What Does Testing For HIDDEN Stressors Mean? - Intro to FDN Series w/ Detective Ev
from The Health Detective Podcast by Functional Diagnostic Nutrition · host Reed Davis
In this episode, we are continuing our “Intro to FDN” series! Please make sure you’re listening in order so that everything makes sense. Here is the link to the FIRST episode of the series where we discuss the ONLY “diagnosis” FDN practitioners hand out, metabolic chaos: https://spotify.link/Zd5OlSW03Bb And here is the link to the SECOND episode where we discuss FDN’s trademarked “DRESS” protocol: https://spotify.link/hjeSHPTZ8Bb Today, we are discussing most people’s favorite part: the labs! Unlike many other functional practitioners, FDNs always start with the same set of labs on every client. You can remember these tests with the acronym HIDDEN, which stands for hormones, immune system, digestion, detoxification, energy production and nervous system. These labs were not chosen randomly or on a whim. They were carefully selected after the founder of FDN, Reed Davis, ran over 11,000 labs on clients in his own practice. After listening, we think it will be crystal clear as to how and why we still use this particular set of labs to this day. As always, if you have any follow-up questions, reach out to us @fdntraining on Instagram to talk to one of our staff members! Alternatively, you can book a call with Ev or one of the other Course Advisors anytime by going to FDNtraining.com/call. Where to find FDN: Find all our free resources, workshops, and other channels at fdntraining.com/resources.
