health and explains why he takes a different approach than conventional doctors do.

With so many supplements on the market today, Reed tells us his process of how to determine which ones a person should take. He then describes what the experience of going through his program is like and how it can help.

Debbie welcomes her peer and mentor Ben Greenfield to this episode. He is the founder of Kion, which provides solutions to people who want to live life to the fullest. We learn about why Ben decided to start Kion and what it is all about.

Ben discusses the specific inspiration behind and Kion and takes us through the process of getting the brand up and running. Debbie graduated from the first class of Kion U, a 28-week class guided by Ben that systematically teaches how to optimize a human being.

One thing that was missing in coaching programs before Kion was that they would optimize bodies but not brains. Ben explains why this is an important aspect and talks about notable metrics that allow for a unique coaching experience that is focused on the unique individual.

Dr. Sachin Patel, founder of The Living Proof Institute, joins the podcast today. The Living Proof Institute started as a functional medicine clinic and as it has evolved, Dr. Patel has realized that health has so much to do with what people think.

Debbie asks Dr. Patel to reveal the top areas he works with people on to improve their performance, and he explains that the one that brings the most success is having a “why.” Dr. Patel then discusses the link that emotions have on fatal diseases and the cultural shift that he thinks needs to happen.

We learn about a common mistake that many people make while eating that reduces the amount of nutrition that gets absorbed. Later, Dr. Patel speaks to his passion in doing what he does and his goal to deliver the best version of himself to his patients.
