Functional Nutrition Training Programs
From in-depth Functional Nutrition training programs for coaches and clinicians of all levels, to courses that allow you to experience Functional Nutrition via seasonal functional detoxes and cleanses – we‘ve trained thousands in the science and art of using “food as medicine”.
Changing the way we do healthcare
We envision a world where patients are empowered to participate in their own health outcomes. We believe this empowerment requires a systems-based approach to nutrition and a heart-centric approach to patient and client care.
We call this functional — it’s what we teach and it’s what we practice.
