THE KNOWLEDGE

Lifetime Access to The Functional Blood
Chemistry Analysis Mastery Training Program:
12 Online Training Sessions

Watch this short "ODX Academy Walk-through" Video:

In this 3-month Mastery Training I will teach you ways to analyze over 100 biomarkers that will give you an incredible amount of detailed data from the blood tests you are ordering for your patients. By using a unique method of analysis you will be able to sleuth out the cause of the major dysfunctions that plague your patients... No more telling your patients that their blood tests look normal... No more wasting your patients' money and your time by ordering tests that don't tell you that much.

In 12 comprehensive training sessions I will cover essential blood biomarkers that patients (especially those over the age of 40) MUST have each year. Annual blood testing is the most important step that your patients can take to prevent life-threatening disease. You will know which of these biomarkers to order and when, so you can catch critical changes in your patients' functional state before they manifest as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or worse.

I will be covering the biomarkers that make up our 3 ODX Blood Panels: ODX Vital, ODX Performance and ODX Ultimate. Having the proper blood test panel in hand and knowing how to do a thorough functionally-oriented analysis of the results can empower you to enact science-based disease-prevention programs that could add decades of optimal function to your patients' lives.

During the training sessions I will go over a series of blood test results so you can see first hand how I do a functional analysis of blood test results.

Each week, I'll be adding a comprehensive Training Session to our exclusive ODX Academy Online Training Center. In these sessions, I will walk you through all the steps to successfully integrate and implement Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis into your practice.

Frequently Asked Questions


Can you use this program on an ipad?
Yes. You can access both the training program and the ODX the software through safari on your iPad but at present, there is no custom app for the iPad or Android devices.
Can the software create reports from varying blood panels or does it need an exact set?
The software creates reports based on whatever test results you enter. There are no preset panels just custom lab templates you can set up in the system. The more results you enter into the system the better.
I run labs outside of the US and my labs are in Standard International units. Can I use the software?
Absolutely. There is no need to convert Standard International units (the units used by every lab outside of the US) into US units to use this software! This is the only software that we are aware of that is 100% usable by practitioners from all over the world. US practitioners use the software in the US unit mode while practitioners from Canada,New Zealand, Australia, etc. can input data in Standard International units, the units that come on their tests.
I get 3 months of free access to the software with my Certification. What will be the cost of continuing to use the software after the 3 months??
I genuinely believe that having access to a software program like this whilst learning the knowledge part of FBCA will ensure you’re successful. I want to give you a chance to test-drive the software before making a decision to continue with the service.

The ODX Platform is an online use-based software program with a Starter Account cost of $20/month. This gives you all the benefits of an ODX Membership (access to reference guides, custom branding, practitioner directly listing, patient referrals, treatment plan builder, access to our "Ask Me Anything" feature) PLUS usage-based pricing for adding blood tests and running Functional Health reports on a pay-as-you-go basis. The cost is $45/blood test

If you know you will enter four or more lab tests each month, then we offer the Blood Chemistry (Unlimited) Add-On, which allows you to enter unlimited blood tests. This is an additional cost of $197/month.

I hope that the value you get from the platform and the value it gives your clients will far outweigh the cost of its use. I have practitioners making over $200 profit from every blood test consultation they do with their patient's blood testing. Just 1 of these a month more than covers the cost of the service, plus you get free upgrades!
Does this training include treatment protocols?
No, the training does not include treatment protocols. We have brought in experts to share their knowledge on each session. This may include treatment ideas or further lab testing to consider.
What do I get when I register for the FBCA Mastery Certification Training Program?

Bonus Lectures From Functional Medicine Experts

Access to Dr. Weatherby's "Ask Me Anything"

Can I make money with the reports from the software?
I know a number of successful practitioners that make $200 profit from every blood test they run. That’s profit above and beyond the cost of the test itself. At that rate of profit, just 1 consultation/month will pay for the software each month! Do more than that and the rest is profit to you!
Does the ODX Blood Chem Software recommend specific products and dosages?
We go further than that by allowing you to build treatment plans that drive patient compliance.

Using the ODX Treatment Plan Builder, you’ll be able to quickly generate treatment plans personalized to your patient’s blood test results using supplement recommendations from Fullscript and leading supplement companies. Once the treatment plan is built, you can run a Health Improvement Plan Report, composed of the "Health Improvement Plan" or HIP and the "Product Summary Report."

