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.   Connect with Ryan: Website: https://ryankennedyhealth.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/ryanckennedy/   Listen to his podcast: https://ryankennedyhealth.com/podcast/   Show notes: [1:58] Where does he start when he works with clients?
