A PERFECT FDN Success Story w/ Ryan Monahan, FDNP
Thursday Jun 29, 2023
Thursday Jun 29, 2023
You've most likely heard him before on this show, but if you haven't, you're in for a treat!
Ryan Monahan, FDNP, is a textbook example of what can happen with FDN when the right person goes through the course. Having been sick for much of his young adult years, he found himself in a place where he couldn't ignore his health anymore. And although becoming a health detective wasn't ever on his radar, he now has a full-time, referral-based practice that allows him to work from anywhere in the world.
If you have been keeping up with our summer open house events, then you probably already heard this episode. We thought it was so good that we had to bring it to our podcast audience, though, just in case they missed anything!
We hope you enjoy :).

Healing Power of PEPTIDES w/ Awais Spall, FDN-P
Monday Jun 26, 2023
Monday Jun 26, 2023
Functional medicine can be tricky. On the one hand, there are SO MANY healing modalities that are 100% rooted in solid, up to date science.
On the other hand, there are ALWAYS things that people are trying (and swearing by) that might not have the human studies to back them up quite yet. When this happens, we think the right thing to do is to simply share stories to bring AWARENESS to the subject, not necessarily so that people go out and try these things.
With all this said, our repeat guest today, Awais Spall, is a former chemist and active Functional Diagnostic Nutrition practitioner that has some INCREDIBLE healing stories of peptides.
What are peptides exactly? How are they administered? Where can you find them and are they safe?
All of these questions and more are shared in this episode. We hope you enjoy, and as always, please feel free to reach out to us with any questions on Instagram @fdntraining.

About Awais:
Awais Spall is a certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner.
About 11 years ago, he began to experience a strange myriad of digestive issues and muscle spasms. He was soon diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Irritable Bowel Disease. Over the next few years, Awais saw over 30 doctors, a process that cost him thousands in medical debt with no major change in symptoms. Then in 2017, he decided to take his health into his own hands through Functional Diagnostic Nutrition’s training program. Alongside FDN, he pursued a rigorous study of Ayurveda, an ancestral form of healing that holds so many keys to wellness.
Through the Combination of Functional Medicine and Ayurveda, Awais noticed dramatic improvements in his digestion and energy, in only a matter of weeks! Today, his mission is to share his unique approach to empower those that are suffering and, like him, are unsatisfied with conventional medicine.

FULLY Customizable Meditations For You and Your Clients w/ David Gull
Thursday Jun 22, 2023
Thursday Jun 22, 2023
While some of us probably feel a bit weird about the whole artificial intelligence thing, there is no doubt a time and place for everything. Our guest today on The Health Detective Podcast, David Gull, came up with one of the best and most interesting uses of AI that we've ever seen!
If you've ever done a guided meditation, you might have found that some of them fit you perfectly while others didn't seem to quite work. But what if each and every guided meditation was completely custom to your unique situation in any given moment? That is exactly what David's app, Ogimi, is able to do :).
This is one you'll just have to listen to in order to wrap your head around it. Please let us know what you think about this excellent use of tech!!!
David Gull is a tech entrepreneur founder, a licensed architect, and a creator. He thrives on designing and building new products.
David is currently Co-founder & CEO of Ogimi, the first AI Meditation Coach. With Ogimi, he is mission driven, with the goal of helping 1B people fix their mental health through highly personalized daily meditation practice. Meditation has been deeply meaningful to David since he started the practice 15 years ago when he hit the point of burnout early in his architecture career. He knows that if he can help others create and deepen a meditation practice to explore their inner world, he will have made the world a better place. You can try the app for free at www.ogimi.ai

Thursday Jun 15, 2023
Thursday Jun 15, 2023
Today on The Health Detective Podcast, we have brought back an individual whose episode holds a place in our top 10 most downloaded episodes ever, Hailey Rowe!
Interestingly, despite us being a podcast primarily about health, Hailey's biz tips for health coaches and functional practitioners have completely won over our audience. Last time, we talked more about entrepreneurship in a general sense. This time, though, we are talking about what sales IS and ISN'T (hint: it should NEVER be lying or manipulating), as well as how you can instantly develop more confidence on your sales calls.
The reason Hailey is qualified to talk about these things is because of her extensive history in the marketing and sales space 🙂. You can read more about her impressive background below:
About Hailey:
Hailey is a Marketing & Sales Coach/Consultant & Linkedin Lead Generation Service Provider.
She helps health coaches and functional wellness professionals build their client attraction process, develop their no-brainer offers, & grow their impact locally and online. She shares her F.A.S.T. framework, marketing, and business tips on her Health Coach Nation Podcast & in her FREE Marketing Hub Facebook Group.
She’s also been named as one of the Top 25 Coaches in Chicago & one of the Top 6 business podcasts for health coaches. Since 2010, Hailey has worked in the coaching industry & in business development/marketing for startups. Hailey’s philosophy: You can have an amazing service and impact to make, but without a strong mindset, and sales and marketing plan, your business will remain a hobby.

