What Our Grads Say
I loved everything about the Functional Therapeutic Diets course. It really goes in depth about so many different types of functional therapeutic diets, and includes practical advice for how to implement the strategies with your clients. Of particular interest to me was the part about food sensitivities. I was immediately able to put the information into practice and help one of my clients who was struggling with a specific sensitivity. Her doctor had just told her to drink water and left it at that, so I was proud to be able to provide her with real, actionable information.
Julie Saad
Functional Therapeutic Diets Specialist
The Functional Therapeutics Diets program was great! I suffer with GI issues of my own (gastroparesis/poor motility) and have personally tried a few of these diets. The course gave me more understanding of what my body needs and what it will not tolerate.
Heather Woodrow
Functional Therapeutic Diets Specialist
I decided to educate myself with a program that supported good health. I took the Functional Therapeutic Diets program because of my own personal wellness—or lack thereof—and I quickly saw the difference it makes when you remove the foods that keep you feeling unwell, tired, and old. This program also illustrates how food works in the body, which helped me understand it better. It’s something I want to share with others, especially those who want to learn how to be healthier.
