The 8-Week System to Integrate Functional Labs Into Your Practice Without Abandoning Your Eastern Medicine Roots

Become the Practitioner Patients Trust for Complete Care



Practical. Applicable. Immediately Useful

"I just completed the Fall cohort and I need to say that I've done A LOT of functional medicine training, and what I appreciate most about this program is how down to earth and practical it was. Dr. Parker trusted our abilities and competence and showed us how to organize our knowledge to make it effective. Not to make this about gender, but I'm going to: I'm so grateful to have found a woman teaching this stuff in a way that is immediately applicable and not just a mass of theoretical info thrown at me. Don't get me wrong, I love the theory too, but this program taught me how to actually use it in a way that truly serves people and changes their lives."

Your patients deserve better than 'normal' lab results while they're still suffering.


Stop referring your toughest cases out! This groundbreaking program is the only one teaching acupuncturists how to find root causes in lab work using Eastern and functional medicine principles.
Your pulse diagnosis says blood deficiency. Their doctor says labs are 'normal.' Who's right?

You are. But today’s patients want data. 

Here's the solution: Run a simple lab test (same one their GP uses), but read it through an Eastern medicine lens that catches what doctors miss. 

Labs don't replace pulse and tongue diagnoses - they validate them in language your patients understand

Your Tongue and Pulse Diagnosis Is Accurate. Modern Patients Don't Trust It…

Here's a scenario you know too well:

A patient sits across from you, exhausted. Chronic fatigue, cold hands and feet, digestive issues, anxiety…

You check their pulse. Crystal clear: kidney yang deficiency with spleen qi deficiency.

Your tongue diagnosis confirms it.

You explain the diagnosis and create a treatment plan. Herbs, acupuncture, dietary therapy.

But then they say it...

"My doctor ran labs last month. Everything came back normal."

You feel the shift in the room.

The skepticism in their eyes.

They want to believe you.

But their Western medicine doctor has data—numbers on paper, reference ranges, percentages.

You have... a pulse reading they don't understand.

And when you explain it?

"You have kidney yang deficiency with spleen qi deficiency and some blood stasis..."

You might as well be speaking Mandarin.

Kidney yang? What does their kidney have to do with being cold all the time?

Spleen qi? But their Western doctor said their spleen is fine.

Blood stasis? Their CBC was “normal.”

The language barrier is just as big as the data gap.

Their doctor speaks in terms they recognize: hemoglobin levels, thyroid function, and inflammatory markers.

You speak in terms that sound unfamiliar: qi, yang, dampness, stagnation.

Both languages are describing the same body.

But only one language feels "real" to modern patients.

So they nod politely. Maybe come back for a few treatments.

But when they're not better fast enough? They go back to their Western MD. 

Or they find a functional medicine doctor who will run labs.

You just lost a patient you could have helped.


This Isn't Your Fault

When you went to acupuncture school, Functional Medicine integration wasn't taught.

You mastered tongue and pulse diagnosis—diagnostic tools refined over 3,000 years of clinical observation

So you already have tools that can detect imbalances Western medicine can’t see.

Tongue and pulse diagnosis detect kidney yang deficiency long before TSH levels change.

They identify blood stasis way before conventional Western lab interpretation picks up inflammatory markers.

They can spot spleen qi deficiency while gastroenterologists are still running expensive tests that come back "normal."

Your diagnostic methods aren't inferior to Western medicine—they're often superior.

The problem is your patients don't understand them. And their doctors don't respect them.

But here's what changes everything…


The same labs their doctor calls "normal" are actually screaming confirmation of your diagnosis.

You just need to learn how to read them through a Functional and Eastern medicine lens.

That’s what this course is all about.


Their doctor looks at ferritin and sees "within normal range." You'll learn to see blood deficiency—exactly what the pale tongue and thin pulse told you.

Their doctor looks at TSH and sees "perfect." You'll learn to see the kidney yang deficiency pattern you felt in their pulse.

Their endocrinologist looks at fasting glucose and sees "fine." You'll learn to see the spleen qi deficiency and dampness you diagnosed.

The labs aren't wrong. The Western doctor's interpretation is incomplete.

They're trained to look for disease. You're trained to look for imbalance—the stage that comes BEFORE disease.

