What Diet Does FDN Teach: Summary
“What Diet Does FDN Teach” delves into the dietary principles taught by Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) to its practitioners. The hosts emphasize a balanced approach that does not strictly adhere to any specific dietary theory like veganism or keto, but rather focuses on whole foods that look like foods and avoids processed items. They discuss the importance of including animal products, citing ancestral diets as instrumental for gut healing, and how different diets can play a role depending on the individual’s needs and health conditions.
The podcast also explores metabolic typing, a concept that categorizes individuals into mixed, slow, or fast oxidizers, to determine the best food pairings and macronutrient ratios for each person. The hosts share their personal experiences with various diets and the significance of food sensitivity testing, particularly the MRT test, in identifying specific food reactions that could hinder health. They stress that bad foods are universally bad, but good foods are only beneficial to some, emphasizing personalized dietary plans.
Finally, the episode highlights the modern challenges associated with plant-based diets due to soil depletion and toxin absorption in the current agricultural environment. They address the need for temporary dietary restrictions for conditions like Candida overgrowth and the importance of context-specific adjustments. The hosts underscore that their approach promotes intuitive and evidence-based dietary practices, considering the individual’s metabolic type, sensitivities, and current health realities, to guide people towards optimal health.
