Welcome to the Beginning of Your Journey to Amazing Success!

 

Offering the basics of Integrative and Functional Medical Nutrition Therapy (IFMNT), this Introductory series serves as a tour through the depth of topics and concepts needed to truly practice Functional Nutrition most responsibly and at the most effective level.

The nutritional aspects of Functional Medicine can be quite complex and focused heavily on nutritional biochemistry and cellular physiology where nutrition works at its most foundational level to influence health. With the addition of genetic influence, one can personalize nutrition like never before and that spells success at the highest level for any practitioner utilizing IFMNT in practice.

If for no other reason, this should reinforce the important of obtaining the most comprehensive training available. And that’s just what we offer here at NLFN!

 

Susan Allen here. I have been practicing in this specialty for over 30 years now and as such I know firsthand all the nuances that can make or break a successful practice. My personal training journey never seems to end but it’s for that same reason I feel it’s vital to be sure corners are not cut and also the reason I have developed what I feel is the most thorough and complete program of IFMNT training that exists today.

It all started 10 years ago when I offered a basic mentoring program to my peers, but I soon realized that wasn’t enough. I underestimated how much it took me to get to the level of practice and expertise I had obtained. Likewise, I continued to see the lack of any meaningful depth of functional nutrition specific education in mainstream dietetic training.  This has brought me to my current day offerings – programming (with an optional certification) that I am proud to say (all totaled over 350 hours), is on par with a Master’s Degree, but without the 25K price tag, not to mention all the homework!

It all starts here with our Introduction to Functional Nutrition. Learning the basics of Integrative and Functional Medical Nutrition Therapy prepares you to be ready for the deep dive that comes in our certification program, or the individual topics offered separately as an alternative.  Get ready to expand your knowledge and skillset as we take a world tour through the topics vital to learn if you truly want to become a master at root-cause Personalized Nutrition!

We lightly touch into all the following topics areas…

The Functional Nutrition Assessment

Blood Chemistry Interpretation,

Functional Medicine specialty labs

Dietary Supplements

Gastrointestinal health

Metabolic health

the Six Core Centers of Health

Immune health

Brain Health/Cognition

Toxicity and Detox

Endocrine Health

Business strategies for Success

 

No quizzes/tests; no pressure – just a get-your-feet-wet experience to see what it’s all about and best prepare for the IFMNT Certificate of Training that follows next month. While this series is optional for those with previous training or experience, we highly recommend anyone not already practicing IFMNT start with a sound introduction, so nothing is missed! Get the basics just to incorporate a bit of IFMNT into your existing practice or let this be the beginning of an exciting journey that will expand your career to new heights – guaranteed!

These days you have a choice in learning options for Functional nutrition. Join me as I share my personal knowledge and experience that has given me the career of my dreams!

Note: This course is a no longer a pre-requisite for IFMNT Certificate of Training. It is especially valuable for those wanting to explore basic principles and to also get a window into the full depth of the topics that make up our certification or deeper topic programs as well.
