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

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

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

For all the medical and nutritional support available, it’s clear from these numbers that we’re clearly missing the mark in patient care!

Are your clients frustrated? Do they long for lasting resolution rather than just another diet or medication for symptom management?

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 that 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’ll be able to make targeted recommendations that have a meaningful impact on clinical manifestation. It’s also the best method to keep your clients at their peak of 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 she was told was “under control”. After years of spinning her wheels with recommendations from multiple doctors and dietitians she’d seen, she was desperate for answers. Classified as morbidly obese, she did initially see results but for not even half her goal. 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 until a co-worker referred her to me.

I evaluated Terry deeply through the Functional Nutrition lens I had used time and again to get meaningful answers. And sure enough, looking beyond diet and exercise recommendations, I found a myriad of imbalances at the root core level. By looking at her clinical presentation, and basic bloodwork, I was able to identify 3 of the 6 Core Centers of Health that were manifesting signs of imbalance; inflammation, oxidative stress, and acid stress.

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

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

Turns out the culprits were her stress level and imbalanced microbiome, but so too were previous recommendations she’d been given that amounted to overexercising and restricted dietary regimens that aggravated nutrient and essential fatty acid status and kept her in a cycle of subclinical imbalance, not to mention thyroid dysfunction that wasn’t even identified previously, all things together contributing to the lock-down of her metabolism.

No wonder she was stuck! I knew then and there we had our work cut out for us, but I was confident I finally had the answers she was looking for.

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; she looked great, felt amazing, and happier than ever, she was delighted to finally have her life back!

HERE’S THE TRUTH

Our population is invested in health and disease prevention more than ever before. Many are looking past the conventional medical paradigm to a broader level of support encompassing nutrition, lifestyle, and complementary therapies. Without enough qualified clinicians trained in these modalities, the public is left to the internet and less qualified health coaches.

It’s time we expand beyond our conventional training to the fuller aspects of Integrative and Functional Care – that which addresses root-cause analysis and systems biology approaches that are more comprehensive and evidenced based – this to better support the health and wellness of those we serve!

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