The labs aren't wrong. The Western doctor's interpretation is incomplete.


When you learn to read those same standard lab panels through a functional and Eastern medicine lens...

You can prove your tongue and pulse diagnosis with data that your patients understand.

You can show them exactly WHY they feel terrible even though their doctor said "everything's normal."

And when you can do that…

You become the practitioner who finally makes sense of their suffering.



The Acupuncture Field Is Evolving With or Without You. This Is How You Lead (Instead of Follow).

I need to tell you something that might be uncomfortable to hear.

The acupuncture landscape is shifting fast...

And many acupuncturists have no idea it's happening.

I built this method over 10+ years of clinical practice, working with real patients facing complex chronic health issues that conventional medicine couldn't solve.

And it works.

Today, I run two thriving acupuncture practices—one in Oakland and one in Nevada City. 

Both locations are consistently booked out weeks in advance.

I employ multiple acupuncturists at both practices, and every single one of them uses functional lab integration. 

It's not optional in my clinics; it's foundational to how we practice.

Because when you can validate Eastern diagnoses with Western data:

  • Patient retention improves. 
  • Referrals pour in. 
  • Treatment outcomes improve dramatically.



You stop being "alternative medicine" and become complete integrative care.

You start getting referrals from physicians, not just from wellness practitioners. 

Patients describe you as 'my functional medicine doctor' instead of 'my acupuncturist.' 

And you're no longer the last resort—you're the first call.

Two Types of Practitioners Are Emerging

Here's what's happening in the field:

Type 1: Skilled acupuncturists who refer out complex cases because they can't bridge the credibility gap.

They're seen as "alternative medicine"—something to try when Western medicine fails.

These acupuncturists charge moderate fees because patients view them as supplemental care.

And they struggle to retain patients when conventional doctors dismiss their diagnoses.

Type 2: Integrated practitioners who validate Eastern diagnoses with functional lab data.

They keep the complex cases that other acupuncturists might refer out.

These acupuncturists are seen as "integrative medicine" and a complete health solution.

So they receive more referrals and command premium prices. 



The Window to Lead This Integration Is Open. But It's Closing.

Right now, integrated acupuncturists aren't everywhere yet.

That gives you an advantage.

When you're one of the few practitioners in your area who can validate Eastern diagnoses with functional lab data, you become the obvious choice for complex cases.

Patients will drive farther to see you. Other providers will send referrals your way. And you'll command premium prices because you offer something many acupuncturists can't.

But this advantage has an expiration date.

More schools will adopt this curriculum, and more practicing acupuncturists will get this training. 

Patients will start expecting this integration as standard practice.

The shift is already happening.

And here's what happens when you’re late to adapt:

Functional medicine integration won't make you special anymore. It will be the baseline.

The practitioners who learn this NOW will be positioned as the established experts who've been doing this for years.

The ones who wait will be playing catch-up, trying to compete with younger graduates who had this built into their education from day one.



Your Competitors Aren't Waiting


While you're reading this, other acupuncturists are already integrating functional medicine into their practices.

When potential patients Google "acupuncturist functional medicine near me," they're finding those practitioners, not you.

Local wellness directories are featuring them as "integrative practitioners."

Other providers are sending their complex cases to them.

Every month you wait is another month they're building their reputation as the integrated expert in your market.



Limited Seats Available for Spring 2026 Cohort

The live format means I can only work with a limited number of practitioners.

The Friday masterminds require small group sizes so I can personally help you implement this into YOUR specific practice.

When enrollment closes on February 13th, the next opportunity won't be until next fall.

That's potentially 7+ months of:

  • Referring out cases you could keep
  • Losing credibility to "normal" lab results
  • Watching other practitioners position themselves as the integrated experts in your area
  • Missing revenue from patients seeking complete care

The field is evolving.

You can either lead this evolution or watch it pass you by.



Why Lab Integration Transforms Acupuncture Practices

I built this method over 10+ years of clinical practice, working with real patients facing complex chronic health issues that conventional medicine couldn't solve.

And it works.

Today, I run two thriving acupuncture practices—one in Oakland and one in Nevada City. 

Both locations are consistently booked out weeks in advance.

I employ multiple acupuncturists at both practices, and every single one of them uses functional lab integration. 

