Health care is in a crisis. The high cost of medicine, procedures and insurance premiums are forcing people to seek alternatives for their medical issues. People are also realizing that conventional medicine (aka., traditional medicine) is limited in helping with many chronic ailments, creating a movement in self-care through internet resources, do-it-yourself treatments, or seeking out practitioners trained in ‘other’ of ways of administering health care. These ‘other’ ways are referred to as integrative medicine or functional medicine.
Fortunately, there are tools that you, as a health care practitioner, can easily implement to help more people achieve better health and wellness and get to the root causes of their chronic health concerns. Functional Medicine Mastery (FMM) will give you these tools.
The Functional Medicine Mastery Course, taught by Kurt N. Woeller, D.O. and Tracy Tranchitella, N.D. (see their individual bios below), is designed for health professionals who are looking to greatly increase their knowledge and skills regarding the principles and practices of functional medicine. This includes the use of functional medicine laboratory testing, nutrition, supplements, wellness and treatment protocols, clinical correlation and troubleshooting.
Helping individuals with health problems or just working to improve wellness takes time, knowledge and training. However, it doesn’t have to take years of education and practice to do so. The Functional Medicine Mastery Course by Drs. Woeller and Tranchitella straightens out the learning curve, cuts out countless hours studying and the financial cost of in-person conference travel. From your own computer, tablet or smartphone, you will have immediate access to cutting-edge information that will allow you to start helping people immediately.
This course focuses on a variety of topics including where to start and how to properly implement functional medicine, as well as clinically relevant information such as the clinical history intake, symptom survey, laboratory test interpretation, case reviews, nutritional supplement and other intervention protocols for adrenal, blood chemistry, gastrointestinal, hormone and other metabolic imbalances often seen in people with chronic health problems.
