Do you suffer from insomnia or poor sleep?
 
We all know we need to get more sleep, but it isn't always as easy as knowing what we need.
 
Sometimes, and in the case of our guest Chris Kelly, life gives us an open palmed slap to face to let us know exactly WHY we need to get some rest.
 

Science Says Go To Sleep!

 
Chris Kelly is a certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, a graduate of the Kalish Institute and the founder of Nourish Balance Thrive, a science-based, personalized wellness support program.
 
With a degree in computer science and resume at Yahoo and silicon valley, Chris’s love for data is a powerful compliment to his passion for health and functional lab work, helping clients across the globe with a powerful team comprised of doctors and food scientists.  

Rest & Digest

Chris learned firsthand about what it takes to overcome hormonal imbalances and fix his sleep after suffering many nights out on the couch watching tour de france videos.... unable to ever get a good night's rest.
 
This brought him years of stress, poor health, and a myriad of other issues that culminated in him changing his career, getting well, becoming an FDN practitioner, and a professional mountain biker. 
 
A truly inspirational story and message from an inspirational and great human being, Chris Kelly.
