In this conversation, we discuss the newly released Blood Chemistry Calculator that Chris Kelly developed (he was a software engineer in a past life) in collaboration with Dr. Tommy Wood, Dr. Byran Walsh, and Megan Roberts.
Chris Kelly is the Co-Founder of Nourish Balance Thrive (nbt), an online functional medicine practice that specializes in helping athletes optimize their health and performance.
This is one of the most exciting episodes I’ve done because of the potential this software has to change the way health coaching and functional medicine is done.
