Start A Career As A Functional Health Practitioner
Are you a health coach ready to uplevel & specify your recommendations to clients or maybe start a new career?
Whatever your reason is, the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Program is one of the highest quality programs out there for those of us wanting to stay out of the medical field yet have access to the top quality preventative lab work & systems to truly restore health. FDN is the only program I’ve found that gives the highest quality education, exclusive ongoing training & access to a worldwide network of running lab screenings.
The FDN certification course & advanced courses are well-suited for:
Anyone wanting to launch a new career as a health coach or practitioner
Health Coaches looking to offer functional testing to their clients
Medical Professionals looking to get better results for their clients
Anyone interested in healing themselves & helping others
I’ve personally been working with them & trained under them since 2017. It has proven itself over & over again with the results I’ve gotten for my clients as well as in my own family.
A Little about My Story
The mainstream medical world personally failed me when I was sick in 2013. I saw all the top MDs in the San Diego area with only a diagnosis of IBS & a stack of prescriptions - which just wasn’t enough to satisfy my curiosity about what was really going on inside my body.
After exhausting my health insurance resources, I found FDN which completely transformed my life. Upon running a few of the FDN functional labs, I had TONS of answers as to what was going on with my system! There were PLENTY of healing opportunities that the doctors “missed” (because they were not looking at a sub-clinical level!)
Within months I was feeling better after eradicating a few bacterial infections, balancing my hormones, improving nutrient deficiencies/overloads & supporting all the organ systems of my body.
“At FDN, our mission is to educate as many people as possible about how to get well & stay well naturally, so they in turn can empower others to live healthier lives.”
After this initial experience with my health & the functional lab world, I switched careers completely & devoted my life to helping others get better on a deeper level - using data, science & precision in my recommendations to clients. Now, it’s my biggest passion to guide people to get their lives & energy back.
It’s even MORE exciting to help other practitioners level up their careers (or take their careers online!) so they can go on to help thousands of more people thrive through life.

The depth of knowledge & support is beyond what I could have ever desired in my career.
FAQ’s
-
Yes! graduates are able to order 60+ functional lab tests for themselves and/or their clients through our Medical Director Program. This allows unlicensed individuals to order testing, and includes a 30-minute consultation to review lab results each time an order is placed.
-
FDN Practitioners are health detectives – trained in investigating underlying causes & conditions, and using evidence-based protocols to restore function & vitality. They understand how to select the right functional tests, and exactly what clues to look for when analyzing the lab results.
-
While functional testing can help anyone build better health, it’s important to understand that FDN Practitioners do not diagnose or treat disease. Instead, the FDN methodology teaches people to identify healing opportunities & eliminate contributors to Metabolic Chaos®. This means that FDN Practitioners are well-suited to support just about anyone in restoring function & harmony throughout the body.

Real Estate Remodel
We just completed the biggest project of our lives!
In September of 2016, my husband & I purchased our first home - a foreclosed on, super nasty, fixer upper. It smelled like cigarette smoke, had 10 people living in it’s small sqare footage & was just not what I had in mind for our first house together.
(It even came with a car in the driveway because the homeowners didn’t know where the guy went - so strange!)
It was on the market only for only one day when we told our realtor friend we HAD to have it. It wasn’t advertised in the listing, but we knew it had views of the lake & a super massive unheard of in our area (1/3 acre). SO MUCH POTENTIAL.
It really felt like a gift from God - the perfect way for me to utilize my interior design degree & begin our investment portfolio. There was even a double rainbow above the house on the day we closed & got the keys! If that’s not God’s sign from heaven, I don’t know what is.
Backstory for why we wanted to do this:
In 2013, when Scott & I were just dating, we joined a group called New Wealth Advisors Club in southern California. They were an investment group teaching others how to buy homes for cheap, flip them & make a profit. It was something we always knew we wanted to do, loved learning about & had a deep spark of interest to try for ourselves. We never knew it would turn into this!
The project was long & took about 4 years to accomplish. We did most of the project in cash & nearly every surface was refinished or replaced.

AFTER PHOTOS
It was a challenge to say the least & definitely tested us and our marriage. We have grown SO much during these past 4 years & I’m grateful we were able to make it happen.
A great reminder that good things take time…and the day you plant the seed is not the day you harvest the fruit.
If you have a dream in your heart there IS ALWAYS a way to make it happen (if you’re willing to step outside your comfort zone.)

