What is an FDN Practitioner?
We are a type of “health detectives” with the goal to help clients on a deeper level and to guide them on a new health and transformational journey to finally get long lasting real sustainable results to feel better, look better and move better on the inside and out!
We incorporate functional lab testing with data-driven protocols, educational tools, wellness and lifestyle improvements to help each unique individual client solve their unexplained health concerns for good! We help put the missing pieces of the puzzle together with an investigative three-step process to collect clues and form an impression with all of the information to reveal imbalances, repair the body systems and rebuild the WHOLE individual back to optimal health and wellness!
FDN stands for Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner.
“Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) is a methodology used to recover and maintain the best health possible. We investigate underlying causes of unwanted conditions including lifestyle, the environment and individual weak links in metabolism.”
The FDN Practitioner is a Health Detective you hire to help investigate and resolve your individual case of “METABOLIC CHAOS”! We work together to collect clues and put the pieces of the puzzle together to help you restore your health and vitality from the inside out by optimizing the function of every cell, tissue, organ and body system.
We do NOT diagnose or treat anything specific.
Instead we use general health building strategies that will outperform any specific treatment.
The FDN Practitioner investigation process involves only offering one “diagnosis” …
METABOLIC CHAOS!
You are probably wondering “what is METABOLIC CHAOS?”
“Metabolic chaos® is a state of health that exists because of complexities in one’s metabolism and underestimated influences from the environment; so correlation between the symptoms and cause is unpredictable. One clue of metabolic chaos® is when intervention, based on a traditionally reliable cluster of symptoms, produces only a marginal therapeutic response. Metabolic chaos® is responsible for symptoms that would otherwise be ascribed to other causes. Contributors to metabolic chaos® can be inborn, but they can also come from hidden stressors in the world today.” https://www.functionaldiagnosticnutrition.com/
Your symptoms don’t always matter…and the root cause of your symptoms may be undetectable as they could be very far removed from what you may predict or measure as the cause.
What matters is that we can create a POSITIVE effect upon every cell, tissue, organ, and body system by taking the right steps for your unique, bio-individual needs, genetics and lifestyle using the “D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success” protocol.
Whatever your chronic health complaints and concerns may be… we will use our unique FDN Practitioner investigation process to help identify the healing opportunities by correlating your health history, METABOLIC CHAOS score card, Nutritional Therapy Assessment, DNAFit report with your results of the well-chosen functional lab tests.
We don’t treat the lab results, as they are not the problem, but instead provide clues or give us insights to form your impression into your areas of opportunities, dysfunction, imbalances, vital voids or METAOBLIC CHAOS. The functional lab tests, not one test but five lab test results combined together for our clinical correlation, will reveal pathways to restore order in your own body and reboot your body’s own innate intelligence to get back into balance or homeostasis so your health and vitality return to your optimal levels.
The end result leaves you feeling your best each day- feeling alive and thriving in life the fullest! Stop blaming the aging process for your unexplained symptoms and accepting your “METABOLIC CHAOS” as your new normal.
The struggle is real… and it doesn’t have to be your new “normal”. It is not about getting older- the aging process. We can work together to reveal your hidden malfunctions, repair your body systems back to optimal levels and restore your vitality so you can thrive in daily life again!
What is my story?
Life is Not a Race… It is a Journey with The WHOLESTIC Method.
Learn more about my journey and personal story about my “adrenal exhaustion” starting in March 2013 that changed my life and gave me a sense of purpose to help others avoid going through what happened to me from living life as a race for too many years! Now I am following my passion and creating my mission to help others similar to myself from “METABOLIC CHAOS”!
As a certified FDN Practitioner and a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I am focusing on following my passion, purpose and mission: to share my knowledge, training, and experience with you to help restore your health and vitality back to optimal levels- and avoid going through what I had happen to me starting back in 2013 (read all about my personal story in my book “LIFE IS NOT A RACE… IT IS A JOURNEY on Amazon).
As a type of “health detective”, I can help you solve the mystery of your unexplained health complaints and symptoms. The FDN Practitioner process in guiding you to heal and rebuild the WHOLE you from the inside out with our comprehensive intake forms, the trademarked “D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success” protocol, functional diagnostic tests, and by all-natural, drug-free health rebuilding techniques.
