Genetic testing offers insight and clues into your most complex fatigue clients. Often times, as practitioners, we feel we are guessing and jumping from therapy to therapy with and seeing very little improvement with our fatigue clients. It can be difficult to elicit behavior change with these clients as they do not have the energy to take on anything new. However, genetics brings a deeper understanding of the "why" for your clients and helps you as the practitioner illustrate why compliance to certain diets, supplements or lifestyles are so important at a genomic level.
Incorporating genetic testing in your practice will help you to dive deeper and gain a holistic understanding of your client's health, and tailor their protocols in a more nuanced fashion thereby increasing patient satisfaction, attracting new clients, and increasing overall revenue. This session will illustrate the power of genetic testing to provide quicker and more effective results to your clients by utilizing their genetic blueprint to guide diet, supplement and lab testing recommendations. Case reviews will include common client profiles to demonstrate how genetic testing can minimize the guesswork and save time, effort, and money while using a bio individualized approach to lessening the fatigue of your client.
