CLASS OVERVIEW

The easy-to-screen condition causing diabetes, inflammation & mitochondrial dysfunction in many chronic patients

For every diagnosed hemochromatosis case, 8-10 remain undiagnosed, causing unexplained fatigue, elevated liver enzymes, diabetes, and treatment-resistant symptoms. Meanwhile, anemic patients struggle with cellular hypoxia that sabotages every protocol you try.

Dr. Christy Sutton, who watched her husband suffer through multiple misdiagnoses before discovering his hereditary hemochromatosis, will teach you to unlock critical insights from basic iron panels and CBCs that most doctors misread.

In 5.5 hours, master iron overload diagnosis and treatment, anemia analysis, proper lab interpretation, and proven protocols. While other practitioners miss these cases, you'll have the confidence to help your most challenging chronic patients finally breakthrough.

The Silent Epidemic Hiding Among Your Patient Population

Iron dysregulation is wreaking havoc on many chronic patients, yet 80% of cases go completely undiagnosed. These patients cycle through doctor after doctor with unexplained fatigue, elevated liver enzymes, anxiety, and mitochondrial dysfunction that resists every protocol thrown at them.

The tragedy? Iron overload and anemia are among the most predictable and treatable root causes in functional medicine. Yet most practitioners either skip iron panels entirely or misinterpret the results when they do order them.

Meanwhile, your most challenging patients continue suffering—not because their conditions are untreatable, but because the real culprit remains hidden in plain sight on basic lab work you're already running.

Did You Know...

Hemochromatosis is the most common genetic disorder among Caucasians.
Patients with iron overload typically see 5+ doctors before getting diagnosed.
Standard lab ranges for iron and ferritin can be dangerously misleading.
Iron dysregulation can cause diabetes, liver damage, and heart problems.
Many "treatment-resistant" patients actually have undiagnosed iron issues.
Basic iron panels can reveal critical insights most doctors completely miss.

Introducing the Master Class That Transforms How You Diagnose and Treat Iron Disorders

Dr. Christy Sutton's comprehensive training delivers the iron metabolism expertise that's been missing from your functional medicine toolkit. After watching her own husband suffer through years of misdiagnoses before discovering his hereditary hemochromatosis, Dr. Sutton has dedicated her practice to helping practitioners catch what others miss.

This isn't theoretical knowledge, it's battle-tested clinical wisdom from someone who's lived through both sides of iron dysregulation.

You'll master the art of reading iron panels like a specialist, understand the genetic and environmental factors driving these conditions, and implement proven protocols that finally help your most challenging chronic patients break through their treatment plateaus and reclaim their health.
