Part of our mission  is to create relevant, high-quality educational content to support lifestyle medicine practitioners. With a focus on optimizing immune health, these materials serve as foundation resources for use in your Functional (or lifestyle) medicine practice.
 It is with that intention that we have been able to offer you the clinical immune health toolkit created by The Metagenics Institute.
​The year 2020 has really put a spotlight on the importance of immune resilience. Now, more than ever before, patients have questions, and they’re looking for solutions on what they can do to optimise their immune health. It is with that intention that we’ve created the clinical immune health toolkit.

Immune health clinical assessment tool

The immune health clinical assessment tool can be used to assess acute infections starting on the left-hand side of the document we have listed possible clinical presentations as well as suggested assessment tools which then can be used to determine whether an antibacterial or an antiviral approach is best suited. ​

Infographic: The Immune Response

This document (Infographic – The Immune Response) was adapted from a recent publication in nutrients. We have expanded the content to include phytonutrients as well as therapeutic goals. You can use this document to really personalize an approach based on which action you want to have on the immune response. The back side of the document also lists the therapeutic goals as well as suggested nutritional bioactive to help you achieve that specific goal. 

Immune Health Bioactive Tool

To support both these documents (Immune health clinical assessment tool and Infographic) we have created a list of all the mentioned nutritional bioactive (Immune Health Bioactive Tool) as well as their mechanisms as they relate specifically to the immune response. The references are also included here for a deeper dive into the literature
