Join Dr. Chris Magryta and Dr. Erik Lundquist for a comprehensive course on evaluating functional medicine labs from two perspectives: adult and pediatric. In this course, you’ll explore the convergence of lab results across different diseases and age groups, understanding how human lab values vary on a continuum influenced by age, genetics, and time. Mastering these norms is essential before identifying levels of dysfunction, and this foundation will guide you in analyzing lab results confidently for patients of all ages.
Live calls with Dr. Magryta and Dr. Lundquist will be held at 3 PM PST / 6 PM EST on Wednesday, January 22nd & 29th, February 5th, 12th, 19th, and 26th.
All live sessions are 30 minutes, recorded and accessible to enrolled students.
What you'll learn:
- Know the normative of labs based on age.
- Understand the fundamentals and nuances of cardiovascular labs for disease prevention and mitigation.
- Understand the fundamentals and nuances of thyroid labs for disease prevention and mitigation.
- Understand the fundamentals and nuances of blood cellular labs for disease prevention and mitigation.
- Understand the fundamentals and nuances of immune centric labs for disease prevention and mitigation.
- Understand the fundamentals and nuances of micro and macronutrient labs for disease prevention and mitigation.
- Understand the fundamentals and nuances of metabolism based labs for disease prevention and mitigation.
The goal of this course is to equip practitioners with a comprehensive approach to lab analysis across the lifespan, focusing on the unique dynamics of adult and pediatric evaluations. Labs vary not only with age but also with genetic factors and the progression of time, influencing how diseases present in individuals at different stages of life. By understanding these norms and variations, practitioners will be able to distinguish baseline values from markers of dysfunction with greater accuracy.
Participants will learn to interpret functional medicine lab results across age groups, appreciating the nuances of testing standards for both children and adults. This course lays the groundwork for confident lab interpretation, empowering practitioners to make age-appropriate clinical decisions, enhance diagnostic precision, and tailor treatments effectively across the patient spectrum.
