As healthcare providers, we have the privilege and the opportunity to educate our patients any time we see them in the office.
There is so much confusion in the general public about what causes disease and what to do about it, and I see it every day.
Most of my patients initially don’t understand how diet, environmental, and emotional stresses combine to cause illness, how medications work and what they symptoms they cause, sources of toxicity, and simple ways to alleviate these sources of physiological stress.
Anything we can do to create clarity on these topics and empower easy, affordable action is our professional responsibility.
If you’re like me, you paid a lot of money for your professional degree. But, like me, you may have found that most of what you learn happens after your expensive education, in clinical practice.
For the past 7 years, I’ve been a member of Functional Medicine University. The modules can be used for a certification in functional medicine and continuing education.
But what has been most helpful for me in practice on a day to day basis are the weekly webinars on testing, nutrition, and related topics that often provide insights and tips that I can share with my patients immediately in the clinic.
As an affordable training and educational program for providers, I can’t recommend Functional Medicine University and Dr. Ron Grisante high enough.
