Reed Davis, Clinical Nutritionist

Founder, San Diego Natural Health & Fitness Centers
Instructor, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Certification Course
Physician Consultant, BioHealth Diagnostic Laboratories, Inc

The San Diego Natural Health & Fitness Center is an attractive learning and activity center where clients and patients tap into an area of health that concerns them. For people with serious complaints, or just serious about anti-aging and longevity, we recommend a comprehensive health assessment or second opinion.  Others, who may want to lose weight, sleep better or just get out of a funk may attend a lecture, come for a work-out session, or schedule a private consultation with a clinical nutritionist and personal fitness trainer. 

Because many health seekers live outside of our area, clients may work through the mail, email and telephone and still receive all the testing, education and guidance they need to overcome most common health problems.

Whatever complaints one has, we offer the functional testing needed to determine the underlying cause.  Then, the coaching, classes and education along with alternative treatments and therapies that are not often found in conventional western medicine.  Make the call and you'll be glad you found us!

Reed loves teaching and developed a course in Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, a phrase he coined to describe the investigation for underlying causes and conditions related to many common health complaints.  

Reed is also a Certified IFPA Personal Fitness Trainer and Certified Advanced Metabolic Typing Advisor.  He teaches advanced science-based training techniques that assure clients achieve the fastest fat loss and increased heart and lung power without the drudgery of long cardio and weight lifting sessions.

Reed is considered the "Columbo" of health. Like the wily and venerable detective, Reed follows the clues that reveal the underlying causes of his clients' complaints.  By using the latest, cutting edge technology and testing methods he helps people overcome common health complaints and even serious diseases. While Reed does not diagnose or treat medical conditions, helping people correct mal-functions can lead to vibrant health and vitality, even though that person may have been previously diagnosed with a medical condition.

You should always consult with your personal physician before starting any therapeutic protocol including vigorous exercise, changes in diet and nutritional supplementation.

Dr. William R. Bailey, D.O.
Medical Director

Dr. Bailey, an osteopathic physician, is our house genius.  Dr. Bailey practices Complementary and Alternative Medicine and is also a research scientist who worked at the famous Tahoma Clinic with Dr. Jonathan Wright for ten years. He currently specializes in weight loss, skin conditions, immunity problems, baloscopy, prolotherapy, botox and other esoteric and alternative treatments. Dr. Bailey supervises most of the testing, interpretations and protocols at the clinic.  

SDNHFC professionals are independent doctors and health professionals with their own practices. We refer patients and clients when appropriate, for our respective modalities and therapies. Services include Functional Diagnostic Nutrition™, Advanced Metabolic Typing Diet, P.A.C.E.® Fitness Program, alternative and complementary treatment choices, natural modalities and therapies and consultative services.

Typically, patients or clients discuss their main complaints on the phone with our Health Director, then order tests kits through the mail.  Some clients prefer a face to face interview with our Health Director or appropriate doctor or practitioner, however, phone consults are often all that is required.  Consultations and exams are thorough and thoughtful, based on your complaints and our many years clinical experience.  Lab work or other diagnostic work-ups are reviewed during follow up consultations or office visits.

A complete report of findings includes interpretation of exam or lab test findings, x-ray results, etc., allowing us to make evidence based recommendations for therapeutic protocols.  Usually this includes considerable patient education and information.

In many cases, no office visit is required for Functional Diagnostic Nutrition®, Hormone Balancing and Metabolic Typing Diet.  By filling out health history forms and a questionnaire, we can help you select appropriate lab work and expedite testing for you. Results and recommendations are mailed and explained over the phone, saving you the expense and time of office visits.

In office, we offer clinical nutrition, advanced metabolic typing, hormone testing, osteopathic, personal training, C.V.A.C., infra red sauna, emotional freedom technique (EFT), Endermologie cellulite reduction, therapeutic massage and other methods and modalities for optimal health and beauty.  If you are willing to take responsibility for your health and well-being, come and work with us.
