Overview
PIH Academy 5 certification program, led by Dr Russell Jaffe, puts personalized, functional, and integrative solutions together with the aim of tackling the root causes to chronic illness in a 6-module virtual course.
This course will include engaging lectures, QA sessions, and case presentations. It will provide you the practitioner, with clinical and practice pearls to help your clients and practice thrive.
Chronic health issues precipitate from a myriad of origins, but the root causes can be narrowed down to one or more aspects of the following epigenetic phenomena:
- Cumulative repair deficit (inflammation)
- Oxidative damage (antioxidant deficit)
- Metabolic acidosis (mineral deficit)
- Neurohormonal dysregulation (distress and loss of homeostasis)
We can stop fighting disease and initiate restorative healing while achieving whole health. It is time to thrive today rather than just get by and survive.
Objectives
Participate in this course to …
- Get a thorough understanding of the root causes and epigenetic factors of chronic illness.
- How to address these root causes and manifested clinical conditions systematically – by naturally evoking human healing responses and not just treating the symptoms.
- Learn the importance of the burden antinutrients and toxins pose on the body and how to effectively deal with them in today’s world.
- Implement personalized, proactive, preventive, physiology/epigenetic based solutions for achieving whole health in the 21st Century.

Dr. Jaffe has more than 40 years of experience contributing to molecular biology and clinical diagnostics. His focus is on functional, predictive tests and procedures designed to improve the precision of both diagnosis and of treatment outcomes and he has authored nearly 100 articles on the subject.
PERQUE Integrative Health (PIH) launched PIH Academy, led by Russell Jaffe with the goal of educating healthcare practitioners on Physiology First as the basis of functional medicine in practice. The Physiology First practice philosophy focuses on the processes and functions that create, sustain, and optimize life. It is an approach that looks at how the things we eat, drink, think and do impact us physiologically – either supporting or detracting from optimal function. Physiology First (before pharmacology) is at the core of proactive prevention and the practice of functional medicine.
