Beyond Protocols is a community of Functional Medicine practitioners dedicated to creating Medicine 2.0. We are transforming medicine away from canned protocols and toward bio-individual patient treatment plans. We won't accomplish this with some breakthrough technological "miracle." We will accomplish this transformation by focusing on one client, one patient, one practice at a time.
