The Finding the Root Cause Program is a 1-on-1 online coaching program. It involves a comprehensive initial evaluation to understand your medical history. From this evaluation, lab test recommendations will be made in order to find your root cause(s). The 2nd appointment is devoted to explaining the results of your lab tests to you and providing a customized wellness program based on what was found in your lab tests. These recommendations will include detoxification protocols, an eating program based on your needs and goals, customized exercise program, meditation/relaxation techniques and sleep protocols. The 3rd and 4th appointments are follow-ups to provide modifications to the wellness plan as needed to bring resolution to your health issues.
So, for most people the question at this point becomes, “Is there a difference between the at-home Functional Medicine lab tests and Conventional Medicine blood work? The answer is YES!
First of all, the Functional Medicine Lab tests use several methods to look inside your body. We use blood drips from pricking your finger tip, urine samples, stool samples, saliva samples and hair samples. Each of these different lab tests provide more markers to look at than are normally included in conventional blood work. That enables me to look at a wider range of things going on in your body.
But more importantly, it’s the ranges that are used to read the labs that are different. Conventional lab ranges are based on a statistical bell curve average based on unhealthy individuals. So when you are told your lab results are normal yet you are constipated, gaining weight, can’t sleep, difficulty staying focused, experiencing pain at several joints or feeling irritable more and more, it is confusing to hear everything is normal. The problem is that you have been told you are “normal” because you have been compared to other “unhealthy” people who have labs done. Basically, you are normal as compared to sick and ill people.
The difference with Functional Medicine lab ranges is that we use smaller and stricter lab ranges. The Functional Medicine ranges reflect the “sweet spot” where the body is able to function normally. So when you are out of these ranges these markers become red flags that are like a road map leading me to identify the root cause of your health issues that have caused the abnormal symptoms you are experiencing.
My job as your Integrative Health Practitioner Coach, is to provide you with the solutions that are designed to restore the proper balance in your body. My mission is to get you back to the “sweet spot” of these functional ranges so that your body can function at its best in order for you to live as healthy as you can, for as long as you can.
Finding the root cause of your health issues in combination with an integrative wellness plan is what creates the distinction of a new and refreshing approach of giving you your life back and helping you to achieve the goals in your life that you thought had passed you by.
My promise to you is that I will be your partner, guide and coach as you are EnRoot 2 and through your Wellness Journey.
