Practitioner Spotlight Episode with Ryan Degale Ryan has always been attracted to finding why people have health issues. He has several lifestyle and nutrition coaching certifications where he specializes in corrective exercise and joint spacing to alleviate pain. With ten years of strength coaching under his belt, he enrolled in the FDN Program because he knew that diet and exercise was not enough to reach sustainable health. Ryan enjoys working with those who have joint pain and digestive issues. Personally, his most challenging aspect of the D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success® was stress reduction as he is in a high-profile job. Ryan has learned that starting his clients out slow and emphasizing how important it is to take the supplements correctly and educating them on the “why” helps with retention and compliance. He enjoys doing the detective work and clinical correlation to help people see that their health complaints are not just “in their heads”.

Practitioner Spotlight Episode with Elise Purcell Elise had been practicing Nutritional Counseling for seven years prior to finding FDN.  She found that, though her clients did have significant health success, in more recent years, were starting to present deeper challenges that were not being healed by diet alone.  She yearned to help them find the root cause and avoid the guessing game like she had experienced, thus her journey to FDN began! A major take home from FDN training for Elise is that empowerment is everything!  She feels that if a person knows what’s going on inside their body and why, they are more inspired to make the commitments to improve their health.

Practitioner Spotlight with Carmen Dunn, CNP, FDN-P Carmen experienced a burnout for several years that eventually catapulted her to quit her corporate marketing job and go back to study holistic nutrition.  The resulting effect of burnout left her with severe adrenal dysregulation, as well as, cortisol that was just shy of having Addison’s disease,  a frightening revelation!  During school and after graduation, she did everything under the sun to resolve these health issues.  She worked with Naturopathic instructors, took all the herbal supplements, B vitamins, etc. and yet she still didn’t feel a shift in energy.  This journey ultimately led her to find FDN. Carmen shared a huge take away from her FDN training was the information on stress! She added, it was probably the biggest thing that impacted her practice.  She feels that understanding real and perceived stressors have the same physical impact on the body was a huge shift. This has helped her make the most dramatic educational change with her clients and through her presentations.