It's not optional in my clinics; it's foundational to how we practice.

Because when you can validate Eastern diagnoses with Western data:

  • Patient retention improves. 
  • Referrals pour in. 
  • Treatment outcomes improve dramatically.


You stop being "alternative medicine" and become complete integrative care.

You start getting referrals from physicians, not just from wellness practitioners. 

Patients describe you as 'my functional medicine doctor' instead of 'my acupuncturist.' 

And you're no longer the last resort—you're the first call.

Here's what they're saying now:

Dr. Marcia C., L.Ac, Fall Cohort

Dr. Shoshana L., Fall 2025 Cohort


Peregrine W. L.Ac, Fall 2025 Cohort



What Makes This Different From Other Functional Medicine Courses

Most functional medicine programs teach you lab interpretation in isolation.

They give you reference ranges. They explain pathology. They overwhelm you with complexity.

But they don't teach you how to integrate this with your existing Eastern medicine practice.

This program is different because:

You're not abandoning what you already know. You're expanding it. Your tongue and pulse diagnosis skills become even more powerful when you can validate them with data.

You're learning from someone who's both—a licensed acupuncturist AND a functional medicine practitioner. I didn't learn this in separate silos. I spent 10+ years figuring out how to bridge these two worlds in actual clinical practice. I understand exactly where you're starting from because I started there, too.

You get the business implementation, not just the science. I teach you how to get patients to actually DO the labs, how to explain the value, and how to integrate this without disrupting your current practice flow.

You're joining a community. The Friday masterminds aren't just about learning labs—they're about solving real practice challenges together. The fall cohort became a support network that's still active today.



The Results Speak for Themselves


Integrated practitioners who validate Eastern diagnoses with functional lab data keep more complex cases instead of referring them out.

For example:

  • Hashimoto's thyroiditis patients
  • PCOS patients who've tried everything
  • Chronic fatigue patients with "normal" labs
  • Perimenopause/menopause with multiple symptoms

In fact, the complex cases that used to walk out the door become your greatest successes.

Other practitioners start referring TO you instead of you referring out.

Revenue increases because you're providing complete care, not supplemental treatment.

And most importantly: Your patient outcomes improve dramatically.

Because you're confirming your diagnosis, tracking treatment progress, and making treatment adjustments based on quantifiable data.



Your Practice Today vs. After This Program

Let me paint you two pictures.

Both are six months from now. Both feature you in your practice.

The only difference is whether you take this training or not.



Scenario #1: Six Months From Now (Without This Training)


A patient walks in with chronic fatigue, anxiety, and digestive issues.

You check their pulse. Crystal clear: kidney yang deficiency with spleen qi deficiency and some blood stasis.

You explain the diagnosis. You outline your treatment plan.

But then they pull out their lab results from last month.

"My doctor said everything's normal. TSH is 3.2. Iron is fine. No inflammation."

You feel that familiar sinking feeling.

You know you're right. You can see and feel it in their tongue and pulse. But you can't prove it with their labs because you don't know how to read them through an Eastern medicine lens.

So you do what you always do: treat them anyway, hope they trust you enough to stick with it, and watch them slowly lose faith when results don't come fast enough.

Three weeks later, they cancel their standing appointment.

You just lost a patient you could have helped.

This scenario repeats itself 2-3 times every month.

Complex cases walk out. Referrals to functional medicine doctors pile up. Revenue you should be earning goes elsewhere.

You're still seen as "alternative medicine"—something most people only try after everything else fails.


Picture #2: Six Months From Now (With This Training)


The same patient walks in with the same symptoms.

Same pulse reading: kidney yang deficiency with spleen qi deficiency and blood stasis.

But this time, when they mention their "normal" labs, you pull up their results on your screen.

"Your doctor called your TSH of 3.2 normal, which it is conventionally. But look here..."

You point to the screen.

"Your TSH is creeping toward the high end of normal. Your free T4 is low-normal, and your T3 conversion is poor. See this reverse T3? It's elevated. This pattern—combined with your suboptimal cortisol—is exactly what I'm feeling in your pulse as kidney yang deficiency."

Their eyes widen.

"Your ferritin is 28. Conventionally normal because the range goes down to 10. But functionally, this is blood deficiency, which is why you're exhausted, and your tongue is so pale."

