What if your patient’s “normal labs” were hiding a serious disease? What if protocols were making them worse, and you didn’t know?

In this episode, Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo sits down with functional nutrition experts and NEPT grads Steph Jackson and Jennifer Whitmire to challenge the shallow training and one-size-fits-all approaches flooding the health coaching industry.

You’ll hear raw stories of autoimmune recovery, near-missed diagnoses, and the tools practitioners need to truly help the clients that conventional medicine and standard health coaching fails.

This episode will change how you approach your role as a practitioner.