On today's episode of The Health Detective Podcast, we are interviewing Jeremy Malecha, CEO and Founder of Biocanic. Jeremy is actually the husband to Jenn Malecha, someone we've had on the show multiple times (AND she also happens to be the person who introduced our host, Evan Transue, to the world of FDN to begin with).
Jeremy has over 20 years of healthcare and software related experience. Prior to Biocanic, he was the Vice President of Strategy in ResMed’s SaaS Business. Across his 10+ year career at ResMed he also held senior leadership roles overseeing global product management across the product portfolio and was the lead person behind the conceptualization and launch of the ResMed digital health ecosystem. Today, Jeremy is a catalyst for building a new integrative medicine marketplace rooted in the power of health intelligence and consumer advocacy so society can take back control of their health and wellness in a post pandemic world. He holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering from Northwestern University in addition to multiple patents in signal processing for medical applications.
If you have any questions about how Biocanic compares to another software you might be using, please reach out to them on Instagram @biocanic. Alternatively, you can visit their website at www.biocanic.com

Got IBS? No problem! w/ Kim Del Castillo, FDNP
Thursday Jun 08, 2023
Thursday Jun 08, 2023
Is it really possible that the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition certification program is as good as creating careers as it is solving complex health issues? The answer is absolutely YES, and graduates like Kim prove that for us every day.
Kim Del Castillo, FDNP, had been homeschooling her kids while also dealing with VERY annoying health symptoms such as IBS. She even said to us in this episode that it got bad enough to where she couldn't go ANYWHERE without knowing where the bathroom was/would be.
Nowadays, her kids are older and Kim has never felt better. She has a thriving FDN practice, works the hours she wants to, and best yet, she's making a real impact helping people!
Thank you so much to Kim for leading by example and showing others what is possible with the FDN system. We also appreciate how transparently and openly you shared your story, as THAT is what others truly relate to and benefit from 🙂.

Our NEW Health Coach Mastery Program w/ Dr. Lori Rose, PhD, FDN-P, AHG, NBC-HWC
Thursday May 25, 2023
Thursday May 25, 2023
If we had a dollar for every time someone signed up for the main FDN course because a random health coaching course they took prior to finding us didn't fit their needs, let's just say we'd be taking some extra staff vacations!
Because of this, we said "You know what, there HAS to be a better way..." And POOF! Just like that, we created our Health Coach Mastery program.
Health Coach Mastery is FDN's newly released coaching program. As FDN practitioners, we normally consider ourselves to be consultants as opposed to coaches. However, we also recognize the demand and need for the coaching skills side of things. This new program fits those needs perfectly, and it is something that can be taken by anyone interested in this field, regardless of whether or not they've gone through the main FDN program :).
If you're still a bit confused after listening to this, feel free to book a call with one of our Course Enrollment Advisors. Go to fdntraining.com/call.
About Dr. Lori:
Lori Valentine Rose, PhD, is a board certified nutrition professional (CNP), board certified holistic nutrition consultant (BCHN), certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Practitioner (FDN-P), board registered herbalist (RH-AHG), board certified wellness coach (NBC-HWC), teacher, wife, and mom. She is a passionate student of nutrition, herbalism, spirituality, and pretty much anything that makes our minds, bodies, souls, and planet a better place to inhabit. She has taught biology and nutrition at a local community college for around ten years, and has been back-yard organic gardening for around five years, in addition to pursuing clinical herbalism for several years.

Do you NEED a niche in marketing? Or, a better question... Is it REALLY the most important thing?
Our repeat guest today, Skye Gallagher, does marketing for tons of health practitioners and coaches. Having been a health coach herself, she understands firsthand how confusing the business side can be when you're first getting your business going. We wanted to bring her back on today to help you not overcomplicate things when it comes to the business side of consulting/coaching, AND to lave you with some actionable steps you can start applying immediately.
In addition, we also have a very special announcement... We won't say much about that here, but the title does give it a way a bit.
Have any more questions about marketing or this podcast? Feel free to reach out to any of us on Instagram.
Skye can be found @skyegallagher, and we can be found @fdntraining.

Skye is obsessed with helping people transform, and she creates mental models that help people live their dream lives and have their dream businesses!
