Lesson 1 Takeaways

  • Consult is focused on how you work, not client symptoms. Determine if client is ready for changes.
  • Review intakes/labs for foundational weaknesses like dehydration and poor digestion. Don’t get lost in the details.
  • Session 1 covers diet, hydration, digestion. Use note template. Review symptoms and labs briefly.
  • Ask questions to understand client choices. Don’t assume or tell them what to do. Make suggestions.
  • You are a partner in your client’s healing journey. Prepare them to lead the work.
Lesson 2 Takeaways

  • Reinforce in each session your role is teaching tools for self-healing, not fixing symptoms.
  • Changes may or may not directly affect symptoms. Creating conditions for healing is the focus.
  • Use open-ended questions. Let client story/intuition guide sessions, not your agenda.
  • Keep focused on the foundational steps for which the client is ready. Don’t jump ahead or be overwhelmed with details.
  • Be patient, meet clients where they are. Timing and order of interventions is key.
Lesson 3 Takeaways

  • Don’t tell the client how they should feel or that a supplement will create a certain reaction.
  • Celebrate client wins and changes. Build momentum on successes.
  • Consistency with basics like diet, hydration, and sleep etc is key for creating a healing environment. Check in on their consistency with doing the work.
  • Take good notes and update records with client reported changes.
  • Short, focused consults and prep allow more client focus time. Don’t over research.
Lesson 4 Takeaways

  • Watch for ego, guilt or fear driving overload. Intuition matters more than hours preparing.
  • The client is the expert on their symptoms and changes. Your role is to guide the discovery.
  • Set expectations upfront on client ownership. Review often.
  • Trust the process. Basics create a solid foundation for healing and continued progress.
Lesson 5 Takeaways
  • The PATH method is a comprehensive, non-symptom-based approach to move clients toward health. It stands for Prepare, Assess, Teach, Healing.
  • A path provides guidance, direction, focus, and keeps you safe on the journey to your goal.
  • It teaches discipline, persistence, patience, and self-love to stay on track despite challenges.
  • It doesn’t involve diagnosing or treating disease, just balancing, and optimizing the whole system.
  • Symptoms and disease often disappear on their own when foundational balance/function is restored.
  • High blood pressure is the body’s attempt to force blood through diseased arteries, not the problem itself.
  • Quick symptom relief rarely works long-term and can prevent the body’s innate healing ability.
  • We must give the body the resources it needs to heal itself instead of masking symptoms.
  • The goal is to delicately move the body to a healthier oxidation state, not overcome symptoms.
  • Assess the functioning of the whole system and apply corrections to push it in a healthier direction.
  • Listen to clients’ full history for clues on imbalances in diet, lifestyle, environment over decades.
  • Educate and guide clients to make lifestyle changes, don’t just prescribe remedies.
  • Prepare clients for the journey, teach them to work with their body, don’t just provide quick fixes.
  • Certification tests your functional wellness knowledge and critical thinking skills, not memorization.
  • Passing the certification shows you deeply understand this approach in order to educate clients.
