Functional Nutrition is the Cornerstone of Modern Healthcare

The twenty-first century’s complex, chronic health issues need a holistic nutritional approach that looks at genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors and provides a systems-based framework for treatment. Functional nutrition improves patient outcomes in diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, chronic fatigue, neuro-degeneration, bone health, cardiac health, and musculoskeletal well-being. 

Learn the fundamentals of applying nutrition to your practice through a leading-edge, streamlined, implementable system that will provide you with actionable steps to take your practice to a whole new level. Each module can be a stand-alone course.  To earn the Functional Nutrition Certification (FNC) credential, you must complete all online coursework and associated quizzes, attend two live, in-person weekend courses and pass a comprehensive final exam.

Course Blueprint

  • Hybrid Learning Experience

    You'll also attend two dynamic, in-person 12 hour weekend courses to learn the fundamentals of gut-joint connections, immune system optimization, and more. In between the first and final live session, you'll complete 24 hours of online, self-paced coursework with lifetime access to serve as an on-going reference as you begin implementing what you learned.

  • An Emphasis on Practical Application

    Knowledge is power. But only if you know how to apply what you've learned. Our course content is structured so that you learn how to easily implement what you've learned in practice so that you can maximize efficiency and achieve improved patient outcomes. This pieces is so important, we've dedicated an entire 2 hour online course module to real-world application and implementation.

  • Who Can Take This Course?

    This program is specifically for chiropractors and other licensed healthcare professionals that can order and interpret diagnostic blood panels, recommend nutrition protocols and prescribe dietary changes and/or supplements within their scope of practice. This includes students that have completed their basic sciences, enrolled in qualifying healthcare degree programs.
