The Health Detective Podcast by Functional Diagnostic Nutrition

FDN's Unique Approach to Labs w/ Lucy McKellar and Detective Ev

JOIN US FOR THE 5 LABS IN 5 DAYS WORKSHOP :):

http://fdntraining.com/5in5March2024

When FDN's founder, Reed Davis, originally created the FDN methodology, it stood out as a completely unique way of thinking about health. The idea that unlicensed practitioners/coaches could utilize labs was something almost unheard of. 

Nowadays, it is MUCH more common to see courses that look similar (keyword is LOOK) to what FDN has been teaching. in fact, a new course teaching functional labs seems to pop up every other month! 

With so much noise in the functional medicine space nowadays, one of the most common questions we get is, "How is FDN different than 'xyz' program that also teaches functional labs?" 

In this episode of the Health Detective Podcast, we are covering exactly that. Lucy McKellar, FDNP, and Detective Ev are discussing the differences between western medicine, natural medicine, functional medicine, and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition. After listening, it will be clear who does what, and you should easily be able to decide which philosophy most resonates with you and what you're wanting to learn in the future.

If you have any questions or need any clarity, please direct message us on one of our social platforms. Everything you'd ever need to know about FDN can be found here: fdntraining.com/resources.

This RN Says "Don't Settle For A Diagnosis." w/ Kristy Roderick, RN, FDNP

If you've listened to The Health Detective Podcast before, you already know that Evan Transue (AKA, Detective Ev), believes you should NEVER settle for the diagnosis you may have been given by western medicine. With that said, it's one thing to hear it from him, but it's a much different experience to hear it straight from the mouth of an actual registered nurse who went through her own set of health challenges.

Our guest today, Kristy Roderick, was on the show before with her three best nurse friends and biz partners. This time, she's joining us solo to share her personal journey dealing with mystery symptoms, incorrect diagnoses, and undergoing the stressful journey of challenging everything she was taught by conventional medicine in order to save her health.

This is one you'll definitely want to check out, or even send to your loved ones in the western medicine space. Kristy has an excellent and objective way of discussing both the pros and cons of western and functional medicine. 

As always, if you have any questions, please reach out to us @fdntraining on Instagram.

Wired But Tired: How To Finally Beat Insomnia w/ Annika Carroll, FDNP

Considering sleep is one of THE MOST important things us humans need to do on a daily basis, one would think this is something that should come fairly easily. However, as all of us know too well, we are seeing rates of insomnia and sleep issues skyrocket in today's modern world. Now, instead of our natural rhythms guiding us gently to sleep at night, we find ourselves "wired and tired", constantly struggling to get and stay asleep.

 

Our guest today, Annika Carroll, took over Sleep Like A Boss after struggling with her own bout of health issues, insomnia, and burnout. She's not made it her mission to help fellow high-achievers get the well-deserved rest they need so that they can get back to kickin' butt in their everyday jobs and tasks.

Two-Time Cancer Survivor and Advocate for Natural Wellness w/ Tina Weiss, RN, FDNP

On this episode of The Health Detective Podcast, we are interviewing Tina Weiss, RN, FDNP. You would NEVER know everything she has been through due to her incredible attitude, but the reality is, this woman has been through more health issues than most will experience in a lifetime. 

 

At just 47 years old, she has already beat cancer TWICE, and has had her spleen and thyroid removed. Despite all of this, she is now feeling the BEST she ever has, and the only medicine she requires is synthetic thyroid hormone (this is required for anyone who has undergone a full thyroidectomy).

 

In addition to being a registered nurse, Tina and three of her best friends (who are all nurses as well) decided to become FDN practitioners together. The four of them now run a business where they use all of their minds together on each case, ensuring that every client gets the best care possible.
