| 6/18/26 | 5 Years of Acid Reflux & Stomach Pain, Gone: The Root Cause Her Doctors Kept Missing | In this episode of The Health Detective Podcast, host Michele Scarlet talks with Functional Diagnostic Nutrition practitioner Jessica Washington, founder of The Gut Healing Ninja, about the real root causes behind chronic acid reflux, heartburn, bloating, nausea, and stomach pain. After five years of failed PPIs, restrictive low FODMAP diets, a SIBO label, and an H. pylori test that came back negative, Jessica finally got answers through functional lab work, including the GI Map. The conversation covers why upper-gut symptoms like reflux and gastritis often start outside the stomach, why a negative H. pylori test does not always mean you are in the clear, what standard testing misses, and the gut-brain connection that keeps so many people stuck in symptom-management mode. If you have been searching for the root cause of your reflux or heartburn, or you are a health coach or practitioner curious about functional lab testing and the FDN approach, this episode is for you. | 30m 54s | ||||||
| 6/11/26 | Why Health Coaches Need More Than Functional Medicine | Reed Davis Explains FDN | Reed Davis, founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN), joins Michele Scarlet to discuss why true Root Cause Healing requires more than diagnoses, supplements, biohacks, or symptom-focused protocols. Reed shares the origins of FDN, explains the concept of Metabolic Chaos, and breaks down the D.R.E.S.S. framework Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress Reduction, and Supplementation as the foundation for lasting health transformation. Together, they explore Functional Lab Testing, hidden stressors, Natural Healing, peptides, biohacking, and why practitioners must focus on healing principles rather than chasing symptoms. This episode is essential listening for Health Coaches, Functional Health Practitioners, alternative medicine practitioners, and anyone interested in Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, Functional Wellness, and building a successful root-cause-focused health practice. | 45m 15s | ||||||
| 6/4/26 | Don't Wait Until You Graduate: Build Your FDN Client Waitlist Now | Most new FDN Practitioners believe they need to wait until certification before they can start attracting clients. In this episode, Jenn Malecha explains why building a successful practice starts long before graduation. Michele Scarlet and Jenn discuss how FDN trainees, Health Coaches, and Functional Health Practitioners can begin creating visibility, building trust, and developing a client waitlist while still completing their Practitioner Training. From leveraging your own health journey and Functional Lab Testing experience to using authentic conversations, referral partnerships, and discovery calls, this episode offers practical strategies for client acquisition without relying on complicated marketing systems. If you’re wondering how to get your first clients, build confidence, and transition smoothly from certification into practice, this conversation is packed with actionable business insights for growing a thriving Functional Health business. | 43m 35s | ||||||

This episode covers the functional labs that finally explained her symptoms, the gut and hormone findings behind her joint pain and skin issues, the impact of 20 plus years of night shift on her cortisol, and why she chose to keep working in the ER while building a functional nursing practice on the side.

| 4/23/26 | Parasites Aren’t the Root Cause: What Practitioners Are Missing | Parasites, bacterial overgrowth, and gut infections are often treated as the starting point of dysfunction, but what if they're not? In this episode, Michele breaks down a clinical perspective on gut health that goes beyond identifying pathogens and focuses on the environment that allows them to exist. You’ll hear how practitioners can get pulled into marker-based thinking, why validation matters without over-identifying the problem, and how poor sequencing can lead to stalled progress or recurring symptoms. This episode also explores the concept of capacity through the lens of the Vital Reserve, and why antimicrobial protocols require more from the body than we often consider. If you’ve had cases that improve but don’t hold, or clients who react poorly to the “right” protocol, this will help you think more clearly about timing, readiness, and the bigger picture.

