SEL 0935 - Functional Medicine 6 Lecture Hours: 15
Lab Hours: 0
Total Hours: 15
Credits: 1
Module 6 will bring in more advanced laboratory evaluations to aid in clinical evaluation. Amino acids, organic acids and neurotransmitter testing will be covered, which allow a more in-depth look at the individual biochemistry of each patient. Biotransformation and detoxification will be covered emphasizing the unique individual variances in detoxification ability that each person has, what the consequences may be of those variances, and how to support proper biotransformation and elimination through diet, lifestyle and nutritional therapies. It is extremely important that in this modern world of unparalleled chemical, electromagnetic and stress pollution, that this be addressed fully in each patient. Finally, practical real-world tips on how to implement functional medicine into practice will be offered by faculty with years of experience with functional medicine. Case based learning will be utilized to emphasize the real-world of the practice of functional medicine. The emphasis will not be on “getting the right diagnosis” so much as ensuring a comprehensive and logical thought process is in place in the evaluation of individual cases. Discussion will include the limitations and challenges that functional medicine practitioners face in the current healthcare landscape. Practice management will be addressed as poor office procedures may impede even the most astute practitioner and their desire to help those in need.
