Learn More About Our Certificate of Training (COT) in Integrative and Functional Medical Nutrition Therapy (IFMNT)
To practice most responsibly and with the highest level of confidence, you’ll need the deepest coverage of core IFMNT topics. Join pioneer and leading expert, Susan Allen–Evenson, RDN, CCN, FMNS, and several noted guest expert presenters for the most comprehensive IFMNT training that exists today!
This training is different! Since our courses are held mostly as live and interactive webinars, our content is consistently updated and expanded. Research is continually reviewed and that means our training is at the highest level of evidence-based, cutting-edge, and hot off the press learning that can be obtained! Live training also offers the benefit of on-the-spot interaction for Q &A and continual clarification of learning as content is delivered and most applicable. Live training is also more engaging, which helps keep students motivated and on track, especially challenging in longer training programs! Even if you only take the course as a recorded series, you get the benefit of the live interaction from the live session recordings and you can always ask additional questions in the private class forum. Whatever format you choose for learning with our program, we’re here to ensure your success!
You won’t get lost in the crowd here! Class size is kept smaller on purpose to ensure everyone in the course gets personalized attention throughout their learning process. Full course bundle registrants have the added bonus of free private mentoring with Susan!
This is not just book learning, but a rich display of the practical application of IFMNT. Susan Allen-Evenson brings a keen element of mentoring with her 30 years of clinical experience and IFMNT know-how. It’s almost like you’re in the clinic with her getting first-hand experience! One main instructor provides cohesiveness to your learning journey. Expert guest instructors round out the learning.
Through all modules of learning, course participants will take a deep dive into the world of Functional Nutrition, identifying root causes of health problems and addressing strategies to support renewed and optimal health. This certification course (certification is optional) begins with in-depth coverage of the Nutrition Assessment process. Keeping with the comprehensive nature of this course, an array of topics are covered, for example, Nutrients/Supplements, Immune health, Diet and Culinary strategies, Cognition/Brain Health, Detoxification, Gastrointestinal/Gut-Brain, Metabolic Disorders, Endocrine Health, and more. Practice-building tips for success are included in each module!
Woven in among these topics is the inclusion of genomic education, therapeutic diets, and training on a vast amount of functional medicine labs. Case studies throughout will provide examples of practice application of assessment and individualized recommendations strategic to each unique patient, which is the hallmark of personalized Nutrition.
Each module will include loads of handouts (many customizable), practice tools, access to research, and many modules will include further reading (always optional), as well as bonus recordings of additional content! We know you have busy lives; this program does not require any “homework” to earn CPE!
While modules may be taken in any order, we recommend you begin your learning journey with the FN Assessment (Module 1) as this is where the IFMNT process always begins. A thorough assessment ensures you have your client’s full “story”, thereby allowing you to prioritize lab assessment and highly targeted support protocols for maximum case outcomes. Progress through the remaining modules in order, or as it best fits into your schedule. Once modules are recorded, registration remains open for the recorded version until another live series begins. Having modules available recorded and live also allow for a fast-track experience (taking more than one module at a time). Starting in 2022, two new live series will be offered yearly. Each full certification live module cycle is expected to take approximately 48 months, though fast-track options offered along the way can shorten this time considerably.
Completing all required training within 48 months is required to sit for the FMNS certification exam. With the final exam, a case study write-up will also be required for the successful completion of the certification process (separate exam fee required).
