Reclaim Your Agency, Balance & Energy

You are not alone.

Frustrated with dead ends?

Trial and error is exhausting and wastes time and money. Maybe you identify. It could be countless practitioners who target a specific focal-point or whim – only to address part of the issue. Or it could be our own health research – maybe we’ve tried everything mentioned by various Social Media influencers and shake our heads at the supplement graveyard in our kitchen cabinet. The struggle is real.

The many root causes

Tuning one string on a guitar does not make it vibrate as it should. Many strings need to be checked and tweaked before it sings harmoniously. The body is a complex organism and when the many systems become dysregulated, we observe a confounding state we call Metabolic Chaos®. It’s very common for the truth to be that many root causes may exist that have yet to be uncovered, not just one.

Testing instead of Guessing

If anyone just took your health complaints, ordered a single lab test and made recommendations, they would be doing you a disservice. Many manifestations of illness share the same complaints so we can’t rely on them. FDN is a system we follow to uncover as many foundational root causes as possible, otherwise known as HIDDEN stressors. We facilitate the procurement of evidence based Functional Lab Work to bring visibility to areas of: Hormonal Balance, Immune System, Digestive Function, Detoxification, Energy Production, Nervous System Balance and Oxidative Stress.

I bring my own wisdom and compassion from my personal health journey to the table.

Evidence Based Functional Lab Testing

My clients obtain cost effective, cutting edge, evidence based Functional Lab Work for use in our educational coaching sessions. The testing that Medical Doctors typical run is different in that they are looking to find a single cause and make a diagnosis that can be coded for Insurance. It can be effective in some cases, but if you’re here, chances are that the reductionist approach “standard of care” failed to acknowledge the many HIDDEN stressors which produced a perfect storm of imbalances. As FDN Practitioners, we do not diagnose or treat specific illnesses or conditions. Our holistic approach allows us to be more objective in our Guidance Sessions and puts the power in the hands of the client to reclaim their own health. All clients obtain at least 5 foundational tests to provide a broad spectrum of transparency into function which lights the path towards optimal wellness.
