Speaks to how the process of FDN reduces metabolic chaos regardless of the client’s “diagnosis”. 47:30 – Question: I have a client with a total cortisol of 9.5 for the whole day. I mentioned that he might want to get tested for Addison’s since that was what the FDN program suggests. He doesn’t seem to have the other typical symptoms of Addison’s other than the low cortisol. Reed shares that he has seen Addison’s maybe twice in the last 15 years – it is very rare. 54:30 – Question from caller. How does the cyclical drop of progesterone before menses set off the inflammatory cascade that triggers migraines. Reed: Does it matter?
