This program is for you if...

  • You’re confident in the basics, but now you’re looking for next-level understanding of advanced blood chemistry, hormone dynamics, detox systems, glucose regulation, and thyroid dysfunction — the kind of depth that sets top-tier functional medicine practitioner training apart.
  • You’re seeing complex, chronic cases and want to know exactly what to do, with the confidence of clinical precision.
  • You’re tired of digging through lectures and notes and just want clear, fast answers, instantly — whether you’re a clinician or a functional medicine health coach seeking deeper support tools.
  • You’re done with the single-seminar hamster wheel — those one-off trainings that leave you with more questions than answers — and you're ready for real, structured functional medicine training that builds lasting clinical skill.
  • You’re done ordering labs that cost a fortune and leave you confused. Instead, you’re ready to learn which advanced tests actually matter, how to interpret them with confidence, and when to use them.
  • You’ve outgrown foundational training and are ready for true mentorship, professional-level clinical strategy, and systems that scale with you.

Where everything clicks

Inside the Advanced Professional Certificate, you’ll do more than learn “cool new stuff.” You’ll own your role as a go-to functional medicine expert.

No more chasing the next seminar or weekend course that still leaves gaps in your knowledge.

No more guesswork trying to decide which advanced labs matter and which are just hype.

No more patching together “bits and pieces” from different programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I go straight to the Advanced Certificate?

We recommend completing the Foundation Certificate first, as the Advanced courses build directly on those core concepts. While you’ll have immediate access to both Foundation and Advanced content if you purchase the Advanced Program (which includes the Foundation Program), you’ll need to complete the Foundation Capstone Project before you can submit the Advanced Capstone Project. This ensures you have the clinical grounding needed to get the most out of the advanced-level material.

How long do I have access?

When you enroll in the Advanced Certificate, you get 15 months of access to both the Foundation and Advanced Certificate programs compared to just 6 months of access if you enroll in the Foundation Certificate alone. Need more time? You can easily extend your access, which is perfect for busy functional medicine coaches and full-time practitioners who need extra flexibility.

What makes the AI Practitioner Assistant different from generic AI?

It’s strictly trained on the full 200+ hours of Clinician’s Code™ curriculum — unlike generic tools used in other functional medicine training programs. This is clinical-grade support you can trust.

What if I’m still building my practice?

Perfect! We blend clinical mastery with practical business systems. You’ll learn marketing strategies, patient acquisition, and retention methods that support your growth at every stage.

Do I have to pay in full?

We offer payment plans through Afterpay, Klarna, Paypal Credit, personal credit card, and Affirm. These options make our functional medicine certification more accessible than ever.
