Ep 23. Group Programs & Functional Labs Series (2/4) Claudia Petrilli, FHC, INHC - The Hormone Rescue

Author: Jensen Schoonover October 26, 2022 Duration: 26:27
This is part 2 of a 4 part series where I'm interviewing practitioners who have successful group programs that also utilize functional labs! In this conversation with Claudia we talk about her group program The Hormone Rescue, which also incorporates HTMA, DUTCH, and GI Map.  -- Claudia Petrilli is a Functional Health Coach, Integrative Nutrition Coach and creator of The Hormone Rescue program. After years of struggling with her health, being dismissed by doctors, and given hormonal birth control, she sunk into depression and her period went M-I-A. She knew in her gut something was off, but her doctor told her “it’s normal to skip periods — enjoy it”. At that moment, she made the decision to advocate for herself and learn everything she could about women’s hormone health. It changed her life, so she decided to become a Functional Health Coach to help other women. Claudia has been practicing a functional approach to health, coaching busy, stressed out women for a decade on how to optimize their hormone health. She addresses gut dysfunction, blood sugar dysregulation, nutrient imbalances, detoxification, and more, utilizing leading-edge functional testing like the DUTCH, GI-MAP, HTMA, and blood work analysis. Claudia has completed a variety of courses and programs and continues her education in order to best serve her clients. When she’s not supporting her clients, Claudia can be found sipping a giant mug of matcha or spending time outdoors with her partner, Michael, and their adorable dog, Dawson. www.claudiapetrilli.com @healthcoachclaudia -- 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.
