Just in case you didn't know -

WHAT HEALTH PROBLEMS DOES FDN HELP SOLVE?

The short answer is, “all of them”. But there is one secret you have to know. Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) is a fundamental way of looking at health.

Our view of symptoms like joint pain, muscle pain, bad skin, gastric bloating and every other health complaint, is that they all have causal factors to be investigated. Our job includes identifying healing opportunities, as opposed to diagnosing or labeling the symptoms or cluster of symptoms. Even in tough cases, opportunities for physical repair, restoration and healing can be great and, in my mind, the opportunities to employ FDN are equally abundant.

On the other hand, masking a symptom allows the underlying condition to deteriorate, to get worse. Palliative (relief) care is important, but if that’s all you provide then the patient may weaken and soon you’ll need stronger and stronger medication. Eventually, surgery may become necessary. Something I noticed a long time ago, once body parts are removed, they become quite difficult to restore to normal function.

FDN is a type of detective work that seeks to identify and correct the underlying causes and conditions that lead to the patients health complaints. In that sense, FDN is not diagnosing or treating any disease nor practicing medicine. At once, this sits very well with the lay-practitioner..

FDNs use high quality functional lab work to investigate underlying malfunctions of the adrenal glands, mucosal barrier, detoxification systems, metabolic processes, absorption and assimilation, immune and defense mechanisms and steroid hormone balance to name a few. We don’t go overboard, just a handful of labs really. When data from these labs, plus other clues, are correctly interpreted, the opportunities for building health become markedly evident.

Our demographic is made up of people with health complaints, who want to do something about it, and opt-in to our system in an arm’s length transaction under no duress. Or there shouldn’t be any duress. Practitioners using FDN provide intelligent health care services, not attendant sickness care. For the last time in this memo, I’ll say this: we don’t diagnose or treat disease, we do identify healing opportunities.

You say “I’ve tried everything” but is still concerned with:

Can’t Lose Weight?
High Cholesterol?
Muscle Pain?
Joint Pain?
Low Energy?
Foggy Thinking?
Sleep Issues?
Poor Libido?
Depressed Moods?
High Blood Pressure?
Digestive Problems?
Blood Sugar Problems?
Too many prescriptions?
Family with Cancer & Diabetes?
Skin & Hair Problems?
Migraines and Headaches?
Sinuses and Allergies?

Then it's time to stop chasing symptoms and start addressing the underlying causes!

This is it folks and that is why I mostly talk about optimizing functional body systems so that the calibration is as aligned to your efforts as possible. Hormones, immune system, mucosal intestinal system, nervous
system, etc all play upon each other.

Calories in vs. out? Or hormones? The debate is finally over. Here’s who won. When it comes to body change, there’s no topic more polarizing than “calories in vs. calories out.” Some argue it’s the be-all and end-all of weight loss. Others say it’s oversimplified and misguided. In this article, we explore every angle of the debate from “eat less, move more,” to ...

This is keeping up the cortisol feed and stealing from pregnenelone, the upstream feed for s*x hormones.

Results in a sense of energy while draining all of the rest of the body's systems and contributing to inflammation, s*x hormone imbalances, neurotransmitter issues,a depressed immune system and gut issues.

Finally, some mainstream attention on this.

The military’s obsession with energy drinks is contributing to PTSD, study finds The authors surveyed over 600 male infantry soldiers during a post-deployment period after the brigade combat team returned from a 12-month combat deployment.

Listen to Robb Wolf's recent podcast on Estrogenics. The author of the book Estrogeneration is on. Being an FDN and measuring the continuing drop in Testosterone as well as huge estrogen imbalances in men and women is alarming. T has plummeted in last 20 years. We need to look at what is disrupting hormone balance.
