As I study to become an Functional Diagnostic Practitioner (FDN-P) this fall, I have found it fascinating how our five main functional labs used in the coaching program overlap. We don’t just look at one lab test and treat the symptoms…instead we look at the WHOLE picture with five different labs then clinically correlate the lab tests with the individual client’s history, main health concerns, symptoms, lifestyle and genetics. We do not diganose or treat anything specific but create a rebuilding program for the individual client then assess and re-correct as we continue down a 90-day journey (or longer) until the individual is thriving each day and feel alive again!
CHRONIC STRESS, living life as a race, can leave an individual feeling burned out, struggling with chronic fatigue daily and the inability to lose fat weight. We are not superhuman and bulletproof! We do have limitations …more is not always better!
Part of our investigation into a client’s individual “METABOLIC CHAOS” case, we run five different functional lab tests. The metabolic assessment test measure three main areas.
The Metabolic Assessment Profile with Biohealth 101 Testing
1. Urinary Indican – our ability or inability to breakdown protein
2. Urinary Lipid Peroxides- measures the amount of oxidative stress
3. Urinary Bile Acids – determines if liver congestion or detoxification dysfunction
These three markers will help us in our investigation to a client’s METABOLIC CHAOS and the Chronic Stress Cascade. From this test- we will identify any issues with:
1. poor protein digestion and absorption
2. intestinal toxemia, overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria
3. dysbiosis, SIBO, leaky gut, and pancreatic insufficiency
4. excessive oxidative stress, free radical damage
5. accelerated aging and breakdown
6. congested liver and detoxification issues
7. biliary stasis and poor fat metabolism
8. poor enterohepatic circulation
9. excessive antigen or immune complex load
10. presence of infection or infestation – serious liver disease.
Let’s go over the Urinary Indican test first.
The lab values only provide the FDN Practitioner, the Health Detective, insights into various healing opportunities as well as help us guide the natural therapy protocols when we create our recommendations after clinically correlating the lab results, history, clues and more with an individual.
The WHOLE Athlete Coaching 90-Day Program is divided up into three phases:
1. Asses the underlying conditions and contributors to “METABOLIC CHAOS”. We run a comprehensive investigation into solving and resolving “METABOLIC CHAOS” by clinically correlating a client’s history and symptoms with well-chosen functional labs.
2. We create an individualized health building program that the client will follow on their own with my support, guidance and feedback. We will create a customized “D.R.E.S.S. for health success” program; lab guided with individualized holistic behavior protocols.
3. We continue running the program of health re-building. As we coach up the function of the body systems and coach down the client’s individual contributors to their “METABOLIC CHAOS”. We work together, making adjustments and corrections along the journey, until the client feels their best and their health is restored. With the correct rebuilding and restoration protocol, the casual factors are resolved as the vital voids are revealed.
