Surveys show that chronic diseases are on the rise. Many of these diseases, such as heart conditions, diabetes type 2, and arthritis, might lead to disability, amputation, or death.

Studies show that many chronic diseases might be caused or aggravated by diet, lifestyle, and environmental exposure. Maintaining healthy nutrition, lifestyle, and detoxification are the key to obtaining or regaining our health.

Using the knowledge you learn in the training, you will know how to guide clients to transform their health in a natural, safe, and effective way.

The program is self-paced and on-demand, which means that you can access it 24/7 and study as much as you want. It is set to be completed within 6 to 12 months and most students complete one module per week.

While most students will finish within 6 to 8 months, we provide access for 3 years to allow you extra time if you need it.

You will learn about many of the factors that cause dysfunction and sickness and how to guide patients towards better health.

In most medical programs, nutritional training is very minimal and typically restricted to learning about nutrients and their clinical importance.

This program does not focus on psychological coaching. We focus on the ‘root causes’ of dysfunction and chronic diseases.

If you are interested in learning clinical nutrition, herbal medicine protocols, and lifestyle medicine – then this is the program for you.

We take a simple and straightforward approach to nutritional and herbal medicine and we believe that everybody should have access to affordable training.

The reason we believe that this program is unique is because it provides comprehensive learning, based on clinical studies, of nutritional, herbal, and environmental medicine in an organized way from the comfort of your home.

Another advantage of this program is that it is self-paced and affordable.

There are 3 significant differences.

1. The Program focused on the clinical application of nutritional and herbal medicine – while most coaching programs focus on the psychology of coaching.
2. This program is built upon the fundamentals of Functional medicine and the ‘root cause’ approach – while other programs only include nutrition and discussion on diets.
3. We include practice building and ongoing support with one-on-one coaching.

If you are interested in learning about the ‘root cause’ of dysfunction (Functional Medicine approach) and in clinical nutrition, herbal medicine protocols, and lifestyle medicine – then this is the program for you.

It is designed for the general public, health coaches, and healthcare providers, such as medical and osteopathic doctors, naturopaths, chiropractors, pharmacists, acupuncturists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and nurses, and nutritionists.

No experience or previous knowledge is needed.

This program is NOT for you if you are looking to focus on health psychology and patient encouragement (most health coaching programs).

It took a lot of time and resources to build each part of this course. Each of the presenters brings years of clinical experience and took hours to build, modify, and present each module to make sure that you’ll have a great experience.

Based on our existing members who have already joined and taken the course, we think you are going to learn so much and love what we’ve created! But of course, we realize it can’t be a perfect fit for everyone. At the American Academy of Functional Health, we believe you should only pay for the things that actually help you gain valuable knowledge, evolve your skills, and get you better results. So, if you log in to the course and do not like what you get, email us within 30 days of signing up and we will refund you your payment in full.

Yes. Functional Nutrition Coaches are an important part of healthcare and can be found in private clinics working side-by-side with chiropractors, medical doctors, naturopaths, and nurses, as well as in fitness centers, nursing homes, corporate wellness departments, and health food stores.

Although regulations are different from state to state, many nutritional health coaches have their own practice and see clients in person or virtually from home. Health Coaches can be found everywhere.
