Lab testing is a really powerful tool that we can use to help identify hidden roadblocks and healing opportunities. But most standard lab tests are not comprehensive and they won't necessarily shed light on why you're struggling. So I wanted to bring on an expert to explain the difference between functional and standard labs and why functional labs can be so effective in helping you achieve your health goals and live your best life.

My guest today is Reed Davis, Founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition and the FDN certification course, which has over 4,000 graduates in 50 countries. Reed is known as one of the most experienced clinicians in his field, and he's a wealth of information when it comes to lab testing and how we can use that data to stop struggling and start feeling our best.

This week on The Nutrition Edit Podcast is part 2 of What To Do When Nothing's Working.

Mira sheds light on this controversial ingredient and the detrimental effects it can have on our microbiome and metabolism.

Today I’m talking with Dr. Emily Passic about semaglutide, also know as Ozempic of Wegovy. I had a ton of questions and concerns about it and I’m sure you do too, so I wanted to bring on an expert who really understands how this drug should and shouldn’t be used, who it is and is not for, and can answer all our burning questions.
