Top Patterns of Disease: What Functional Practitioners Are Missing Most

Hi!

Although you may already be a savvy practitioner, I am certain you will learn something new in this video about Top Patterns of Disease: What Functional Practitioners Are Missing Most. You’ll walk away with pages of notes and practical pearls you can use in your practice right away.

Here are some of the things we’ll be discussing:

  • The lower the better for the “bad stuff” – right?  Like cholesterol, liver enzymes, fasting glucose, homocysteine? Not so fast! What low and supposedly “optimal” lab values may be telling you about hidden dysfunction.
  • Don’t discard intermittent symptoms. Do you know Why they flare and recede? Do you know what interconnectedness is usually at play?
  • The revolving door of disease. There are 3 top reasons why it just keeps spinning.  You keep “treating” the functional lab results, but they just aren’t getting well!
  • Meet Jane. In exactly 10 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, it’s not always Hashimoto’s. Contrary to common myth, it is Not the only common form of hypothyroid dysfunction. Are you looking for these other 3 patterns?
  • Post Rx mayhem. What drug-mediated dysfunctions are so common  these days that you should definitely be on the lookout for them?

Thank you very much for joining in the fun and learning!

WOW….your layered discussion and explanation about TSH, T4, and Reverse T3 was incredibly insightful. I will definitely be giving labs with these numbers a very serious review. I knew the B Vitamins supported the gut lining; Vit D was a new one. SOOO much to learn. Fantastic videos!!

I found it invaluable to understand how the body produces more adipose tissue to store toxins, leading to obesity potential.
