Avant Total Health: Direct Primary Care and Integrative Medicine

03/01/2026

💚💙Hello Avant Family Members-

We hope you had a great past week and weekend. We just wanted to remind you of our upcoming Healing Support Group taking place thi coming week on Thursday 3/5 at 6:30pm.

This support group is free for Avant members to attend and is a safe, non-judgmental environment for you to receive support wherever you are at on your healing journey.

This month we will have a few questions to reflect on and discuss. The questions are:
-What habits or thought patterns might need to shift to support the version of you you're becoming?
-What is one small, doable step you can take this month toward your healing?

Each person will get a chance to share a little about where they are at in their health journey currently and then answer these questions if they would like.

Please RSVP to tmcguirecoaching@gmail.com if you plan to attend or if you have any questions.

Warmly,
Avant Total Health💚💙

Some chronic Lyme patients may experience plateaus despite ongoing treatment.
One hypothesis explored is KPU (Kryptopyrroluria), a condition where the body may lose important minerals faster than normal. It has been reported at high rates in chronic Lyme patients.
KPU is associated with depletion of key nutrients
• Zinc
• Vitamin B6
• Manganese
• Biotin
These nutrients are essential for immune regulation, detox pathways, and neurological function.
Could mineral depletion play a role in treatment resistance?
We explore the proposed link between KPU and chronic Lyme in our article.

Autonomic Response Testing (A.R.T.®) is taught as a structured diagnostic system, designed to help identify where imbalance has entered the body’s regulatory system, before choosing how to respond.

A.R.T.® helps determine:
Where stress is present
What is blocking regulation
What needs to be addressed first

We teach a structured diagnostic system for professional education and training, developed and refined over decades.
