From the outside, this planner looks like any other planner - but inside, it's specially designed to be your record-keeping journal, helping you track essential information on your functional medicine journey.
The care planner is your best tool for beating overwhelm and burnout, creating a sustainable budget, and communicating effectively with your medical providers. Inside you will find prompts to help you organize, document, track, and budget, as well as helpful advice on ways to partner with family, educators, and medical providers on your personalized care plan.
The care planner has space for you to track everything related to your functional medicine journey including:
● Supplements
● Prescriptions
● Labs
● Therapies
● Exercise
● Diet changes
● Symptoms
● Gains
● Budget
● Appointments
● Regressions
● And more!
Your care planner allows your provider to see how your plan is working in real time. Bringing your care planner to each appointment will help you quickly and accurately report what you've been doing and the results, so that you can confidently communicate what's working, what's not working, and prioritize next steps with your provider.
You may also like the companion Hope for Healing Workbook. Healthcare is fragmented! It is crucial to develop the skill set to design your comprehensive and coordinated care plan that matches your current ability and fosters consistency and continuity of care. No medical provider or therapist can connect and layer all the pieces of a comprehensive care plan in a safe and intelligent sequence, implement and sustain the plan for you. That is your responsibility, and it is challenging, considering the abundance of information to sift and sort through, and the number professionals who are part of your care team. Think of the workbook as your map though your change process.
And the best part? This planner is undated and lasts an entire year - so you can start on Page 1 the moment you get it. You'll be blown away by how much progress you can make in one year!
Ware, Kara: - Kara Ware, a National Board and Functional Medicine Health Coach, has spent nearly two decades healing her son of the underlying causes creating the symptoms commonly referred to as Autism. She did not accept the limiting belief there was nothing she could do for her son. Her son looked like he was in unbearable pain. She knew there must be something she could do to help him feel better, and therefore, behave better. In times of dial-up internet and flip phones that did not text, let alone take photos and videos, she was divinely guided to learn about the sources of inflammation that were causing his pain and intolerable and terrifying Autistic behaviors and symptoms and how to intelligently and safely layer interventions to work in combination. Kara discovered there were even more underlying conditions than Leaky Gut, Vitamin and Mineral Depletion, Microbial Overload, Suppressed Immune System, Heavy Metal and Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, etc. She found her thoughts, which created her words, and then her actions which created her habits, which then created an atmosphere of healing was what ultimately allowed Kara to accomplish what many say is impossible. When her perspective changed, and her anger turned to embracing what this journey had come to teach, the healing began. She learned her son came to teach her this shift from fear to love and how to support her family to thrive in today's environment. Kara's Workbook and Planner are the accumulation of what Kara found and was willing to do to heal her son from this once thought dead-end diagnosis. Many pieces may seem insignificant; however, when all the nutrition and lifestyle and genetics and medical changes are layered in overtime to work in combination, and when love is the motivator, and the home becomes the headquarters for healing, miracles will happen.
