Core Concepts
Cardiovascular
Explore marker of vascular inflammation and oxidative balance.
Immune Regulation
Examine cytokines patterns and immune dynamics.
Methylation & Micronutrients
Interpret nutrient and methylation markers in context.
Endocrine & Adrenal
Study markers reflecting endocrine and adrenal function.
What You Will Learn in This Course
Shift from focusing on isolated values to recognizing broader patterns, applying emerging biomarkers within a systems-based interpretation framework.
Methylation Pathways
Gain a deeper understanding of how emerging biomarkers reflect interconnected processes such as inflammation, lipid oxidation, mitochondrial stress, immune modulation, and hormonal regulation.
Markers in Context
Work through clinically rich case studies to explore markers including Lp-PLA2, OxLDL, F2-Isoprostanes, methylation intermediates, cytokine profiles, antibody subclasses, and adrenal-neuroendocrine indicators. You’ll develop the ability to interpret how these markers interact within a broader systems framework.
Pattern Recognition
Move beyond isolated lab values by practicing biomarker synthesis. Learn to recognize physiologic patterns—such as compensations, metabolic bottlenecks, immune shifts, and neuroendocrine dynamics, that inform a more integrated approach to lab interpretation.
Clinical Application & Outcomes
Apply your knowledge through case-based learning, building a structured framework for analyzing advanced lab findings in complex presentations. You’ll leave with greater confidence in connecting multiple data points into a cohesive interpretation strategy.
What You Will Learn in This Course
What You’ll Master
You’ll strengthen your ability to interpret advanced biomarkers across cardiovascular, metabolic, immune, and endocrine systems. Through case-based examples, you’ll learn to recognize subtle physiologic patterns, compensations, and cross-system interactions.
By the end of the course, you’ll have a clear framework for synthesizing multiple findings into cohesive interpretations that support more confident decision-making in complex clinical presentations.
Who It’s For
This advanced course is designed for practitioners who are ready to deepen their skills in functional lab interpretation and move beyond routine panels. It’s particularly suited for those with prior experience in functional medicine or lab analysis who want to build a stronger framework for working with complex presentations. Participants will strengthen their confidence in interpreting emerging biomarkers and integrating findings across multiple systems.
Key Objectives
Week 1
Cardiovascular Health
Interpret advanced markers such as Lipoprotein(a), OxLDL, myeloperoxidase, and F2-Isoprostanes within an integrative model that connects lipids, inflammation, and genetics to enhance your framework for lab interpretation.
Week 2
Metabolic Function
Explore markers such as adiponectin, leptin, 8-OHdG, omega index, and arachidonic acid to understand their relevance in metabolic pathways and interpretive frameworks.
Week 3
Micronutrient Status
Examine methylation and antioxidant markers such as B vitamins, glutathione, and vitamin C to understand their role in functional pathways and laboratory interpretation.
Week 4
Immune Regulation
Assess cytokines, T-cell balance, and NK cell activity to inform immune-modulating interventions in chronic and inflammatory conditions.
Week 5
Antibody Patterns
Understand the theories of genesis of autoimmune activity and learn to interpret advanced antibody and immunoglobulin panels to uncover immune dysregulation, food sensitivities, and autoimmune triggers.
Week 6
Thyroid and Adrenal Insights
Integrate thyroid, adrenal and sex hormone data with immune markers, kidney function indicators and wearable metrics to support endocrine balance, circadian health, and resilience.

I appreciate the usefulness and application of Dr. Carrie's delivery of this topic. I feel like I will be able to refer back to her slides and this presentation when I have a PCOS client in front of me and be able to better help them with this information!
Frequently Asked Questions
About The Bootcamp
Does Rupa University offer degrees or accreditations?
No, Rupa University does not offer degrees or any form of accreditations. Our mission is to provide affordable education by bringing in world class experts to teach about lab testing.
I’m not able to take this bootcamp now due to timing, will you offer it again in the future?
Most likely! Rupa's goal is to offer a variety of bootcamps throughout the year, covering different topics and providing tactical knowledge you can immediately apply to your practice.
However, please note that there won't be any additional course offerings through the end of this year. We encourage you to stay tuned for announcements about future bootcamp schedules in the new year.
Where can I access the bootcamp once I am signed up?
After you are signed up for the bootcamp and have created your account, you can login at app.rupauniversity.com!
Will I be able to ask personal medical questions in the live Q&A about my results?
As the live Q&A classes are not HIPAA compliant and not part of a medical visit, personal medical advice will not be discussed.
How will I be able to ask questions to the bootcamp instructor?
Every week during the bootcamp, there will be a 60min live Q&A webinar where you can ask questions in the chat.
How long are the pre-recorded videos and the live Q&A classes?
The pre-recorded classes are a variety of lengths from 10 minutes to 60 minutes. The live classes are always 60 minutes long.
I’m using this test in my practice but would like to learn more, will the classes teach advanced information?
It will be a mix. There will be more foundational level videos to help set the stage if you are newer and more advanced level clinical pearls, videos, or questions answered during the live Q&A sessions.
I’m new to functional/integrative medicine, will this bootcamp help?
Yes! There will be a mix of foundational classes to help get you introduced to the topic up to more advanced clinical pearls and information that build on each other. The live class Q&A sessions will also be a mix of beginning to advanced information.
