Does being an FDN practitioner mean every little health symptom you've ever had has to be perfect? Absolutely not. What it DOES mean is that you are someone who will continuously "walk the walk" of being healthy. It means you will never give up trying new things until you get the results you want. It also means you are willing to do whatever you can to help others along their own healing journey. Our guest today, Tina Haupert, is a PERFECT example of all of this!
 
Tina diagnosed with ulcerative colitis over a decade ago, which was particularly surprising to her since she engaged in many "healthy" lifestyle habits. While she did what she could for the diagnosis at the time, in the back of her head, she also knew that what she had been told was a bit scary, and as a result, it didn't quite get the attention that it deserved.
 
Fast-forward several years, and the symptoms got bad enough that Tina could no longer pretend it would one day go away on it's own. Worse yet, she started dealing with a myriad of other symptoms, too, ones that are not too dissimilar from many of the ones our other guests have experienced. It was at that point that she knew some MAJOR changes needed to occur.
 
As of today, Tina has been an FDNP for 4 years and has a thriving practice. She feels significantly better, and has managed to get her UC into remission through a combination of lifestyle changes and medication. It is also worth noting that she is still progressing on her healing journey, so who knows what a couple more years will bring?
