What is the purpose of utilizing dietary adjustments in FDN?

Utilizing dietary adjustments in Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) serves the primary purpose of enhancing the body's natural healing processes. This approach recognizes that food is a crucial component of overall health and that making mindful dietary choices can support optimal physiological function. By adopting a nutrition plan that is tailored to individual needs, clients can address imbalances, reduce inflammation, and improve nutrient absorption, thereby promoting the body's innate ability to heal itself.

In FDN, the emphasis is on a holistic perspective that considers how various foods can impact body systems. This includes focusing on nutrient density, food quality, and the balance of macronutrients, rather than imposing restrictions that do not take the body's needs into account.

The other options focus on more restrictive or singular approaches that do not encompass the broader goal of supporting overall health and healing. Restricting calorie intake, avoiding all forms of fat, or solely increasing protein consumption may limit essential nutrients and disregard the diversity of dietary components necessary for comprehensive health and recovery.
