Welcome!
I'm Leslie Owens, a Toxin and Environmental Specialist and Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner. I help parents struggling with fatigue and brain fog uncover and address environmental root causes, such as mold, through holistic and natural approaches so they can be the parent they're proud of!
Has your doctor told you your labs look normal, but you don't feel normal?
Do you feel:
You don't have the energy to spend with your kids, loved ones, or friends?
Your normal, daily activities are a struggle to accomplish much less anything extra for yourself or others?
You can't think straight? Forget things? Have a difficult time with word finding? Is your attention and memory worse than it was?
ACCOMPLISHING HEALTH HOLISTICALLY BY STARTING AT THE ROOT
Functional Health is a holistic discipline that bridges the gap between clinical nutrition and functional medicine. The body subtly alerts us to the imbalances by causing small symptoms (headaches, bloating, gas, brain fog, low energy, etc) that we often brush off as being tired, aging, or a myriad of other things.
Symptoms and imbalances do not happen over night and often have been in progress for a long time.
Many people I work with have spent years going from doctor to doctor to get medications for their symptoms then they have to take more medications to treat the side effects of those medications. It's a hamster wheel.
TREAT ROOT CAUSES, NOT SYMPTOMS
Treating only symptoms is similiar to watering the leaves of a tree rather than the roots. To achieve lasting wellness, it is necessary to identify and treat the hidden root causes. I use functional labs to take a deeper dive into dysfunction that can lead to dis-ease.
TEST. DON'T GUESS.
I am a health detective that uses functional laboratory tests, questionnaires, discussions and observations to help identfy healing opportunities at the root.
YOU ARE UNIQUE
FDN embraces metabolic individuality and provides a lifestyle program that fits your unique needs to foster health and wellness. There is no one size fits all when it comes to health because we are all unique. I use detective work to help uncover your hidden stressors.

FUNDAMENTALS TO HEALTH
DIET
No diet is one size fits all. It's important to discover the right diet for your body type and needs. Food can either be your medicine or your poison; the right foods can heal you.
REST
Poor sleep quality is a direct contributor to metabolic chaos. Sleep treats everything non-specifically.
EXERCISE
The human body is meant to move. Movement, historically, was equivalent to survival. Some benefits include: detoxification, improved circulation and energy, relieves stress and inflammatory resistance, and increases life span. Ensuring you incorporate the right kind of mvoement for you is so important.
STRESS MANAGEMENT & HEALING THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
Stress management and healing the nervous system are critical components to health and wellness. We get stuck in the fight/flight response and this is not a place where we can heal. These are the most important piece of the wellness puzzle.
MENTAL HEALTH & WELLNESS
Carrying negative emotions/ trauma can literally make, or keep a person sick. It is important to take steps to addressing these to find complete wellness.