“There is a health crisis that is happening throughout the world today. Chronic illness is occurring in a rapidly growing number of people, with no end in sight. More and more people are experiencing symptoms that are having an impact on their quality of life. Modern medicine is focused on treating the symptoms instead of correcting the underlying imbalances that are causing these symptoms in the first place. People keep getting sicker, instead of getting well. The healthcare of today isn’t working.” -FDN founder Reed Davis
As a result of the “one size all approach” and treating symptoms by putting a “band-aid” on the problem –more people are turning to alternative health professionals as myself, FDN Practitioner health coaches and Nutritional Therapy Practitioners, with the intention and goal to finally experience relief and feel their “normal” again!
Still, as I personally experienced for many years, and shared in my book LIFE IS NOT A RACE, many traditional health coach training still falls short! This is why I became an FDN-Practitioner, as other doctors, practitioner and naturopaths were just treating my symptoms with functional labs.
Supplements are not the only solution… we need to work on the WHOLE individual to get the results we are searching for each day. We, the client, needs to be ready to commit to new lifestyle habits, motivated to follow their “D.R.E.S.S for Health Success” protocol – and serious about restoring their health back to balance/homeostasis.
As an FDN-Practitioner health coach mastering the investigation into your unique, individual case of “Metabolic Chaos®”, we will learn work together to how several of the chronic-stress related dysfunctions that lead or are a result of what FDN founder, Reed Davis has dubbed, Metabolic Chaos®.
In the coaching process and new journey, you will gain awareness to your specific hidden internal stressors contributing to your body system malfunctions or dysfunctions. You will learn how you can opt-in to self-treat to resolve your contributors to your imbalances and rebuild vital reserves.
Some of the hidden causes of Metabolic Chaos® that will be assessed include:
- HPA Axis/Adrenal-related dysfunction
- Circadian rhythm disruptions
- Poor nutrient breakdown and absorption
- Pro-oxidant/antioxidant imbalances
- Dysbiosis and gut malfunction
- Systemic inflammation
- Immunodeficiency
- Detoxification problems
In our investigation into your case of Metabolic Chaos® – we will work together to identify your unique underlying conditions such as the ones above.
The FDN approach to solve Metabolic Chaos® will take you to a whole new level of optimizing your health from a cellular level to burn fat, optimize your mitochondria function and improve performance in daily life. Your motivation level and commitment to following your own specific FDN “D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success” protocol will be the key to your success. This is a trademarked process that uses diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction and supplements to “coach up” vital reserve in your clients and “coach down” metabolic chaos.
We use a Three Step process to resolving your “METABOLIC CHAOS”
- Step One: We assess your underlying conditions and contributors to your own unique case of “METABOLIC CHAOS”. Our FDN investigation includes assessing your history, Nutritional Therapy Questionnaire, MC Stress score card assessment and well-chosen functional lab testing.
- Step Two: We customize your own “D.R.E.S.S. For Health Success” Program– a lab guided and individualized “The WHOLESTIC Method” behavior protocols. Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress and Supplements = D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success.
- Step Three: We run the FDN Health Coaching Process. We coach up your body functions/systems, while we coach down your contributors to your “METABOLIC CHAOS”. We correct course as needed as you continue your journey in restoring, healing and rebuilding the WHOLE you- until you reach your optimal self and your ‘casual factors” are resolved!
Everything you will do to self-treat the WHOLE you… and resolve your METABOLIC CHAOS- should improve the function of every cell, tissue, organ and body system! Self-treat- you have to do the work with my support and encourage. Where do you need to go next to best version of myself?
Accountability, Commitment and Motivation is key to your success as we need to coach up function- as we depend on the innate intelligence of your body, but YOU need to guide the body back to optimal balance with the provided D.R.E.S.S. protocol. You will not heal and rebuild the WHOLE you if you only do the “S” for supplements… your need to also follow the D.R.E.S. part of the program!
Coach down contributors to METABOLIC CHAOS…external and internal sources of chronic stress!
The functional lab test results are NOT the problem. Instead the lab results provide clues or insights into our “problems”, areas of opportunity or that need attention, as the labs reveal a unique pathway for you to restore optimal health levels and vitality
