06 HTMA, Blood Chem, and RWS 1, 2, & 3 with Amber MacDonald

Author: Jensen Schoonover June 15, 2022 Duration: 33:44
Amber MacDonald from @empowered.digestive.health is an NTP, RWS Level 3, and the first Instant HTMA Professional student that I've gotten to chat with on a Test Don't Guess chat! We talked all about her experience with RWS and learning all kinds of testing, and why she loves running an HTMA test on every client. We answered multiple questions about how she uses HTMA in her practice, using HTMA to get to the root of hypothyroidism, and her love for pairing HTMA with blood testing. --- Have you joined the party in the Private Test Don't Guess Facebook Community yet?!

Ever finish a nutrition or wellness certification and realize there's a whole world of functional lab testing nobody covered in class? That's exactly where host Jensen Schoonover found himself, and it's the spark for Test Don't Guess-Functional Lab Chats. This podcast digs into the practical, often overlooked tools that can transform a practice, moving beyond theory into the tangible data of gut health, hormone panels, mold exposure, and mineral balances. Each conversation is a deep dive with practitioners who are in the trenches, lab experts who interpret the numbers, and educators who design the courses. You’ll hear how they navigate the complexities of different tests, apply the results to real client scenarios, and build more confident, evidence-based approaches to care. It’s for the curious, the detail-oriented, and those tired of guessing. Jensen’s discussions strip away the intimidation, making advanced functional lab work feel accessible and actionable. Tune in to find clarity, learn from colleagues' experiences, and discover how to integrate these powerful assessments into your own work. This isn't about abstract science; it's about the applied art of using data to guide genuine healing, one insightful chat at a time.