You scroll down.

"And look at this cluster: glucose riding high at 94, insulin elevated, CRP showing inflammation. This validates the spleen qi deficiency and dampness I diagnosed."

The patient sits back.

"Why didn't my doctor explain any of this?"

"Because they're looking for disease. I'm looking for imbalance—the stage before disease shows up."

They book out 12 weeks of treatment on the spot. 

Two weeks later, her sister books. A month after that, her PCP emails asking about your approach to thyroid dysfunction. 

You've gone from defending your diagnosis to being sought out as the expert.

You raise your rates because you're not "alternative medicine" anymore.

You're complete integrative care.


-> You’ll Learn the Business Side (That Most Courses Skip)<-

➡️ Functional Medicine for Your Acupuncture Practice teaches you the exact systems that make lab integration profitable and sustainable:

➡️ How to present labs to new patients so they see the value immediately and schedule testing during their first appointment instead of saying, "let me think about it."

➡️ My exact pricing structure for lab analysis sessions, including what I charge, how long intake sessions take me, and the multiple pricing models you can choose from, depending on your goals.

➡️ The workflow that doesn't eat your day: From requisition forms to panel builders to patient analysis templates, you get every time-saving system I use. 

➡️ How to work with insurance: Many patients can get standard panels covered through their primary care doctor. You'll learn when to guide them in that direction and when to order directly.

➡️ Building functional medicine treatment packages that patients actually buy: The psychology of pay-as-you-go vs. upfront packages, how to schedule follow-ups immediately (so patients don't ghost you), and how to integrate lab testing into your existing practice structure.

➡️ Virtual program options: California acupuncturists can work with patients in other states (I'll explain the legal requirements). You'll learn how to run lab analysis sessions remotely and build a virtual functional medicine program.

At this point, I hope you’re starting to understand that Functional Medicine for Your Acupuncture Practice is about much more than just learning to read labs.

It's about building a thriving practice by fundamentally shifting how patients perceive you, trust you, and commit to long-term care with you.

Why I'm Teaching Acupuncturists to Be Primary Healthcare Providers, Instead of “Alternative Medicine”:

I didn't set out to revolutionize acupuncture education.

I just wanted to help my patients get better.

But what I learned over 10+ years integrating functional medicine changed how I see our entire profession, and where it needs to go.



The Moment Everything Changed


In 2016, I completed my DAOM with Five Branches as part of the first cohort of acupuncture residents at Highland Hospital in Oakland.

We were pioneers in a way—acupuncturists working side-by-side with Western medical residents in a conventional hospital setting.

I thought I'd learn how to bridge Eastern and Western medicine.

Instead, I watched the healthcare system fail patients every single day.

The medical residents were brilliant. Highly trained. Dedicated.

But they were being taught to manage disease, not create health.

They were complication managers. Excellent at triage, emergency intervention, and treating acute conditions.

But when it came to chronic illness, preventive care, and the root causes of illness…

They had no tools.

Patients would come in exhausted, in pain, struggling with digestive issues, hormonal chaos, and autoimmune flare-ups.

The labs would come back "normal."

The doctors would shrug and say, "There's nothing we can do."

And I'd stand there knowing I could help them.

I could feel the imbalances in their pulse. See the patterns in their tongue. Understand the root cause through an Eastern medicine lens.

But the patients didn't know that. They trusted the lab results more than my diagnosis.

That's when I realized: Eastern and Western medicine are speaking different languages to describe the same body.

And if I wanted to truly help people, I needed to speak both.



What Real Integration Looks Like


Years before Highland, I spent a year in Hangzhou, China, during my undergrad.

During that time, I experienced firsthand something that most American acupuncturists never see: true integrative medicine.

In Chinese hospitals, acupuncturists work on the same floors as conventional doctors.

The pharmacy is 90% herbs, with a small Western pharmaceutical counter on the side.

When patients need labs, they get labs. When they need acupuncture, they get acupuncture.

Nobody questions whether Eastern medicine is "real." It's simply part of comprehensive healthcare, and is used alongside labs, imaging, and pharmaceuticals to achieve the best possible patient outcomes.



Building What I Wanted to See


After Highland, I started integrating functional lab interpretation into my practice.

