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 6 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 is on average, 1.5 hours per week, although this depends on how you like to learn.
What happens to my access to the content and live calls at the end of the 6 months of access?
You will have 24/7 online access to the full content of The Functional Nutrition Certificate Program for 6 months.
At the end of the 6 months, continued access to The Functional Nutrition Certificate Program content is available through paid membership in The Alumni Association.
You can cancel your access to the recurring membership at any time.
When are the weekly, live calls?
During your 6-month program, you will have access to one live weekly Q&A and Coaching call with Dr. Jessica Drummond and expert IWHI faculty. Currently, calls are scheduled on Wednesday afternoons.
The access link and exact times can be found on your IWHI Membership Site. If you are unable to attend the calls live, no worries! All of the calls are recorded and uploaded to the IWHI Membership Site for access at your convenience.
Does this program prepare you to take the national board exam?
No. There is not a national board exam in functional nutrition. Thus, this program is all you need to begin or expand your practice.
Does this program give me access or ability to order tests or prescribe supplements in my state?
There are multiple factors that determine you ability to order or prescribe supplements that include, but is not limited to, the company you are ordering the test from, your licensure if applicable, and the law and regulations in the state / country that you live.
How many quizzes are included in this program? Is there a final evaluation to receive my certificate?
As you enter each module, you will be able to advance through by passing the short quiz for each module. Once you have completed all of the modules, you will be asked to complete a program evaluation. After you submit your evaluation, you will be given access to your downloadable and printable official course certificate (where applicable).
Once you complete all of the modules inside The Functional Nutrition Certificate Program, you will receive one final certificate showing you have completed the entire certification.
