Even if you\u2019re a physician who can do specialty testing, diagnostics, and treatments to both label and aim at the dysfunction itself, the terrain in which that physiological wound developed still needs to be altered. In essence,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">root cause resolution means we ask <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">why<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> not <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">what<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when working with clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clearing the muddy waters<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to even find the roots (and there are several), we need to clear the mud from the waters so that we can see with more certainty.

It\u2019s about \u201cclearing the muddy waters\u201d, adjusting the landscape, and nurturing the soil in which health can thrive. That\u2019s what we as holistic practitioners who understand how to practice functionally can do that nobody else can.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of thinking that we need to get right at those roots, stop and imagine that healthy roots cannot thrive, survive, (or heal) in harmful soil. The more we tend to the soil, the more those roots might just regenerate and even be cured all on their own.
