Holistic Wellness with Special Guest Dr. Bodie | The Society Standard Episode 5

What does your labs are normal actually mean? I feel like we get so many clients who they'll bring their labs to me.

They'll say that the doctor says there's nothing wrong with them.

And they feel terrible.

They're tired all the time.

They're infertile.

So what does that actually mean to you?

Well, number one, I think the labs that most health practitioners are looking at are not the labs that I'm looking at.

I'm looking at from a functional.

So when someone's looking at labs, sometimes they're looking at for it to be the worst.

And that's when they will come in and they will help you.

They need you to be down and out, not working, not functioning.

I want to catch it before it gets there.

So my lab numbers are going to be different than some other health practitioners.

And again, yes, I love labs.

They give me information to make a better plan.

However, it doesn't really change the plan when I'm looking at root cause.

It usually is just going to

verify everything that I found and visit.

Okay, so I want you to like heavily nerd out with us for a second.

Why is it that you can have two people, they are both eating that same like standard American diet, they're taking like the trendy supplements, and one of them feels awful, and one of them feels okay.

I think two major components that I see, number one is stress, your body's ability to handle stress, how you process emotions, how you emote, how you don't emote and you suppress.

I think that has a major factor in your body's ability to heal and lose weight.

Mm-hmm.

Um, drainage pathways, I think would be my second one.

We're never forcing the body and holistic health to do something that it doesn't already do.
