About the guest

Betty Murray is a PhD-C, Master of Nutrition, Certified Nutritionist, and is a IFM Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner.

​Betty’s interest in nutrition and functional medicine came from her own health struggles. In her early 30s, Betty was diagnosed with colitis.

​She just knew there was more she could do to get to the root of her disease! Betty’s tenacity led to a 20+ year educational journey that included immersion into the world of nutrition, biochemistry, and functional medicine that has become the backbone of her approach to restoring health.

​Betty is now a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner with a Master of Science in Human Nutrition and Biochemistry, a Master of Science in Integrative & Functional Nutrition, and is currently a PhD-Candidate researching the complex interaction of women’s sex hormones and IBS.

​She is also a member of the American Nutrition Association and the Founder and CEO of the Living Well Dallas Functional Medicine Center, a premier integrative multi-specialty functional medicine medical center where she leads a team of Functional Medicine Practitioners, MD's, coaches, nutritionists, counselors, and therapists. She took her passion and vision for helping menopausal women and created a center where medicine, nutrition, counseling, health coaching and other mind-body treatments work together in partnership to not only treat illness, but also help support patients in preventing and reversing disease.

​Betty has helped thousands of women and men reverse chronic symptoms, regain their health and transform their lives.

​She is frequently featured as a sought after speaker and subject-matter expert on National Fox News Broadcasting, CW33, NBC and CBS…

And she is a member of the BoneCoach™ team! I don’t know how she does it all but she does it exceptionally well.
