Functional Nutrition Alliance Reviews 947

I have learned so much through this program. It has been a great experience and I love that I get to be apart of the Funcitional Nutrition Alliance Community! It is full of loving people who are ready to support you in every step of the way!

This course is absolutely amazing! As a RN I have learned so much more in this course! It is so thorough and the support is amazing!

The Functional Nutrition Alliance program & the learning modules were packed with educational information as anatomy & physiology and why each system is important when we are considering
proper nutrition for optimal health. Each educational section included what specific foods and supplements were supportive of that system as well as other systems that may work in conjunction with other FBS systems of the body. The gut-brain connection was explained well throughout the program. There is a wealth of information about all the systems. The podcasts, expert interviews at the end of each FBS section were awesome! They really complemented what we learned within that particular system of the body.
They were opportunities for skill-building that were great, as well as Q& A sessions with Andrea ( founder) & her staff ! I am looking forward continuing to learn more in my victory lap!

The program is very well structured, topics well-covered, mentors readily available via message boards, the response is quick (usually within 24 hours), Andrea herself hosts sessions for discussion & Q&A every few weeks, the lessons are complete & well-thought out, the quizzes reflect the material taught well, the final exams after each body system taught are very reflective of the material as well. The program is also paced well with ample time allotted for study. And Andrea is a powerhouse of information & knowledge! I’m an RN Nurse Practitioner & this program has elevated my care of patients immensely beyond traditional standards of medicine.

I loved this functional nutritionist course. I have never been exposed to information that really could help save lives. The program was well put together and was made easy to help us to understand complex topics, about the body. The program offered an abundance of materials to assist the us in our learnings. Our instructors were pleasant, helpful and well knowledgeable in their craft.

I loved how Andrea was able to make very complex ideas and biology understandable. She used lots of stories and relatable experiences to explain the details in the course.Thank you for the empathic and sincere care you’ve showed for us and how to truly care for clients this has been a great learning experience !

I have tremendous respect for Andrea Nakayama and her extensive knowledge of functional health. I have thoroughly enjoyed her lessons and the course overall. However, I find that the *15-Minute Matrix* podcasts are not particularly helpful for me. While the topics covered are interesting, the content primarily offers high-level insights rather than in-depth exploration. Additionally, since the discussions include perspectives from various health professionals who may not always align, it can be challenging to extract clear, actionable takeaways.

I found that it takes some time to fully grasp the course content. As a visual learner, I struggle with the audio-only format, as it does not align well with my preferred learning style. Additionally, I feel that the accompanying handouts do not always correspond seamlessly with the lessons. To supplement my understanding, I often turned to external resources like YouTube. Some of the ancillary recordings are also older, with subpar audio quality, which further impacts the learning experience.

One area I would love to explore further is the use of herbs and supplements. Given the increasing concerns about heavy metals and other contaminants in many products today, I do not yet feel fully confident in recommending them to clients. More guidance in this area would be invaluable.

That said, I truly appreciate the course’s emphasis on bridging the gap between allopathic medicine and functional health. This integrative approach is crucial in providing well-rounded, patient-centered care. Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, I was unable to complete the entire course within my initial timeframe, but I am grateful for the opportunity to continue for another year.

One aspect I did not fully understand when I enrolled is that completion of this course does not automatically result in certification—an additional course is required. Clearer communication around this requirement would have been helpful.

Despite these challenges, I believe the Functional Nutrition Alliance upholds a high standard of integrity and provides strong support for its students. I appreciate the knowledge and insight gained from this program and look forward to furthering my education in functional health.

I really enjoyed the high quality content in the Full Body Systems course work, the format in which it was presented, and the energy Andrea brought to the instruction.

Providing students with all of the knowledge and resources needed to be successful

The Full Body Systems program was well organized and complete in subject matter. There are many outside expert interviews for additional information and the graphics and tools are very useful. Q&A sessions were plentiful and the Skills Labs were well done. There was no pressure to complete modules on time and the program is basically at your own pace, which is helpful for those working a full or part time job.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the lessons, learning, and methodology that Full Body Systems provides. Andrea Nakayama's leadership style and approach to addressing health is practical, compassionate, and sustainable. I appreciate her consistent and methodical improvement methods.

My decision to participate in this program was the best decision that I ever made. Andrea Nakayama has put together an amazing program that will absolutely change peoples lives for the better forever.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Fxna has one amazing specialty that's hard to follow and that's Andrea herself. Aside from her depth of knowledge ranging from practically every aspect of health, nutrition, full intricate detailed body function and herbal knowledge, her talent to give it over with perfect clarity in her captivating style makes it exciting and very useful at the same time. There are so many interviews with other professionals connected to this field as well as her many helpful Q&A sessions regularly with herself and her staff. I was not in this field at all previously and was very apprehensive if, as a laymen, this undertaking would be too difficult to follow and understand. However, it is easy to listen to Andrea's clear and concise lectures again and again as I review at my own pace. Her eagerness to make it work for all her students in the class is very apparent. She really cares that her students succeed in whichever direction they choose. I think this is a very worthwhile investment in myriad of ways.....even if not on a professional level but simply to keep ourselves and family healthy in this ongoing confusing world of foods and health.

The course is very thorough. I teach Anatomy and Physiology at a massage school and this has helped me find out things that aren't in text books. And I also teach a Nutrition course as well, so I can bring new insight to the class.

As a former pre-med student, I have been seeking out an education & practitioner program that was robust, grounded, and aligned with my values - and this program does just that and more. I learned more about the human body, nutrition, and lifestyle medicine in 10 months with FBS than I have in any other educational program I attended. Andrea is an excellent teacher, and I feel more confident than ever to really help people find true health in their lives because of this program. If you are someone who truly cares about grounded science, but also knows deep down there is a more holistic way to facilitate the healing process, this program is for you!

Top tier education, tools, resources, and mentorship. Easy to navigate portal. The best!

Andrea's explains contents in a clear and practical manner so that you can easily grasp things that you may not be familiar with. There are those live Q&A that makes you feel like you are in a real class. Research materials are super cool and factual. I really enjoyed the experience. I am hoping to attend the second time to really assimilate the whole concept in order to be able to make a difference in people's lives. I find it really helpful for the course contents website to be made available to formal students, very thoughtful and considerate. A very good course indeed.

The company is awesome and delivers exactly what they say they are going to.

They're very involved and passionate, it's really inspiring to have everyone so tight knit too. There's a fair lot of people here, someone's always willing to help, and the way the courses are designed is very well thought out.

The FxN Alliance Full Body Systems course is well organized, has great content, runs at a good pace of information, and includes easy ways to interact with other students/alumni/staff. Someone recommended the FxNA course over another one that is more well known, and I'm so glad I chose it. I also feel like I have a community now who can help with questions, etc.
