FULLY Customizable Meditations For You and Your Clients w/ David Gull
While some of us probably feel a bit weird about the whole artificial intelligence thing, there is no doubt a time and place for everything. Our guest today on The Health Detective Podcast, David Gull, came up with one of the best and most interesting uses of AI that we've ever seen!
If you've ever done a guided meditation, you might have found that some of them fit you perfectly while others didn't seem to quite work. But what if each and every guided meditation was completely custom to your unique situation in any given moment? That is exactly what David's app, Ogimi, is able to do :).
This is one you'll just have to listen to in order to wrap your head around it. Please let us know what you think about this excellent use of tech!!!
David Gull is a tech entrepreneur founder, a licensed architect, and a creator. He thrives on designing and building new products.
David is currently Co-founder & CEO of Ogimi, the first AI Meditation Coach. With Ogimi, he is mission driven, with the goal of helping 1B people fix their mental health through highly personalized daily meditation practice. Meditation has been deeply meaningful to David since he started the practice 15 years ago when he hit the point of burnout early in his architecture career. He knows that if he can help others create and deepen a meditation practice to explore their inner world, he will have made the world a better place. You can try the app for free at www.ogimi.ai

Build CONFIDENCE In Your Health Coach Sales Process w/ Hailey Rowe
Today on The Health Detective Podcast, we have brought back an individual whose episode holds a place in our top 10 most downloaded episodes ever, Hailey Rowe!
Interestingly, despite us being a podcast primarily about health, Hailey's biz tips for health coaches and functional practitioners have completely won over our audience. Last time, we talked more about entrepreneurship in a general sense. This time, though, we are talking about what sales IS and ISN'T (hint: it should NEVER be lying or manipulating), as well as how you can instantly develop more confidence on your sales calls.
The reason Hailey is qualified to talk about these things is because of her extensive history in the marketing and sales space 🙂. You can read more about her impressive background below:
About Hailey:
Hailey is a Marketing & Sales Coach/Consultant & Linkedin Lead Generation Service Provider.
She helps health coaches and functional wellness professionals build their client attraction process, develop their no-brainer offers, & grow their impact locally and online. She shares her F.A.S.T. framework, marketing, and business tips on her Health Coach Nation Podcast & in her FREE Marketing Hub Facebook Group.
She’s also been named as one of the Top 25 Coaches in Chicago & one of the Top 6 business podcasts for health coaches. Since 2010, Hailey has worked in the coaching industry & in business development/marketing for startups. Hailey’s philosophy: You can have an amazing service and impact to make, but without a strong mindset, and sales and marketing plan, your business will remain a hobby.

Biocanic: The BEST Software For Streamlining Your Health Coaching Biz? w/Jeremy Malecha
LOOKING FOR THE YOUTUBE VERSION? https://youtu.be/COHLceJfxhg
On today's episode of The Health Detective Podcast, we are interviewing Jeremy Malecha, CEO and Founder of Biocanic. Jeremy is actually the husband to Jenn Malecha, someone we've had on the show multiple times (AND she also happens to be the person who introduced our host, Evan Transue, to the world of FDN to begin with).
Jeremy has over 20 years of healthcare and software related experience. Prior to Biocanic, he was the Vice President of Strategy in ResMed’s SaaS Business. Across his 10+ year career at ResMed he also held senior leadership roles overseeing global product management across the product portfolio and was the lead person behind the conceptualization and launch of the ResMed digital health ecosystem. Today, Jeremy is a catalyst for building a new integrative medicine marketplace rooted in the power of health intelligence and consumer advocacy so society can take back control of their health and wellness in a post pandemic world. He holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering from Northwestern University in addition to multiple patents in signal processing for medical applications.
If you have any questions about how Biocanic compares to another software you might be using, please reach out to them on Instagram @biocanic. Alternatively, you can visit their website at www.biocanic.com

Got IBS? No problem! w/ Kim Del Castillo, FDNP
Is it really possible that the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition certification program is as good as creating careers as it is solving complex health issues? The answer is absolutely YES, and graduates like Kim prove that for us every day.
Kim Del Castillo, FDNP, had been homeschooling her kids while also dealing with VERY annoying health symptoms such as IBS. She even said to us in this episode that it got bad enough to where she couldn't go ANYWHERE without knowing where the bathroom was/would be.
Nowadays, her kids are older and Kim has never felt better. She has a thriving FDN practice, works the hours she wants to, and best yet, she's making a real impact helping people!
Thank you so much to Kim for leading by example and showing others what is possible with the FDN system. We also appreciate how transparently and openly you shared your story, as THAT is what others truly relate to and benefit from 🙂.

Personal Responsibility - Your ONLY TICKET To Healing w/ Ben Azadi, Founder of Keto Kamp, FDNP
On this episode of The Health Detective Podcast, we are priveleged to have the one and only Ben Azadi!
Ben was one of the first guests we ever had on this show. On the original episode, he talked to us about his main areas of expertise, intermittent fasting and ketosis. This time around, we took a slightly different approach...
One of the overlapping areas of study that Ben and Detective Ev share a love for is personal development/conscious self-improvement. Since they both believe the concept of healing naturally involves a deep aspect of personal growth, they saw an opportunity to have a conversation around THAT side of healing instead.
We believe almost anyone can get something from this particular episode, even if you're not quite into the whole "health thing yet." Where you're a seasoned Functional Health Expert or just getting your toes wet with this information, take a listen and let us know what you think :).

About Ben:
Ben Azadi, FDN-P, is on a mission to help 1 billion people live a healthier lifestyle. Ben is the author of four best-selling books, The Perfect Health Booklet, The Intermittent Fasting Cheat Sheet, The Power of Sleep, and Keto Flex. Ben has been a go-to source for intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet. He is known as ‘The Health Detective’ because he investigates dysfunction, and EDUCATES (not medicates) to bring the body back to normal function.

Our NEW Health Coach Mastery Program w/ Dr. Lori Rose, PhD, FDN-P, AHG, NBC-HWC
If we had a dollar for every time someone signed up for the main FDN course because a random health coaching course they took prior to finding us didn't fit their needs, let's just say we'd be taking some extra staff vacations!
Because of this, we said "You know what, there HAS to be a better way..." And POOF! Just like that, we created our Health Coach Mastery program.
Health Coach Mastery is FDN's newly released coaching program. As FDN practitioners, we normally consider ourselves to be consultants as opposed to coaches. However, we also recognize the demand and need for the coaching skills side of things. This new program fits those needs perfectly, and it is something that can be taken by anyone interested in this field, regardless of whether or not they've gone through the main FDN program :).
If you're still a bit confused after listening to this, feel free to book a call with one of our Course Enrollment Advisors. Go to fdntraining.com/call.
About Dr. Lori:
Lori Valentine Rose, PhD, is a board certified nutrition professional (CNP), board certified holistic nutrition consultant (BCHN), certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Practitioner (FDN-P), board registered herbalist (RH-AHG), board certified wellness coach (NBC-HWC), teacher, wife, and mom. She is a passionate student of nutrition, herbalism, spirituality, and pretty much anything that makes our minds, bodies, souls, and planet a better place to inhabit. She has taught biology and nutrition at a local community college for around ten years, and has been back-yard organic gardening for around five years, in addition to pursuing clinical herbalism for several years.
