Read the GI-MAP through the lens of Chinese medicine, and finally treat the patterns you've been seeing clinically all along. A CE-approved training built for licensed acupuncturists who refuse to translate their medicine through someone else's framework.
You can feel it clinically. Damp Heat brewing, a Spleen losing transformation, Gu hiding behind a constellation of unexplained symptoms. Your medicine has been pointing at this terrain for years.
Maybe you have ordered the GI-MAP and the report came back in a language built for someone else's medicine. So you translate, second-guess, or refer out to a naturopath who undoes half of what you started.
Or maybe you have not ordered it yet, not because you do not see the need, but because you do not feel equipped to interpret what comes back or build a coherent protocol around it. So the terrain stays unconfirmed. The root never fully resolves.
Either way, the gap is the same.
You can read the markers. You're less sure how to map them to your pattern differentiation, and which findings actually drive the protocol.
Sequencing matters. Treating too aggressively triggers herx. Tonifying too early feeds pathogens. Without a phase-based framework, results plateau.
You don't want your patient handing the lab to an ND whose botanicals fight your treatment plan. You want to run the full integrative arc yourself.
Even when the clinical case is solid, you're not sure how to communicate the value of testing to patients, or how to charge appropriately for higher level care.
The stool test reveals the cast of characters.Clinical pearl from the course
The practitioner interprets the story.
Not a cheat sheet. Not a Western-only translation table. A complete way of reading the GI-MAP that holds both the marker and the pattern, the science and the soul. Built for the practitioner who refuses to flatten the medicine.
From pathogens and virulence factors to secretory IgA, beta-glucuronidase, zonulin, calprotectin and elastase. What each marker means, what it doesn't and when to act.
See dysbiosis as Damp Heat. Recognize Gu Syndrome in the biofilm-forming organism. Read low elastase as failing Spleen transformation. Bridge two diagnostic languages without losing fluency in either.
The 4 R's (Remove, Repair, Rebuild, Rebalance) sequenced with TCM principles. Herb and supplement synergy. Biofilm disruption. Herx prevention. Knowing when to rotate and when to hold.
Patient selection. Cost-conscious decision-making. Red flags that mean immediate referral. The clinical judgment that protects both your patient and your scope.
Confidently market this offering to your patient base, articulate its value and price your care to reflect the level of expertise you're now bringing to the room.

Structured for licensed acupuncturists with 8+ years of practice in mind, but fully accessible to newer practitioners. No prior lab training is required. Fluency is built from the ground up.
Practitioner-grade resources designed to be used the day after the course ends. Not theoretical handouts. The working documents you'll reach for during every consult.
The single most-requested resource in our pre-launch survey. Every TCM pattern mapped to its corresponding GI-MAP markers, with clinical commentary on what a Spleen Qi pattern looks like on the page versus a Damp Heat or Toxic Heat presentation. Your bilingual diagnostic dictionary.
Learn how to position GI-MAP testing to increase patient trust, retention, compliance, referrals, and long-term practice growth.
Categorized by use: biofilm disruptors, antimicrobials, antifungals, gut repair, probiotics, binders, detox support.
A simple daily log for tracking symptoms and detox support during protocols, turning die-off reactions into clear, actionable data.
A visual decision tree for sequencing the 4 R's, with timing benchmarks for every scenario from simple dysbiosis to chronic Gu.
For women's health practitioners. The gut-hormone integration playbook for PMS, perimenopause, estrogen dominance and PCOS.
When to retest, what to expect and how to read progress. A clinical algorithm that protects both outcomes and your patient's budget.
Built around how working practitioners actually learn. Live sessions for depth and discussion, recordings to revisit and self-paced supplementary materials so you can fit the work around a full clinical schedule.
The structure your peers asked for. 60% of survey respondents named "live with recordings" as their first choice. CEUs will be available upon completion of the course, a review of Reference Tools and a short quiz.
Enroll today to secure your place in the upcoming cohort. You'll get full access to all six modules, live sessions, recordings, and all seven clinical reference tools.
High-quality specialty CEU training in the acupuncture field typically runs $50 per CEU. At 16 CEUs, this course alone would justify a price of $800.
The seven clinical reference tools, the TCM Pattern → GI-MAP Cross-Reference, the Phase-Based Flowchart, the Supplement & Herb Quick Reference, the Hormone Protocol Templates, the Marketing the GI-MAP guide, the Herxheimer Tracker, and the Retest Decision Tool, are independently valued at $490.
Total real-world value: $1,290+
Today this course is priced as my investment in the field. The mission is to put this framework into the hands of as many practitioners as possible. Practitioners who will go on to read GI-MAPs through a TCM lens for the rest of their careers, and bring this medicine forward with them.
As the framework spreads and demand grows, the price will rise to match its value.
A live cohort, a complete clinical toolkit, and a framework that doesn't exist anywhere else. All of it at $31 per CEU, well below the field average.
This course is built for licensed acupuncturists and TCM practitioners ready to integrate functional lab work into their practice.
This course exists to restore something: the acupuncturist’s ability to see clearly. To look at a GI-MAP and read the Middle Jiao as plainly on paper as you’d read a tongue.
So, show up fully for Segment 1. If the lens doesn’t begin to open for you, if you can’t see yourself bringing this integration into your practice, just email us before Segment 2 begins and WE'LL REFUND YOU IN FULL. No friction, no explanation needed.
The purpose here isn't to sell training. It's to put this lens in the hands of practitioners who will actually use it, to deepen their work, raise the standard of care, and bring Chinese medicine into conversation with modern diagnostics in a way that honors both.
If that's you, you're in the right place.
It took me years of study, a lot of investment, and countless hours of clinical practice to condense this knowledge, develop this approach, and create the framework you're about to receive. For you, it's going to cost just a few hours of your time, the core content is 9 hours total, and a symbolic price that's roughly the same as one GI-MAP test.
And here's what you can expect: in 2 days you'll have the confidence to sit down with your next GI-MAP and interpret it cleanly, without second-guessing, without bouncing between systems, without that quiet uncertainty most practitioners carry when a Western lab lands on their desk. You'll read it like you read a pulse.
By the end of Master the Middle Jiao, you'll have a complete framework for reading the GI-MAP through the lens of Chinese medicine, turning a Western lab test into a precision tool that speaks the language of your practice.
Here's the truth: this course costs roughly the same as one GI-MAP test.
One test. That's the price of a framework you'll use for the rest of your career, on every patient, in every consultation, for as long as you practice. After a couple of patients, the course has paid for itself. Every raised consultation fee, every patient who gets results others couldn't deliver, is pure return.
And consider the other side of the equation, the invisible price tag of not taking it. What does it cost to keep guessing at lab results? To watch patients drift away because the deeper layer never got addressed? To charge less than your work is worth because you're not yet seeing what's actually there? That cost compounds quietly, month after month, patient after patient. This course is the end of that.
If you've been waiting for a GI-MAP training that respects the medicine you actually practice. One built on classical pattern recognition, modern lab fluency and clinical sovereignty. This is the room.
