On today's episode of The Health Detective Podcast, we are analyzing Detective Ev's thyroid labs with one of the most knowledgeable Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioners out there, Ryan Monahan!
Ryan was the first guest we ever interviewed on this show, and deservedly so. This is a guy who suffered for YEARS with some of the worst fatigue imaginable, as well as depression and many other health symptoms. Fast-track to today, and Ryan is now one of FDN's clinical advisors with a booming business, too.
Overtime, Ryan accumulated multiple advanced certificates through FDN (and other institutes), one of them being granted for the completion of FDN's advanced thyroid training. Because of this, he is the perfect person to helps us dive deep into the thyroid labs we're discussing today.
We hope you enjoy this episode!
***You can watch the video version of this podcast here: https://youtu.be/TJT5Srn2KBM
About Ryan:
Ryan Monahan is an FDN-P Level III, board certified health coach, Clinical Advisor, and Certified AIP Coach.
He has a passion for uncovering hidden stressors that contribute to thyroid disease. Throughout his journey, Ryan spent over 10 frustrating years visiting more than 40 health professionals to find answers to his chronic health complaints until being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s in 2012. Since then, his mission has been to change the dialogue about chronic disease towards a holistic, functional approach while helping others restore their health to normal function.
Typically, his clients are people who have struggled with finding relief from their autoimmune symptoms. Oftentimes, they feel that they’ve “tried everything”, and that traditional medicine hasn’t served them. In his experience, there is a better way.

On this episode of The Health Detective Podcast, we are interviewing cancer survivor Carmen Weir!
We think it is fair to say that ANYONE who goes through the process of cancer treatment can be considered an incredible person, but Carmen is a particularly special case because she did something that very few people do in life... She took one of the worst things that ever happened to her and USED it as fuel to find her passion and create a ROCK SOLID mindset. It is a mindset so inspiring that it would be legitimately tough to NOT feel moved by this episode.
We'll leave it at that for now, as the interview speaks for itself. We hope you enjoy this incredible story!
About Carmen:
Carmen came to FDN after several health crises. In April 2019 she was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. A follow-up Dexascan showed she also had severe Osteoporosis. Given the option of low-dose chemo for the RA and drugs that didn't truly build bone, she looked to other more holistic approaches and hired a (famous) Functional Medicine Doctor. Those two diagnoses were just the beginning for her though. Later in 2019 she was diagnosed with yet another autoimmune disease-Guttate Psoriasis. Then in March of 2020, the big daddy of them all was revealed: Stage III endometrial cancer. Carmen chose a hybrid approach to cancer, undergoing radical hysterectomy and chemo alongside many holistic practices. It was during her cancer journey that she realized her passion and mission in life were to help other people find health outside of the western medical model of sickness care. On New Year's Eve of 2020, with a body clear of cancer and a heart set on becoming a difference-maker, she signed up for the FDN course to set her intentions for life after cancer.

Our guest today, Jess Sherman, has been on the frontline fighting for our kid's health since 2007!
During her time as a teacher, Jess began to notice the many behavioral and mental issues her students were exhibiting. The final straw for her was when she found out that a whopping SIXTY PERCENT of the students in the school she taught at were on some form of medication! Intuitively, this didn't make sense to her, and she knew she had to act.
Since then, Jess obtained a degree in holistic nutrition and became a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner amongst other things. She has been serving families and their children for over a decade, and in this episode, we're discussing all the best things that she's learned.
We hope you enjoy this very timely episode!
About Jess:
Jess helps kids experiencing anxiety feel better so life can settle down. Along with being a certified teacher, Jess is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Board Certified in Practical Holistic Nutrition.
With anxiety in kids now at an all-time high, she is working to help doctors, therapists, teachers, kids, and parents understand and apply a whole-child, whole-body, trauma-informed, nutrition and lifestyle focussed approach to helping them from the outside-in and the inside-out.
Her book, RaisingResilience: take the stress out of feeding your family and love your life, along with her Calm & Clear Kids Program, and her Resilience Roadmap, have reached families all over the world.

In this episode, Detective Ev is finshing up his solo episodes for a bit, and we're ending with a bang!
Over the last two years especially, we have had an abundance of healthcare workers joining the FDN program to be able to have more control of their livelihood and help people at a causal level when it comes to their health challenges. As a result, many of these people were/are looking to complete the FDN course as efficiently as possible and immediately start taking clients!
Today, you're going to learn all the things Detective Ev wish he had gotten set up for himself BEFORE graduating the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Certification Course.
All 9 tips are practical and actionable. They are things you can do TODAY to set yourself up for quicker success, instead of fumbling around with them needlessly after you graduate.
We hope you enjoy this episode!
