Want to keep track of your health but aren’t sure where to start? Feeling tired, overwhelmed, or just not as healthy as you should be? There are essential tests that will give you and your doctor a good idea of where you stand with your overall health and where you can improve. And even if you are feeling healthy, these tests will let you peek under the hood and ensure everything is running well.

Most of us only get ourselves checked by a doctor when we start to feel symptoms. We get too busy living life to even get a blood test done. Today we talk with a Functional Medicine Practitioner, Board-Certified Clinical Nutritionist, and Owner of Ryan Kennedy LLC., Ryan Kennedy himself. He shares how he helps his clients thru a holistic approach utilizing results-based natural therapies to improve their health.

Ryan is a Functional Medicine Practitioner, Traditional Naturopath, and Board-Certified Clinical Nutritionist who helps people improve their health through lifestyle and dietary changes. He is passionate about educating his patients to modify their lifestyles properly to avoid and reverse obesity/weight gain, depression, fatigue, digestive issues, hormone imbalances, and chronic diseases.

Unlike conventional medicine, Ryan doesn’t address symptoms but rather uses natural approaches to support and enhance your body’s ability to heal. His holistic approach utilizes the best and most appropriate techniques to help you feel and function at your best.

John was also one of the founders of Bamboo/IPIX, which went public on NASDAQ with a market cap of $2.5 Billion.

EPI 72: Why Your Gut Is The Cause Of Most Health Issues & How To Improve Your Gut Health. The Fallacy Of Poop Tests, Advanced Probiotics, And More With Functional Medicine Dr. Joe Mather

If good gut health means having more good bacteria than harmful bacteria, then it makes sense that poor gut health is often caused by an excess of harmful bacteria. While these causes can quickly change the balance of bacteria in your gut, day-to-day habits also impact your gut health.

We're all familiar with the organs and structures that make up the gut. We also are probably familiar with the gut's role in digestion. But not all of us are aware of how our gut impacts our overall health, even when we think we have a “healthy” gut. In this episode, we are joined by a Family Practice physician and the Medical Director of Ruscio Institute for Functional Medicine, Dr. Joe Mather, to talk all about gut health, its issues, and how you can improve yours. He also shares tips on better dieting and the importance of probiotics.

Dr. Mather is a board-certified Family Practice physician and the Medical Director of the Ruscio Institute for Functional Medicine. He graduated from the Tulane University School of Medicine and the Tulane University School of Public Health in 2011 and completed his residency in 2014. He is passionate about delivering cost-effective and practical medical care with a focus on GI health and environmental toxicity. He spends a lot of time working with patients suffering from complex and chronic diseases. You will find him chasing his three small children, exercising, or playing music when he is not working with patients.
