That is why I am doing this program, even though I am an RN I have learned so much and already practicing. Thanks to you Andrea and your wonderful team.

[@clairesullivan8867]

This program has been amazing in every sense of the word, from content, practice to community and beyond. As an FNLP, a whole new world has been opened to me. I have always been passionate about all things health related but this program has taken me much farther than I had ever dreamed. I truly feel equipped to make a major difference in people's lives. So grateful for Andrea Nakayama's teaching prowess and the Functional Nutrition Alliance.

Once again Andrea explains so beautifully! I’m so honored to be a part of your program! Im soaking up everything you offer 😁

[@jessecorry2442]

Andrea is an amazing, gifted instructor. I am a recent graduate and had considered several options for functional nutrition training and took my time deciding. I am so grateful for having chosen Functional Nutrition Alliance, it has exceeded my expectations and I'm already practicing; people need this work.

I am a big fan/client of functional medicine. My current dream team of wellness providers includes a naturopath who has been instrumental in guiding me to regain my energy and maintain a high level of health.

[@lavellnutrition]

I went to an MD who said she was a Functional Medicine Practitioner and after I met with her and checked on her credentials, she was not. I was so upset and what actually lied to! So glad I'm in YOUR CLASS now, Andrea!

[@esraeltilib7187]

As a licensed pharmacist and a passionate educator, I’m thankful to add this deep perspective to my personal practice. Being an FNLP graduate has opened doors of opportunities to help my patients that want to do the digging and get to the root causes of their diseases. Thanks Andrea💕

[@dalea.stiles8261]

I enrolled this morning. I’m looking forward to learning more about what makes the body work and helping people live their best lives.

[@lorrainecannatta1691]

This video is very helpful. Always appreciate Andrea's teachings. Love this program. I am learning so much.

[@lindaengland6521]

I love learning with Andrea and her team, I now know so much its a privilege to be able to help others. It is the future.

[@staceydixon110]

This is so true. It takes some medical tests to find the specific journey per individual. We as a family have personally experienced this. I wish I had the extra income to attend and help others! Some day I will! We have had great success!

[@Amberferchaud]

I can't wait to find the money to attend. I have a functional health coach and it's changed my health.

[@anastasiareusova2470]

[@52msdiane]

Do we have to have a BS/BA or masters degree before beginning this program? Thx ☺️

[@sallysherwood8444]

Does anyone have a link for the ebook?

[@marcelamedeiros260]

Can someone that went to IIN do this program? My god I wish I’ve found you before

[@nmerchant79]

Can you tell me a little bit about your experience with them I don’t seem to understand their curriculum?

[@marcelamedeiros260]

@@nmerchant79 i Dont remember the curriculum but their program is about how you can be accountable for someone, helping you finding your niche, teaching about coaching which is all about listening and providing tools to help them achieve goals. There are a lot of lessons with amazing people that opened up my mind to new things which was great. But it wasn’t what I was looking for, concerning evaluations and labs. They are more broad to what they teach and than after the program you still have to continue taking courses to specialize yourself. But you won’t learn how to interpret labs, correlate micronutrient deficiencies with symptoms which was what I need to understand more about the person to better help a person. So for me, though amazing people on there it wasn’t enough based on what I’d like to do.

[@nmerchant79]

@@marcelamedeiros260 Yeah I found the curriculum very vague not very organized and that’s why I have chosen to go with Andrea . at least try it out for a month and see how that goes I may lose $200 but it’s at least worth trying it out since that seems like more focused on understanding anatomy and physiology biohemistry probably not a lot in depth but the important pieces of how all the systems work together.

[@marcelamedeiros260]

@@nmerchant79 Im sure it Will be more in depth. If you Try it out and let me know please

[@nmerchant79]

@@marcelamedeiros260 I will God willing in case I forget just remind me on this chat. I should have a good idea by December 7 after a month but I read a lot of reviews and 1 person said the first system is very much in depth which is the digestive which is the covered in the first month and then the rest are not as in-depth. But I will not know that until after a few months. So either way we can keep in touch. you may want to look at reviews on trust pilot also.
