Takeaways to Consider
Takeaways from your assignments:
- We do not have a crystal ball. While we can understand biochemistry, we can never truly see all that is biochemically happening within an individual body.
- The Critical Thinker:
- Will raise questions to unknowns.
- Will question any statement that may appear incomplete to determine additional details about the event that could change the outcome of or affect the decision to be made based on the statement.
- Will gather and assess all the information and utilize abstract ideas to help come to well-reasoned conclusions while all the time testing these conclusions against the relevant data.
- Will communicate effectively to allow answers to be forthcoming from the client and to inspire additional data to be remembered and given.
- Don’t stop at the headlines…what is the rest of the story? “I don’t have gut issues eating food”…what have you stopped eating to relieve the symptoms?
- Connections happen along with how the body works and if we give credence to starting with the basics, we will not spend 14 hours learning general things about autoimmune conditions and instead, will apply our focus to the client case before us and the clues that we have drawn out from them directly.
- We can’t look at the low marker and think, oh wow, that’s low, it needs to be fixed…instead we think, okay, that represents the client’s current biochemistry and what is happening in their life.
- Never assume anything about what a client means, as their meaning and your understanding of their meaning could be in two different places.
Exercises
From the Exercises, consider your answers to the questions and enter them into the Journal area below. These are for your own private practicing of the concepts being taught and only you can see them and update them.
Exercises to Practice
- Practice with family or a friend…have your family/friend speak a short paragraph of information to you about their health concerns.
- What comments do they make that would benefit from asking more questions?
- What questions will you ask them to draw out deeper information?
- Compare what they meant with what you may have assumed they meant!
- Pick out two areas of the body and
- Research what they do
- Identify when they may be connected to Foundational Health on a basic level
- Put together an online folder for clients that contain educational resources to share.
- Practice the Step Back Method® using real data and get comfortable with stopping after each section and analyzing the data and what it may mean for the next section.

Failing like a scientist is also about continuously challenging your assumptions instead of blindly following a linear path to a specific goal…there is no “success or failure” but “it worked” vs “it didn’t work” and all we can learn from either situation.
