Episode 11: From Dietician to Rogue Metabolic Healer - Shannon Davis on Reversing Chronic Disease, Real Food, and Muscle for Life

In this powerful episode, Ricky speaks with Shannon Davis - a veteran dietician who walked away from the conventional model to become a "rogue metabolic healer." With over 18 years of clinical experience in bariatrics, nephrology, and organ transplant, Shannon shares her eye-opening journey into the world of metabolic health after personal struggles with infertility and professional disillusionment.

 

They unpack:

• Why chronic diseases are rooted in diet and how most are reversible
• The truth about food quality, nutrient density, and metabolic flexibility
• Why women must lift weights to age strong and avoid sarcopenia
• How metabolic health transforms mental health, energy, and cognition
• Shannon’s daily stack: from creatine to Yerba Mate concentrate
• Real food, home-grown habits, and the collapse of basic life skills
• Why symptom management is not healthcare and what needs to change

Whether you're a health professional, parent, or simply someone seeking to reclaim your vitality, this episode is packed with practical insights and unapologetic truth. Don’t miss it.
