For my practice, this is one of the most helpful books I've ever bought. It is based on functional medicine and has a wonderfully detailed questionnaire which clients complete and it then gives an explanation of the meaning of the client's response to every item. You can use the results as a baseline and then to chart progress. I've found that, the more you use it, the more you develop your own practice. I would recommend it to any practicing health care professional.

In depth Nutritional Analysis workbook
1 July 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
For myself, I became aware of the NAQ (Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire) a few years ago through my FNP who was also a nutritional therapist. The NAQ assisted her in identifying specific digestive issues that were causing some severe health problems. Quite frankly I think she saved my life through the NAQ. Since the FNP has left our region, Weatherby's book provides me with the working tools to continue connecting the dots between my symptoms, nutritional status and health issues and enables me to ask informed questions of my health care providers.
This is a excellent, in-depth question by question discussion guide to the 'Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire 1.5'. The book has been 'recommended reading' by the Nutritional Therapy Association in their training program. A complete NAQ questionnaire is included. Note: while the book says you can get digital copies of some of the materials, I was not able to acquire a digital questionnaire copy by sending emails as directed by the book. But after doing a thorough search on Google, I was able located PDF copies of the forms matching those in the book. Or you could simply scan in the forms and charts from the book to make working copies.
The book's approach is 'functional medicine' and the intended target audience is health care professionals, dieticians, nutritional counselors, not the nutritional newbie. That being said, I think anyone with a good understanding of nutrition fundamentals and a lively interest in functional medicine could utilize the information in this book. The book, as a teaching text about how to interpret the results of an NAQ, makes specific recommendations for further assessment as well as generic supplemental support. It's a great resource for the pro-active patient.
Since it is an expensive book, I'd encourage people to preview portions of the text through Google Books. That way you'd have some idea if the book will be useful to you. Many of the 'further assessment recommendations' would probably need to be accomplished through a health care provider, but there's certainly enough assessment tips that could be accomplished at home. The nutritional information is very valuable to me because it's symptom specific. The recommendations on supplements is important because it's generic and not tied to a specific brand of products.
I consider this a valuable addition to my family health library and a good investment.

Pick Your Symptom ; Get Remedy's
6 Mar 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Easy to read. I wish this book was spiral bound so that I could copy easier the pages I need to review. It does not lay totally flat on the printer therefore some of the type is missing on some pages of this approx 1 1/2" book.
Did you know the symptom "Fingernails chip, peal or break easily" is an Upper Gastrointestinal System disfunction? Or "Dry Flaky Skin" is in the section Essential Fatty Acids. EFA deficiency is often due to hilary dysfunction. Each Symptom has Supplemental Suport to help this disfunction.
"Awaken a few hour after falling asleep, hard to get back to sleep?", this is a Blood Sugar Dys-regulation problem. It is a classis sign of low blood sugar. At night the blood sugar begins to drop, especially around 1 am. Book recommends keeping a diet diary to indicate the kind of meal that you ate. This book says, this is a temporary solution. Other indications are a B vitamin deficiency or serotonin/melatonin imbalance. Nutritional supplementation to support blood sugar handling problems, beet juice, pancreatic tissue (neonatal bovine) is listed.
This book is one that is used by Nutritional Therapists therefore contains functional evaluation points to test clients pain or tenderness rating in the areas of the body. For example, the Nutritional Therapist will check for the tenderness in the Chapman reflex for the liver as indicated in the book for blood sugar Dys-regulation.
This book is used in conjunction with the NAQ used by the NT. (Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire) which includes questions regarding diet, lifestyle and medications, and then the client rates their symptom burdon 321 questions.
This book is a required book for use in the Nutritional Therapy Training and is used very often during the course. The back section of the book has an Appendix: Diet and Lifestyle Handouts: "Foods to Focus On" and "Foods to Avoid," "Dysbiosis Diet-for Control of Candida, Bacteria, Viruses, & Parsites," "Food Sources for Calcium," and "Foods to Avoid on a Gluten-Free Diet." etc.
