• Identify early patterns of dysfunction—such as inflammation, insulin resistance, and thyroid underconversion—before they progress to disease.
• Apply a systems-based approach to interpret lab findings in the context of a client’s symptoms, history, and healing timeline.
• Develop phase-based nutrition strategies tailored to lab data, prioritizing root-cause interventions over symptom suppression.
• Track client progress using both functional markers and symptom improvements, adjusting protocols without over-reliance on retesting.
