    Feel free to dive right into the first webinar on Lesson 1. Set aside 90 minutes or so, you can stop the video to take note anytime. Sit up straight, stay hydrated, don’t fall asleep :-)

    You will probably want to print out the slides take notes. Click “Lecture Slides Only” and save to your computer.

    You can also download the “Audio Only” files and burn to a disc or Ipod and listen as often as you like.

    You can also print out the “Test Results” files for note taking or just to see them better.

    Get your two personal test kits done as soon as possible. You will receive them within a few days of registering for the FDN Course from FDN Headquarters. Do not use these for your clients.

    You will receive kits for your clients in a separate shipment from BioHealth Laboratory. Inside the US the shipping is free and kits are sent automatically upon registering for the course.

    If you live outside the US, please email BioHealth Client Services at clientservices@biohealthnow.com and pay for the shipping only. Tell them you are a new FDN and want to order your test kits. They know exactly what to send you.*

    Note* Unlicensed providers are limited to receiving test kits for two clients only until you complete the course requirements. Once you complete the course requirements, or upon approval from your FDN Mentor, you may receive as many additional kits as needed for clients.

    Complete all Intake Forms sent to you and send completed forms back as directed. You will receive a set of New Client Intake Forms exclusive to FDN. We cannot proceed with your personal test results consultation unless these are completed and submitted. These forms are included in the course materials along with customized case management forms, liability waivers, and everything Reed developed over the years - no need to invent your own stuff.

    When you submit saliva and urine specimens to the lab (remember, you pay only half price lab fees on the first two personal kits) the lab forwards your test results to our office. Your FDN Mentor will send you a complete interpretive package like with any client. Your FDN Mentor will go over the results with you on the phone or Skype by appointment. Please do not miss any appointments with your Mentor.

    During the personal results session you’ll see and hear, as a client experiences, the logic of the test result interpretation and the reasons for following the recommended protocol. We recommend that every FDN Trainee follow the recommended protocol precisely. This will improve your own health and familiarize you with our preferred product suppliers. (You are not required to buy anything if you do not want to.)

    As for products, you will receive a practitioner account with BioHealth Laboratory, Inc and Ultralife, Inc for all products that we recommend. Trainees who follow the personal protocol recommendations including product purchase will receive a follow up consultation on your own case (highly recommended for many reasons).

    Continue with lessons 1 - 5 while you are getting your personal test kits completed. (Again, submit the saliva and urine samples as soon as possible)

    Do not contact the lab for your personal test results, we will send them to you as soon as we get them. Email Heidi at support@fdnmanager.com or your mentor for more info.

    After completing lesson 1-5, take the mid-term exam (way too easy).

    Make an appointment with your FDN Mentor to complete the “practical exercise” after you have completed lessons 1 - 5 and have had your personal test results session. The practical exercise is a chance to practice delivery of test results consult in a safe environment. It is not a graded test.

    The links to Lessons 6 - 10 are activated only after you have completed lessons 1 - 5 and taken the mid-tern exam. You’ll love the functional approach we take in these lessons.

    Choose two clients or patients to do the required BH205 and BH101 test kits. Dispense the kits to them and collect your fees. Do NOT ask anyone to “Do me a favor and complete these labs.” You are the one that is doing them a favor by selecting them to go through this amazing process. You are entitled to get paid, even if you only choose to charge them a small fee at first. Make sure they understand that they also have to pay the lab fees direct to the lab. Once they complete the labs you will receive the test results from the lab.

    You will prepare an interpretation and protocol and go over them with your mentor before presenting a report to your client or patient. Your mentor will help you fine tune your interpretation and protocol. If you absolutely cannot find two clients who will pay you a small fee, plus pay the lab fees of course, then you can ask your family or friends.

    There are a total of 10 power packed webinars to attend. Each session is 90 - 120 minutes and full of practical “what to do” and “how to do it” training. These are available to you any time, day or night.

    To get the most out of the FDN Course, so that you do not have to rely so much on personal experience, it is important to listen to the recorded Case Histories. Listening to these recordings and the Fantastic Friday Teleconferences is the best way to become an FDN practitioner. There are also a number of recorded examples of how to do a “telephone intake.” If you want to build a successful FDN practice, learn to work on the phone!

    As for getting new clients and dispensing kits, that’s where the rubber meets the road and how you will build your practice. As mentioned, the FDN Course requires that you work with two clients and go over the test results consultation and protocols with your FDN Mentor. Unlicensed providers will only receive enough kits for two clients until they have completed the FDN Course or with approval of their FDN Mentor.

    Join in the fun and family that includes FDNs in over 35 countries now! You are invited to present a case study to the Fantastic Friday Teleconference call with the advisory board. Submit your request to your FDN Mentor. It’s a gas!

    Much more to come… enjoy!
