“Once I met Christian Yordanov I almost immediately ditched my doctors in the United States and now exclusively use him to help me manage and monitor my health. We started by running a diagnostic test and as a result we changed up my diet, added supplements specifically targeting my needs, did a detox flush, and I now feel better at 50 than I did when I was 25 years old. I quite literally trust Christian with my life at this point.“
– Charlie Robinson, No.1 Best-selling Author & Host of the Macroaggressions Podcast

There is a right and wrong way to address them
The wrong way: Modern medicine, while amazing at emergency care, is woefully inadequate when it comes to complex chronic health issues. It seeks only to diagnose diseases and “manage” them by masking or suppressing their symptoms. The problem with this approach is that if you only mask the symptom of a deeper problem, the underlying issue continues to fester. This will almost invariably lead to further metabolic complications down the road. This is the paradigm that most of us were taught since we were little, hence most of us think there is no alternative. It makes a lot of profit for companies selling symptom-masking chemicals, but if you check the chronic disease statistics, nearly all of them are continuing to increase.
The right way: Once you understand the functional paradigm, it will seem so logical and simple. When you see the term “functional”, it generally refers to the methodology we use to address our chronic health issues. It is a holistic approach that focuses on investigating and identifying the underlying metabolic impediments and challenges in the body that are contributing to the health problem/s.
Imagine this scenario: You start your car and it begins beeping and the “check engine” light is flashing. What is your first thought? You will probably think that there is something wrong with the engine and someone competent needs to figure what the issue is and fix it. Now, if you took your car to the mechanic, and he put some tape over the flashing light and pulled out the wire connected to the beeping speaker to silence the noise, would you be satisfied with the service you received? No! You would think your mechanic is insane or is playing a practical joke on you. You understand full well that the light and noise are symptoms of an underlying problem. They are information. They are telling you, “Something is wrong with me, figure out what it is and fix it.” And you know that if you don’t address the problem soon, the car’s function may deteriorate further or it may breakdown completely, leaving you stranded on the road.
Most people today spend more money and take better care of their cars than they do their own health. Is it any wonder we have a chronic disease crisis of such epic proportions on our hands?
What is the solution? In a word: education. I will teach how to restore your health and protect it by giving you the skills and knowledge you need to thrive amidst our modern challenges.
A fundamental principle you need to understand is that “disease” doesn’t just randomly develop in a person. It has specific direct and indirect causes or contributors. While genetics play a role, it is only a minor one. Our behaviour and environment (which includes many factors within our control) are by far the biggest contributors to our state of health or ill-health. The below graphic illustrates it well:
As you can see, many influences can contribute to a health issue – including inadequate nutrition, gut imbalances, increased toxic burden, and psychological and physiological stress (all of which are extremely common today; many of my clients experience all of them when we start working together). These, in turn, can drive immune system dysregulation, inflammation, oxidative stress, and hormonal imbalances that can further push the person into a state of metabolic derangement, dysfunction, and degeneration.
While it is important to understand the problems we’re trying to solve (and there are many challenges in our modern environment), my approach is very much focused on solutions.

My functional approach
1. Identify imbalances across all body systems through functional lab testing, metabolic function assessment, observation, conversation, and survey of your nutrition, lifestyle, environment, and stressors.
2. Address imbalances (instead of trying to suppress symptoms) with a customised and comprehensive natural approach that covers gut balancing, detoxification, stress reduction, diet, supplementation, sleep and light hygiene, EMF amelioration, and other areas as needed.
3. Correct course and overcome challenges that arise with ongoing consultation sessions, chat support, and audio and video resources. Re-test and amend protocols where necessary.
Based on your needs, the functional lab testing we can leverage includes:
- Organic acids (checks for gut dysbiosis, yeast/fungal overgrowth, oxalates, nutrient deficiencies, antioxidant status, mitochondrial health, neurotransmitters, and more)
- Sex and adrenal hormones (cortisol daily rhythm, androgens, estrogens, and various organic acids for nutrients, neurotransmitters, DNA damage, etc.)
- Stool testing (allows us to asses the gut for imbalances/dysbiosis, pathogenic bacteria/parasites/protozoa, yeast overgrowth, and various intestinal health markers)
- Hair mineral analysis (mineral status, toxic metals)
- Food sensitivities
- In rare complex cases more advanced lab tests can be utilised (e.g. mold or chemical toxicity, autoimmune antibodies, neurotransmitters, etc.)
We work with best labs in the world to facilitate the data gathering process according to client needs. Lab tests are shipped direct to your door, collected at your convenience at home, and picked up by courier. We try to get away with as little testing as possible so that you can invest your resources in high-quality food, supplements, and other important areas. If you can get blood work done for free or cheaply through your insurance or local clinic, we can pair that with one or two tests that give us a wide view into metabolic function. In most cases this will give us plenty of data with which to work. Naturally, more complex cases may require deeper investigation, but again, we’ll try to be as economical as possible. More information and sample reports can be found under the menu Lab Testing on this website.
“I came across Christian when he was a guest on a podcast I was listening to. I’ve been working with Christian for nearly 10 months. When I started working with Christian I felt so hopeless, I had so many symptoms for 10+ years, I really had no idea what was going on. I just knew I wasn’t well. The term holistic gets thrown around too often, however Christian truly works this way.
Every area of my life has improved including my sleep, digestion, skin, energy and periods. Christian has helped me through functional testing and supplementation. However, the greatest thing I have taken away is simple everyday skills to manage my own health through diet, supplements and lifestyle. Christian has taught me how to manage my own health and be self sufficient.”