Not to replace tongue and pulse diagnosis, but to validate it.

Not to abandon Eastern medicine, but to prove it works in language modern patients understand.

It took years of trial and error. Reading research. Testing approaches. Figuring out which labs and patterns actually mattered. 

But it worked.

Today, I run two thriving practices, one in Oakland and one in Nevada City.

Both locations are consistently booked out weeks in advance.

I employ multiple acupuncturists at both practices, and every single one of them uses functional lab integration.

It's not optional. It's foundational to how we practice.

Because when you can validate Eastern diagnoses with Western data, everything changes.



Training the Next Generation


About a year ago, the Academy of Chinese Culture & Health Sciences (ACCHS) asked me to start teaching.

Then they asked me to do something bigger: design the entire functional medicine curriculum for their new doctoral program.

This 8-week course is the foundation of that doctoral curriculum.

Every graduate going forward will know how to read labs functionally, validate Eastern diagnoses with Western data, and speak both languages in their practice..

They'll be trained as integrative practitioners, not “alternative medicine” providers.

This is the future of our profession.

Practitioners who learn this NOW will become the established experts.

Practitioners who ignore this shift will be stuck playing catch-up.



Why I Created This Course


I created Functional Medicine for Your Acupuncture Practice because I've lived on both sides.

I know what it's like to diagnose correctly and watch patients doubt you.

I know the frustration of referring out complex cases.

I know how it feels to be dismissed as "alternative" when you should be recognized as essential healthcare.

And I know what changes when you can speak both Eastern and Western medicine fluently.

You stop losing patients to "normal" lab results.

You become the practitioner others refer TO.

You build a practice where patients trust you completely because you can prove your diagnosis (and that your treatments work), with data. 

This is NOT about abandoning Eastern diagnostic techniques.

Tongue and pulse diagnosis are powerful, accurate tools refined over 3,000 years of clinical practice. 

They can detect imbalances years before conventional medicine sees disease. They reveal patterns Western doctors completely miss.

As acupuncturists, the problem isn't that our diagnostic methods don't work.

It's that we need to validate them and explain them in language Western patients understand.

Let me show you exactly how to do it.


What You Get in Functional Medicine for Your Acupuncture Practice

8-Week Curriculum

One clear focus each week — two boxes per row

Designed to make lab interpretation feel structured, fast, and clinically usable inside your existing TCM workflow.

Week 1

Intro to Functional Medicine + Setting Up Your System

  • Set up third-party lab accounts (~$175 for patients) + optional pricing models
  • My requisition form that makes ordering labs foolproof
  • The “20-minute secret” system for fast, comprehensive reports
Week 2

CMP + Lipid Panel

  • Hidden glucose pattern that reveals spleen qi deficiency even when fasting glucose is “normal”
  • Lipid markers that scream dampness/phlegm accumulation (often missed)
  • What “perfect” cholesterol can still reveal about metabolic dysfunction
  • What elevated insulin shows about dampness that conventional care won’t explain
Week 3

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

  • Why “normal” hemoglobin can still mean exhaustion (and the ferritin number that clicks)
  • Hemoglobin patterns that reveal blood deficiency + confirm tongue findings
  • Inflammatory marker cluster that validates blood stasis early
  • What conventional ranges miss about blood deficiency
Week 4

Fluids, Electrolytes + Iron Panel

  • Iron study “secret” to catch blood deficiency before anemia
  • Why ferritin of ~30 can still mean exhaustion (despite “normal” ranges)
  • Why ferritin below 50 changes compliance + how to explain it clearly
  • Electrolyte patterns that validate kidney function through a TCM lens
Week 5

Thyroid Panel + Adrenals

  • What TSH rising 2.5 → 3.5 can signal (even if “still normal”)
  • T4→T3 conversion pattern that confirms kidney yang deficiency
  • Reverse T3: the marker most ignore—and why you shouldn’t
  • Reverse T3 as the “smoking gun” for stress patterns + the one question that drives commitment
  • The conversion pattern endocrinologists miss (cold hands + weight gain finally explained)
Week 6

Adrenal Stress Tests

  • Cortisol patterns that validate kidney/adrenal diagnosis
  • Interpret results through both functional + Eastern medicine lenses
  • When to order more tests vs. when the standard panel is enough (avoids analysis paralysis)
Week 7

