Reviewing labs YOU submit, we will look at the relationship between gut health and the brain and see how microbiome and digestive organ problems can inflame the brain, triggering depression, anxiety and many other common brain related symptoms. This workshop includes a series of live workshop calls with Dr. Kalish and recorded video lectures you can digest at your own pace.

Bootcamps
Lab Interpretation Bootcamp
Jun 15-Jul 29, 2022
Join the Kalish Institute practitioner community for an in depth look at how practices are seeing long haul syndrome manifest in the realm of functional medicine lab assessments.
In many of our practices, over 50% of our patients are now suffering long-term ill effects after acquiring Covid. Functional medicine has been working with patients struggling to recover from infections of all types including viruses, parasites and bacteria since the field began. We now need to address the similarities and differences that the impact of recovery from this new virus will present.
There is power in numbers, and our hope for this Bootcamp is to shed light on lab-based solutions and support the development of lab interpretation skills for our current times.
May 3-Jun 2, 2023
Organic acids testing can be applied to a variety of patient populations: Evaluate patients with many common day to day complaints including weight gain, fatigue, depression, anxiety, insomnia and allergies, as well as disorders such as metabolic syndrome, imbalance brain chemistry, and oxidative stress.
- Learn what are the best organic acids test kits to order for an assessment of metabolism, brain function, nutrient levels, and detoxification capacity. There are many choices and it is confusing.
- Understand the types of patients best suited for organic acids tests
- Master the scripts that will guide patients through a step by step process of understanding the purpose of lab testing in functional medicine and convince them to buy an organic acids test kit before they leave your office
- We will review the condition description technique which has proven effective in hundreds of practice settings worldwide - this communication technique allows you to personalize your explanations as to why a test is important for a given patient
Lab Interpretation Bootcamp
May 11-Jun 12, 2023
4-Week Bootcamp
This course provides an introduction to the interpretation of Genova’s NutrEval (OAT).

Dr. Kalish will provide an easy to get started interpretation model so you can design clinically effective supplement protocols right away with your very first tests. We will also look at the deeper levels of the test including exploration of proteomics, genomics and metabolomics to facilitate your ability to continue to learn the many nuances of this lab.
This 4-week Bootcamp is a combination of recorded videos and live calls with Dr. Dan Kalish.
