BREAK THE ENDLESS CYCLE OF METABOLIC CHAOS®

Have you ever wondered why some people get better while others can’t seem to break the cycle no matter who they go to or what they take? Maybe even yourself included? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Helping people who just can’t seem to get better is what separates the good health practitioners and coaches from the great ones – that’s the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® difference.

FDN’s are true health detectives that focus on identifying the underlying cause of Metabolic Chaos® and correcting it. We utilize functional lab tests to help identify which systems of the body are failing, leading to Metabolic Chaos@ and imbalance. Then we use the lab data and assessments to drive more specific holistic lifestyle changes and recommendations geared towards establishing homeostasis (balance) in the body. The FDN Certification Course focuses on functional lab tests (blood, saliva, urine, hair and stool testing); how to interpret the results and lab-guided natural protocols that will fix the problem, build health and ultimately stop the cycle of Metabolic Chaos®.

STOP CHASING SYMPTOMS AND GET REAL LONG-TERM RESULTS

Along with the functional lab work and trademarked health-building protocol training, you’ll learn to fix yourself so you can help fix others too. As part of the course, you’ll run lab tests on yourself, receive your own personalized consultation and FDN D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success® protocol. The FDN Mentoring portion of the program will help guide you on your own health journey and give you the practical application to grow your confidence so you can easily duplicate the process with your own clients.

After taking the FDN course, you’ll know how to create change for yourself and for your clients. The insights you’ll receive about your own health alone worth the price of admission – the tools to help you start your own business are the icing on the cake. FDN is science and evidence-based, providing people who want to get into health coaching the foundation they need to get started, and giving licensed and non-licensed health practitioners a leg up on any other health-building system – meaning you can take any system you are currently using, add the FDN methodology and you will arrive at a whole new level. Your ability to help people will be multiplied several times over. Applying FDN will help you get REAL RESULTS for you and your clients, that will last a lifetime.