Next replace baby wipes with a container filled with soft cloths or unbleached paper towels and Mild Acidic Water. Use to cleanse diaper area each time you change your baby, pat dry and then apply a very fine mist to the skin. This assists in keeping the pH of the skin balanced.
Caution—Step Away From The Antiperspirant:
Sweat is one of your body’s natural methods for ridding itself of toxins, so stopping that natural function can create a serious backlash in your lymphatic system. Odors are simply bacteria thriving in the dark, damp area.
So to stop the odor simply mist with pH 2.5 Strong Acid Water. If you tend to sweat a lot, keep a small spray bottle in your purse or desk drawer for occasional touch ups throughout the day.
Home Grown Indoor Garden
In the wake of the 2020 “coronavirus pandemic”, our family saw a need to become more self-sufficient & to take even better care of our bodies.
Month 1 of growth!
We have always believed in using food as medicine & trusting it as the best way to safeguard our bodies against disease… which is why we decided to try out an indoor hydroponics food growing system!
I’d seen some friends have great success with their TOWER GARDEN systems (using them both indoor & outdoor!).
With the timer system, lighting system & all the automations - I knew it would be something my “black thumb” could handle, right?!
We started our first seedings on April 23 & within a week we had lots of sprouts & even roots on our bean plant! I was super surprised & excited about how quick & easy the whole process was.
It’s been a great way to slow down & watch God’s process of growth & transformation happen before my eyes.
🌻A daily reminder that good things take time.
🌾That change takes time.
🌱That growth takes time.
A reminder that we all need daily nourishment to keep us strong to withstand the constant changes & stress.💪🏼
This tower garden has not only been a great mental health tool but also a fun project for our family to do together.
My daughter LOVES to talk to our plants each day & encourage them to grow. It’s so dang sweet.
It’s also further developed her awareness about patience, how to treat things gently & all about seeds, roots & water.
We’re currently growing:
Cucumber, zucchini, tomatoes, jalapeños, 6+ types of lettuce, bush beans, peas, cilantro, scallions, cabbage, celery, kale, basil, eucalyptus, assorted flowers, + more!
Our customized tower has room for 52 plants (we added the micro-greens extension) & the timer system makes it easy for us to manage a full garden while still being able to leave town for weeks.
If you want to get set up with your very own, they offer options as low as $50 a month to get started.
Super simple. Super easy to get organic, non-GMO product on your porch.
Healthy Feet For Life
👣If feet cannot feel, feet cannot function...
After several years of owning a fitness studio & working with hundreds of people on their stability, strength & flexibility 💪🏼 I quickly realized how vitally important it was to have well developed feet.
🦶With most people shoving their feet in small, “shoe shaped” shoes, almost everyone I worked with had issues w/ bunions, plantar fasciitis, lack of balance/strength, hammertones & more… (which can all be avoided & fixed!)
🗣The traditional shoes we’ve all known & grown up with are actually causing harm to our skeletal, muscular & nervous systems.
👎🏼They push & pinch our feet into unnatural shapes, lead us to muscle imbalance & disconnect us further from the earth.
Quite literally, feet are the foundation to your body & they NEED to be strong & flexible to hold you up all day long💁🏼♀️
👉🏼If our feet aren't’ strong, we lack a stable foundation…
And without a stable foundation, the joints that stack above our feet (ankles, kness, hips) can begin to hold up our weight, lose mobility & increase in inflammation 🙅🏼♀️becoming sore or painful...
SO WHAT DO YOU DO?
✔️Barefoot Shoes: these are wider than normal, super flexible, & thinner for more connection to the ground
We love & use: @vivobarefoot @xeroshoes @merrell
✔️Toe Spacers: @correcttoes these are a simple tool to provide circulation, stimulation & stretching to our toes & foot muscles
✔️Daily Foot Exercises: strengthening your feet & toes everyday is a simple way to make this lifelong change.
🗑 I personally ditched all shoes that have arch support, laces, thick soles, a small toe bed or are inflexible in any way. I even prefer hiking in barefoot shoes or just going barefoot if the ground allows. ✨TRUE barefoot is even better.
👼🏼Especially for children! make sure you put off them wearing shoes for AS LONG AS POSSIBLE so they have the best chance at proper mobility & natural strength.
Just a few minutes of conscious awareness of the feet a day & some new shoes can totally change your life👊🏼
