Mastering Organic Acid Testing: Summary
Mastering Organic Acid Testing, featured guest Ryan Monahan, a nationally board-certified health coach and expert in functional lab testing. Ryan shared his extensive knowledge on the Organic Acids Test (OAT), detailing its significance in uncovering hidden stressors contributing to various health issues, particularly focusing on conditions like thyroid disease, autoimmune disorders, and chronic fatigue.
Ryan emphasized the comprehensive nature of the OAT, which assesses 76 markers to provide insights into gut microbial overgrowth, mitochondrial function, detoxification, nutrient levels, and more, offering a broad and holistic approach to managing health problems. Ryan analyzed a case study of a 61-year-old male with anxiety, fatigue, weight loss, and immune challenges, highlighting the interconnectedness of gut health, toxin exposure, and nutrient deficiencies affecting mitochondrial and overall health. He explained the critical markers of the OAT and their implications, such as fungal overgrowth producing oxalates and clostridia bacteria affecting neurotransmitters. Ryan also provided practical insights into potential dietary, lifestyle, and supplementation strategies for addressing these issues, stressing the importance of a thorough lab investigation and a holistic approach to protocols.
In the latter part of the show, Evan and Ryan discussed the details of Ryan’s comprehensive OAT course designed to simplify and teach the test to FDN practitioners. The course includes in-depth videos, resources, cheat sheets, and case studies to build confidence and expertise in interpreting OAT results. Ryan offers personalized mentorship and support for course attendees, aiming to equip practitioners with the skills to deliver effective and targeted health interventions based on OAT analysis.
