Pattern Based Blood Chemistry Interpretation

Pattern based interpretation shifts the focus away from isolated markers and toward relationships across the full lab panel. By understanding how markers influence one another, you can see how the body is producing, regulating, and adapting in real time. This provides a more accurate and complete understanding of physiology.

Functional Physiology and System Relationships

This course goes beyond memorizing markers by helping you understand the physiology that drives lab patterns. Learn how metabolism, stress physiology, energy production, nutrient status, and system regulation influence blood chemistry and interact with one another. Understanding these relationships creates deeper, more clinically meaningful interpretation.

Mineral Physiology & HTMA Integration

Explore how mineral balance shapes blood chemistry and how patterns seen in HTMA connect to lab findings. Learn how mineral relationships can influence metabolism, stress physiology, energy production, and overall physiologic function, providing deeper insight into the patterns seen across bloodwork.

About the Course

Blood chemistry testing is one of the most valuable tools available for understanding human physiology. While many programs teach laboratory interpretation from a functional perspective, they often rely on simplified frameworks that assign meaning to individual markers and apply generalized recommendations.  This course introduces a different approach. It is built around learning the language of blood chemistry, with a focus on pattern recognition, physiology, and context. Rather than viewing laboratory markers as isolated values, this course teaches you how to understand what the body is doing, how it is producing, regulating, and adapting, by looking at patterns across systems.  A central focus of the course is the relationship between mineral balance, metabolic function, and systemic physiology. These relationships help explain not just what is happening in lab work, but why those patterns are occurring. This is the first blood chemistry course designed to integrate mineral physiology with functional bloodwork interpretation while also bridging the gap between blood chemistry and HTMA. You will learn how to view HTMA and bloodwork as complementary tools, understanding where patterns align, where they differ, and what those differences reveal about tissue level trends, circulating markers, and the body’s regulatory responses. Throughout the course, you will learn how to evaluate key laboratory markers including: • complete blood count markers • metabolic and energy related markers • iron and copper physiology • electrolyte and hydration patterns • liver and protein markers • lipid markers • thyroid physiology • nutrient related biomarkers Special emphasis is placed on markers that are often overlooked or misunderstood, including ceruloplasmin and copper markers, a full iron panel with ferritin, vitamin A, and RBC magnesium. These provide deeper insight into nutrient availability, transport, and overall mineral balance. Each marker is taught within its physiological context, what it measures, how it functions in the body, and how it relates to other markers. The primary focus is not on isolated interpretation, but on recognizing patterns and understanding how those patterns reflect broader processes. A key component of the course is learning how the body adapts to stress, manages energy, and prioritizes resources. These adaptive responses are often what drive changes in laboratory markers. The course also includes dedicated training on how to interpret bloodwork alongside HTMA. This provides a deeper layer of understanding, allowing you to recognize patterns related to mineral availability, compensation, and longer term trends that may not be fully visible through bloodwork alone. In addition to interpretation, the course provides practical guidance for supporting the physiology reflected in lab patterns through: • nutrition • lifestyle • herbal support • targeted supplementation This support is grounded in understanding the underlying physiology rather than applying generalized protocols. This course is designed for practitioners, health professionals, and individuals who want a deeper, more connected understanding of blood chemistry. It does not require prior practitioner credentials and is structured as a stand alone certification program for those who want to apply this knowledge in a professional or personal setting. Upon successful graduation, you will be able to set up a professional account with Evexia and begin ordering blood labs. **Please note that bloodwork can not be ordered in NY, RI, or NJ. 

Meet Your Instructor

Hi, I’m Dawn, the founder of Ravens Moon Holistic Wellness and your guide through this Blood Chemistry Certification Course. My work integrates mineral physiology, functional bloodwork, herbal support, and the deeper patterns that shape how the body adapts and heals. Over the years, I’ve worked with over 1,000 clients across a range of holistic modalities, with blood chemistry and mineral balance becoming central tools for understanding physiology, stress patterns, and overall health. This course was created from a desire to teach blood chemistry in a way that goes beyond simplified interpretation. In practice, I found that relying on single markers or generalized frameworks often left gaps in understanding. What brought clarity was learning to view labs through patterns, physiology, and the influence of minerals and metabolic function.That perspective is what this course is built on. My teaching style is clear, structured, and practical, with an emphasis on helping you understand what the body is doing and why, rather than memorizing isolated interpretations.  Here, you will learn the same frameworks I use in my own practice, expanded to help you: -interpret bloodwork with depth and context -recognize patterns across systems -integrate mineral physiology and HTMA insights -and approach labs with greater confidence and clarity As you move through this training, the goal is not just to build technical knowledge, but to develop a way of thinking that allows you to interpret blood chemistry in a more connected and clinically meaningful way.