What your customised health-building protocols will address
When designing protocols tailored to your needs, our overall goals are to:
- Identify and eliminate hidden sources of inflammation (there is a lot of them in the modern world)
- Address overt/sub-clinical nutrient deficiencies/insufficiencies
- Improve gut and liver function while addressing dysbiosis
- Balance sex and adrenal hormones
- Enhance detoxification
- Reduce (or mitigate) stress (psychological and physiological)
- Optimise mitochondrial function (i.e. energy production)
- Improve the diet (a major source of toxic exposure and inflammation for many people)
- Reduce other toxic exposures
- Optimise sleep and recovery
- Mitigate EMF radiation exposure
- Enhance cognitive function
Of course, I’m not just going to give you some custom protocols – I will guide you through the process and help you where you need it. We’ll meet at least once per month and stay in touch via chat to help you troubleshoot any setbacks and make sure you can create the lifestyle and habits that will elevate your health to new levels. Everyone’s needs are different – some folks need a lot of help early on in the program but quickly establish the new routines, others need no “hand-holding” between our sessions, and with some it varies based on changing jobs, careers, starting to homeschool, a changing travel schedule, and so on. The important part is you will have me to support you no matter what challenges are thrown your way.
No cookie-cutter program can replace the deep connection we will build during our client-practitioner relationship. Few moments bring me such deep satisfaction as when a client tells me how much better their health, sleep, relationships, and life in general have become since we started working together. I knew early on in this journey that this is what I came here to do.
My goal is to be the last practitioner you need to see. Of course, you will still go to your doctor for medical checks, and to your chiropractor, acupuncturist, and other complementary practitioners you love to work with. But when it comes to the chronic/complex/metabolic issue, whatever it may be, the buck stops here. I want to teach you how to restore your health and maintain it without my help by giving you the tools and skills you need. Granted, sometimes there is “only so much” that can be done, given that many people suffer for years or decades before seeking help (and we’re up against entropy and the ravages of the modern world), but nonetheless we will always do the best we can.

“Working with Christian has been a life-changing experience for me. I would absolutely recommend him as a health coach to anyone! After 2 pregnancies and severe stress, I was suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome and anxiety. I didn’t know what to do and how to break the circle. Christian advised me to make certain diet adjustments right from the beginning. He gave me great recommendations on what supplements to take and where to get them.
It was not easy to change some habits, but Christian continued to encourage me and celebrated small wins together. I also did a few tests that showed what additional adjustments I need to do and just in a year I was a completely different person. I have changed my lifestyle and got a better understanding of how my body works and how to nurture it in the right way. I will be forever grateful to Christian for guiding me through all the bumps right to a better quality of life and a healthier and stronger body! Thank you, Christian!“

“Working with Christian has been transformational in getting to the bottom of my chronic skin condition! In a world that’s constantly hurling varying heath information at us, it’s been incredibly helpful to seek out Christian’s well-researched, expert advice. He gave me clear direction on what to eat and what not to eat instead of just following fad regimens.
He helped me get the right lab tests and interpreted the results in order to cater to my body’s unique needs. Through diet changes, supplementation and detox protocols, my skin has incredibly improved in the past five months and counting! I’m so thankful to Christian for his help and appreciate his professional and compassionate demeanor.”