The HIP presents your product-specific recommendations on " treating" the top clinical areas you have selected from the blood test.

The "Product Summary Report" summarizes the nutritional product recommendations in the HIP. This report is a one-page summary that your patient can put on their fridge.
How secure is the software?
The software itself utilizes the very latest SSL browser encryption and the Database encryption of ALL personally identifiable data is 100% HIPPA and GDPR compliant. I take your patient security very seriously, which is why I have invested heavily in the latest security features.
Are the sessions live at a specific time and day each week? What's the schedule?
No, the training sessions are not taught live. A new training session goes live and active every week. You'll get an email notifying you when the latest session is live and active in your account!
I won’t be able to make many of the training sessions. Can I get access to them later?
The training sessions are not live! Each session has been recorded and the video is made available in our exclusive members-only training site at the ODX Academy.

The training will include streaming video of the presentation and audio downloads of all sessions in MP3 format. This is a great bonus because you can replay the sessions over and over again. You will have 24/7 access to this archive from any computer anywhere in the world through your members-only ODX Academy account. You can't do that by attending a live event!
Can the software show comparisons over time?
Absolutely. I am a big fan of looking at change over time. I have a historical report and will be working on making the historical reporting section 2nd to none.
What else do I get with my registration?
Your FBCA Mastery Training Program registration obviously comes with access to all 12 sessions but I decided to go beyond that and give you the following bonuses:
BONUS #1Additional Lectures from Functional Medicine Experts:
I want to provide you with tremendous value, which is why I've invited leading experts in Functional Medicine, Functional Diagnosis and Functional Nutrition to provide cutting-edge and advanced training material to all the attendees. These have been recorded and made available in the training vault.
BONUS #2: A Three-Month FREE Starter Account [a $591 value] in the ODX Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis Software Program [a $60 value] PLUS a 3-month Blood Chemistry (Unlimited) Add-On that allows you to enter unlimited blood tests and run unlimited Functional Health Reports
The second part of the Training System is the software. As part of your Certification Training registration, you’ll get 90 days of unlimited access for FREE. This will give you enough time to enter some patients into the software, generate some reports, do some patient consults, etc.
Can I get Continuing Education?
Continuing Education Credits (CEU) Information

We are honored by the diverse interest in our online training programs from a wide range of professionals, including MDs, DCs, DOs, NDs, NPs, nutritionists, dieticians, and more. We understand the importance of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) in maintaining and enhancing professional competence. However, due to the complexity and the constantly evolving standards for CEU accreditation across the various disciplines, we are currently unable to directly offer CEUs for our training programs. Ensuring compliance and relevance for all the different groups we serve presents significant challenges.

Despite this, we are pleased to provide participants with a certificate upon completion of the program, which verifies the number of hours taken and includes a detailed breakdown of the program content. This certificate can be submitted to your respective professional board for possible CEU consideration. While we cannot guarantee acceptance, this documentation may assist in meeting your continuing education requirements.

We are committed to providing high-quality, impactful education and are exploring ways to support your continuing education needs in the future. In the meantime, we encourage you to review the learning objectives and content of our programs to determine if they meet your personal and professional development needs.

We appreciate your understanding and are here to answer any questions you may have regarding our training offerings.

How is this program being delivered?
The training portion of this program is being run as an online training. There will be 12 modules in total, plus a bonus module, with 1 training module going live and active in the training site every week. The total hours of training in all the training modules is 35 hours and will focus on a specific organ system or series of blood chemistry patterns.

Dr. Weatherby has been teaching seminars in Functional Blood Chemistry analysis since 2002 in the US, Canada, and Europe and is the author of the best selling book "Blood Chemistry and CBC Analysis: Clinical Laboratory Testing from a Functional Perspective". This training is a presentation of his latest work in this subject. He decided to do this as an online event because so many people have difficulty making a live seminar and he doesn't want to have to travel quite so much! So no travel costs, no air travel, no eating bad hotel food, and no sitting in airless hotel rooms 8 hours/day!! You can take this training in the comfort of your office or home and access the training sessions 247 from our exclusive members-only training site.
What supplement companies are built into the software and can I add my own? What about additional testing recommendations?
Currently, we have protocols from the following companies built into the ODX Application: Apex Energetics, Designs for Health, Metagenics, Moss Nutrition, Xymogen, Biotics Research, Premier Research Lab, Standard Process, NuMedica, OrthoMolecular, Aceva, and Biogenetix. We plan on adding additional companies over time. At present we do not have the facility for you to add in your own product recommendations. If you have a company you use a lot and want to add it into the software, shoot us an email and we'll look into it.