Hormone Panels + Cycle Mapping

  • Integrate hormone testing with TCM cycle theory
  • Why B-vitamin methylation issues show up as liver qi stagnation
  • Progesterone-to-estrogen ratio that Western doctors misread
  • How that misread explains cycle chaos you’ve been treating
  • Cycle mapping approach that helps patients SEE patterns (beyond BBT)
Week 8

Advanced Hormone Integration

  • Track treatment progress with objective data so patients don’t ghost after 3 sessions
  • PCOS pattern that bridges Eastern + functional diagnosis
  • Your 90-day implementation roadmap (so this becomes your standard—without overwhelm)

The Weekly Schedule

Live 8-Week Program Lecture + Mastermind Implementation Support

Your Weekly Rhythm + Everything Included

This isn’t passive learning. You’ll learn the science and implement it into your real cases, your real workflow, and your real business.

The Business Implementation You Won’t Find Anywhere Else

Most functional medicine lab courses teach you how to read labs. This program teaches you how to implement lab testing into a profitable practice.

Patient Compliance

  • The exact 3-sentence script that gets patients to schedule labs during their FIRST appointment
  • Why some practitioners get 90%+ lab compliance while others struggle (it’s not about being pushy)
  • How to present labs so patients see validation, not doubt, in your TCM diagnosis

Pricing + Value

  • Pricing psychology that makes $250 lab analysis sessions feel like a bargain
  • How to frame the value so patients don’t default to “let me think about it”

Workflow + Time

  • The workflow mistake that makes lab analysis take 2+ hours
  • The template that cuts it to ~20 minutes (without losing clinical depth)

Insurance + Virtual

  • When to guide patients toward insurance vs ordering directly (this affects everything)
  • How to work with insurance: when panels get covered vs when to order direct
  • The virtual session setup that lets you work with patients in ANY state (while you’re in California)

Functional Medicine for Your Acupuncture Practice is the implementation piece that separates practitioners who try functional medicine lab testing from practitioners who succeed with it.

Build a Virtual Revenue Stream

One of the biggest shifts in my practice happened because lab analysis sessions don't require patients to be in my treatment room.

Or even in my state.

As a California-licensed acupuncturist, I can legally consult with patients anywhere in the country—as long as I'm physically in California during the consultation. 

Patients have their blood drawn at their local LabCorp. Results come back in 24 hours. We meet on Zoom.

With the skills you’ll learn in this course, you're no longer limited by geography.

Lab analysis sessions are easy to do virtually. I usually spend about 20 minutes prepping. Then, 30 minutes on Zoom reviewing results and delivering their treatment plan.

I charge $250 for these sessions. And the rate is the same whether they're sitting across from me or on a screen.

$250 is actually on the low end of what many practitioners charge for this service. 

And here's what surprised me: virtual patients are often MORE committed.

Typically, they’ll have sought you out specifically for this expertise. And they're ready to commit to regular check-ins.

I schedule 30-minute virtual follow-ups throughout the week (between in-person appointments or on days I'm not at the clinic). 

Patients love it because there's no commute. I love it because I can fit more appointments into my schedule without burning out.

You can run your entire practice virtually if you want. Or add virtual sessions as a revenue stream to complement and support your in-person work.

With these skills, your expertise can reach anyone with a LabCorp nearby and a Zoom connection.

When seats fill, enrollment closes.

NOTE: Enrollment may close before the deadline

The next cohort won't be until Fall 2026—potentially 7+ months of continuing to:

  • Refer out complex cases
  • Lose patients to "normal" lab results
  • Watch other practitioners position themselves as the integrated experts in your area
  • Miss revenue from patients seeking complete functional care



Important Dates:

📅 Enrollment Deadline: February 13th 2026

📅 Program Start: Spring 2026 February 16th 2026

📅 Program Schedule: Mondays & Fridays, 11 am-1 pm PST for 8 weeks

📅 One-Month Cohort Reunion: One month after program completion




This Is Your Moment

Six months from now, you'll either be:

The practitioner who validates Eastern diagnoses with functional labs, keeps complex cases, and commands premium prices as an integrative expert offering complete care...

