Lab Ordering Essentials: Organic Acids Labs

4 Weeks

This course helps you overcome the challenges of getting started with ordering organic acids labs. Organic acid tests are complex, nuanced, and hard to explain to patients. Using our patient education system, you will learn to clearly lay out the value and purpose of these tests. Once you master these skills, the cost of the lab kit will no longer be a barrier for your patients. We will teach you specific patient education concepts you can apply immediately to explain how these lab results will directly impact your patients' health and speed their road to recovery.  As you develop your patient communication skills, you will be able to describe the origins and various applications of  organic acids testing as it relates to a multitude of patient health complaints. Students who master the techniques taught in this course can easily sell organic acid tests to the vast majority of their patients.

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.
