PLAY VIDEOWhy Order My Own Tests?
You've been to your doctor and received the result: "everything's normal". But you don't feel normal. Something's off. Functional range is oftentimes different than the "normal" reference range. There might not be anything raising a red flag for your MD, but there may very well be some tests that are far from optimal - which can definitely contribute to symptoms.
How and What Do I Order?
You can work with your doctor to get the RIGHT tests ordered - or you can order them YOURSELF! But with literally thousands of tests to choose from, many of which resemble a foreign language - how do you know where to start? Well, we've done all the work for you. This course is broken up into five small groups of the most important, broad-picture health and fitness markers that provide greater insight into your health (it's likely your doctor doesn't order many of them). You'll be able to easily pinpoint areas that may need attention - areas that may be blocking your health and fitness goals.
You Don't Need a Degree to Understand Them
You're used to relying on your doctor to interpret your test results. After all, he or she is the expert! The truth is, you can not only understand your blood tests, but have a really good grasp on many tests in just a matter of minutes - regardless of your educational background. The Internet is changing the face of health care, whether we like it or not. This course will give you the confidence and proficiency in ordering and understanding the most important tests for your health - and the simplicity provides a solid foundation that can help keep you grounded in the land of technology and information overload.
Power in Optimal Values & Monitoring
When you are on the front lines of your own health, you can see trends that your doctor might never pick up - iron problems, low Vitamin D, pre-diabetes, insulin resistance, and thyroid dysregulation, just to name a few. Learn what many functional medicine experts consider "optimal" values and where you sit in relation to them - and be confident in your ability to monitor your values and speak knowledgeably with your doctor. The role we are able to play in our own health is like no other time in history. It's easier than ever to take responsibility for your health. This course will help you start to do just that.
