Overview:

Functional Nutrition Level 2 is a continuation of Level 1. Part 2 will expand into the science behind the gut microbiome, gastrointestinal hormone imbalances, how nutrition influences neuroinflammation, and central sensitization.

This part of the certification also reviews evidence-based nutritional supplements for the treatment of many chronic pain syndromes, as well as standard blood work and functional medicine testing.

 

This Online Course is Broken Down into 6 Weeks:

 

Week 5: Gastrointestinal Imbalances

The complex interaction of diet along with the gut microbiome in the development and reversal of chronic pain is a link too strong to ignore in your practice. This week teaches you innovative and effective strategies that center around gastrointestinal imbalances with an emphasis on digestion, intestinal barrier permeability, alterations in the gut microbiome, assimilation of nutrients, and the gut-immune system.

Health conditions reviewed include inflammatory bowel diseases, irritable bowel syndrome, celiacs and nonceliac gluten sensitivity and disorders of systemic inflammation. Nutritional support of GI function and repair is emphasized with a focus on the gut-joint connection.

Week 6: Autoimmune Disease

Autoimmune disease is on the rise and the immune system is a critical driver of pain both centrally and
peripherally. In this week, you will gain a thorough understanding of the most common autoimmune
diseases and learn to intervene using functional nutrition.

Other topics looked at in detail are predictive autoantibodies; infection; endocrine influences; and
environmental and xenobiotic factors that contribute to autoimmune disease. By the end of this week, you will understand why common autoimmune conditions once identified as idiopathic now have a root cause etiology that informs natural pain care.

Week 7: Brain in Pain, Fatigue & Energy 

Nociception and pain begin (and end) with the brain. Here we take a comprehensive and often-overlooked view of the influence of nutrition on mitochondrial dysfunction and other mechanisms of abnormal energy production .

You’ll examine neuropathic pain, central sensitization, and the overall role the central nervous system plays in pain and nociception. In addition, this week evaluates chronic fatigue — common in 50% of those with pain. Conditions such as neurodegenerative disorders, chronic fatigue, and fibromyalgia will be reviewed.

Week 8: Hormones and Neurotransmitters

This week looks at how nutrition and psychoemotional stress influence the delicate balance and imbalance of neurotransmitters and hormones the body uses for communication. Particular emphasis is placed on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, thyroid dysfunction, sex hormones and adrenal physiology.

The effects of diet, nutrient deficiencies, gut health, botanicals, and stress on neurotransmitters and hormones are analyzed within a functional nutrition framework.

Week 9: Evidence-based Supplements

This week helps you sort out the confusion as it looks at the evidence-base behind which nutritional supplements modulate inflammation, nociception, and decrease pain. You’ll gain expert insights about when to recommend supplements; what type of patients benefit from them; and the top supplement protocols that are most effective.

The information presented in this week is a strong complement to the nutrition and diet frameworks
taught in week nine. Finally, we will look at how common pain medications may be creating nutrient
deficiencies and how to intervene.

Week 10: Functional Testing

Achieving the best possible outcomes for patients may require that certain conventional and functional tests are utilized. This week explores the import tests that may include the collection of blood, saliva, urine and/or stool – and the role these tests play in a functional nutrition intervention.

You’ll learn how such tests can uncover hidden nutrient deficiencies and health stressors that have developed over a period of years that may have been ignored or under-appreciated in conventional medicine.

By learning to implement sound functional testing into your practice, you’ll learn how to effectively restore long-term health and optimal function for your patients.
