Schedule
Clinical Nutrition Immersion Program
You will have access to a library of pre-recorded appointments with our clients. You will witness and gain a better understanding for how to set the foundation of your client relationship through an in-depth initial interaction, as well as identifying the most impactful next steps for your client. You will learn how to identify symptoms and connect them to the most valuable initial laboratory tests to prioritize for your clients. You'll also learn how to unpack and understand initial laboratory results. This will enable you to extrapolate information to help inform your treatment plan. You will receive access to some of our most valuable tools, including questionnaires, therapeutic plans and modifiable templates that will help guide your practice.
We will explore clinical approaches for addressing the root cause of your clients' conditions. You will view pre-recorded appointments with our clients exhibiting profiles for these conditions. We will dive deeper into how to apply our functional medicine tools to address digestive issues, inflammation conditions, detoxification, and hormone balance. We will discuss matching your clients ongoing symptoms and presentation with additional testing tools to gather data. In addition, we will discuss how you interpret these tools to create a custom therapeutic plan for your client.
We will focus on how to create a practice that allows you to get client compliance and achieve faster results. We explore the benefits of creating relationships with other medical providers, building out a referral network, and the benefits of knowing your scope of practice. We will bring in our marketing team to show you additional tools for running a business, marketing your services, and building your brand or practice that aligns with your goals.
