Today on the root cause medicine podcast. What is the best diet? There are many considerations when

you ask that question. One is just personal preference, of course, and that's going to vary from

person to person. Another is environmental impact. There are moral and ethical questions that people

have about how they eat. But really, if we're looking at it from a health perspective,

at the most basic level, we have to start with the question, well, okay, will this diet meet our

nutrient needs? Hello, hello. I'm your host, Dr. Carrie Jones. And today, I'm talking with

the Chris Cressor, all about nutrient deficiencies and feeding your body right.

Chris is a world-renowned expert, clinician, and practitioner of integrative and functional medicine.

He is the creator of one of the world's most respected natural health sites, chrisker.com,

and a New York Times best-selling author. He's on a mission for people

to really understand the importance of nutrient deficiencies, as they are often overlooked

and misunderstood. Before we get started, though, I want to talk to you about something that

comes up pretty often on this podcast, and that,

of course, is lab testing.

You see, testing is one essential way to understand the root cause of an illness.

If you are an integrative or functional medicine practitioner, chances are you're placing

a ton of orders with a ton of different labs.
