Some health patterns do not respond to basic protocols and require deeper clinical reasoning, flexibility, and systems-level thinking. In this advanced six-part recorded series, you’ll explore how complex, chronic, and treatment-resistant cases are approached using herbal strategies, nutritional support, and integrative clinical frameworks.
The course examines why certain conditions persist despite multiple interventions, how layered imbalances develop over time, and why addressing only one system rarely leads to lasting change. Drawing from Western herbalism, Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and nutritional science, the series emphasizes pattern recognition, prioritization, and thoughtful sequencing rather than formula-driven care.
This training is designed for practitioners and advanced students seeking to expand their ability to work with complex cases that require nuanced assessment and long-term strategy.

Complex cases often involve overlapping patterns of inflammation, metabolic stress, nervous system dysregulation, and long-standing depletion. In this six-part recorded series, you’ll explore how difficult and treatment-resistant conditions are approached from a holistic, systems-based perspective, with emphasis on clinical reasoning rather than rigid protocols.
The course uses challenging presentations—including chronic inflammatory and respiratory patterns—as teaching models to demonstrate how multiple systems interact and why improvement often depends on identifying leverage points rather than targeting isolated symptoms. You’ll learn how to assess contributing factors, recognize dominant patterns, and determine which supports are most appropriate at different stages of care.
Throughout the series, herbal categories, nutritional strategies, and food-based interventions are discussed within a framework of safety, dosing awareness, and adaptability. Attention is given to working thoughtfully with intensity, understanding therapeutic windows, and supporting the body’s capacity for regulation over time. The material is designed to sharpen discernment and expand therapeutic range when standard approaches have not produced lasting results.
