Welcome to Protecting Your Nest with Dr. Tony Hampton. Reed Davis, Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP) and Certified Nutritional Therapist (CNT), is an expert in functional lab testing and holistic lifestyle medicine. Over 20 years ago, Reed Davis recognized people were caught in a "cycle of trial and error" and he committed to being the last person they needed to see.

Using all-natural, drug-free protocols, Reed made observations about who got better and who didn't, codifying which "general principles of health building" would outperform "specific treatments" being provided by standard and even alternative medicine. And through this work, he then developed the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Certification Course and D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success Protocol® to educate and empower as many people as possible about how to get well and stay well naturally, so they, in turn, may empower others to do the same.
