Hi!

Although you may already be a savvy practitioner, I am certain you will learn something new in this video about ‘Labwork Missteps: Commonly Missed Opportunities for Practitioners.’ You’ll walk away with pages of notes and practical pearls you can use in your practice right away.

Here is some of what we covered:

  • Are you making the mistake of Not running thorough labs before moving ahead on these common Prescriptions and Supplements?
  • The lower the better for the “bad stuff”, right?  Not So fast – these low and supposedly “optimal” lab values may be telling you about hidden dysfunction.
  • Meet Jane. In less than 13 years, she’s going to get a T2D diagnosis. But the evidence is lurking in her labs Right Now.  Do you know what to look for?  
  • No lettuce, No Salad – how nutrient deficiencies can show up unexpectedly in everyday lab values.
  • Not considering historical trends? We must! Or you may jump to the wrong conclusion.
  • “Sleep hygiene”, “eating hygiene”, but what about “lab hygiene”? Yes, there’s devil-in-the-detail You must teach your patients.
  • SAFM’s recommended yearly panel: What we believe Should be part of the standard annual physical labs but usually Isn’t!
  • When an optimal lab result is deceiving you? Common combos of Two Opposing dysfunctional dynamics.
