Ryan is an Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) practitioner, and certified AIP (Autoimmune Paleo Protocol) Coach with a passion for uncovering the "hidden stressors" that contribute to thyroid malfunction. Ryan spent over 10 years visiting more than 40 health professionals to find answers to his chronic health complaints until being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s in 2012.
