A liver-processing and metabolic-clearance pattern considered through relevant laboratory findings, symptoms, environmental burden, health history, and practitioner review.
Silky Shark is organized around liver processing and metabolic clearance. The practitioner considers laboratory findings alongside symptoms, exposure history, metabolic context, and the individual’s broader health story.
The archetype is a way to organize information for practitioner review. It is not a diagnosis and does not mean every person with this pattern will have the same symptoms or needs.
The approved DYD framework centers this archetype on liver congestion and impaired detoxification/clearance patterns. Different presentations can involve different drivers, so practitioner assessment is essential before interpretation.
Approved DYD materials associate Silky Shark with Liver-centered patterns that can include Qi stagnation, Phlegm-Damp accumulation, and Damp-Heat depending on the presentation. TCM differentiation is therefore part of practitioner review rather than a one-size-fits-all label.
A primary archetype may also appear alongside supporting archetype influences. When supported by approved DYD logic, this combination may be described as a Metabolic Constellation. The purpose is not to add more labels—it is to help the practitioner see how multiple patterns may interact within the whole clinical picture.
Decode Your Dolphin helps connect symptoms, bloodwork, health history, questionnaire information, and clinical patterns into a clearer framework for review and communication. Technology may help organize information, but clinical interpretation and decisions remain with the practitioner.
