What is Functional Nutrition? 4. The Importance of Reducing Brain & Gut Inflammation 5. New Advanced Functional Laboratory Tests

Functional Nutrition is a highly sought after, leading-edge, evidence-based, and individualized case-based approach to comprehensive patient care that focuses on identifying root causes and system imbalances to significantly improve patient health outcomes. This emerging health care model combines the very best of modern science, clinical wisdom and critical thinking and is being driven by increasing consumer demand, advancing technology and is changing the healthcare model.

By understanding the concepts and tools FNA™ offers you, in these training modules, you will acquire the skills and knowledge to make you one of the most sought after, advanced functional nutritionist in the competitive healthcare marketplace. Being able to implement these tools in your life and clinical practice will bring you greater satisfaction in your professional practice and those you serve, because you will be able to solve many chronic health problems and stop the suffering that many people are faced with today.


How is Functional Nutrition Different Than Other Nutrition Programs?

Functional Nutrition is an approach to health care that focuses on the whole body and the web-like interactions of all the systems rather than diagnosing one system. It understand that the human biological system interacts dynamically with the environment producing predictable patterns and effects that may change over time. Chronic disease precedes a period of declining system “dys-function” like inflammation, GI dysfunction, stress, toxicity, opportunistic organisms, Etc. It’s individualized health care.

Our Functional Nutrition Training focuses on identifying “root causes” or underlying causes of diseases in a methodical and systematic approach rather than relying on protocols that may not work for everyone. This requires a deeper level of understanding of function, not just pathology; networks of physiology, not just organ systems, and an organized nutrition assessment, taking into account the patient’s timeline, which helps to connect key events in the patient’s life with the onset of symptoms or dysfunctions. For example, asking the right questions like “when did this start”, we can begin to unravel the circumstances surrounding the dysfunction.

One imbalance may cause many conditions like inflammation. It can cause heart disease, depression, arthritis, cancer, and diabetes. Or one condition may have its roots in multiple imbalances like inflammation, hormone imbalance, genetics and epigenetics, diet and exercise, mood disorders. But the trained Functional Nutritionist will be able to critically assess the patient using a “whole systems” approach and personalize a nutrition, diet and lifestyle health care plan to restore optimal function and improve the patient’s outcome.

Functional Nutrition engages both patient and clinician in a therapeutic partnership, empowering patients to take an active role in their own health. Functional Nutritionists spend time with their patients, listening to their histories, and looking at the interactions among environmental, genetic, diet, and lifestyle factors that can influence emergence and progression of complex, chronic diseases.

Why Functional Nutrition Now?

  • Functional Nutrition is a highly sought after, results-oriented, preventable, predictable, proactive, personalized health care model. It empowers patients to take an active role in their own health.

  • Functional Nutrition offers a powerful new model for assessment, treatment, and prevention of chronic debilitation diseases to replace the outdated, ineffective acute-care medical model.

  • Functional Nutrition is evidence based, scientifically proven incorporation, genetics, system biology, and understanding of how diet, lifestyle and environment influence the emergence and progression of disease and utilized specialty laboratory tests, not yet adopted by allopathic doctors, to pin point dysfunctional areas of the body.

  • All forward thinking medical doctors will need trained Functional Nutritionists to add to their team. They are hiring NOW and need you to help their chronically ill patients with diet & lifestyle changes as well as getting to the root of their chronic health conditions for healthy outcomes.  They don’t have the time or skills. That is where you come in. You will be able to hold your own next to your new colleges with this valuable training.
