The Practitioner Mastery Paradigm

The Practitioner Mastery Paradigm is a framework that Andrea designed to look at all the key aspects of a successful practice. The paradigm has eight prongs that interconnect and influence each other, just like the systems within the body. Andrea recognized that we need all eight to be a true Functional Nutrition master. You’ve made great strides already and we want to help you to focus on the keys that may be missing!

The next deep dive is to become so proficient with the Functional tools and systems that it will seem like answers just appear for you. Your intuition as a master practitioner will be awakened. Dots will connect themselves. New ways of looking at problems and cases will become natural to you.

Because of this, you’ll have unshakable confidence that you can handle whatever comes your way. You’ll also know that you can put yourself out there—for speaking engagements, partnerships with physicians, and more.

This is mastery.

You probably know that Andrea likes to include valuable bonuses for you, and this program is no exception. Expect thoughtful resources that will support you in your Functional Nutrition mastery, and enrich your experience with the curriculum. Bonuses throughout the program include:

• Access to the most recent FBS content for a full year, no matter your graduation date
• Participate in monthly office hours with Andrea around specific practitioner mastery topics that enable you to take your practice up a big notch
• Be a member of Andrea’s innermost circle, with the benefit of being the first to know about any new insights from her exposure—including new opportunities, partnerships, or resources that can benefit you and your practice

Upon completion of the program, you will earn the title of FxNA Certified Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner (FNLP). People across the globe will know that you aren’t just another nutrition professional. You’re one of a select number of practitioners who received direct mentorship from Andrea Nakayama and the FxNA team, and that you will have an expert-level stamp of approval for your abilities to work in systems, create powerful partnerships, and practice root cause resolution.

You’ll be able to set yourself apart!
