Explore the relationships between the most important hormones and their relationship with nutrition, and learn how to use functional assessments, like functional blood chemistry, DUTCH, GI Effects, Organic Acids and many more to identify imbalances that are keeping your clients and patients sick and tired.
Learn the details of all the important nutrients that have been found to be important in human metabolism—macro and micro.
Understand how these nutrients get absorbed, what they do, where they come from, how they interact and symptoms of excess and deficiency. You’ll understand how to guide your clients, how to detect deficiencies and excesses, contraindications to supplementation, best testing practices, how to correct imbalances, and so much more.

You'll also learn about the various food plans and when and why to use each one, and how to support your clients to eat and supplement in a way that reduces and eliminates chronic symptoms and balances the endocrine system.
LEVEL 3
Body Systems & Hormone Mastery
Go deep into everything you need to know to guide your clients to balance each of the major body systems and hormones.
You’ll learn anatomy, physiology and biochemistry from a functional perspective, which, according to our MD and nurse students, is very different from how it’s taught in conventional medical schools.
Your understanding of how these systems work will lead naturally to the diet, supplement and lifestyle activities that your client needs to implement to restore balance, eliminate symptoms, and in many cases reverse conditions they were told were irreversible.
Insulin Resistance Mastery
Explode Your Practice as You Become THE Go-To Practitioner in Your Field
Insulin resistance is the underlying cause of most of the chronic, degenerative and deadly diseases we see in our current medical practices.
Learn to identify early signs of what we call "pre-insulin resistance" and guide people to balance their blood sugar and insulin metabolism before it becomes disease.
