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 make the proper modifications to their lifestyles 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.


In this episode, we explore the world of natural functional medicine. We talk about the significance of water, the intricacies of nutrition macros, and the problematic nature of vegetable oils. The conversation touches on unlocking natural testosterone, the impact of stress, and the distinctions between vegetarian and vegan diets. We explore the future of health, discuss coffee and alcohol's health benefits, delve into intermittent fasting, and shed light on gut health and the mind-gut connection. They wrap up with insights on breathwork and the importance of having the right mindset.
