The Health Detective Podcast by Functional Diagnostic Nutrition

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!

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.
