The Blueprint for Functional Medicine in Big Health Systems
Building functional medicine into a conventional health system requires real infrastructure — smart phrases, practice guidelines, and templated tools that let clinicians translate what they learned at IFM into day-to-day practice while still meeting RVU and billing requirements. Trust across a system is built deliberately, not assumed — Laura and Kate created a two-day CME training for primary care providers and specialists, run six times over two years, which increased referrals and shifted colleagues toward more holistic thinking. Group medical visits (nutritionist-led and practitioner/nutritionist co-led) solved a major access problem, and the demand they saw for translating functional medicine into practice led Laura and Kate to launch a new company, Whole Health NP, to teach other practitioners how to do the same.
How Doctors Can Build Membership-Based Practices That Create Real Impact
Discover how membership-based practices can help doctors create steady revenue, deeper patient relationships, and stronger long-term health outcomes. Understand why functional medicine clinics may need to work in networks to share systems, data, marketing, outcomes, and clinical support. Learn how precision brain health, group visits, and community-based care models may help doctors expand access while improving chronic disease care.
Why Parasite Protocols Must Start With Drainage
Discover how parasites may influence immune balance and contribute to symptoms beyond the gut, including allergies, headaches, skin concerns, brain fog, and fatigue. Understand how biofilms can protect parasites and other unwanted organisms, making them harder for the immune system and targeted protocols to reach. Learn why mitochondrial energy, drainage pathways, and binders should be supported before addressing parasites so the body is better prepared to process released toxins.
The Science of Cannabis, Pain, and the Endocannabinoid System
Discover how the endocannabinoid system supports sleep, mood, pain signaling, immune regulation, and overall balance throughout the body. Understand why THC dose, potency, age, delivery method, and product quality can dramatically change cannabis effects, benefits, and risks. Learn how medical cannabis may support chronic pain, sleep, and menopause symptoms while requiring extra caution during pregnancy and brain development.