| 4/17/26 | Why Injuries Keep Coming Back | A Root Cause Approach to Chronic Pain | Chronic pain that keeps coming back isn’t random, and it’s rarely just about the injury itself. In this episode, Michele sits down with movement specialist Helen Hall to break down why so many people stay stuck in cycles of chronic pain, recurring injuries, and failed rehab. From an FDN perspective, we talk about hidden stressors in the body; the things most practitioners aren’t measuring, including movement inefficiencies, compensation patterns, and how the body adapts under stress. Helen shares how posture, gait, and movement patterns can quietly drive inflammation, overload the system, and prevent true healing, especially in clients who feel like they’ve already tried everything. If you’re a practitioner, or someone dealing with chronic pain, tightness, or recurring injuries, this episode will completely shift how you look at the body.Connect with Helen Hall:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/helenhallpfm/ Website: https://www.helen-hall.co.uk/ | 46m 25s | ||||||

Dr. Shivani’s journey into wellness began with her own battle with chronic illness—an experience that led her to Ayurveda and ultimately transformed her life.

| 2/12/26 | Mold Illness is Why My Health Fell Apart w/ Katie Poterala | What happens when your body begins to fail—and no one can tell you why? In this powerful episode of The Health Detective Podcast, Katie shares her deeply personal health journey through sudden illness, mold exposure, and the long road back to healing. What started as an unexplainable health collapse quickly became a life-altering wake-up call—one that forced her to become her own #1 advocate. At the time, Katie was juggling a brand-new baby and running a busy retail jewelry store she had just opened in downtown Greenville, South Carolina. Despite the obvious stressors, the severity and speed of her illness didn’t make sense. Traditional medicine offered endless testing, referrals, medications, and even repeat surgeries—but no real answers, no roadmap, and no explanation for why her body was responding the way it was. Refusing to accept a life of unanswered questions, Katie dove headfirst into functional medicine, investing countless hours, resources, and education to uncover the root cause of her symptoms. Along the way, she discovered that there is always a reason the body responds the way it does—and that healing is possible when you find the right method and the right help.

| 2/9/26 | The Truth About Melasma: A Metabolic Condition in Disguise w/ Ariana Juarez | Is melasma really a skin problem—or is it your body asking for help? In this episode of The Health Detective Podcast, Detective Ev sat down with Ariana Juarez, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P) and founder of Alura Wellness, to uncover the truth behind chronic hyperpigmentation and melasma. If you’ve tried creams, lasers, peels, or prescriptions—only to see dark patches return—this conversation explains why those approaches so often fail. Ariana breaks down melasma as a metabolic skin condition, not a cosmetic flaw. Rather than being something to “cover up” or burn away, melasma is a visible signal of deeper internal imbalance involving hormones, blood sugar regulation, inflammation, detox pathways, and nutrient status. When those drivers aren’t addressed, surface-level treatments can’t create lasting change. The good news? Melasma is reversible when you understand what your skin is communicating and address the root cause. Ariana shares how her functional approach helps clients reverse melasma, slow accelerated aging, and restore skin health by supporting the body as a whole—not fighting it.

| 1/29/26 | Why Meds Aren’t the Answer—And What Is w/ Alisa Berteau | In this episode, Detective Ev sits down with Alisa, a Doctor of Pharmacy with over 25 years of experience who made the courageous leap from conventional medicine into the world of functional health. After years of dispensing medications to manage symptoms, Alisa began to question the system—and her role in it. What she discovered changed everything. Alisa opens up about her personal and professional journey, including the stress, burnout, and gut health crisis that led to an emergency room visit in 2023. That wake-up call forced her to prioritize her own health and ultimately guided her toward becoming a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) Practitioner. Today, she’s on a mission to help others understand how deeply lifestyle choices impact the body—and how true healing happens when we address root causes, not just diagnoses. This conversation explores the powerful shift from a pharmaceutical mindset to a functional, lifestyle-based approach, emphasizing how everything in the body is connected. Alisa breaks down why focusing on DRESS (Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress Reduction, and Supplementation) is foundational for long-term health and why having real data about how your body is functioning can be truly life-changing.
