What is Functional Diagnostic Nutrition®?-CFSB Wellness Wednesday

Over the past year, I’ve been pursuing my Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® certification, and I’m very happy to say that we now officially offer Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® services here at CrossFit South Bend!

What is Functional Diagnostic Nutrition®?

Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® is a type of detective work that seeks to identify the underlying causes of disease instead of treating symptoms. Using functional lab work, we identify healing opportunities and engage each client in a health building process using the potent, proven, professional protocols in our D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success® program. This includes Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress Reduction, and Supplements. This natural, holistic approach yields the highest level of positive clinical outcomes. We don’t medicate, we educate!

Over the coming weeks and months, we’ll be introducing you to the different ways that Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® can help you get back to the point where you’re kicking ass at life (i.e., optimal health), as I put it in a previous video.

In this week’s video, we’re talking about the difference between conventional medicine and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition®. We explain how, for acute conditions, conventional medicine is the absolute best approach. However, we’ll also talk about how conventional medicine tends to not do so well at dealing with long term chronic health issues. Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® excels, in a way in which conventional medicine does not, at restoring your body to optimal health.
