Many clinicians new to functional medicine feel overwhelmed by starting, or even changing their practices to accommodate their new skill set. Not only are there many functional medicine concepts to master, but there is also a wide array of functional labs to interpret. It can take time to understand how to use these labs and how to communicate these new concepts to patients. Dr. Dan Kalish has been mentoring clinicians for decades and has created ‘The Kalish Method’ to help.
Through years of his own learning and being mentored by icons in the field, he has learned how to guide clinicians through the ever-expanding landscape of functional medicine. In this episode, Dr. Kalish discusses his own journey and offers important practical tips to help clinicians as they navigate theirs.
“Our emphasis is on practice implementation, business skills, clinical lab interpretation, and patient education.” – Dr. Dan Kalish
