We are back with the second part of this amazing interview with Michael Vasconez!
In part 1, we covered the MANY things he had to try to get his health under control. In part 2, we talk about how the healing of his relationship (with both himself and his now wife) ended up leading to the FULL healing of his once extremely severe symptoms. We highly recommend checking out part 1 first, which can be found by going to: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chronic-fatigue-leaving-the-marines-and-an-18-day/id1547734801?i=1000558933352 (or clicking here).
In case you missed his bio, here is more about Michael:
About Michael:
Michael began his journey as a coach at a young age by coaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, boxing, and various other martial arts. He used martial arts as a way to reach kids who were in need of a positive activity to bring about positive transformation. Through proper education in the raw,living food lifestyle, realignment with his core values, and mentorship he is now a professional, certified coach who has dedicated his life to helping humanity.
Michael is a professional lifestyle medicine and life coach. He earned a Lifestyle Medicine Certification from Hippocrates Health Institute and a Life Coaching diploma from Noble Manhattan USA. He is an accredited Practitioner Coach through the International Authority for Professional Coaching and Mentoring. Additionally, he graduated from the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans program from Purdue University, and is a member of the Semper Fi and America’s Fund Business Apprenticeship program.
A few staples in his life for stabilization are the steady practice and study of Ashtanga yoga, mentorship from one of the closest people in his life, Taita Pedro, who is a traditional indigenous ancestral doctor, and continuing his education. Michael continues to seek self-improvement because he lives under the understanding that a candle’s light can only be as strong as the size of the flame.

Imagine being so fatigued that you can barely do something as simple as check the mail...
Or being so sick that you can no longer serve in the military, even though you coached martial arts just a short time ago.
For today's guest on The Health Detective Podcast, Michael Vasconez, these things were once a reality. Like so many people on our show, he had to try EVERYTHING conventional medicine had to offer before finally finding resolution in the world of functional/natural health!
In this two part episode, we not only touch on the practical health principles Michael now applies to his life, but we also talk about how healing our relationships (with ourselves) can and will directly lead to the healing of our external relationships, as well as our physical health.

Beating Osteoporosis The Natural Way w/ Debi Robinson, FDN-P
Sunday Apr 24, 2022
Sunday Apr 24, 2022
Did you know the GREATEST loss in bone density happens in the 5-7 years post-menopause? Well, that's what NORMALLY happens, at least...
But, is this really what every woman is destined to? Is this truly a guarantee that will happen no matter what you do? As someone who has REGAINED some of her bone density, our guest today, Debi Robinson, challenges this paradigm through her own experience and the science!
If you're interested in seeing how the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition methodology could support those dealing with bone density issues, then this is a must-listen episode!
About Debi:
Debi Robinson helps women find natural approaches to Osteoporosis and Bone Health by helping them identify root causes of their bone loss. She has helped hundreds of women rescue their spiraling out of control bone loss, improve their DEXA scan scores and learn a lifestyle that leads to a stronger body, bones, and balance so they can live a very active lifestyle forever.
At 51, Debi had a total hip replacement and understands what it feels like to be anxious about your body and bones so she creates online programs, teaches weekly classes, and hosts live group Master Classes to teach her clients and students that it is possible to reverse bone loss.

Intro To Food Sensitivites + Why We Use The MRT w/ Detective Ev
Sunday Apr 17, 2022
Sunday Apr 17, 2022
To test or not to test for food sensitivities... That is the question!
In the FDN certification program, we DO teach about food sensitivities, and for good reason.
While most food sensitivity tests look at only one or two ways (out of thousands of ways) that the body could react immunologically to a food, the primary test we use/teach in the course is one that tests for THOUSANDS of ways (indirectly).
Because tests like this exist, we think identifying food sensitivities can be a way to greatly accelerate your client's healing. We talk about this and more in the latest episode of the podcast!
We hope you enjoy this episode and learn a thing or two about food sensitivites. If you're using this type of testing in your practice/have a favorite test, let us know! Go to podbean.com, search for "The Health Detective Podcast," and leave us a comment!
Are you ready to do work you actually love and enjoy? Do you think FDN could be that path for you? If so, you can now try the FDN course for FREE (no cc required) by going to www.fdntraining.com/tryfdn.