We also have a Generic option and a "No Product" option, which generates a Health Improvement Plan report with no product recommendations. This is great to run if you plan on putting together your own protocol for the patient.
How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own.
Can the software show comparisons over time?
Absolutely. Dr. Weatherby is a big fan of looking at change over time. We have a historical report and will be working on adding additional trend analysis.
Do you recommend a discount lab offering lower prices on blood tests?
Yes, we recommend a company called Ulta Lab Tests. I have been working with them since 2013 and they give good discounts on lab tests and have our ODX panels already in their system. We have an integration with Ulta Lab Tests so we can download lab results run through your Ulta lab account directly into your software account thus bypassing the manual input. Your Free Professional account in the software allows for this integration!
You mentioned that we'll get a 3-month Blood Chemistry (Unlimited) Add-On with our training registration. What do you mean by "Unlimited"?
I understand that many practices have historical data that they’d like to put into the system so I decided to give you a 3-month Blood Chemistry (Unlimited) Add-On with your training registration. This will give you the opportunity to enter UNLIMITED LAB TESTS into the system. Basically, a “test” constitutes the results on a test report you get back from a lab, once you enter that data into the system and press save, it counts as 1 lab test. With our Bonus Special, you can enter unlimited data into the system.
What sort of certification will I get when I register for Dr. Weatherby's "FBCA Mastery Certification Training Program"?
For those who sign up for our Certification Track, you will get a certificate stating that you are a Certified Functional Blood Chemistry Analyst as certified by Dr. Weatherby and the ODX Academy. To get this certification, you must complete all the training sessions, pass all the session quizzes, pass the final exam, and submit a full case presentation. The ODX team will review your case study and get feedback to you. We will then email you your personalized certificate!
Do you have transcripts of the training lessons?
If you join us on the Certification Track you get access to all 55 of the training lesson transcripts, which is over 650 pages of information. These are available as downloadable PDF files that you can print.

"Based upon my past experiences with Dr. Weatherby’s excellent books and seminars, I knew this software had all the marking of being a major positive shift in my clinical practice. After only a week of use, I realized that I had a true “clinic pearl” on my hands. The amount of detail that I can glean from the basic blood work that practically every practitioner orders is truly amazing. As both a private practitioner and a clinical professor at a nationally renowned Naturopathic college I have come to rely heavily upon this program to create truly “game changing” clinical results. Some of my senior colleagues in the Naturopathic field have been astounded with insights this software provides.”

- Shawn Soszka, N.D., LAc

Here's what some real customers say
about Dr. Weatherby's FBCA work

Dr. Weatherby has now trained thousands of practitioners with his system of Functional Bloodn chemistry Analysis and has seen many of them achieve outstanding clinical and financial success.



"Dr. Dicken Weatherby’s software program is an incredibly powerful tool., which has given me an even greater advantage in helping patients with the blood work. There are so many useful tools in the software that are difficult to describe here. But, suffice it to say, my medical practice has benefited from the professionalism of the patient reports, the practitioner reports, and the overall program. There are insights from the software that I would sometimes overlook in blood work, even with all the years of experience interpreting the results. There is really no reason to not buy it. It will enhance the bottom line, financially, and the bottom line of patients getting better"

- Dennis Godby, N.D., Sacramento, California

“I have been practicing functional medicine for almost 10 years. I have used Dr. Weatherby’s books and charts for the past 4 years and have found them to be very helpful in the analysis of my patient’s blood as part of their health picture. The Blood Chemistry Software has freed up my time. Instead of spending 12 hours analyzing my patient’s results, I am able to see more patients. Having a printed report for them is a big value and helps increase their compliance to my recommendations. I especially like the fact that there aren’t any product recommendations; it leaves all those decisions to me. Thanks so much Dr. Weatherby for fulfilling your promise to make this software–I know it wasn’t easy, but it is much appreciated!"

- Kasi Rote, D.C.
