It\u2019s my mission to educate practitioners (and truly, the rest of the world!) about the benefits of Functional Nutrition. I know it\u2019s how we can empower both patients and practitioners, and how we can move the dial towards a more functional<\/em> healthcare system.<\/p>\n

You might already understand many of the scientific principles behind practicing Functionally, such as looking for root causes and paying heed to bio-individuality.<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019ve been following my posts lately, you also know there\u2019s an art<\/em> to the practice as well.<\/p>\n

The 3 Steps to the ART of Practicing Functionally:
\n\"A.R.T.<\/p>\n

Step 1: The \u2018A\u2019 in the Art of Counseling\u2014Assess<\/h3>\n

Practicing Functionally means that before we offer suggestions, we thoroughly assess what\u2019s going on with our clients. This ensures we\u2019re not missing crucial information. (Read the full article on Step 1 HERE<\/a><\/strong>)<\/p>\n

Step 2: The \u2018R\u2019 in the Art of Counseling\u2014Recommend<\/h3>\n

After a comprehensive assessment, and a clear understanding of both Empathy and Consent, Functional practitioners recommend both dietary and lifestyle modifications. (Read the full article on Step 2 HERE<\/a><\/strong>)<\/p>\n

Step 3: The \u2018T\u2019 in the Art of Counseling\u2014Track<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Working Functionally means that we are continually looking to individualize our solutions with more and more precision.<\/p>\n

Unlike the X for Y Paradigm<\/span><\/a><\/strong> of many medical practices, we\u2019re not looking to match up a symptom (X) with a remedy (Y) that has been shown to work for most people.<\/em> (That\u2019s what is called \u201cpopulation\u201d, not \u201cprecision\u201d healthcare.)<\/p>\n

Your client isn\u2019t most people. She is a unique individual, and she\u2019s going to have unique responses to everything you recommend. Some of her responses are going to be what you expect, and some aren\u2019t. And beyond that, everything you recommend she add or subtract from her diet and lifestyle is going to shift the entire terrain of her physiology.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is exactly what you want. Shifting the terrain is where we work our Epigenetic Mastery<\/a>,<\/span><\/strong> altering the expression of genes, physiological expressions, infections and dysbiosis, and turning on the innate healing capacity of our clients.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the rub\u2026<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re going to successfully bring your clients to resolution\u2014to help them find sustainable relief from their symptoms\u2014you need to pay close attention to how each and every change your client makes affects her.<\/p>\n

How did that coconut oil impact your client\u2019s eczema?<\/em>
\nDid changing her bedtime alter her blood sugar response?<\/em>
\nDid the magnesium supplement you recommended help her have regular bowel movements like you suspected it would, or did it have the opposite effect?<\/em><\/p>\n

You see, if you don\u2019t understand what impacts your recommendations have had on your client, you won\u2019t know where to go next. (Do you see how painstakingly creating a 3-month plan for your clients in advance could actually be counterproductive?!)<\/em><\/p>\n

Track<\/h3>\n

The answer, as you might have guessed from the title of this article, is to track.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you use Functional tools to track your client\u2019s diet, habits, symptoms, and even her poop (yes, we talk a lot about poop in our clinic and our classrooms!), you\u2019ll be able to connect the dots of her history, biology, diet, habits, and her symptoms. And this will allow you to unlock the answers to finding the root causes<\/span><\/a><\/strong> of what ails her.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s what we all want\u2014to be able to help people feel better.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Functional Nutrition Lab curriculum, you\u2019ll learn to use all the tools shown in the image below. Notice that there are four different tracking tools\u2014Food\/Mood\/Poop Journal, Supplement Tracker, Guideline Tracker, and Lab Tracker!<\/p>\n

\"Functional<\/p>\n

When you truly know how to work Functionally, you\u2019re able to weave all the data gathered together and see how it\u2019s interrelated. This is where the ART of the clinical practice kicks into gear\u2014where your work with clients and patients is based on the beautiful interconnection between information and intuition.<\/p>\n

The 3 Steps to the ART of Practicing Functionally:
\nStep 1: Assess<\/span><\/a>
\nStep 2: Recommend<\/span><\/a>
\nStep 3: Track<\/strong><\/p>\n
