Let’s start by asking a few questions?

  • Are you happy with your current patient outcomes?

  • Do you feel empowered in your position as a health care provider?

  • Are you reaching your highest potential?

  • Can you connect the dots between your patient complaints and the underlying dysfunctions? 

Why saudade mentorship  

Applying Cutting Edge Research in Practice

I've found through teaching and my own life experience, that after learning about new treatments didactically it is sometimes difficult to implement them clinically. Sometimes it can even feel “risky” to start putting your knowledge into practice with your patients. 

We have a gap between researchers and clinicians. I consider myself to be the bridge. Effective treatment is not about reinventing the wheel with each new patient or condition.  It’s about is connecting the dots between what has previously been tried and what has been newly proven.

Personalizing Medicine

You might have heard how important it is to personalize your medical treatment but you were never told HOW.  The ‘how’ depends on individual.  This is personalized medicine taking a comprehensive history, doing a thorough physical exam, and reviewing laboratory results, however, within that you have to look for the root cause of the problem for that particular person. Ask yourself, “What is the main area that is contributing to the dysfunction?” Then, after the ‘how,’ you look even deeper. You then ask WHY - "Why did they develop that problem in the first place?".

TESTIMONIAL

Words cannot express how phenomenal my experience with Dr. Trindade has been.  Regarded as one of the best in the functional medicine business, she has helped shape my clinical practice into a successful, thriving endeavor.  She has decades of experience to share, not only in the clinical aspect, but in the business realm as well.

Changing careers in the medical world was a challenge for me.  Moving from a background in a hospital based practice into an office based practice of Functional Medicine presented bumps in the road that looked like mountains at the time.  Dr. Trindade’s expertise and guidance gave me the clinical knowledge and confidence to successfully climb and conquer them.

Her knowledge of Functional Medicine never ceases to amaze me, and my clinical outcomes on those tough cases have been remarkable.  She has always been supportive and goes out of her way to make herself available to help.  Her guidance as a consultant has helped shape me into the successful practitioner I am today.  I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Dr. Trindade.  Not only has she been my clinical mentor, but she has become my good friend too.

I enthusiastically recommend Dr. Trindade, and welcome anyone to contact me for further discussion.

I feel very blessed to have Dr Trindade available for mentoring for me. As a new functional/integrative medicine physician, I often find myself with clinical questions the answers to which cannot be found in any book. I have found it invaluable to be able to discuss cases and questions with Dr Trindade. She gives practical advice on how to manage difficult clinical cases from an experienced functional/integrated approach. She is easy to contact and a pleasure to communicate with. I feel like I have a mentor for life!
