This class will thoroughly explore the underlying, or root causes, of the profound “fatigue” epidemic women are currently experiencing. Using the Functional Medicine Matrix as a guide, we’ll look at patient history, conventional and functional testing, and algorithms to apply in identifying and formulating an effective individualized treatment plan for women. We’ll look at the appropriate assessments for hypothyroidism, blood sugar and insulin, adrenal fatigue, intestinal dysbiosis, viral and other infections, and detoxification problems, as well as the role of mind and emotions in fatigue.Learning Objectives:

1. Use the functional medicine matrix as an effective assessment device in clinical practice.
2. Understand the profound impact of fatigue in women’s lives.
3. Evaluate the primary causes of fatigue using appropriate conventional and functional medicine testing.
4. Begin to use the functional medicine matrix to form an individualized treatment plan for women with fatigue.
