Leverage Functional Nutrition’s systems biology and root-cause analysis approach to gain insight and have a greater impact on client cases–whatever their health concerns; it’s all about underlying imbalances!

If you want to truly help everyone who comes your way, you can’t afford to lack knowledge of foundational principles that impact every aspect of health!

Today, an estimated 133 million Americans – nearly half the population – suffer from at least one chronic illness, such as hypertension, heart disease, arthritis, and more. And according to the latest statistics, obesity currently affects four out of 10 Americans.

Despite all the medical and nutritional support available, these numbers show that we’re clearly missing the mark in patient care!

Too many are frustrated! They want more than just another diet or medication for symptom management – They want lasting resolution.

Hint: That’s why Functional Medicine is positively booming! 

It’s time to look at things differently! 

My Balance Blueprint training will lay out the foundational six core centers of health and show you how to identify the signs, symptoms, and biomarkers of subclinical imbalances within these areas, which are common root-cause factors underlying chronic disease.

Once you know all the connections and what to do to regain balance in these key areas, you can make targeted recommendations that directly impact clinical manifestation. This is also the best method for keeping your clients at their peak health and in their best place for the prevention of chronic disease.

You may never look at health and disease the same way again! Think about it – we’re not “treating a disease”; we’re supporting health from the inside out!

Let me tell you about my client, Terry…

Terry came to me for weight loss. She also had irritable bowel, which her doctor said was under control (yeah, right!).

After years of spinning her wheels with recommendations from multiple clinicians she’d seen, she was still desperate for answers. She sometimes saw partial results, but they never lasted long, and for the past year, no matter what diet and despite hours in the gym each week, nothing could get her jump-started.

She was frustrated, depressed, and about ready to give up, and then a co-worker referred her to me.

I evaluated Terry deeply through the Functional Nutrition lens. Sure enough, looking beyond diet and exercise recommendations, I found a myriad of imbalances at the root core level. By looking deeply into her history, current signs, symptoms, and bloodwork, I identified three of the six core centers of health I was trained to look at that manifest imbalance: inflammation, oxidative stress, and acid stress.

Knowing these key subclinical imbalances could affect her mineral status, mitochondrial function, and hormone balance and could impede optimal metabolic function, I was able to focus on finding the root causes of these imbalances and then develop a personalized regimen that would finally allow a good diet and exercise regimen to work again.

Note: Not Terry’s actual photo, butrepresentative of her results.

It turns out the culprits were also her stress level and imbalanced microbiome, but so too were previous recommendations she’d been given that amounted to overexercising and restricted diets that led to nutrient and essential fatty acid insufficiency and kept her in a cycle of subclinical imbalance, not to mention thyroid dysfunction that wasn’t even identified previously. So, you probably get it – all things together contributed to the lockdown of her metabolism.

No wonder she was stuck!

It took us several months to unravel it all, but piece by piece, we put the puzzle back together, and everything began to fall into place! Over time, Terry lost 100 pounds and kept it off. She looked great, felt amazing, was happier than ever, and was delighted to have her life back finally!

HERE’S THE TRUTH

Our population is invested in health and disease prevention more than ever before. Functional Medicine is booming as many look past the conventional medical paradigm to a broader and deeper level of support encompassing nutrition, lifestyle, and complementary therapies.

Without enough qualified clinicians trained in these modalities from the Functional Medicine perspective, the public is left to the internet and coaches unqualified to practice medical nutrition therapy. Raise your level of expertise – it’s needed now more than ever!

Go beyond your conventional training to the fuller aspects of integrative and functional care, which addresses the root-cause analysis and systems biology approaches that are more comprehensive and evidence-based to better support the health and wellness of those you serve.

Ultimately, the knowledge you will gain in this and other courses here at NLFN can raise you to the top tier of practitioners with the highest ability to help your clients succeed in reaching their health goals. With this comes a proven model for your career growth and satisfaction. It’s a win-win all around!
