Step 1: Discover Functional Nutrition Testing Model for Root-Cause Healing
Learn how to use functional nutrition testing and other assessment tools to optimize root cause health. Discover a functional nutrition and testing model of root cause health of each physiologic system: brain, and nervous system, digestive system, gut microbiome, immune system, endocrine system (hormones), and specific to common women’s health challenges.
Step 2: Successfully Apply Functional Nutrition Strategies to Improve Client Results
Learn to conduct a thorough assessment of the client’s health status, identify any underlying imbalances or deficiencies, and develop a personalized nutrition and lifestyle plan that addresses their specific needs, health vision, and goals.
Step 3: Learn to Use Targeted Nutrient and Herbal Supplementation
Personalize supplement regimens based on individual needs to address symptoms, deficiencies, and imbalances, such as hot flashes, low or high estrogen, thyroid issues, low progesterone, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, energy, fatigue, and sleep issues, brain fog, cognitive impairments, and digestive issues, such as bloating, constipation, IBS, and more.
Step 4: Become a SLEEP and ENERGY Expert! (This is the #1 complaint of women...fatigue, exhaustion, and poor sleep!)
Learn how to help your clients sleep peacefully all night long and wake up with energy! Learn how to address mitochondrial fatigue, adrenal dysregulation, and other root causes of sleep issues. Plus, learn evidence-based sex differences in the stress response and mind-body medicine to reduce stress and improve sleep in women.
Step 5: Understand the Connection Between the Reproductive Hormones and the Stress Hormone System
All of the hormonal axes – the adrenal, thyroid, and sex hormone axes – originate in the brain. This program will provide you with the tools that you need to help your clients to balance all of the hormonal systems starting at the root cause – by optimizing the health of the brain and nervous system, in addition to the adrenals, thyroid, gut, and ovaries.
Step 6: Optimize Hormone Health from Puberty to Menopause
Learn to balance hormones throughout a woman’s entire life from puberty to menopause (and beyond). You’ll discover how to optimize fertility and understand the risks and benefits of hormonal birth control.
Step 7: Nervous System Regulation, HRV, and Optimal Cardiovascular Health
Heart disease and stroke are among the most common killers of women. Risk increases significantly with PCOS, history of gestational diabetes, and menopause. Learn to minimize cardiovascular disease risk by implementing cutting-edge lifestyle strategies like fasting, red light therapy, sauna, cold immersion, sleep strategies, HRV tracking and nervous system regulation (SAFELY!). Learn how the heart and nervous system work together to lower the most common risks of death and disability for women.
Step 8: Immune Health and Autoimmune Risks for Women
Compared to men, women are at much higher risk for autoimmune diseases, long covid, and other post viral syndromes, EBV, HPV, and other immune health issues. Functional nutrition strategies address root-case imbalances in the immune system that are influenced by gut microbiome issues, nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, and subclinical signs of autoimmune issues that are often ignored by conventional medicine.
Step 9: Learn The Importance of Personalized Nutrition for Cancer Patients
Personalized nutrition can help manage the side effects of cancer treatments, such as nausea and fatigue, and support the body’s immune system, which is crucial for fighting cancer. Plus, post-cancer recovery and prevention of recurrence requires skilled support for optimizing nourishment, emotional and lifestyle medicine healing, and personalized recovery plans.
Step 10: Lifestyle Medicine Strategies to Address Disordered Eating
Focus on identifying underlying nutrient deficiencies, gut health imbalances, and lifestyle factors that contribute to disordered eating behaviors and developing personalized interventions to address them.
Step 11: Learn Strategies to Incorporate Trauma-Informed Care with Nervous System Regulation Strategies
Nervous system regulation is an integral part of every healing journey. Learn to support your clients to recover with safe, trauma-informed, nervous system regulation strategies and collaboration with mental health professionals.
Step 12: Get Support with Your Complex Cases and Build Your Confidence!
Attend weekly live calls (optional!) and bring your more challenging questions. Most of our students start with themselves as their first case study. Curious about how to test your hormones and gut health? Not sure how to fix sleep issues or chronic anxiety, struggling with fertility, metabolic, or energy issues yourself? Have questions about exercise, nutrition, functional testing, or innovative biohacking tools (like red light, sauna, cold plunges, HBOT, stem cells, and more) – what is legit and what is snake oil?

How is the Functional Nutrition Certificate Program different from the WHC Program? Is this certificate program for me if I am a WHC student or graduate?
While The Women’s Health Coach Certification Program does have a significant amount of content focused on functional nutrition, this certificate program is an even deeper dive into evidence-based strategies for applying the root-cause healing functional nutrition model to your clients and practice.
This program is an excellent post-graduation program for those who have completed the WHC program and want to specialize even further in functional and personalized nutrition. This program includes introductory and advanced functional nutrition education that is beyond the foundational training in the WHC program.
The advanced level content includes functional nutrition training for complex hormonal imbalances such as PCOS. We cover how to utilize nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle medicine strategies for autoimmune and immune health conditions such as chronic EBV, HPV, and Long Covid. And, you’ll learn advanced cardiovascular and neurologic women’s health issues, such as heart disease distinctions in women compared with men, advanced heart health testing testing for women in pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond, and brain neurotransmitter and mitochondrial assessment and healing for sleep and energy challenges.
This Certificate Program is a highly practical program based on published literature and decades of clinical experience. This is not just theory and cookie cutter protocols. This program rivals functional medicine and functional nutrition programs that cost over $10,000, but we decided to make this program financially accessible for all health and wellness professionals around the globe in order to amplify the quality of women’s healthcare in every community.
How long does it take to complete this program?
Students are given access to this certificate program for a period of 3 months. The program is self-paced so you can go through the content and implement at your own pace. We have found the time commitment necessary to complete the program in the 90 day periods, is on average, 3 hours per week, although this depends on your own personal preference.
