Are You Struggling With…
As a dedicated practitioner and coach, you want to deliver consistent breakthroughs for every client. However, it's not uncommon to be…
Staring at lab panels, overwhelmed by numbers but unsure which markers truly matter
Second-guessing every supplement choice and dose, fearing you'll under or over-do it

Feeling like an imposter when a complex case slips through the cracks
It's Not Your Fault
Interpreting functional blood work isn't taught in most programs—no wonder you feel stuck.

"It may have quite literally extended my husband's life."
While reviewing her husband's bloodwork using what she learned in this course, Savannah identified a potentially dangerous pattern. That insight led to a physician visit, additional testing, and treatment that might not have happened otherwise.
This is why functional blood chemistry matters.

What did you find most valuable about the course?
On a deeply personal level, this course gave me the tools to recognize a potentially dangerous pattern while reviewing my husband's bloodwork. That insight prompted a visit to his physician, where additional testing was ordered and appropriate treatment was recommended. His condition likely would not have been identified without the knowledge I gained from this course. That will always be the most valuable part of this experience for me — it may have quite literally extended my husband's life, which is the most meaningful outcome imaginable.
How has it changed the way you think about health and lab work?
This course has become my go-to framework for functional testing. It is both affordable and incredibly informative. Most importantly, it teaches you how to identify problematic patterns before they cross the point of no return — and that perspective is truly profound.
Would you recommend it to others?
Without hesitation. This is the best course I have found in the functional medicine space. I am deeply grateful I found my way to it, and I know it will have far-reaching positive effects not only for my family, but for my future clients as well.
