What aspect does the FDN program emphasize in client care?

The FDN program emphasizes overall metabolic health, which is a comprehensive approach to understanding and supporting a client's well-being. This perspective is rooted in the belief that numerous factors—such as nutrition, lifestyle, stress management, and hormonal balance—interact to influence metabolic processes.

By focusing on overall metabolic health, practitioners can assess how various systems in the body interact and affect each other. This holistic view allows for a more targeted and effective approach to health and wellness, recognizing that improvements in one area can positively impact other areas. Furthermore, understanding metabolic health helps practitioners identify underlying dysfunctions, rather than merely treating symptoms. This thorough assessment and intervention strategy aligns with FDN's mission to promote long-lasting health and vitality in their clients.

While nutrition, physical exercise, and mental health are all significant components of a person's health, they are not the only focus within the FDN framework. Instead, these aspects are integrated within the broader context of metabolic health, allowing for a more effective and sustainable approach to achieving optimal wellness.
