SUMMARY:HANDS-ON Data to Decisions: Saliva & Glucose-Guided Treatment Planning
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ms. Lora Hooper\, BSDH\, RDH\, EFDA \nStop treating symptoms. Start treating the source with the right product\, at the right time\, for the right patient.  \nMost clinicians can read a saliva report\, but far fewer know how to integrate that data with metabolic glucose insight to guide treatment decisions.  \nThis immersive\, participatory course bridges the gap between information and implementation. You will experience how saliva diagnostics and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) work together to uncover inflammatory drivers\, reduce relapse and protect long-term outcomes.
