Finally… A Trusted Place to Find Skilled Functional Practitioners
The first time I fired my Doctor, it felt so weird.
After all they work FOR us. So why did it feel so wrong?
In everything but my health, if someone doesn’t do a good job, I have no problem firing them…
Like if I hired someone to mow the lawn and they killed my grass… FIRED.
Or if I hired someone to change my oil and the engine blew up… FIRED.
Or if I hired someone to do my taxes and I ended up in trouble with the IRS… FIRED.
But firing a Doctor is something I never thought I had to do. Until they just shrugged their shoulders and wrote another prescription that didn’t work.
The 2nd and 3rd time I fired a Doctor, things went a little easier, but it sure was depressing. I honestly didn’t think there was anyone out there who could figure out was wrong with me.
Finding a Skilled Practitioner Was One of the Hardest Things I’ve Ever Done in My Life
Not only was I sick, but working with terrible practitioners literally stole every ounce of my hope.
After years of this, I FINALLY found a truly Skilled Functional Practitioner that put a lot of the pieces together for me and did some amazing work on my body. For the first time, I had hope I could get healthy…
That’s why Steve and I created SCD Lifestyle 5 years ago; to give you hope…
The hope we didn’t have when we were sick…
The hope that you can get better and that others like you are getting better… the community to know you’re not alone.
You may have heard of our Time Machine Rule: At SCD Lifestyle, everything we do starts with our core question: “If we could go back in time and help ourselves 7 years ago, what would we do? What did we need? How could we get better faster?”
It’s from that place that we wrote our book and created our meal plans. It’s also why we even studied Functional Medicine ourselves, so we could learn even more about how to help you get better.
On hand one, we feel like we’ve succeeded in following our time machine rule in some ways…
For example, the eBook and meal plans are exactly what I dreamed existed 7 years ago and they’ve helped tens of thousands of people around the world.
On the other hand, it drives me insane to always be recommending people to “find a skilled practitioner.” In just about every podcast, article, or live event, we recommend people “find a skilled practitioner” and to order a #401H Stool Test from BioHealth or other really critical Functional Medicine tools…
It’s like someone who gives financial advice saying, “good luck, I recommend you dig holes in your backyard until you find a rare gemstone that makes you rich!”
So again, we’re asking the core question: “If we could go back in time and help ourselves 7 years ago, what would we do?”
For a while we attempted to answer that question by helping people 1-on-1 in our health consulting practice and that was such a rewarding experience, but it wasn’t enough. It wasn’t what I would have wanted 7 years ago.
Officially, As You Read This Our Health Consulting Practice is Now Closed Forever
Why did we do this? What’s going on?
While we’re beyond grateful we did it, it’s now time to move on. We can’t work one-on-one and change the millions of lives we want to. There’s just not enough time.
And to be honest the health consulting program was unacceptable for us.
The world needs Skilled Functional Practitioners who:
- Understand digestive issues
- Know functional medicine
- Can troubleshoot diet and supplements
- Keep researching
- Keep innovating
- And who keep guiding those of us who are struggling with chronic illness.
What I really wanted 7 years ago was for someone I trusted to say, “Hey, I know how hard and frustrating it can be to find someone that can help, so I’ve gone out and done that for you. Here’s a Skilled Functional Practitioners you can book an appointment with right now that I trust.”
And that’s exactly what Steve and I have built for you today…
Announcing: A Trusted Place to Find Skilled Functional Practitioners
This new resource is called our “Recommended Practitioners Page.”
Here’s what we know after helping people over the last 7 years:
Skilled Functional Practitioners seem impossible to find.
And when you do find them word spreads fast, and they get so booked up that their waiting list is months out. These types of people are just flat out RARE!
I’m talking about people who are skilled in Functional Medicine with years of experience… but also have overcome chronic illness themselves. Even better… people who have trained with Dr. Kalish, the functional medicine institute and will never stop learning the latest and greatest ways to help people.
So we’ve gone out and built relationships with those people for you.
These are practitioners who have been sick and know what it’s like. They also appreciate our approach to diet and as well as trained with our friend Dr. Kalish, who’s one of the best Functional Medicine Practitioners we know… and his protocols have been working for over 8,000 patients in the last 20 years.
These are practitioners who can help you get the testing and protocols you need, but also support you in the diet, supplement, and lifestyle changes that your body is asking you for.
The first two trusted resources are ready to work with you right now…
