What is FDN?
Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) provides a framework and logical, step by step method of restoring and maintaining health. FDN Practitioners use functional lab testing to identify malfunctions in the body instead of just treating the symptoms. We avoid diagnosing and treating specific disease and simply “build health” instead. This natural approach allows us to help just about anybody with a chronic stress-related health condition. We’re doing a world of good! Our view of symptoms like headaches, sleeplessness, fatigue, sinuses and allergies, joint and muscle pain, bad skin, gastric bloating and every other health complaint, is that they all have causal factors to be investigated and resolved at the functional level. Even in tough cases, opportunities for repair, restoration, rebuilding and healing can be abundant and, in our mind, the opportunities to employ FDN methods are equally apparent. |
FDN is a type of detective work that seeks to identify and correct the underlying causes and conditions that lead to the patients’ health complaints. In that sense, FDN is not diagnosing or treating any disease nor practicing medicine.
FDN methods give licensed and non-licensed providers a leg up on other health systems you may have tried. We call our methods an “Opt-in Self-Care Model” vs the “Disease Care Model” used by modern medicine. Both are important, but different in many respects.
We feel very confident that we can help 100% of the people that we accept as clients in their pursuit of health and healing opportunities. While there are no guarantees (because we do not control outcomes) we very reasonably expect that our clients will make improvements and, indeed, they often completely resolve their health complaints.
Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® laboratory assessments may be required in order to identify malfunctions and new healing opportunities within the hormone, immune, digestion, detoxification, and intestinal mucosal barrier systems – the main pillars of health. Malfunctions are an underlying cause for many of today’s health issues and common health complaints. Each test reveals additional ways to initiate the healing process and assist in health restoration.

The functional lab assessments investigate the terrain or inner environment of the body. The body has remarkable adaptive reserve in confronting mild stresses of everyday life, but malfunctions and terrain damage occurs when the body's self-regulatory abilities are overwhelmed by increasing stressors from such things as antibiotics, environmental toxins, nutrient deficiencies, vaccinations, as well as emotional and traumatic experiences.
Terrain damage often manifests as symptoms, such as hormonal imbalances, fatigue, low energy, reduced digestive and immune function and are viewed as communication between the body and the environment. The goal for treatment is not to suppress this 'communication', but to open up communication and address the underlying imbalances. One of the primary benefits of the functional lab assessments is the ability to address subtle imbalances before severe damage sets in, bringing the body back into homeostasis.
