If you’re burned out on diets, confused by your symptoms, and tired of being told “everything looks normal,” this show is for you.
Hosted by functional nutritionists Andrew Hayes and Kat Best, we cover the health issues most people struggle with but rarely talk about. Gut problems. Hormone chaos. Fatigue. Cravings. Mood swings. The difference between sustainable fat loss and trendy weight loss. Irregular poops. (Yes, we said it.)
Each week, we give you the tools to actually feel better — without crash diets, supplements you don’t need, or 4AM workouts.
No shame. No perfection. Just more clarity, not more effort.
Because real health shouldn’t feel like a second job. It should fit your life.
Tune in for science-backed strategies, client stories, and honest conversations that make healing feel doable — and even kind of fun.
Subscribe now and say goodbye to guessing on your health.

Functional Health: The Path to Feeling Like Yourself Again - Why Isn’t It Mainstream? l 42
Perhaps you’ve heard “everything looks fine," but you still don't feel like yourself.
Or maybe you want to be more proactive and not only see your provider when you're sick or in need of medication.
In this episode, we break down why functional medicine - an approach designed to get to the root of your symptoms - isn’t mainstream.
From insurance models that reward quick visits, to pharma-funded research, to the branding problem that makes “functional” sound woo-woo, we unpack the real reasons you may have never even heard about it. And most importantly, how to take charge of your own health today.
(04:26) How insurance keeps doctors from digging deeper
(08:24) Why functional medicine can’t compete with pharma’s marketing machine
(16:46) The hard truth about behavior change and why it scares people away
(33:30) Who conventional medicine often overlooks and why it matters
