Hi Everyone,
Maria and I are super excited to get started with the Apprentice Program! You can still get the early bird price if you want to prepay for all the monthly courses and pay by the end of July.
We have a deadline to sign up for the Estes Park Heal the Healer live event in October. We need to know if you will be attending by Saturday, August 7th. After that date, we lose money that was paid as a deposit if we don’t use all the space (lodge and cabins) that are reserved.
I’ve included the last announcement for Estes Park Retreat on the ABOUT PAGE
I’m sorry but because of the lodging contract and high demand in Estes Park, we will not be able to open up space after the deadline.
There are several small groups of friends coming and a few couples so please share the information with friends and family and let me know by Saturday, August 7th if you can attend. You do not need to pay in full by the deadline, but I will need a $200 deposit to hold your spot.
We will be sending out the Dropbox link the first week of August with documents for the August course. If you prepaid, Lyndsay is registering you manually for each month. You should receive an email from GoToWebinar showing you are registered at least 2 weeks before each monthly course, and you will receive a reminder from GoToWebinar the day before the Saturday courses, with the link to access the live webinar.
Please check your junk and spam folders if you don’t get a GoToWebinar registration confirmation by August 7th. We will be sending out emails as we have updates to everyone that has registered. This will be the last email about the Apprentice Program and Estes Park unless you have registered.
Maria and I are super excited about the Apprentice Program! The Early Bird discount (which is a substantial 30%) has been extended to July 30th!!! If you want to take advantage of the Early Bird discount, all you have to do is call or text Gwen at 281-236-5453 or send an email to gwen@gfia.net by next Friday. Starting August 1st, the cost to prepay for the apprentice program will increase to $1325. Please see the original announcement below for the apprentice program schedule and all details.
Maria and I made a new video yesterday to give you an update for the August Apprentice Program and Estes Park weekend. This is very important if you have already signed up OR plan to sign up. The advantages to prepaying for the apprentice program instead of paying monthly are covered in the video.

Please send your labs to gwen@gfia.net by August 7th. If you give your lab my email, they should automatically send the labs to me. Remember I have to get them by August 7th to ensure you will get your functional lab interpretation report in time for the August workshop. The lab interpretation report is a $100 value. If you have labs that are less than 12 months old, you do not need to get new labs. If your labs are over 12 months old, we cannot use them.
The labs I recommend are -
CBC (Complete Blood Chemistry) with Differential
CMP (Complete Metabolic Panel)
Thyroid including Free T3 and FreeT4 and TPO Antibodies
Hormones - Male or Female (should include estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone)
Optional (but recommended)
CRP (C-Reactive Protein)
ANA (autoimmune marker)
Vitamin D
Iron
There are multiple walk-in labs in most cities. You do not need a prescription or doctor's requisition for labs anymore but please check first with your local labs and I would compare prices. Ulta labs, Any Lab Test Now, and Life Extension are good places to start. Lab prices can vary greatly. If you have a good relationship with your doctor, they can order these labs for you as part of your annual wellness exam with no copay or deductible with most insurance plans (if coded as part of your annual wellness exam).
Lab Recommendations (but don't forget to check your local area and online for best lab prices)
I set up a special wholesale account with Ulta Labs. You can get the recommended tests at a discount price of $328 using this link. They use Quest Labs and there is an $8 lab draw fee. The link provides the list of labs and Patient Preparation information. I recommend you fast (nothing but water the morning of the lab draw) and you get the labs drawn before 10 am.
Ultalabs - https://www.ultalabtests.com/shop/items/item/gwen-foster-functional-lab-for-clients
Life Extension uses Lab Corp and they offer good rates on labs too. If you go through Life Extension, you want the Female or Male Panel, $299 (not basic) and Comprehensive Thyroid $149 to get the same labs.
Life Extension Labs - https://www.lifeextension.com/lab-testing/itemlc322535/female-panel-blood-test
We also want you to know your blood type so you can get your blood type when you get your labs done, for about $25. Or you can order a blood type test kit online for under $10.
