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®.
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.
-Reed Davis, the founder of FDN Practitioner program
As I have been trained as an FDN Practitioner health detective- using functional lab testing to uncover the metabolic chaos® that is occurring inside of you! We work on transforming, healing and rebuilding the WHOLE you with a combination of “The WHOLESTIC Method” lifestyle habits, Nutritional Therapy Assessment and FDN Investigative process. Instead of relying on “trial and error”, now you can finally collect solid clues to solve your unexplained symptoms and health mysteries.
In our coaching journey process, you will gain awareness to your very own specific hidden internal stressors contributing to your body system malfunctions or dysfunctions. You will learn how you need to be the one to 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.
- 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 and resolve your METABOLIC CHAOS- should improve the function of every cell, tissue, organ and body system!

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
