The Rise of DTC Testing: A Clinical Perspective
How is direct-to-consumer (DTC) testing changing what happens in the exam room and influencing patient outcomes?
oin FMCA for an Ask the Expert webinar featuring Dr. Aaron Hartman, a functional medicine physician, clinical researcher, and author of UnCurable: From Hopeless Diagnosis to Defying All Odds. After years in family medicine and more than 70 clinical studies, Dr. Hartman is known for helping patients with complex, chronic conditions uncover root causes and improve their health.
His path into functional medicine began with his daughter’s health challenges, which pushed him to look beyond conventional care and rethink how healing happens. Today, he focuses on identifying key lifestyle and health factors that help patients restore balance and thrive.
In this session, hosted by Dr. Sandi, Dr. Hartman will share what he is seeing as more patients come in with their own test results. We will explore how this shift is affecting patient engagement, the practitioner relationship, and outcomes, along with what it means for health coaches.
This conversation offers a practical look at how data-informed patients are changing healthcare and where health coaches can play a meaningful role.
What You’ll Learn:
- What types of DTC testing patients are using today
- How access to personal data is shaping motivation and engagement
- The challenges and opportunities when patients bring their own results
- How DTC testing can support or complicate outcomes
- How practitioners are adapting to more informed patients
- Where health coaches can support clients using test results
- Key trends in functional medicine and chronic care
