Isn't it CRAZY that infertility rates and childhood disease rates are so high? Think about it... From a purely biological perspective, making a baby is one of the most natural things that two people could come together to do (it's how YOU got here and are able to now read this, after all).
While this is (understandably) a very emotional topic for many people out there attempting to start families, the good news is there IS hope. Our guest today, Leah Blondin, helps support people having healthy babies all the time!
Leah is a former trial & error queen turned strategic health detective. She focuses on working with busy work from home women & mom’s-to-be who want to best support their future babies & have optimal pregnancies and fantastic postpartum experiences. She was told her gut problems, anxiety & depression were “all in her head” until she became an FDN-P in 2017 & was finally able to get the bio-individual answers she needed to heal & stay well long term. She is passionate about smart, strategic supplementation & knowing exactly what you need & WHY you need it based off data and the scientific method. Leah is married with two children ages 2 & 5- both of whom were born at home & have thrived health-wise because of the knowledge from her FDN- P training.
We hope that then information Leah provides inspires you to take positive action towards having a healthy baby if that's a path you're pursuing. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to her using one one of the links below. If you have questions for us, DM us on Instagram @fdntraining.

One of our favorite parts of bringing The Health Detective Podcast to our listeners and viewers is that we get to highlight guests who deal with conditions that many of us would otherwise never hear about. Today's guest on the show, Michael Caprio, deals with a genetic condition that you very likely haven't heard of.
At just eighteen years old, author Michael Caprio was diagnosed with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis, a rare genetic form of colorectal cancer that accounts for only 0.5 percent of all colorectal cancer cases in the United States. After enduring two life-saving operations, Michael has since made a full recovery and has become an author, advocate, leader, change-maker, and podcast guest in the spaces of mental health and colorectal cancer.
Although this story is bit different than the ones we would typically bring on the show, we think it is important to not only give a spotlight for those dealing with conditions such as FAP in silence, but for the listeners and viewers to find inspiration in the incredible resiliency and determination that people like Michael display.
We hope you enjoy this episode, and if you have an questions, you can always reach out to us directly @fdntraining on Instagram.

There are MANY amazing brands out there nowadays that bring us supplements/products with one of nature's superfoods - organ meats. However, for our USA-based listeners (and, frankly, for MOST of our listeners), these organ meats are NOT coming from the country where the products are sold. This is not inherently bad per se, but wouldn't it be even better if we could source these superfoods right from our own backyard?
Today's guest on the Health Detective Podcast, Nigel O'Quinn, is a certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and founder of Higher Healths. Through Higher Healths, he is solving this sourcing problem for Americans and Canadians as we speak.
His company is currently the ONLY ONE OUT THERE which specifically sources organ meats based on the country that the consumer lives in, and he is currently serving both American and Canadian consumers.
In addition to hearing about his company, on this episode, you'll hear about Nigel's personal health story, learn about the benefits of eating "nose to tail", and discover easy ways to make connections with local farmers to get the best food possible for you and your family.
As always, if you have any questions, please reach out to us @fdntraining.com
About Nigel:
Nigel O’Quinn is a lifetime health and fitness enthusiast, wanting to understand what makes a human operate and thrive is what started his nutrition journey, albeit in the worst direction at first within the College education programs. This led to his deterioration of good health which forced him to look outside of the food pyramid for a proper nutrition education. Nigel is now focused on connecting people to real food by getting nutrient dense organ meats back into the diet that had been left out. Higher Healths now operates in both the USA and in Canada working with regenerative farmers that have grass fed and grass finished programs for optimal care of land, animal, and health.

Are you a Type A, go-getter woman who is constantly on the verge of burnout? Crushing your corporate job, but also crushing your health at the same time? Our guest today on The Health Detective Podcast, Claudine Francois, knows these feelings all too well.
She knows these feelings so well, in fact, that she was forced to change her life plans completely (and thankfully, for the better) to get her health back. Better yet, she used her career-focused, driven personality to create a successful health coaching business where she now helps other busy, driven women get out of the cycle of chronic illness/disease.
Since we know our audience well, we can say with confidence that Claudine is SO RELATEABLE to so many of our listeners. We hope Claudine's story not only helps inspire you to take control of your health if you've been suffering, but also to create a career for yourself that you love.
About Claudine:
Claudine Francois, a Board-Certified Functional Medicine & Holistic Health Practitioner, is a trailblazer in guiding high-achieving women to transcend burnout and embrace vibrant living.
As a former CFO of a multinational company, Claudine intimately understands the toll of stress and its effects on health. Her transformative journey through functional medicine and lifestyle shifts led her to become a dedicated advocate for women's well-being.
Claudine's expertise lies in uncovering the root causes of chronic issues that often elude traditional medicine. Through sophisticated functional lab tests and a holistic approach, she crafts personalized protocols that empower her clients to reclaim energy, clarity, and vitality.

One of the top questions we are frequently asked here at Functional Diagnostic Nutrition on a near-daily basis is, 'What types of people/professionals go through your course?' The reality is, ANYONE can go through the FDN program as long as they have the desire to learn and study, as well as the willingness to help others and walk the walk. As expected, we have all types of people with every educational background imaginable going through our program.
Historically, the FDN certification has attracted many health coaches, nutrition experts, and fitness enthusiasts. Over the last several years, though, we've seen a new wave of 'western' medicine practitioners pursuing our course. This isn't because one philosophy is bad and the other is good. What we've heard firsthand from these individuals is that they are pursuing more functional philosophies due to the increasing number of chronically ill patients who simply aren't being fully helped by western medicine alone.
With all that said, we wanted to share this exciting interview with FOUR nurses (all friends) who decided to pursue the FDN program together to start a brand new business where they serve their clients using functional medicine principles. Through this interview, we hope to help in two ways:
-
Assist other western medicine practitioners in making an informed decision as to whether our program could benefit THEM.
-
Help the standard practitioner better understand the unique problems that our western medicine friends face daily.
We hope you enjoy what will likely be our biggest interview ever (big because we have FIVE total people on this one)! As always, if you have any questions, shoot us a message @fdntraining on Instagram.
Are you a nurse, doctor, or other western medicine practitioner considering adding FDN to your credentials? Please book a free call with one of our Course Advisors at fdntraining.com/call to get all your questions answered.

On this episode of The Health Detective Podcast, Detective Ev, FDNP is having a very timely conversation with Jason Earle, founder of "Got Mold".
When Jason realized that a moldy childhood home was the cause of his extreme allergies and asthma, he decided to give up his successful career on Wall Street to pursue the "healthy home" business to make sure the things that occurred to him and his family did not happen to others.
Over the last two decades, Jason has personally performed countless sick building investigations, solving many medical mysteries along the way, helping thousands of families recover their health and peace of mind. He has featured or appeared on Good Morning America, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Entrepreneur, Wired, and more.
We would NOT consider this your average mold podcast. In fact, our live audience and team found it so insightful, that we are bringing Jason back on soon for a second round.
For this first round, though, we'll be discussing the many health complications seen from mold exposure, why some of the most standard forms of home testing are NOT enough, and what action steps you can take TODAY to start making things better if you suspect you have mold.
