What is Functional Diagnostic Nutrition®?

Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) is a science-backed, whole-body approach to identifying hidden stressors and restoring health from the ground up.

Using detailed clinical assessments, functional lab testing, and the trademarked D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success® protocol, FDN practitioners don’t chase symptoms. We uncover the underlying dysfunctions—what we call Metabolic Chaos®—that are disrupting your body’s ability to thrive.

What is Metabolic Chaos®?

It’s the name we give to your unique constellation of symptoms that arise when chronic stress overwhelms your body. That stress might be emotional, environmental, physical, pathogenic—or all of the above. Every body is different, and stress shows up differently for each of us.

But here's the truth: your symptoms are not your problem. They are messengers—warning bells—telling you that something is off. And when you learn how to listen, they become the key to your healing.

The Problem with the Mainstream

Ever had a headache and thought, “I’ve got things to do—I’ll just take something for it and move on”?

We’ve all done it. But that pill didn’t address the cause—just silenced the alarm. And maybe that headache was your liver asking for help. Maybe next it’s fatigue. Or skin issues. Or monthly misery that gets chalked up to “just hormones.” Over time, the stress burden snowballs, your symptoms pile up—and you’re left wondering where your health went.

Meanwhile, the conventional model says:

• Symptom ➜ Test ➜ Diagnosis ➜ Drug ➜ Lifetime of “management” & side effects

It’s a cycle of Band-Aids and insurance codes that never addresses why you’re unwell.

The Functional Difference

Here’s where FDN flips the script.

We zoom out and look at your body as an interconnected system—not as separate parts. We use functional lab testing and detailed assessments to uncover how your body is handling stress and where function has broken down. From there, we build a personalized protocol designed to restore that function—not suppress your symptoms.

We don’t diagnose disease.
We don’t treat conditions.
We build health.

When your body isn’t stuck in survival mode, it can finally do what it was designed to do: heal.

Your Healing is Not Just About Supplements

Healing isn’t something you can buy in a bottle. Supplements are tools—not solutions. Your true medicine lives in your daily choices, your environment, your relationships, and how you respond to the stress in your life.

The D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success® framework focuses on:

• Diet

• Rest

• Exercise

• Stress Reduction

• Supplementation

We work together to identify what’s weighing your body down and remove it—so your innate healing can rise to the surface.

Because if we don’t prioritize wellness, we leave space for illness.

My Philosophy

Our bodies already know how to heal.
We just have to stop getting in the way.

I’m here to guide you—to help you clear the path, rebuild the foundation, and reconnect with your body’s wisdom.

Are you ready to listen to what your symptoms are really trying to tell you? I can help.
