The Health Detective Podcast by Functional Diagnostic Nutrition

We are all built to overcome. Health isn’t something you earn—it’s an innate ability that emerges when the body, mind, and spirit are given the space and support to heal. Even after wrong turns, setbacks, or seasons of struggle, transformation is always possible through right choices, personal responsibility, and a truth-based mindset.

In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the mind–body connection with Dylan Gemelli, a leading voice in fitness and biohacking. Known as “The Wellness Revolutionary,” “The Aging Optimizer,” and “The Mind-Body Connector,” Dylan brings insight across fitness, nutrition, cellular health, neuroscience, and anti-aging. As the creator of the Dylan Gemelli Podcast, he’s on a mission to help people reclaim their health from the inside out.

Together, we explore how faith, mindset, and physiology intersect—and why true health optimization starts with aligning your beliefs, behaviors, and biology.

In this episode, Detective Ev sits down with Alisa, a Doctor of Pharmacy with over 25 years of experience who made the courageous leap from conventional medicine into the world of functional health. After years of dispensing medications to manage symptoms, Alisa began to question the system—and her role in it. What she discovered changed everything.

Alisa opens up about her personal and professional journey, including the stress, burnout, and gut health crisis that led to an emergency room visit in 2023. That wake-up call forced her to prioritize her own health and ultimately guided her toward becoming a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) Practitioner. Today, she’s on a mission to help others understand how deeply lifestyle choices impact the body—and how true healing happens when we address root causes, not just diagnoses.

This conversation explores the powerful shift from a pharmaceutical mindset to a functional, lifestyle-based approach, emphasizing how everything in the body is connected. Alisa breaks down why focusing on DRESS (Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress Reduction, and Supplementation) is foundational for long-term health and why having real data about how your body is functioning can be truly life-changing.
