Descritpion:
Join Dr jaclyn Chasee ND in this one-day, interactive course geared to prepare you for confidence & competence in a naturopathic approach to infertility, whether you are a seasoned practitioner or new to the fertility specialty. This presentation follows the path(s) you will take your patient down- starting with the first visit & initial lab workup, moving into more complex conventional and functional testing options, through the most common diagnoses you’ll see, and into treatment plans you can put into practice on Monday. Less time in this presentation will be sharing “about” the condition- our sole focus is what is ACTIONABLE on Monday morning. Walk away with lab interpretation guides, template treatment plans, clinical decision-making algorithms, actual case experience and more.
Learning Objectives:
Attendees of this course/presentation will:
- Understand how to perform a comprehensive initial naturopathic evaluation of
- fertility for a couple
- Feel confident ordering and interpreting conventional and functional lab
- tests for fertility patients
- Easily work through a clinical algorithm to reach both the
- conventional/western diagnosis of infertility and to identify the
- functional/naturopathic root cause
- Build a cache of template treatment plans for easy application with patients
