You’ve Been Sold This Dream Before

What You Learn

Proper Client Intake

You know as well as we do that you can’t get results if your client doesn’t follow through with their protocol. So, how can you improve client outcomes? You create protocols with the unique person in mind.
We teach you how to conduct an in-depth investigation of your client’s habits, lifestyle, and health history, so you can provide realistic recommendations that work for the individual.

Functional Lab Analysis

Functional Lab Analysis is the game-changer you need to skyrocket your health coaching business –– plain & simple.
Go from “guesswork” to “data-driven functional practitioner” that gets results, with training on (5) Foundational Functional Labs + (1) Assessment Tool. Plus, learn when to use each with your clients.
  • Stress and Hormones Profile
  • Metabolic Wellness Profile
  • Mucosal Barrier Assessment
  • G-I Map™ Stool Test
  • MRT Food Sensitivity Test
  • Metabolic Typing® Assessment

Rinse & Repeat Framework

Unlike other health certifications, FDN goes way beyond holistic health “best practices” and teaches you to create highly-personalized guidance.
After you’ve taken a deep dive with your client & interpreted the results, you’re ready to create a custom protocol using our proven framework, which incorporates diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction & targeted supplementation.

Data-Driven Protocols

The FDN methodology teaches you how to create holistic diet & lifestyle protocols based on each individual’s unique lab results. Because what might help one person could actually do more harm to another.
You’ll learn how to think like a Health Detective and discover exactly what each individual body needs to heal. That’s how you become known as the health coach who gets real results.

Kristen Thomas

Founder, Health & Wellness Business SchoolFDN Practitioner

“I had already completed the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) health coach certification, but...”

As a client working with an FDN practitioner, I saw how quickly the approach helped me get to the root of my health issues despite doctors saying there was nothing wrong. Having seen the radical transformation in my own health, I knew I had to become certified. I had already completed the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) health coach certification, but it was clear to me that FDN had another layer of knowledge that would benefit my clients.”

Here’s How FDN Is DIFFERENT

Our guess is that you’ve learned valuable education + skills inside every certification you’ve done before. After all, there are a lot of highly respected options out there!
But none of them provide the same advanced + comprehensive training as FDN.
To give you a clear picture of what we mean…
We’ve put on our lab coats and pulled together the data!

Don’t Let Fear Stand In Your Way

Let’s crush the doubt.

“I don’t feel confident WORKING WITH CLIENTS.”

“I don’t feel confident WIf you’re struggling to get clients after completing your last health certification, it’s not your fault! Chances are, you weren’t trained how to get clients. And it’s likely you have an underlying fear that if you DID get that client, you wouldn’t be able to help them experience the transformation they want…It’s not that you didn’t gain valuable knowledge about how diet & lifestyle changes can help people improve health. But you’re missing key pieces to the puzzle.
FDN takes your education one step further by teaching you how to customize these holistic practices for each person, so you can solve specific health problems for ANY client case and feel confident you can help everyone.

“I don’t feel comfortable CHARGING MORE MONEY.”

If you’re afraid you lack the skills to help people in a big way, you likely don’t value your services highly. And since we know you’re a good person who entered this field because they want to help people… it makes sense why you don’t feel comfortable charging top-dollar!
But having lower-ticket, lower-value services doesn’t help anyone. That’s why FDN sets you up to grow an impact-driven, 6-figure health coaching business that supports you *and* your client, with better pricing and the results to match!

“I don’t feel sure I can LEAVE MY OTHER JOB.”

Even though you have your health coach certification, and you definitely feel like you know your stuff when it comes to making healthy changes…all this uncertainty around being able to help your clients and charge a livable income has you feeling stuck.
FDN is your chance to fill in what’s missing from your health coach education by mastering the health & business skills you need to become a successful entrepreneur with a booming online health coaching practice.
NOW is the time to equip yourself with tools to smash your uncertainty, and start making a real impact in people’s lives with a wildly successful health coaching practice.