Or the practitioner patients still see as "alternative medicine" instead of a complete functional healthcare provider.

The choice is yours.



What This Credibility Gap Actually Costs You

Let's do the math.

If you lose just 3 complex chronic cases per month because you can't validate your diagnosis with labs...

That's 36 patients per year who could have been in your practice for regular treatment.

At $150 per treatment, once weekly for even 3 months... that's $1,800 in lost revenue per patient.

36 patients × $1,800 = $64,800 in annual revenue walking out your door.

Not because you can't help them. Because you can't prove it.


You Didn't Train for Years to Defend Your Expertise

You became an acupuncturist to help people heal.

And the patients coming to see you with "unexplained" fatigue, the ones who've been told by their Western MD that their thyroid is "fine," the ones losing hair and gaining weight and being handed antidepressants—these patients need what you know.

They need someone who understands how kidney yang deficiency shows up on an adrenal stress test.

And how dampness and phlegm correlate with triglyceride numbers.

And how ferritin patterns confirm blood deficiency weeks before it shows up as clinical anemia.

You're Already Doing the Hard Part

You're already diagnosing these patterns.

You're already treating them successfully.

The only thing missing is the validation that keeps those patients in your treatment room long enough to see results.

Six Months From Now...

One of two things will be true:

Either you'll be an acupuncturist who runs functional labs, validates Eastern diagnoses with Western data, keeps complex chronic cases, and commands premium prices as an integrative expert who bridges both systems...

Or you'll still be losing patients you could help, because you can't support your diagnoses with the data modern patients expect.

The Gap Isn't Your Clinical Skills

You've already mastered tongue and pulse diagnosis.

You've already developed the pattern recognition that takes years to refine.

The gap is in the translation. In the bridge between your diagnostic mastery and the language your patients have been conditioned to trust.


This course builds that bridge. In eight weeks.

You Already Know You Need This

You wouldn’t have read this far if you didn’t.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this within my scope of practice as an acupuncturist?

Yes. As a California-licensed acupuncturist, ordering and interpreting functional labs is within your scope of practice. I personally confirmed this with the California Acupuncture Board when I began this work. You do not need additional certifications—your LAc is sufficient.

I’ve never ordered labs before. Is this course for total beginners?

Absolutely. Most acupuncturists in the Fall cohort had never ordered labs before. We start from the ground up—what a requisition form is, how to set up your third-party platform, and how to walk patients through the process. By Week 2, you’ll have labs ordered for your own patients.

How much do the labs cost patients?

The foundational functional blood chemistry panel I teach costs patients around $175 through third-party platforms like Evexia. This is significantly less than the $500+ patients often pay through LabCorp directly. Keeping lab costs low helps patients continue weekly acupuncture care.

How long does it actually take to analyze labs?

Once you learn my system, about 20 minutes per patient. You’ll use my lab analysis template so you’re never starting from scratch. Most of the analysis happens during your $250 lab review session with the patient.

Which third-party lab platform should I use?

I primarily use Evexia because it’s the most affordable and offers real human support. Rupa Health is another option, but costs about $80 more per panel. Professional Co-op is also available. All platforms are free to join, and you’ll compare them during Week 1.

Do I have to attend live, or can I watch recordings?

You can watch recordings if you miss a session. However, I strongly encourage live attendance—especially for Friday Masterminds. That’s where we troubleshoot real patient cases, answer implementation questions, and problem-solve together. Group learning is extremely powerful.

Are CEUs included?

Yes. You’ll earn 24 LIVE Category 1 California CEUs simply by attending the course. These are board-approved continuing education credits.

Can I use these labs with my existing patients?

Absolutely—and your existing patients are often the best place to start. They already trust you. Many acupuncturists in the Fall cohort introduced labs to patients who had plateaued and saw immediate improvements in compliance and outcomes.

Can I do this virtually, or do patients need to be local?

You can absolutely work virtually. As a California acupuncturist, you can consult with patients via telehealth. Patients can have labs drawn at their local LabCorp.

Will insurance cover these labs?

No. Because we use third-party platforms that negotiate discounted lab pricing, insurance does not apply. However, at around $175, labs are often cheaper than insurance deductibles and copays— with no prior authorization headaches.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. Payment plan options are available at checkout. The full program investment is $2,500.
