Frequently Asked Questions

• What is an FDN-P?
  An FDN-P (Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner) is a professionally trained wellness practitioner who uses functional lab testing and personalized health investigation to help identify hidden stressors and imbalances that may be contributing to chronic symptoms and loss of vitality.

  Rather than focusing on isolated symptoms, FDN practitioners look at the body as an interconnected system and use individualized healing opportunities related to diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction, and targeted support.

• Where do we meet?

  My practice is 100% virtual, making it easy and convenient for you to meet with me from the comfort of your home or office. All consultations and follow-up sessions are conducted securely over Zoom.

• Do you take insurance?

  No. Functional Diagnostic Nutrition is an opt-in model of self-care and wellness education. FDN practitioners do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe for medical conditions. Because this is a personalized wellness and educational service rather than conventional medical care, insurance does not apply.

• Have you helped others like me?

  Many people come to Functional Diagnostic Nutrition after feeling frustrated, unheard, or stuck despite trying multiple approaches.
