You asked, and we listened! We brought on an FDN client to tell their story and share their results.
Recently, it's been suggested by quite a few people that we should start highlighting some individuals who have worked directly with FDNs, as opposed to those who are actually in the health space as practitioners. We thought this was a great idea, and will likely continue to do this in the future, too. For today, though, we brought on Lucas Wolfe, a gentleman who suffered with rather severe mental health issues starting in his late teens.
For almost a decade, Lucas was getting help for his issues through western medicine. Western medicine actually DID help him to a significant degree, but he always knew in the back of his head that he'd ideally like to not rely on medications if he didn't have to. Because of this, he finally gave functional medicine a chance. It's a good thing he did, too, because when you hear how quick the results occurred, you'll be shocked in the best way possible!
A huge thank you to Lucas for coming on and sharing his story when he has nothing to gain from it other than helping others. Those are the BEST types of people. We hope you enjoy this episode :).
About Lucas:
Lucas is currently an engineer, but has also worked as a mental health speaker. He is the author of “My Perfect Life: How Depression Almost Ended It and How I Found Purpose Through Pain".
Want to help your clients get results like Lucas? Then you should become a certified FDN and join our community! Go to fdntraining.com/course to read more about what you'll learn in the program.

That is why we brought on Kat today. She discussed with us the different aspects of what Self-Love actually looks like (and no, it's not going to the spa every Sunday), how to introduce certain practices into your life to start implementing self-love, and possibly most interestingly, some incredible stories that occurred in both her and her her client's lives once they started truly loving themselves!

So, you did it. You graduated FDN (or maybe some other health coaching program out there), but now you're stuck. You don't know how to charge appropriately for your services in general, let alone how to create packages.
Worse yet, how will the clients pay for the packages? Do they run up their credit cards? Do they take a loan from their mom? Do you offer in-house financing and take some of the risk for them? Well, we have an AMAZING answer for this problem too, one that we just recently discovered thanks to our friend, Kim Boehm.
In this episode, you'll learn the FDN approach to structuring your packages as a practitioner, as well as how and when to use these in conversation (because you don't necessarily mention all of your packages to every client).
Lastly, we'll teach you an amazing way that FDN practitioners can get 0%, 15-month financing for their clients. The better part? You as the practitioner will get ALL of the money upfront, including the money for the labs. Total game changer!
If you have any questions about what we discussed, you may always reach out to us @fdntraining.com
You can also book a call with one of the FDN Course Advisors (including Ev) by going to fdntraining.com/call.

The FDN system transformed him and his mom's lives so profoundly that all of his work is now centered around spreading it's teachings.Evan is now the host of The Health Detective Podcast, owner of Bucks County Light Therapy and Functional Medicine Center, and speaks professionally to middle and high school students about mental health challenges. He has been blessed to speak to over 50,000 students around the country and deliver over 500 professional presentations.

(This is Part 2! If you haven't caught Part 1 yet, you can click here to listen on Apple, or here to listen on Spotify).
You read the title right... In this episode, we have an EXTREMELY special guest (and no, we're totally not biased). It's Detective Ev's GF, Maddy!
Maddy served in the United States Army for 5 years, after which she pursued nursing school. While that ended up not being for her, she always kept her interest in health and wellness in the back of her mind.
After meeting Ev in the most ridiculous way possible (and yes, we touch on this in the podcast), she started to see what he was doing in the world of FDN. A little under a year into dating, Maddy came out of what seemed like nowhere one day and said "You know what, I'm going to do FDN!" It turns out, she had listened to almost EVERY EPISODE of the podcast in her free time, and was super impressed by the stories she heard.
Now, Maddy is just one exam away from graduating, and she shares her experience with the FDN program, as well as her own health struggles that she thought were "normal."
This is a two part episode, so make sure you are subscribed for the second one!

Today's episode of The Health Detective Podcast is a bit different, but still VERY much relevant to all of our listeners.
We have the pleasure of interviewing Matt Leonard, a former alcoholic and certified personal trainer. While we normally focus solely on how health issues were resolved using functional medicine/natural modalities, we believe it is essential to bring this topic to light, as addiction is one of the few things in life that doesn't discriminate.
Addiction doesn't care about your religion, your race, how much money you make, or what kind of family you came from. ANYONE can be subject to substance abuse or addiction, and because of that, we know that we'd be doing our audience a disservice to not share this.
We'd like to publicly thank Matt for his humility and bravery in sharing his story. It is raw, genuine, and shared with no other intention than to help others. If you resonate with the episode, please show him some support on his new page, @soberlifestyleguy.
Click the link in our bio to listen to this episode now!
Matt got sober in March of 2021 after battling alcoholism, after which he began working in the fitness industry. Matt was a General Manager for LA Fitness, selling gym memberships and personal training packages tailored to client needs.
Since then, he's obtained his personal training certification and began training his own clients.
Recently, he launched his brand "soberlifestyleguy," where he hopes to reach a greater audience, specifically younger people struggling with mental health and substance abuse disorders to provide motivation and education.

Due to overwhelming demand, we are SO excited to be bringing on the first guest to ever talk about funcitonal medicine for pets on our show, Dr. Ruth Roberts!
Dr. Roberts was one of our most popular guests ever for our Health Space Unmasked event back in early March. Everyone in the functional medicine space intuitively knows there are tons of things we could probably do better for our furry friends, but it's sometimes hard to tell precisely what those things are!
In this episode, Dr. Roberts covers everything from dietary recommendations, to environemntal toxins, to the surprising implications of spading and neutering our pets in regards to what it does to their hormones.
We hope you enjoy this episode, and as always, you can shoot us over any questions you may have @fdntraining on Instagram.
