The FDN Approach

Uncover The Root Cause Of Your Symptoms

An FDN® Practitioner Is

A Health Detective Of The Highest Order

We recognize that each person is biochemically unique, using data retrieved from functional lab tests to identify healing opportunities.

We work together in a partnership to analyze and modify your lifestyle – diet, sleep, stress, exercise – to ACHIEVE your desired results.

We engage with you as an individual in a health building process, to help you learn how to best care for your unique body and maintain optimal health.

We emphasize whole foods to nourish your body and facilitate the healing process.

We utilize an integrative approach that incorporates the mind (through education), the body (through nutrition and exercise) and the heart (through inspiration and motivation) to help you believe what you will achieve! The symptoms you are feeling are only the tip of the iceberg.

Traditional doctors treat and medicate the symptoms. FDN® Practitioners help you further investigate the underlying causes to these symptoms. We help you uncover the root cause and work with you to help your body heal naturally.

What Does This Mean For Me?

This means I want to know WHY you have symptoms, not just that you have them.

I evaluate core body systems using traditional Naturopathic means and combine it with functional lab work to identify hidden stressors. These hidden stressors are seen as “healing opportunities” that help point you in the direction of better health. By balancing your body, you help build a strong foundation upon which you can thrive.

Here's Some Of The Functional Testing That I Use As A Guide

Stop Chasing Symptoms and get to the root of the issue

H.I.D.D.EN. STRESSORS

  • Hormone
  • Immune
  • Digestion
  • Detoxification
  • Energy Production
  • Nervous System


H.I.D.D.EN. STRESSORS & dysfunctions are main culprits in most common health complaints

Want to know more about the
FUNCTIONAL LAB TESTS THAT I USE?

I offer a Functional Testing Kit and Consult package a la carte. It is the same set of test kits I use with all my concierge clients. This package consists of the tests ONLY and a one-time consult . You will receive personalized supplement suggestions and recommendations for testing followup as needed.

How Does It All Work?

Rather than chasing symptoms, I work with my clients and engage them in a systematic, step-by-step approach that addresses diet, movement and physical activity, rest and stress management, environment and other lifestyle factors. In addition, specific nutritional supplementation strategies are incorporated to support the healing process.


This practical and comprehensive program seeks to restore function and balance within the hormonal, digestive, immune and detoxification systems. Restoring function of these systems is the key to regaining health. With the proper understanding, commitment and compliance, symptoms disappear and health is restored. This is the hallmark of FDN work.
