Clinicians working at the intersection of functional neurology and functional medicine encounter a persistent and frustrating reality: patients who respond initially to receptor-based rehabilitation but fail to hold their gains. The limiting variable is rarely the neurological intervention. It is the metabolic environment in which that intervention is attempting to work. Clinical neurochemistry, functional blood chemistry interpretation, HPA axis dysfunction, dysglycemia, iron status, gut barrier integrity, and autoimmune load all determine whether the nervous system has the cellular resources to adapt, repair, and sustain improvement.

Clinical Neurochemistry and Nutrition Module 3 provides clinicians with a rigorously organized, case-driven framework for integrating these metabolic variables into everyday neurological practice. Built around the Four Neurochemical Priorities, this course teaches you to sequence your clinical thinking from clinically significant autoimmunity through cellular energy production, glucose and adrenal regulation, and GI and liver function. Functional lab ranges are applied throughout, so interpretation moves beyond normal versus abnormal into clinically meaningful versus clinically significant. You will understand when and why testing is appropriate, what patterns matter, and how to build supplement and dietary protocols grounded in physiology rather than protocol sheets.

This course is designed for licensed clinicians with a working foundation in clinical neuroscience who are ready to expand their capacity to manage metabolically complex patients. Chiropractors, chiropractic neurologists, functional medicine practitioners, and allied health clinicians working with post-concussion, autoimmune, dysautonomic, and chronic fatigue presentations will find immediate clinical application throughout.

Dr. David J. Clark, DC, is a Fellow of the American College of Functional Neurology, the American Board of Brain Injury and Rehabilitation, the American Association of Integrative Medicine, and the American Board of Vestibular Rehabilitation. He holds Diplomate status from the College of Clinical Nutrition and the American Chiropractic Neurology Board and is a certified Vestibular Rehab Specialist through the ACNB. With decades of clinical experience managing neurologically and metabolically complex patients, Dr. Clark teaches clinical reasoning through real case progression rather than theoretical abstraction, offering clinicians a model they can apply immediately in practice.
