How Entrepreneurs Can Optimize Using Functional Labs w/ Marja Chow

True entrepreneurs have a certain mindset and energy about them that makes them standout from the crowd. It is this same mindset and energy, though, that can lead them to not only eventually burning out, but crashing and burning when they finally do. Our guest today on The Health Detective Podcast, Marja Chow, knows this all too well.

Marja has had the go-getter, entrepreneurial spirit for her entire life, claiming that she "came out of the womb this way." Because of this, she is the FIRST person to encourage you to continue to pursue all your wildest goals and dreams. On the other side of her story, however, her desire to continuously push further led to her experiencing a wide variety of health challenges that became impossible to ignore. 

And what does any good entrepreneur do when they have a problem? They fix it, then make a business out of the solution!

In this interview with Marja, you'll hear a VERY relatable story if you're a Type A individual. Unlike most "experts" that try to dim the light that shines so bright in entrepreneurial folks, Marja wants you to continue to honor that side of your personality while also making sure you're not losing your health in the process. 

We hope you enjoy this episode, and if you'd like to contact FDN or learn more, please go to fdntraining.com/resources for all your Functional Diagnostic Nutrition needs!

EMFs - Do They REALLY Affect Your Health? w/ Nicolas Pineault ("The EMF Guy")

Looking to join us for our famous "5 in 5 Workshop"? Go to fdntraining.com/5in5march2024 to save your spot NOW!

While nnEMFs (non-native electromagnetic frequencies) have been a relevant topic in the world of natural medicine for a LONG time, nowadays, they are being discussed more so than ever before. Outside of the fact that we are rapidly increasing our exposure levels to these frequencies, the people who were formerly considered to be wearers of "tinfoil hats" finally have some solid evidence that these non-native frequencies are NOT as benign as we've been told.

In this episode of The Health Detective Podcast, Nicolas Pineault, AKA The EMF Guy, breakdown exactly what he has found after almost a decade of research into the study of nnEMFs and how they impact humans. Nicolas brings a refreshing take on nnEMFs, as he is not someone who comes across as overly paranoid, but yet he has still made significant changes to his lifestyle that he now helps others adopt, too.

RISING Infertility Rates (And What To Do About It) w/ Allie Parsons, FDNP

Want to join our famous 5 in 5 workshop LIVE and get all your nerdy questions answered by our clinical advisors and mentors? Click here to register (starts March 18th 2024): fdntraining.com/5in5March2024

 

Just a few decades ago, infertility clinics were NOT something that came up in everyday discussions. Nowadays, we hear about infertility (and the MANY emotional struggles that go along with it) on a MUCH more regular basis. With better access to "nutrition", and more advanced medical equipment than we once could've dreamed of, it begs a question... "What gives?"

 

On today’s episode of The Health Detective Podcast, we are interviewing Allie Parsons, FDNP. She specializes in infertility and preconception, and has AMAZING success stories with her clients (even when they've tried things like IVF WITHOUT success).

 

How is possible that expensive medical treatments like IVF can often be outperformed by people like FDN practitioners? Listen to this episode to find out now!
