The term root cause resolution<\/em> gets a lot of play these days.<\/p>\n

And for good reason! I mean, if you had to choose between getting to the heart of your client\u2019s issues (or your own), or simply suppressing symptoms (that may crop up in another way), you\u2019d probably go for the roots.<\/p>\n

We all know that weeding from the roots is more sustainable than plucking the stems.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s a problem with root cause resolution. A BIG problem.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a myth that acts like a trap, ensnaring dedicated practitioners like you, and keeping you from doing your best work.<\/em><\/p>\n

The most troubling part about the root cause resolution<\/em> myth is that when you\u2019re caught in it, you think you\u2019re doing the best thing you can for your clients, while the truth is you could be making matters worse.<\/em><\/p>\n

Scratching your head?<\/p>\n

The good news is that there is<\/em> a way to practice real root cause resolution<\/strong> that works. It starts with recognizing the myth when it appears.<\/p>\n

The Myth Surrounding Root Cause Resolution<\/h2>\n

First let me say that root cause resolution is possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, addressing the root causes of our clients\u2019 issues is the first tenet of practicing Functionally.<\/a><\/p>\n

The myth surrounding root cause resolution isn\u2019t about the theory. As you know, the premise makes good sense! Rather, like so many issues in healthcare, the myth is about the practical application of this important concept.<\/p>\n

The myth says that it\u2019s possible to find the root cause for, say, kidney stones, and that this remedy will work to resolve the condition for everyone\u2014that each person that got kidney stones arrived at their stones for the very same reason.<\/p>\n

Sadly, it doesn\u2019t work this way.<\/p>\n

The truth is, there is no root cause for a particular symptom or diagnosis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is no one root cause for kidney stones. Or tinnitus. Or menstrual cramps. Or any other issue you or your clients are suffering from.<\/p>\n

There are root causes for your<\/em> kidney stones. For his tinnitus. For her<\/em> menstrual cramps.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n

In order for a symptom or a diagnosis to appear, many factors need to align and create the perfect storm for that particular issue. And that perfect storm looks different for everyone.<\/em> It\u2019s the \u201ctipping point\u201d that\u2019s the culmination of life events and occurrences particular to you.<\/p>\n

You may have developed kidney stones because of your decreased water intake and loose bowels following a double round of antibiotics. Your neighbor may have them because of her weight in combination with her genetic predisposition to diabetes.<\/p>\n

One client may have tinnitus because an ear infection was followed by a minor car accident that caused a neck injury. This created a cascade of conditions that ultimately led to the ringing in his ears.<\/p>\n

In breast cancer, when we truly look for the roots, (without just treating what we believe to be the \u201croot of breast cancer\u201d\u2014like the BRCA gene), we can see that one woman has obvious hormonal imbalances while another, with the same diagnosis (perhaps even of the same age, height and weight), has her hormones in check yet surprisingly elevated inflammatory markers.<\/p>\n

Can you begin to see the personalized nature of root cause resolution?<\/em><\/p>\n

The Functional Approach<\/h3>\n

Functional Nutrition uses proven tools and systems designed to guide you to the true root causes of your clients\u2019 issues.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The process starts with specific questions to ask your clients that will help you uncover key information and begin to make connections between their history, physiology, current circumstances, and their symptoms.<\/p>\n

The way to discover the root causes of anyone\u2019s dis-ease requires that we pay heed to their unique life and body. What worked for one client (or 10 or even 20) might not work for the person sitting in front of you now. Nobody is \u201cstandard\u201d and one size never fits all. Thankfully, Functional Nutrition recognizes this.<\/p>\n
