The Foundational Functional Medicine course was with developed with practicing Functional Medicine NPs as a robust guide to starting a new functional medicine practice or integrating functional medicine into an existing practice.
Patients are frustrated with traditional medicine’s approach of using pills and never-ending appointments to treat disease symptoms while never solving the underlying problems. Functional medicine is more effective at finding and treating the root causes of health issues. Increasingly more health conscious and willing to make life changes to improve their health, patients are looking for credible, functional medicine providers for their care. This course educates nurse practitioners on how to become what these patients are looking for.
This course addresses a patient-centered and systems biology-based approach to chronic disease management. Holistic approaches are identified to treat the root cause of chronic disease and enabling patients to make lifestyle changes that will bring their body back into balance and wellbeing.
Functional Medicine is a growing, 87-billion-dollar US industry offering amazing opportunities for astute nurse practitioner entrepreneurs. This course will teach you how to create a predominately cash-based practice with healthy profits while spending quality time with patients.
Costing tens of thousands of dollars less than other functional medicine programs, our Functional Medicine Course is AFFORDABLE and provides top quality, up-to-date information!
I was tired of my earnings not reflecting my true worth. Tired of spending more time charting than treating patients. Tired of being steered down the wrong path by academics who urged me to plunge further into debt for another degree.
That’s when I discovered the real opportunities in healthcare – telemedicine, functional medicine, and independent practice. I built my expertise, launched my own practice, and increased my income by over 300%.
Now I’m sharing everything I’ve learned through Elite NP, helping nurse practitioners like you build the career and income you deserve.

You can access this course however many times you want for however long you want. All Elite Nurse Practitioner Courses are pre-recorded and accessible indefinitely.
We go over each step to get started on the right foot from a business standpoint. We cover everything: service pricing, LLC formation, marketing, and everything in between!
You will walk away from this course as a more knowledgeable and competent provider. Functional medicine is always evolving, and your education should as well.
If you are starting a cash-based practice, you can have a practice up and running within 4 to 6 weeks. If you are going to accept insurance, the credentialing process will take 3 to 6 months. So, it is best to get started immediately if you plan to take insurance.
Outside of your nurse practitioner degree, you do not need any additional licensure to practice functional medicine. However, it can be helpful to complete continuing education before practicing any new service. Malpractice carriers may also require proof of CE to remain insured. That’s why this course is the best place to start!
Yes! We will cover various marketing topics and techniques to help get patients through the door and increase your practice’s volume.
If you live in a restricted state, you will need to employ a physician collaborator to practice functional medicine. If you live in a free-practice state, this is not required. If you are in a restricted state and would prefer not to hire a physician collaborator, it is possible to operate via telemedicine and register your business in a free practice state.
This functional medicine course covers core concepts of functional medicine, but does not delve especially deeply into any body system. For those who want to apply functional medicine principles to specific clinical concentrations, it may be worth it to take one of our specialty functional medicine classes. This cost-effective bundle allows you to receive both an overview of functional philosophy and get further information on specific niches.
