Hi, I’m Melissa Scott! As an FDNP (Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner), I help health-minded mid-life individuals access the right lab tests and resources they need to finally understand and address the real root of their health struggles, and feel like themselves again—so they can fully embrace the abundant life the Lord desires for them.

Allow me to tell you a bit about how I got here. Like all of us who have lived a little while on this earth, I have experienced difficulties and stressors in my life which began to affect my physical health several years ago. I have always lived a generally healthy lifestyle, but in the last several years, I have focused even more on natural and holistic health in my own life. However, there was always something missing. Whenever I would search for solutions to my own symptoms over the years such as fatigue, sleep issues, food sensitivities, skin issues, brain fog, anxiety, hormone imbalances, overwhelm, and burnout, among other things, I didn’t find a suggested solution that aimed to improve all the functions in the body at once. Rather, it was standard practice to simply treat each symptom as it appeared. Additionally, when I went to the doctor with such symptoms, they’d run labs and say everything was “normal.” I knew something was off, but I didn’t know how to identify the source of the problems… until I discovered FDN and became a Certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDNP). In my training, I learned that symptoms are not the problem, but they are the result of the problem. If symptoms are left untreated, it is likely they will lead to bigger problems such as diseases. Another key learning is that just because a symptom is common, it doesn’t mean it’s normal!

As an FDNP, my approach is to use functional labs to identify specific healing opportunities within hormones, immune system, digestion, detoxification, energy production, nervous system, and oxidative stress. Then I create a comprehensive customized drugless protocol for the client based on those healing opportunities. When the protocol is implemented, everything is being addressed non-specifically. FDNPs do not diagnose or treat anything specifically, but we work on improving everything non-specifically.

This approach has been life-changing for me as I aim to live life abundantly, and I look forward to helping many others in this aspiration as well! If you have been struggling with frustrating or even debilitating health issues such as fatigue, headaches, digestive problems, weight gain, hormone imbalances, allergies, feelings of depression, anxiety, or overwhelm, eczema, acne, sleep issues, muscle aches, joint pain, or brain fog, to name a few, when your doctor has told you that everything is “normal” with your bloodwork, or you just don’t feel like yourself anymore, feel free to book a discovery call with me to learn more about how I work and how I could help you to feel better and to live life more abundantly!
