About Ryan
After more than a decade in the functional health space and thousands of labs interpreted, I’ve seen a consistent gap in practitioner education: real-world clinical confidence.
It’s one thing to study theory. It’s another to sit across from a real client, interpret complex lab data, build a protocol that truly addresses the root cause — and deliver lasting results.
That’s where I come in.
I’m Ryan Monahan, Board-Certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P) and Clinical Advisor. Over the past 10 years, I’ve worked directly with hundreds of clients and practitioners, specializing in complex cases involving autoimmunity, thyroid dysfunction, gut health, mold illness, and more. I've also built a six-figure, referral-driven practice — not by chasing social media algorithms or stacking certifications, but by mastering clinical skills, creating real outcomes, and building trust at every level.
Through Functional Fast-Track, I offer personalized 1:1 mentorship to help you fast-track your clinical growth, deepen your confidence, and build a practice that feels aligned, profitable, and sustainable.
​
This mentorship isn’t another course.
It’s not more information to memorize.
It’s about sharpening your thinking, applying functional testing at a high level, getting real-time case support, and growing into the practitioner your clients already believe you can be.
If you're ready to move beyond information overload and start operating with clarity, precision, and confidence — you're in the right place.
​
Let's build it together.
Method
What makes this mentorship different is that I don’t just teach you theory — I help you integrate it. With over a decade of clinical experience and tens of thousands of dollars invested in my own education, I’ve curated what actually works in practice.
My method is built to fast-track your growth, so you can bypass years of trial-and-error and start thinking, interpreting, and showing up like a confident clinician much sooner than I did. This isn’t just about information — it’s about transformation, with real cases, real labs, and real-time support.
Not sure if you’re ready for Functional Fast-Track?
Before diving into a mentorship like FFT, many practitioners find it essential to complete the FDN training first.
The FDN certification program equips you with the foundational skills in lab testing and casework, while FFT is designed to help you build on that foundation - bringing clarity, confidence, and practical application in the real world.
