Has this ever happened?
Have your clients been told their blood work shows nothing, yet they still feel unwell?
Are they frustrated with being told it’s all in their head or that they just have to destress?
Just because lab results are in the “normal range” doesn’t necessarily mean they’re optimal. Unfortunately, many end up in this gray area, spinning their wheels!
Too Many are Being Told There’s Nothing Wrong…
In Functional Medicine, We Call Them “Functionally Ill”
Here are the issues…
With today’s insurance mandates, doctors’ hands are tied when it comes to ordering expanded testing that could give more answers. Meanwhile, what is ordered comes back as black or white – either normal or with a diagnosis.
But, wait – it might come as a surprise, but you can get all the labs your patients need, and for a fraction of the cost.
And, you can learn a proven system that reveals the hidden clues blood can tell you beyond what’s normal or what’s used to diagnose a disease.
Right – and, with all the labs you need and the know-how to look at them from a systems-biology, root-cause approach, you’ll see more that other clinicians miss, and you’ll do more that ultimately gives your clients the optimal health they deserve!
Did You Know…
Bloodwork reveals underlying imbalances often linked to nutrition, providing the insights you need to tailor your recommendations. By interpreting labs through a functional nutrition lens, you can help your clients achieve the vibrant health they’ve desperately longed for!
With 36 hours of comprehensive training, we leave no stone unturned – not just the ‘what‘ but also the ‘why‘ behind it, so you can…
• Unlock the Power of Blood Chemistry Interpretation: Move beyond mere reference ranges to optimal ranges that reveal the underlying causes of dysfunction and disease.
• Transform Patient Care with a Holistic Approach: Interpret biomarkers and patterns to develop targeted wellness to set your patients on the path to optimal health.
• Prevent Disease and Promote Wellness: Prevent the progression of dysfunction into disease, empowering your patients to take control of their health and well-being.
• Elevate Your Practice with Expertise: Attract patients seeking a more comprehensive and holistic approach, and become a trusted authority in Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis.
• Improve Patient Outcomes and Satisfaction: Develop personalized treatment plans addressing the unique needs of each patient, leading to improved health outcomes & increased patient satisfaction.

Highly Recommended Add-On Training:
If you haven’t already had this, we strongly suggest you take our 13-hour Balance Blueprint training as a prerequisite. This course covers the six core centers of health that underlie all chronic diseases and for which blood chemistry biomarkers can help identify.
This knowledge gives you the maximum value of our functional blood chemistry course.
The on-demand training is now available for a limited-time add-on registration at a hugely discounted price of only $97!

This course is for you if you want to know how to….
- Interpret Labs from an optimal-level viewpoint
- Order blood work through lab distributors (at a fraction of insurance billed costs) for clients who can’t get from their doctor
- Match symptoms to lab biomarkers
- Adjust your interpretation for circumstances like non-fasting, elite athletes, and altitude
- Leverage blood tests to direct your clients in disease prevention
- Discover the underlying root causes of abnormal blood markers
- Discern when and why to obtain more specific markers
- Learn the variables that can skew lab results
- Get familiar with biomarker groupings that underlie health concerns
- Use CMP & CBC panels to assess potential nutrient insufficiencies, other than the obvious
- Identify oxidative stress without specialty (and costly) Functional Medicine labs
- Know when what looks like iron deficiency actually isn’t (never give iron when it’s not needed!)
- Know when someone needs more thyroid support, even when their TSH looks normal
With all this, you’ll become a true blood detective, offering your clients the highest level of support for optimal health!
In combination with the assessment of physical signs and symptoms, blood chemistries are of unique value in helping clinicians connect the dots and get answers!
Here’s All You’ll Get:
- 13 webinars (2 hrs each) packed with content
- Several blood chemistry interpretation practicum sessions
- 6 hours of “optimal values” workshopping
- 10 handouts, some ready to customize for your practice
- 13 practice exercises to help you solidly your learning (optional)
- Almost 800 slides!
- 16 pages (count em) of scientific references!
In this professional training, the functional medicine model will be applied uniquely to the interpretation of conventional blood labs. Everything involved in lab work will be covered:
- Lab ordering – various options (in many states, patients can even order their own labs!)
- Patient prep for the blood draw – when to stop supplements, the importance of fasting, and more
- Reference ranges – how they are derived and how they underserve the clinician’s deepest assessment of their patients.
- A Deep discussion on the concept of optimal values and how they better serve to fully assess and guide the treatment process.
- Functional lab interpretation – detailed coverage of each biomarker in the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, Complete Blood Count, along with coverage of an array of anemias, protein status, key interactions and relationship between various nutrients, and more
Set Yourself Apart by Acquiring the Vital Skill of Blood Chemistry Interpretation to Advance any Clinical Practice, Especially Your Integrative and Functional Practice!
Meet Your Instructor:
I’m Susan Allen-Evenson, and I have over 30 years of fantastic experience successfully using Functional Nutrition in the many settings I’ve worked in, including leading Integrative Medicine centers and several years in private practice. After the first year or two, I barely had to market my services—so many grateful clients have done the talking (and referring) for me!
I’ve learned the ins and outs of functional lab interpretation, what to do, and what NOT to do, and I’ve got insider industry secrets ready to share! You must know this, too, if you want to capture the business out there, which is just waiting for you to grab it. I’ve been providing professional training for Dietitians/Nutritionists and other healthcare professionals for over 10 years because I know firsthand how much our public needs responsible and safe guidance for their health. Many clinicians I train are surprised there is much more to know than they ever learned in school!
What Your Colleagues Have to Say...
