Navigating Complex Client Cases: The Role of Gut Health, Sleep, and Detoxification
What if the key to resolving your clients’ most stubborn symptoms is not addressing where it hurts, but looking upstream for the true source?
Join FMCA for an Ask the Expert webinar featuring Dr. Pedram Shojai, a New York Times bestselling author, documentary filmmaker, doctor of Oriental medicine, and the visionary behind The Urban Monk. With decades of experience at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern functional medicine, Dr. Shojai is dedicated to helping people wake up to their full potential. In this session, he will introduce his new platform, Upstream Navigator, a comprehensive ecosystem designed to connect the dots between gut health, sleep issues, and toxic burden to give clients a clear path out of chronic health challenges.
Dr. Shojai will discuss how this root cause approach combines targeted lab data with a robust functional medicine curriculum and personalized protocols. You will discover how the platform explores three main “tributaries” of health and how health coaches can use these insights to help clients move beyond symptom management, understand the actual source of their struggles, and achieve lasting vitality.
What You’ll Learn:
- How the Upstream Navigator platform integrates lab data, clinical curriculum, and personalized protocols to address root causes
- The three primary symptom clusters (gut, sleep, and toxic burden) and how they intersect to drive chronic health challenges
- Strategies to help clients move beyond surface level symptom management by identifying the true upstream source of issues like brain fog, sleep disruption, and chronic fatigue
- How health coaches can apply Dr. Shojai’s unique blend of ancient wisdom and modern functional medicine to empower clients in their healing journey
