Lab Results – how to interpret – Recording

In this presentation, you will learn:

• How biochemistry relates to the person in front of you
• How to pragmatically use lab testing to support clinical decision-making
• How to leverage lab tests that the patients has already had run
• How to avoid common traps in Functional Medicine Lab testing
• How to use lab testing to help your patients avoid more invasive test

The ability to understand and contextualize lab information for your patients is an increasingly in demand skill. In some cases, your patients already have this data and you’d like to understand what it’s saying in a way that respects your own clinical knowledge.

In other cases, you may want to run some labs with your patient to gather a fuller picture.

Functional Medicine is exploding in popularity, but as a new field it suffers from “new and shiny syndrome” and recommends expensive, supplement-heavy protocols without a strong evidence base.

After doing so much training, I’ve learned (the hard way) which common practices lack validity and which skills have the most impact for patients.

I now use fewer labs than ever but the ones I do really count. 

In this 1-day seminar, you will learn how to best leverage lab data for your patients to improve outcomes and increase your confidence in your clinical skills, as well as your patients’ confidence in you to help them.
