Hi!
I am so excited to share this Facebook Live and THESE POWERFUL PEARLS of functional medicine with you. At SAFM we teach our students to be both confident and highly skilled at “puzzle piecing” and finding the interconnectedness between pieces of each patient’s unique case.
In this presentation, I’ll share a few staples but also some unexpected connections which might surprise you!
One of the most important tenets of functional medicine is the focus on upstream drivers of dis-ease vs. only focusing on downstream symptom relief. While it is a fact that each patient is unique, you can indeed learn to assess, target, and resolve dysfunctions based on these common drivers. With this knowledge you will immediately begin to help client’s achieve rapid relief – they will get well, have faith in your skills and help grow your practice by word of mouth!
- How amazingly few things can “go wrong” with the human body.
- The five most common Root Causes and the three most powerful drivers.
- Where to focus: Disease or Dis-Ease?
- Why thyroid function matters so much more than you might think.
- Order of operations: where to start? Key tricks of the trade.
- Yes, disease often begins in the gut, but sometimes in ways you likely don’t expect!
- The #1 area you want to be an expert if you have to choose and focus your learning.
- How to inspire clients to Do something about their stress vs. just talking about it.

Wow! Really enjoyed this talk – so many nuggets/pearls! How to pick just one?
Two that stuck out are:1) Don’t put anything on your skin that you wouldn’t put in your mouth
2) The hormone comparison – too much estrogen, cortisol, insulin and not enough progesterone, DHEA and thyroid hormone – that is a very succinct summary and I haven’t heard it put that way before.
Thank you so much – I would LOVE to take your course!

I like to say I want to give them hope…giving them a positive and hopeful way to think about what is going on in their body and that they have options to improve their wellness. The education approach and team attitude in approaching a client is the best way to approach this kind of coaching. Awesome tips!!

Loved your description of the hard working pancreas trying to keep up with demand for insulin! A great visual to share with my patients with NASH who also suffer from insulin resistance and pre-diabetes.

Nichole Patrick says:
I am currently an NP in primary care in the conventional medicine arena. I am so interested in the root causes of disease because I personally was not assisted in my health by conventional medicine. I feel handicapped in helping my patients because I do not have to education needed to truly help them. I myself had chronic daily migraines and was on SS disability until I decided to take my health into my own hands. I went to a holistic nutritionist that suggested that I go gluten free, I did and it changed my world. I did GAPS for a year and healed my gut and I was able to go back to work.
I am taking your Deep Dive in hormones this week and I would love to be able to learn much, much more.
I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge! -

Elevated blood sugar leading to type 2 is not always diet related! Chronic stress over time can lead to insulin resistance and should always be addressed and factored into a a treatment plan when working with new clients.

Loved what you said that “the skin is a BIG mouth”. and that anything that is put on the skin bypasses the liver.
Dehydration burdens the kidneys
Constipation burdens the intestines and liver.
Very important.

I like your discussion about the importance of avoiding toxins and the concept that if you wouldn’t eat it you shouldn’t put it on your body (skin). Also the explanation that part of the issue with estrogen dominance being related to our detox pathways and our body’s ability to get rid of it. Thanks for all your pearls ????
