An FDNP is an expertly trained “health detective” who uses a series of functional lab tests to help clients uncover the hidden causes of their chronic health issues. I am a Certified FDN Practitioner.
I do not accept insurance. Functional Diagnostic Nutrition is an opt-in model of self-care. As we are not physicians and we do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe, we do not take insurance. My goal is to make functional health care affordable and accessible to as many as possible. Many clients are able to use FSA or HSA funds for testing.
My practice is virtual or in-person- virtual makes it easy for you to meet with me from your home or office! Our sessions will be conducted over Practice Better Video or via telephone. For in-person sessions in Bluffton, SC we will meet at the Holistic Wellness & Detox Center!
I start with a Comprehensive Blood Panel & Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) for all clients. This gives us our Foundations! From there, we can use GI MAP stool testing and DUTCH testing to dig deeper into gut & hormone health. I also offer a Micronutrient Panel, Organic Acids Testing, Full Thyroid Panel, MRT Food Sensitivity, Vibrant Total Tox Burden & more!
I use advanced lab testing to assess how different systems in your body – like hormones, immune function, detoxification, digestion, and more – are performing. Unlike standard labs your doctor orders, which primarily screen for disease, I dig deeper to uncover underlying imbalances and dysfunctions. If you already have lab results from your doctor, I encourage you to submit them with your intake paperwork so we can incorporate them into your personalized case review.
While your primary care provider plays an important role, their focus is different from mine. I specialize in using advanced lab testing to uncover hidden imbalances and areas of dysfunction that may be contributing to your symptoms. From there, I design personalized, lab-guided protocols to support your body’s healing and help you reach optimal health and wellness.
Think of me as your health detective – digging deeper and looking for the clues behind what’s really going on. I dedicate a great deal of time and care to building your plan, but your results ultimately depend on the effort you put into following the protocol. Together, we make the progress possible.
