Functional medicine is an approach to healthcare that looks beyond isolated symptoms and diagnoses to understand why illness develops in the first place.
Rather than treating conditions in silos, functional medicine examines how systems in the body—such as gut health, hormones, metabolism, immune function, and stress response—interact over time.
For nurse practitioners, this means expanding clinical thinking from “What do we treat?” to “What’s driving this pattern for this patient?”
Explore functional medicine, without committing fully to its practices or treatments.

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.
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!
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.
A certificate is issued at the end of the course that will show your earned CE hours and verify your completion of this course. Certificates of completion will not be awarded prior to completion.
