An FDN-P is trained to use functional lab testing and a whole-person assessment to identify areas of imbalance in the body, then guide clients through personalized nutrition and lifestyle changes. It's an educational, wellness-focused role — not a medical one.

Conventional labs are designed to detect disease, so results are often 'normal' until a problem is advanced. Functional tests look at how well systems are working and where they're under stress, which can explain symptoms that standard results don't.

Not at all. My work complements your medical care. I don't diagnose, treat or prescribe, and I encourage you to keep your healthcare providers involved — especially before changing any medication.

Sessions are virtual, so you can work with me from anywhere in the U.S. Most lab kits are shipped to your home and returned by mail.

Every body is different. Some clients notice changes within weeks; deeper patterns can take a few months. Your plan is built in phases so you can see and feel progress along the way.

Functional wellness services and most functional lab tests are typically not covered by insurance. Some clients use HSA or FSA funds — check with your plan administrator.

We talk about what's going on, what you've tried and what you want to feel like. I'll explain how I work, answer your questions and recommend a next step — with no pressure.
