What is the โChronic Stress Diseaseโ (response) all about?
Chronic Stress Response is how chronic stress, distress, of any kind, leads to loss or balance in the body systemโs (loss of homeostasis) leading to a state of dysfunction, malfunction, DIS-EASE in the body โ or as FDN Practitioner founder Reed Davis sums up as โMETABOLIC CHAOSโ.
โMETABOLIC CHAOSโ, if left unchecked, may lead to a variety of unexplained symptoms downstream or far removed from the root causes. If we only treat the symptoms or the lab test results, (especially when the โideal rangesโ are not our optimal healthy ranges we should strive for anyways!), only exacerbates the real underlying state of dis-ease in the body.

As I focus on following my purpose, passion and mission as an Functional Diagnostic Nutritionยฎ Health Detective- I will follow a logical course of investigation of the WHOLE individual using well chosen functional labs with our Medical Director program guidance to help collect additional clues for our investigation into resolving contributors and causes of an individualโs โMETABOLIC CHAOSโ.
By identifying healing opportunities, we are able to also identify areas of opportunities and collect more clues into our investigation as we continue to see out internal H.I.D.D.E.N. stressors and more underlying malfunctions that are contributing (or a result of) METABOLIC CHAOS!
Each functional lab test will help our investigation into solving the crime of โCHRONIC STRESSโ and the โdiagnosisโ as METABOLIC CHAOS.
We want to stop guessing and start testing to help identify areas of the body that need improvement and help create an individualized plan of attack until the clientโs health, vitality, wellness and happiness is back to their optimal levels. We continue to โcourse correctโ as we re-assess with updated evaluations and lab tests to help decide the test step in the individualโs healing and rebuilding process โ as we get deeper and closer to the mal-functions/dysfunctional systems.
My job as a health detective coach is to look upstream (work North to South), using functional labs to help collect hidden clues of dysfunction, identify healing opportunities to help us work together to repair, rebuild, and restore function -to bring back balance or homeostasis in all of the bodyโs systems while we depend on the bodyโs own innate intelligence to reboot and recalibrate as it is designed to do naturally!
As a health detective and coach, I will provide suggestions to my clients to implement wellness behaviors and therapies to help reboot their vital reserve/strategic reserve/metabolic reserve โ at the same time we together to diminish the hidden internal stressors that are contributing to the clientโs metabolic chaosยฎ. The goal of the program, or new health re-building journey, is to lead clients back to a state of optimal health and vitality โ as their symptoms disappear naturally with the right protocol.

โChronic Stress Responseโ as explained by the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner program involves a domino effect of malfunctions –
- Distress of any kind leads to loss of homeostasis, dysfunction, dis-ease, Metabolic Chaosยฎ
- Weakened state of health and left unchecked leads to symptoms downstream
- Treating symptoms only leads to worsening of the underlying dis-ease state
