Madison Ordway, FDN-P

About Madison

Madison Ordway is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P) and the practitioner reviewing HTMA Test Canada's hair tissue mineral analysis content. She specializes in using HTMA to help people across Canada understand their mineral patterns, heavy-metal exposure, and copper balance — and to translate those results into practical, personalized next steps.

Her approach is rooted in functional, root-cause health. Rather than chasing isolated symptoms, she looks at the body's mineral system as a whole — the levels and ratios that influence energy, mood, hormones, and resilience. As an FDN-P, she is trained to interpret functional lab data like HTMA and build realistic protocols around food, lifestyle, and targeted support.

Madison is especially focused on copper balance — one of the most common and most misunderstood reasons people seek out HTMA — and on making mineral testing approachable for everyday Canadians rather than something reserved for clinics.

What is an FDN-P?

A Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner is trained to use functional lab assessments — like hair tissue mineral analysis — to identify imbalances and healing opportunities, then coach clients through personalized diet, rest, exercise, stress-reduction, and supplementation strategies. The emphasis is on understanding why symptoms are happening, not just managing them. An FDN-P provides education and wellness coaching and does not diagnose or treat disease.
