People generally love it or hate it. They have it, or they don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re someone who frequently relies on your gut instincts, then you\u2019ve got this key element to clinical success, but be sure to read on to learn how to transform this sense into a truly <em>Functional<\/em> skill.<\/p>\n<p>And if you\u2019re wrinkling your nose at the the idea that intuition has a place in the clinic, I assure you that <em>Functional<\/em> Intuition is a far cry from a psychic reading at the carnaval.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Functional Intuition arises only when you have extensive clinical practice under your belt.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Functional Intuition comes when you\u2019ve studied the sciences, worked with the systems, practiced the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnutrition.com\/articles\/why-you-should-avoid-dinner-party-consults\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">art of counseling<\/span><\/a>, and <em>your knowledge and experience have integrated to become wisdom.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Functional Intuition is akin to what athletes and artists call the Zone, and what psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (author of <em>Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience<\/em>) calls the \u201cFlow State\u201d. It\u2019s a state of being that emerges in masters\u2014those who have dedicated thousands of hours to their practice.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve learned and practiced the skills of your craft enough, <strong>your unconscious mind begins to make connections so quickly that your conscious mind cannot keep up.<\/strong> This is when you know something without understanding <em>why<\/em> you know.<\/p>\n<h3>What the Flow State Looks Like<\/h3>\n<p>Csikszentmihalyi states that Flow happens when your skill level matches the challenge you\u2019re faced with. You can create Flow in a situation of low challenge only if you have a low level of skill. Otherwise you get bored.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, and more commonly, you can create a state of Flow when you have a high level of skill and you\u2019re faced with a high degree of challenge. This is what we see with masterful musicians, athletes, and clinicians.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re faced with a challenge that is above your level of skill, however, instead of Flow, you\u2019ll experience anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>The image below illustrates this relationship between skill, challenge, and state of being:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-923 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/FNL-flow-2.png\" alt=\"Flow and Functional Intuition | Functional Nutrition Lab\" width=\"500\" height=\"548\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While it may seem out of your reach to become the Mozart of diet and lifestyle counseling, my guess is that you\u2019ve likely had more moments of Functional Intuition than you think.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever had a hunch that your client has a sensitivity to dairy because of her puffy eyes and challenges with constipation, or that the late nights your patient spends writing his novel on his laptop, propped up in his bed, are impacting his sex drive, even though these clues were mentioned only tangentially, then you\u2019re in the Flow.<\/p>\n<p>Or perhaps you noticed on your patient\u2019s Intake Form that they\u2019d traveled out of the country and you decide to delve more into the experience, even though they\u2019re coming to you for the seemingly unrelated challenge of undiagnosed chronic gas and bloating.<\/p>\n<p>Bingo. You\u2019ve tapped into Flow <em>and<\/em> Functional Intuition.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Hone Your Functional Intuition<\/h3>\n<p>Just as baseball players invite moments of being in the Zone by going to batting practice, and painters create the Flow State by spending hours at the canvas working with colors and shapes, the trick to creating Functional Intuition is <em>practice.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The more you practice using the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnutrition.com\/articles\/functional-nutrition-matrix\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Functional Nutrition Matrix<\/a><\/span>, the more you\u2019ll intuitively make connections between your client\u2019s Story, Soup, and Skill (their history, their physiological function or dysfunction and what they need to do to invite remedy.) You\u2019ll get what you might have previously called a hunch, and you\u2019ll <em>just know<\/em> something.<\/p>\n<p>The more time you spend in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnutrition.com\/articles\/why-you-should-avoid-dinner-party-consults\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Art of the Practice<\/span><\/a>, the more easily you\u2019ll be able to practice Functional Empathy\u2014<em>building<\/em> the bridge between you and your client, and you\u2019ll feel empowered instead of drained after sessions.<\/p>\n<p>And the more time you spend talking with people about what you do, and what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnutrition.com\/articles\/functional-nutrition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Functional Nutrition<\/span><\/a> <em>really is<\/em>, the more the words will just <em>flow<\/em>, and the less caught up in your head you\u2019ll be when someone asks you how you can help them <em>finally<\/em> feel better.<\/p>\n<p>Practice really does make perfect. A perfect state of Functional Intuition will allow you to help the people you\u2019re eager to help, and to guide them towards resolution.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Related Blog Posts<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnutrition.com\/articles\/why-you-should-avoid-dinner-party-consults\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Art of Counseling Part 1<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnutrition.com\/articles\/1-key-element-to-functional-nutrition-mastery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1 Key Element to Functional Nutrition Mastery<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnutrition.com\/articles\/functional-nutrition-matrix\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Functional Nutrition Matrix<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnutrition.com\/articles\/functional-nutrition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Functional Nutrition<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intuition is a loaded word.
