Functional Nutrition Alliance Reviews 947

Andrea and the FX Nutrition team are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. There is plenty of support online as well as during the live sessions. I am so excited to be learning not just about the systems of the body, but how to apply this knowledge to helping people feel better with self care practices and nutrition rather than a quick fix.

Amazing content, structure and references. I learned so much!!

The program was organized and delivered in such a palatable manner. I love the way Andrea teaches, and all of the support that was provided-which I didn't take full advantage of, was excellent. I am hungry for more!

I am already a Functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner but this course gave me so much more confidence helping my clients without lab work! The done for your resources are my go to references. Andrea’s skill for story telling makes it easy to follow along and stay engaged. If you are looking to be a functional nutrition counselor or you are looking to improve your own health, there is something golden in this course for all

This educational program exceeded my expectations in every way. The organization, delivery, and support throughout the experience was remarkable. Although I have encountered some of this course content in prior trainings, it landed so differently and with incredible impact.

Best money I’ve ever spent, best decision I’ve ever made. Andrea is a clinical nutrition wiz, wicked smart, so glad I got to soak up this experience and can’t wait to become a member!

I recently completed Full Body Systems. My original intention was to complete FNLP certification. After 10 months and over $6K invested, I feel I've been "had" and will NOT continue on to FNLP.

According to the NIH, in the context of clinical practice, "nutrition" involves 1) assessing dietary needs, 2) developing personalized nutrition plans, and 3) providing guidance on choices and habits. The goal is to optimize health outcomes through "tailored nutritional interventions" and continuous monitoring to ensure efficacy and adherence.

FNA's course is excellent for item 1 (above). However if you wish to confidently, responsibly counsel clients on items 2 and 3, this course is grossly lacking. This course is intensely sold and marketed with claims that, in my experience, did not hold up.

This audio course is not endorsed by the functional medicine institute. It is heavily weighted to root cause and disease identification, anatomy and physiology. It does not prepare the graduate for nutritional counseling.

Each intensive module links to "done for you" resources, research, articles, videos, and podcasts. These materials, even in combination, do not prepare the graduate for nutritional counseling, but they are valuable and useful.

Instruction on clinical nutrition itself is largely qualitative, with no system for specifically mapping nutrient dense foods to outcomes. FNA states this is because each individual is unique. This doesn't add up for those of us already working with patients, ready to tailor nutrition to their terrain.

For each module, I spent more time OUTSIDE of the module learning the ins and outs of actual nutrition than I spent INSIDE.

Throughout the course, I was repeatedly contacted by FXNA representatives attempting to sell the course I was already enrolled in, which felt unprofessional and impersonal. Regular texts, emails, and voicemails, yet no genuine communication regarding my progress or well-being was initiated. Ten months in an online course can be isolating, and authentic interaction beyond financial transactions would have been appreciated. Post-completion, I received a slew of computer generated emails.

My experience is that they are not at all concerned with the student's experience, and fail to acknowledge where their program is oversold and/or comes up short of expectations - the basis for the 2-star rating.

This program is comprehensive and full of so much valuable content and support. I left feeling ready and supported to work with clients with any complaint.

User-friendly, an abundance of information, coaching and easy contact/availability of staff when you need it.

I feel like I am actually learning a lot of useful information.

This was honestly the most interesting and most amazing course i’ve ever taken, I was given more resources than i knew what to do with and believe in my heart of hearts this course can change the way functional medicine functions today!!

The Full Body Systems course is excellent - I highly recommend! Andrea is an amazing teacher and mentor, and her team is awesome as well. This course was perfect foundational learning about how our biological systems are impacted and interact in relation to our nutrition. I also really appreciated the course organization, multi-media learning, inclusion of podcast conversations with current subject matter experts, and the opportunity to connect in community with so many others on a similar path!

Andrea was very thorough with explaining everything in full detail. I joined the class to deepen my knowledge of the body and how food can help keep me healthy. I got that plus a whole lot more anatomy of the body.

There is a ton of information, as well as self paced study with many materials to choose from. What makes it special is Andrea's teaching and mentoring, with real examples given to start me in my practice. Value is excellent as well, with use of many practical tools and continued support.

Andrea does a wonderful job giving you the information needed to grow your understanding of how the body systems function together to help you view each person as a whole digging for root causes & not quick fixes.

The IN DEPTH wisdom of Andreas Functional Nutrition program intertwining the connection between nutrition, anatomy and physiology is UNSURPASSED. I am so thankful and blessed to know I have the best training out there in Functional Nutrition. It is absolutely the BEST investment I have ever made! I am a licensed massage and bodyworker for 17 years and can now help my clients understand what’s really going on in their bodies and a plan to get to the ROOT of real health challenges. I now have the CONFIDENCE to put to practice what I’ve learned from Full body systems to the hands of those who continually seek my help with their health challenges . I am very thankful and blessed!

amazing education and supportive community.

The Full Body Systems certification is a highly organized and structured certification that allows for optimal learning. As soon as I saw a sample of the program there was no doubt in my mind that it was the certification for me based on my goals. The creator put a lot of thought into the structure of this certification incorporating the best ways for a student to learn. There is lifetime access to the material which is awesome because of the ample amounts of information that students will be able to refer back to along with any new content that is added. The strategy in how we learned brought each intensive to life with the story telling that was built within each intensive. It made me very excited to learn and I couldn't wait for the new content to be released each week. The 15-min podcasts with medical doctors, experts and herbalists are very valuable to a student's learning and highlights the creator's knowledge even more when you listen to the interaction. The additional benefit is being able to work with the nutritionists through the webinars and message board along with webinars with the creator. The certification is well priced and is a great investment for someone looking to become a nutritional counselor. I'm looking forward to helping others understand the power of nutrition and how it can change the body. Thank you, Andrea, for helping me in more ways than one to get healthy again in order to educate and help others based on what I've learned. Now food has a purpose for me to help with better choices. Isamu is smiling for sure and is proud of all the work you've done and continue to do. Thank you for sharing your story and I'm proud to be a part of the FNA community.

When I first saw the FxNA ad on Facebook I immediately thought "what a perfect match!" I've always believed in and practiced from a Wholistic perspective. However, Functional Nutrition Alliance has not only increased my knowledge and skills beyond any previous education and training, but has given me abilities and confidence far beyond my wildest imagination!

A strong teaching platform. The information is easy to access and the teachings are full of key information.
Challenging and life inspiring!
