We have another business episode for all you health detectives out there today, and this time, we're talking about why you need to stop selling one-off sessions.
Whether it's a limiting belief (or two, or three), lack of experience, or a lack of a system, there are many reasons practitioners fall into the trap of selling only one session to their clients. The problem, however, is that when you ask ANY practitioner how long it takes for a client to get better, NONE of them would say that the answer is only one day.
In thie episode, we take both a motivational and practical approach to why you need to be selling your services in the form of a program. It will not only benefit you, but more importantly, it will greatly benefit your clients!
As always, if you have any questions, reach out to us on Instagram @fdntraining. We have real humans answering you (as opposed to chat bots). Just say you heard about us on the podcast!

Bridgit Danner was working as an acupuncturist in Portland, Oregon when her health started to deteriorate. She learned a lot, tried a lot of things and even completed a functional health coaching program in an effort to heal herself and become a better practitioner. Although several things kind of helped, nothing helped completely, and she hit rock bottom in the winter of 2014.
Soon after she discovered toxic mold in her 100-yr old home and began the long journey of home and body repair. Bridgit got into the natural medicine field in 2000 as a young environmentalist. She practiced as an acupuncturist and integrative clinic owner for 13 years, performing well over 10,000 sessions, before transitioning to the online space as a functional health coach and educator.

Leigh was obsessed with sports as a child (and still is) and has always been active. At age 14, he began weight training in his school’s gym, but started taking it seriously at 23. At the age of 27, Leigh completed his first course with the American College of Sports Medicine and his career took off from there!
Since then, he's been passionate about learning and turning that knowledge into wisdom through the experience of what is now over 26 years working with clients. Leigh has always sought the ‘best of the best’ to learn from and is as passionate about his work and gaining knowledge now as he was in 1996.
He's studied many different disciplines, including corrective exercise, strength and conditioning, tennis conditioning, nutrition, functional diagnostic nutrition, energy medicine, Bio Geometry, and manual therapy, to name a few. This has given Leigh the ability to provide a truly holistic approach to helping clients over the years, which they have found very effective, often after other approaches hadn’t helped them.
Leigh has formally studied with some of the world’s greatest minds such as Paul Chek, Bill Wolcott, Dr John Veltheim, Dr Michael Leahy, Dr Dietrich Klinghardt and Dr Ibrahim Karim.
Nowadays, most of Leigh's work includes helping clients overcome injuries, gut conditions, and skin conditions.
Leigh has also been a member of the Faculty of the world-renowned CHEK Institute since 2010 teaching and presenting in Europe, USA and Australia. He's also published four books and has a number of online professional continuing education programs.

Most Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioners get into the world of functional healthcare because of the health challenges they've dealt with. Once they start feeling better, many of them realize that it would be AWESOME to have a career where they help others do the same thing!
