294: Why Your Protocol Isn't Working (Start With These 3 Things First)

If your patient is doing everything right and still not moving the needle, stop changing the protocol. Start here instead. I'm breaking down 3 of my 5 Clinical Non-Negotiables: the foundational things I address with every single patient before anything else, no matter what they came in for. Here's the unconventional truth: more/better/different protocols aren't the answer. Doing them in the right order is. I've made this mistake - and watched other practitioners make it as well - for over 20 years. A patient comes in with Hashimoto's so you reach for a typical thyroid protocol. A little iodine, some selenium, and maybe Thytrophin PMG. And it doesn't move the needle one bit. That's because you skipped over the most important part of any clinical presentation. In this episode, I walk through three of my five Clinical Non-Negotiables - the foundational systems I assess with every single patient before going after their primary presenting complaint. Learn why upper digestion is absolutely central to everything else. Understand the essential role of bile, and why you cannot out-supplement a nervous system that's stuck in fight-or-flight. You can find all five of my Clinical Non-Negotiables right here.
