Importance of Lab Testing

• Blood Testing vs. Lab Testing: Blood tests are important but not comprehensive.
  • Blood tests can’t detect gut dysfunction or true hormonal levels.
  • Recommend comprehensive lab testing beyond just blood work.
  • Look into gut function, digestive function, and hormone levels comprehensively.

Identifying Root Causes

• It's crucial to identify both deficiencies and toxicities.
• Correct deficiencies by increasing necessary nutrients like B6 or Vitamin C.
• Address toxicities (e.g., heavy metals, pesticides) as they cause inflammation.
• Use specific protocols to eliminate toxicities.

Protocols and Adjustments

• Initial Protocols: Address gut issues, yeast, and bacterial overgrowth through protocols like the CBO protocol.
• Challenges and Solutions:
  • Reactions or setbacks can occur when introducing supplements or foods.
  • Importance of tweaking variables rather than stopping protocols.
  • Step-by-step approach to identifying food or supplement culprits in reactions.
  • Importance of working with a practitioner to adjust the protocol.

Overcoming Common Health Challenges

• Work with qualified practitioners to navigate health challenges.
• Adjust protocols based on individual reactions and progress.
• Emphasize that protocols are generally effective but might need personalization.

Application Beyond Health

• Exercise and Nutrition:
  • Apply similar principles of gradual progression and monitoring to exercise and nutrition.
  • Avoid over-exertion and focus on consistency over time.

Finding the Right Support

• Importance of working with an experienced practitioner for guidance.
