upcoming FREE event – Holistic Health Week (April 22 – 26)
FDN has been working hard for the last few months to put it together Holistic Health Week concentrating over 25 leaders in the health field and share their expertise in every field of holistic health. Attendees will be immersed in a series of enlightening talks. This is the FDN version of a “meeting” and we want you to be a part of it!
What time does each day start?
The first speaker will light up at 10am. EST daily (Monday-Friday) until the LIVE Q&A from 5 to 6 p.m. EST.
I can’t do it LIVE every session. Will there be repeats?
Your free ticket does not include access to replays. However, if you upgrade to VIP after to get your free ticket, you will have permanent access to every talk! We recommend this so you can refer back to these conversations whenever you want.
How can I watch the live events?
All participants will be provided with a website link to a “watch page” where you can experience the events live as they happen. If you’re a VIP cardholder, in addition to live access, you’ll also have the privilege of watching replays at your convenience on the FDNConnect website, ensuring you don’t miss a single moment.
Who is speaking at the event?
We have a mix of FDNPs and other holistic health specialists who are at the top of their field! Click here to see the full line-up.
I’m not a health coach or professional – is this event about me?
Yes! This event is for those who love holistic health. It’s a 5 day powered by education that gives you the knowledge of advanced practices that work to build better health today. And if you’re still curious about becoming an FDN-P, you’ll have plenty of information about our approach. Grab a front row seat.
Habits: Summary
Speaking of habits, guest Matty Lansdown, a scientist and nutritionist who specializes in emotional eating and self-sabotage coaching, shares his thoughts on the importance of mindset and behavior change in maintaining healthy habits. Beginning his career in nutritional epigenetics and disease research, Matty’s personal growth journey led him to realize the importance of addressing psychological factors in eating habits. She emphasizes that overcoming emotional overeating and binge eating is less about the food itself and more about managing one’s relationship with food.
Matty’s approach to health and nutrition focuses on understanding the underlying psychological drivers of unhealthy eating habits. He discusses the role of personal trauma and the impact of social pressures on eating behaviors, illustrating this with his own battles with sugar addiction and emotional eating. Through his work, Matty aims to help individuals uncover the deep-rooted issues that prevent them from adopting healthier lifestyles, stressing that nutrition knowledge is widespread, but the challenge lies in changing mindsets and behaviours.
The discussion also delves into practical advice for health professionals on addressing the psychological aspects of eating habits with their clients. Matty suggests exploring clients’ past experiences and habits to identify patterns that may be contributing to their current health problems. By integrating psychological understanding with nutritional advice, practitioners can more effectively guide their clients toward sustainable health improvements. Matty’s message is clear: addressing the psychological basis of eating habits is key to achieving lasting health and wellness.
