The Health Detective Podcast by Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Reed Davis

On this episode of The Health Detective Podcast, we are priveleged to have the one and only Ben Azadi!
 
 
Ben was one of the first guests we ever had on this show. On the original episode, he talked to us about his main areas of expertise, intermittent fasting and ketosis. This time around, we took a slightly different approach...
 
 
One of the overlapping areas of study that Ben and Detective Ev share a love for is personal development/conscious self-improvement. Since they both believe the concept of healing naturally involves a deep aspect of personal growth, they saw an opportunity to have a conversation around THAT side of healing instead.
 
 
We believe almost anyone can get something from this particular episode, even if you're not quite into the whole "health thing yet." Where you're a seasoned Functional Health Expert or just getting your toes wet with this information, take a listen and let us know what you think :).

If we had a dollar for every time someone signed up for the main FDN course because a random health coaching course they took prior to finding us didn't fit their needs, let's just say we'd be taking some extra staff vacations!
 
Because of this, we said "You know what, there HAS to be a better way..." And POOF! Just like that, we created our Health Coach Mastery program.
 
Health Coach Mastery is FDN's newly released coaching program. As FDN practitioners, we normally consider ourselves to be consultants as opposed to coaches. However, we also recognize the demand and need for the coaching skills side of things. This new program fits those needs perfectly, and it is something that can be taken by anyone interested in this field, regardless of whether or not they've gone through the main FDN program :).

Do you NEED a niche in marketing? Or, a better question... Is it REALLY the most important thing?

Having been a health coach herself, she understands firsthand how confusing the business side can be when you're first getting your business going. We wanted to bring her back on today to help you not overcomplicate things when it comes to the business side of consulting/coaching, AND to lave you with some actionable steps you can start applying immediately. 
 
In addition, we also have a very special announcement... We won't say much about that here, but the title does give it a way a bit.

This is an episode that doesn't need a whole lot of explanation, as the title says it all!
Ever since Detective Ev became a Course Enrollment Advisor again for Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, he was surprised to find people had a lot of the same questions nowadays that they did a couple of years ago when he was in that position. 
Because of this, he made a quick podcast going over some of the most common questions people have about the course. If you'd like something more, you can watch our in-depth course tour where we show you EVERYTHING you need to know about the FDN program by clicking here.

This might be one of the more important podcasts we ever post.
 
Nope, this isn't one of our normal interviews with a health practitioner. In fact, there isn't any new health information at ALL in this one. Today, we needed to talk about something even more important - getting SERIOUS about your life and business.
 
Ever since Detective Ev joined the Course Enrollment team again for FDN, he's been shocked by how many smart, hardworking, knowledgeable people are out there NOT serving large amounts of clients. Although everyone's case and situation is different, he does believe there is one core principle missing in these individuals lives that causes them to either fail in business, or worse yet, never even TRY to have one in the first place.
 
This episode has just a sprinkle or two of tough-love, but we are positive you'll enjoy it if you hear the whole thing out.
 
Let us know what you thought about it, and if you have any questions, feel free to DM us @fdntraining on Instagram. Tell them you heard this podcast.

Detective Ev here. I have to be honest about something right off the bat with this episode of our podcast...
 
When I was sent Steven's media sheet by his scheduler, I didn't immediately register it as anything special. It's not that there was anything wrong with the content, but I saw some things about vitamins and nutrients, as well as how our foods aren't up to par for what we should we be eating. This is Functional Medicine 101, right? Don't we all know this already?
 
In comes Steven Abbey, our guest today.
 
Steven takes nutrition to a whole new level, and he is DEEPLY involved in the science aspect of it all. I found myself pleasently humbled as I interviewed him, as he continued to rattle off things I had never even heard before again and again. Even more important is Steven's heart. I really do mean it when I say that it became quickly apparent to me that this guy is doing this for all the right reasons. His passion is obvious, and he has already done quite well for himself in other unrelated fields. His mission for truth and quality of ingredients is what drives him!
 
I hope you guys and gals enjoy this episode and learn a thing or two. I REALLY enjoyed this one!
