The Basics Flashcards
What are the seven Core clinical and balances
Assimilation Defense and Repair Energy Biotransformation and elimination Transport Communication Structural integrity
What are the six principles of functional medicine
Biochemical individuality
Patient centered
Mind body Spirit
Weblike interconnections of internal physiological factors
Health is a positive vitality
Promotion of Organ reserve to enhance the health span not just the lifespan
Dynamic balance of internal and extra no factors
Key differences between conventional and functional medicine
Assessment and treatment first address the patients core clinical imbalances, fundamentals physiological processes, environmental inputs, and genetic predisposition’s, rather than heading straight for the diagnosis
Biochemical individuality is based on
Genomics and proteomics internal uniqueness
Environmental uniqueness external uniqueness
Name the web like interconnections of physiological factors
Gut liver connection Gut liver neuro connection Neuro endocrine Immuno cardiology Psycho somatic
Conventional versus functional
Differential dx vs etiology +causative patterns and connections
Eliminating confounding variable vs include all variable
Naming blaming vs new lens cognitive organization
Confirmation lab + imaging vs testing cause and mechanisms
Sym suppression vs removing causes and restoring normal function
Key differences between conventional and functional
Mapping system for patients story
CC HPI antecedents triggers mediators PMH ROS FH Diet Med + supplements Social, lifestyle, exercise Physical exam findings Lab Diagnosis by organ system disease Diagnosis and exploration of fundamental clinical imbalances
What is evidence-based clinical practice
And approach to decision-making in which the clinician uses the best evidence available in consultation with the patient to decide upon the option which suits the patient best
Antecedents
Genetic or acquired factors that predispose the individual to an illness or pattern
Triggers
Factors that provoke the symptoms and signs of illness
Mediators
Factors biochemical or psychological that contribute to pathological changes and dysfunctional responses

Gather yourself to create an environment of insight
How do you create an environment of insight
Intentionality a desire for healing without a specific outcome
Centering a ritual of uniqueness or preparation to separate one patient from another
Pre-sensing the art of being and creating presence through body language, voice tone, attitudes, beliefs, emotional state
What is the o in go to it
The subjective and objective details from the patients story within the functional medicine paradigm. Positioning the patient is presenting symptoms and signs, along with the details of the case history on the timeline and the functional medicine matrix

List the steps in order
Acknowledge the patients goals
Address modifiable lifestyle factors
Sydney bakers too much not enough model what are the insufficiencies excesses
Identify clinical and balances or disruptions in the organizing systems of the matrix
Steps of initiate

Referral to adjunct care: nutritional professional, lifestyle educator, healthcare provider, specialist
Initiate therapy
Steps effective behavioral coaching
Tweak the environment
Build habits
Community support
Describe track in the go to it
Note the effectiveness of therapeutic approach and identify clinical outcomes at each visit in a partnership with the patient
List the spiral of change
Precontemplation Contemplation Preparation Action Maintenance Termination
Four steps of assessing a patient’s stage of self change
I have taken action on my problem within the last six months- 1 action Maintence
I solve my problem more than six months ago 2 Maintence
I am intending to take action in the next month 3 preparation
I am intending to take action in the next six months 4 contemplative
Aspects of the pre-contemplative stage
Lack of intention to change behavior
denial of problem
Aspects of the contemplation stage
Searching for absolute certainty Waiting for magic moment Wishful thinking Premature action Chronic contemplators substitute thinking for action I feel so stuck
Aspects of preparation stage
Commitment to action Setting a date of action Publicly announcing the intended change A plan of action with strategies and dates I am ready
Aspects of the action phase
Most of overtly modify their behavior and their surroundings they stop the behavior and they confront their fears. In short they make the move which they have been preparing
Aspects of the maintenance phase
Change never ends with the action stage
Developing an active and intelligent maintenance program is critical
This stage can last from six months to a lifetime
Aspects of termination stage
When the addiction or temptation longer exists people exit the cycle of change
Some problems require a lifetime of maintenance and never terminate
Mindfulness
Greater sensitivity to one’s environment
Openness to new information
New categories for structuring perception
Multiple perspectives toward problem-solving
Aspects of meditation
Increased BDNF
Stimulates the pre-frontal cortex
Facilitates neurogenesis
Effects of meditation
Changes the brainwave activity in the frontal cortex limbic system and hypothalamus among other areas
Increased parasympathetic activity and increase in heart rate variability
Changes in neurotransmitter levels including increase serotonin beta-endorphin melatonin acetylcholine and decreased norepinephrine and cortisol
Increase in gamma waves synchrony long-term meditators during meditation
Increases and cortical thickness and gray matter volume and right hippocampal volume and long-term meditators
Shallow versus deep breathing
Sympathetic stress response includes rapid shallow breathing to increase oxygen supply to the heart brain and large muscles
This can cause a decrease in CO2 and induce anxiety and panic
Deep belly diaphragmatic breathing slow and has a calming effect through stimulation of the Vegas nerve which runs through the diaphragm
As blood flow is greatest at lung bases deep breathing increases oxygenation without decreasing CO2 And cannot cause panic
How do you create
Express empathy
Develop discrepancy
Roll with resistance
Support self efficacy
