The Functional Detox Training Program

How To Implement a 21-Day
Functional Detox Program in Your Clinic

This online functional detoxification course focuses on the steps necessary to run a 21-day functional detox program in your clinic, either with individual patients or taking groups of patients through the process. It introduces the concept of functional detox in a manner that can be easily learned by practitioners and equally easily communicated to patients helping them to appreciate the benefits of a regular cleansing program.

The self-paced online course is for those who are keen to implement a functional detox system right away in their practices and uses recorded lectures to convey an overview of the functional physiology and functional diagnosis of the body’s detoxification systems plus an in-depth look at the "21-Day Functional Detox Patient Guide", which forms the backbone of this program. This 5-module training series encompasses the functional physiology of detox, the functional diagnosis of the organ systems of detoxification, a module on the ins and outs of the 21-day Functional Detox program itself, and a final resources module of all the handouts, forms and questionnaires to help you and your patients get the most out of your time together. As a bonus, this training program also includes a bonus module on heavy metal detoxification plus 4 of Dr. Weatherby’s in-depth Insider’s Guides.

In Module One, we’ll look at the functional physiology and biology of detoxification. We’ll explore the different types of endogenous and exogenous toxicity and their wide-ranging effects on the body through functional and pathological changes to the nervous system, the liver, the kidneys, the G.I., and the immunes system. With an understanding on how we become toxic, we explore the physiological processes behind how the body gets rid of toxins. We will go in-depth into the 5 organs of detoxification, with a heavy emphasis on understanding the biochemistry and physiology of the liver’s detoxification pathways: phase 1 and 2 detoxification, the six enzyme pathways of phase 2 detox with their nutrients, the signs and symptoms associated with a fast or slow phase 1 or 2, and a thorough understanding of the foods and nutrients needed to support a healthy liver. One of the benefits of studying with Dr. Weatherby is the way in which he makes complicated things easy to comprehend and understand.

Module Two explores the functional diagnosis of the liver and detoxification. In this module you’ll learn how to assess the extent of toxicity in your patients and how to determine which of your patients would be a good candidate for a 21-day detox program. Dr. Weatherby will go over 2 important questionnaires that will help with this assessment: The Detox Questionnaire and the Environmental Influences Questionnaire. You’ll learn how to quickly identify the symptoms associated with fast phase 1 or 2 detoxifiers and those patients that have a slow or sluggish phase 1 or 2. You’ll also be introduced to a number of in-clinic assessment tools to further refine your assessment of the detox systems in the body. The final section of this module goes into the biomarkers on a blood chemistry test that help us assess for liver toxicity plus oxidative stress and the general detox capacity of the liver.

Module Three takes all of the information from the previous 2 modules and puts it all together in the Functional Detox Program. Dr. Weatherby talks about the benefits of detoxification and a little about the history of detox through the eyes of Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda and the traditional Naturopaths of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He then introduces the five phases of Functional Detox with a case study. The Functional Detox program is introduced, and each step and stage are broken down in detail. Dr. Weatherby uses the "21-Day Functional Detoxification Patient Guide" that you will be using with your patients and goes in-depth into every step of the program. You will leave this module with a thorough understanding of the fundamental and practical aspects of implementing this program into your clinic.

Module four covers all of the resources that are available to you to run a successful 21-Day Functional Detox program in your clinic:

  • The actual “21-Day Functional Detoxification Patient Guide” in MS Word *doc format so you can edit it to fit your practice
  • All of the questionnaires to use with your patients
  • 14 patient handouts covering in-home treatments, recipes, recommended reading, free-weight workouts for detox, plans for daily, weekly and monthly detox, etc. All of these are in MS Word *doc format
  • 4 of Dr. Weatherby’s in-depth Insider’s Guides in *pdf format

Our final module is a bonus presentation on Heavy Metal Detox. Dr. Weatherby dives right into the Functional Diagnosis of heavy metals by exploring the 24-Hour Urine Toxic Elements Test with Provocation. He covers the background of this test and then walks you through all the steps necessary to perform this test in clinic. He then follows this up with an in-depth discussion on how to support the functional systems of the body during this process covering diet, lifestyle, and nutritional supplementation for each functional system of the body. This bonus module also includes Dr. Weatherby’s Heavy Metal Symptom Profile Questionnaire and his Insider’s Guide to Heavy Metal Detox.

In summary, this program gives you everything you need to run a successful 21-Day Functional Detox Program in your clinic. Successful in terms of the results you are going to see with your patients and successful in terms of the rewards you will see financially.
