Skyrocket Your Functional Medicine Practice<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStart Here\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t Are you a health coach, PA, NP, nutritionist\/dietician, MD\/DO, or DC?<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t Are you interested in using Functional Medicine in your practice but don’t know where to begin? <\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t Or have you reached a plateau with what you know and want to go to the next level?<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t Do you need someone to bounce cases off of?<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t Have you looked for a mentor online but either come up with no one or have found a mentor that is too cost-prohibitive?<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t Attending conferences is one thing, but applying the principles on Monday morning before you’ve had your coffee is another.<\/p>\n I was in your shoes back in 2012.<\/strong> I attended my first Functional Medicine conference: IFM’s AFMCP. It was like drinking from a fire hose.<\/p>\n\t\t Even as I progressed through the advanced modules, I was still\u00a0stumped on how to apply what I learned in my practice despite having spent thousands of dollars and many hours in education and training.<\/strong> I began by dissecting each lecture, but it took up to 12 hours to draft a protocol that was usable, and even then, I was unsure.\u00a0 As fate would have it, just as I found functional medicine and began training, I became very sick.<\/p>\n However, I was fortunate enough to have a mentor who reviewed my cases with me – for 3 months!<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t With the guidance and support of a qualified and experienced mentor, I was able to think outside of the box, navigate complex cases and explode my practice much sooner than I expected.<\/strong> I could finally tell patients what was keeping them stuck. And I no longer had to preface my workup of fatigue with the following statement: “Most of the time labs are normal –\u00a0 you should consider that you might have underlying depression!” Today, I cannot even imagine saying this to someone.<\/p>\n I’d bet my bottom dollar that all of us have gotten into functional medicine because traditional approaches were not enough to address or even begin to heal our patients. And I’m pleased to tell you (and your bank account) that you don’t have to spend another 6 years (or 6 figures) figuring it all out on your own<\/strong>. You can, but you certainly don’t need to!<\/p>\n\t\t At times, it was a revolving door of colleagues, but I thrive on sharing knowledge and I truly enjoy teaching – even if on a Friday late at night!\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t She saw the results I was getting and joined our practice where she quickly became a very adept practitioner!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t Know where to start in half the time!<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t Enjoy the benefit of case based learning.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t Learn my go-to supplements and how excessive supplementing can backfire.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t Get tips on how to establish trust with ease so your client will commit and engage..<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t Decipher when to order from your local lab and when specialty tests are needed.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t Learn how to navigate through possibly not being able to order any labs.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t Learn how to interpret genetics or reverse engineer even WITHOUT the genetic report. <\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t Every call is done through video conferencing.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t So you can focus on key points instead of scrambling to take notes.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t You’re also welcome to bundle your sessions for additional savings. <\/p>\n\t\t Rajka makes learning interesting, fun, and easy (well, easier!). During the year I had the great fortune of working alongside her in functional medicine, I was a newbie, coming from traditional medicine, and it was like learning a brand new language. Rajka’s door was ALWAYS open, even if she was with a patient, knee-deep in work, or on her way out the door. Not only would she graciously and willingly let me barge in and ask questions – anything from the simple to the incredibly complex – she did it with the patience of a saint and in language, she tailored to the recipient’s skill level. She also led several of our practitioners’ meetings, where we would either dive into a specific topic\/segment of medicine\/illness\/ailment or discuss case studies. Rajka’s leadership and wide scope of both knowledge and experience speak to her passion for medicine and teaching, and her eagerness to help us all become our best selves. Now that we are separated by many states, and practicing different styles of medicine, I truly miss the opportunities to learn from Rajka. It is a blessing and privilege to call her a mentor. Do not walk, but RUN for the chance to work with Rajka!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Functional Medicine that makes sense.” That’s how I feel after attending Practice Prophet as instructed by Dr. Rajka. Thank you for taking very in depth subjects such as methylation, mold cases, digestion and autoimmunity and delivering them into usable content that I can apply to my patients. Dr. Rajka creates an atmosphere that promotes learning, questions and practitioner growth in knowledge and also business sense. Her course is the last piece of the puzzle that makes your functional medicine education complete.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Dr. Rajka is an excellent clinician and teacher. She has mastered the art of organizing complex signs and symptoms into a systematic approach to dealing with patients. Her network is vast and as she continually learns and grows she passes on what she has learned and applied in a simpler way to grasp and apply in a clinical setting. I am impressed by her breadth of knowledge and connections. She reaches out to experts in the field and to get answers to difficult questions. I found her practitioner training to be thorough, systematic and practical. If you are new or even experienced, she has a lot to offer and makes it easy to learn. I highly recommend her practitioner training.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Take my Free Masterclass How to Actually Apply Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice<\/p>\t\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\tStarting out in Functional Medicine can be a challenge. \n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t
\n\t\t\tI had no idea where to begin.\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t
\n\t\t\tThe ability to review cases with a seasoned practitioner was unlike any lecture I’ve attended or protocol I’ve certified in – and trust me, there have been quite a few!\n\t\t<\/h4>\n\t
\n\t\t\tSoon after, I had other colleagues knocking on my office door to review cases.\n\t\t<\/h4>\n\t
\n\t\t\tLess than 6 months into functional medicine training, I mentored an NP student as she was about to graduate.\n\t\t<\/h4>\n\t
\n\t\t\tA few short years later, I was one of ONLY a dozen physicians chosen to be a mentor by IFM for their mentorship program.\n\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tHere’s the deal\n\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tIn order to spread the word about functional medicine, we need more practitioners. That is why I am committed to teaching others and sharing everything I know! \n\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tMy 1:1 mentorship and upcoming group mentoring are perfect if you want to:\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t
