• Know which lab tests are appropriate for assessing different types of allergies and how to order the tests for clients.
• Understand the difference between inhalant, contact, food intolerance, and hypersensitivity allergies, and which tests are most appropriate for each type of allergy – so that you can explain to your clients how these markers correlate to their symptoms, and help them create a protocol for symptom relief.
• Understand how and when to implement an elimination/provocation protocol and which foods or supplements contribute to allergic burden, so you can support your client to attain the vibrant health they deserve.
• Be familiar with the case studies presented involving allergic and autoimmune response; know how to recognize and address similar patterns in your own clients.
