If we had a dollar for every time someone (particularly women) did not get their thyroid condition(s) addressed properly by western medicine, we could probably all be living on a beach somewhere!
Unfortunately, we don't get paid for that. Instead, we get the next best thing: Bringing you podcasts with awesome guests like the one today, Lindsey Akenclose, to share their personal journey and tips to get through these types of struggles.
Equally as great as her health story is Lindsey's willingness to come on while so new into her business. We know how much our audience appreciates hearing from fresh faces and functional healthcare veterans alike, so it is our privilege to be able to bring you both types of interviews!
If you'd like to learn more about the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Certification program, you may DM us directly on Instagram @fdntraining. Alternatively, you can try the course for FREE (no credit card entry required) at fdntraining.com/tryfdn.
About Lindsey:
Lindsey became super passionate about functional health and learning to advocate for herself when she discovered her own personal health issues related to the thyroid and gut. As she began her own healing journey, she realized that women are truly left in the dark and misinformed about such important health issues. She no longer wanted to see women suffering unnecessarily.
Because of this realization, she decided to launch her own business in functional healthcare. Lindsey's business is still very new, so we appreciate her even more for coming on and sharing where she is at with us!

Ok - believe it or not, this podcast covers a WHOLE lot more than the title implies. Our guest today, Sara Banta, originally set off on a healing journey for her own issues, but she had no idea that she'd soon be caring for her children's health issues as well.
Fast-forward to today, she has successfully helped ALL of her children AND herself with the unique health challenges they all faced, and has created a line of products (in addition to her coaching and podcast) to support individuals struggling with their own issues.
It was a pleasure to have Sara on, and we hope you send her some positive messages or give her a follow if you found this information useful/inspiring!

We’ve saved the best for last in our intro to FDN series - the biz advice!
The reality of health coaching is that some people struggle to get just a few clients, while others develop WAIT-LIST practices. Is this just the result of being lucky (or unlucky)? We know for a fact it’s not that simple. In fact, there are certain key actions that ANYONE can take which will lead them to success in their business. There is even advice that you can apply BEFORE graduating the FDN program that will have you onboarding clients within the first couple weeks of completing the course, and that’s the exact advice we’ll be discussing in this final episode of the series!

With FDN being a self-paced course, people often wonder what a typical day will look like while they’re pursuing their certification. In this episode, we cover exactly that!
For those a bit more intimidated by self-paced programs, you’ll see that it is not scary at all and that we offer you constant support along the way.
For those that already love the idea of self-paced, it will give you the 30,000 foot overview so you can start planning accordingly.

In this episode, we are continuing our “Intro to FDN” series! Please make sure you’re listening in order so that everything makes sense. Here is the link to the FIRST episode of the series where we discuss the ONLY “diagnosis” FDN practitioners hand out, metabolic chaos: https://spotify.link/Zd5OlSW03Bb
And here is the link to the SECOND episode where we discuss FDN’s trademarked “DRESS” protocol: https://spotify.link/hjeSHPTZ8Bb
Today, we are discussing most people’s favorite part: the labs! Unlike many other functional practitioners, FDNs always start with the same set of labs on every client. You can remember these tests with the acronym HIDDEN, which stands for hormones, immune system, digestion, detoxification, energy production and nervous system. These labs were not chosen randomly or on a whim. They were carefully selected after the founder of FDN, Reed Davis, ran over 11,000 labs on clients in his own practice. After listening, we think it will be crystal clear as to how and why we still use this particular set of labs to this day.
As always, if you have any follow-up questions, reach out to us @fdntraining on Instagram to talk to one of our staff members! Alternatively, you can book a call with Ev or one of the other Course Advisors anytime by going to FDNtraining.com/call.

Today, we are discussing our trademarked DRESS system that is a core part of every FDN program. DRESS stands for diet, rest, exercise, stress-reduction and supplementation. Without understanding the significance of this acronym, almost NONE of the stuff we teach about labs matters.

(And don't worry - for the regular listeners, there are a couple of different ways you can benefit from/use these episodes, too).
These episodes are best listened to in order, and this is the first one in the series!

Does being an FDN practitioner mean every little health symptom you've ever had has to be perfect? Absolutely not. What it DOES mean is that you are someone who will continuously "walk the walk" of being healthy. It means you will never give up trying new things until you get the results you want. It also means you are willing to do whatever you can to help others along their own healing journey. Our guest today, Tina Haupert, is a PERFECT example of all of this!
Tina diagnosed with ulcerative colitis over a decade ago, which was particularly surprising to her since she engaged in many "healthy" lifestyle habits. While she did what she could for the diagnosis at the time, in the back of her head, she also knew that what she had been told was a bit scary, and as a result, it didn't quite get the attention that it deserved.
Fast-forward several years, and the symptoms got bad enough that Tina could no longer pretend it would one day go away on it's own. Worse yet, she started dealing with a myriad of other symptoms, too, ones that are not too dissimilar from many of the ones our other guests have experienced. It was at that point that she knew some MAJOR changes needed to occur.
As of today, Tina has been an FDNP for 4 years and has a thriving practice. She feels significantly better, and has managed to get her UC into remission through a combination of lifestyle changes and medication. It is also worth noting that she is still progressing on her healing journey, so who knows what a couple more years will bring?
If you're someone who has been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, this is DEFINITELY for you. Let us know what you think, and if you have any questions you can reach out to Tina on IG @carrotsncake, or message us directly @fdntraining.
About Tina:
Tina Haupert is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P), certified nutrition coach, cookbook author, podcast host, wife, mom, and the creative mind behind Carrots ‘N’ Cake. Tina and her coaching team work one-on-one with clients, utilizing functional testing and a macro-based nutrition approach to help them enhance their metabolism and diet to achieve their health and body composition goals. Tina was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis 12 years ago and is also an active IBD advocate.
