Great explanation! I am a holistic nutrition practitioner who views client through a functional lense, and helps clients with an integrative approach.

Now that is why I am beyond happy that I have begun my Functional Nutrition Alliance journey. I am doing this for so many reasons. Thank you Andrea!

This was an outstanding video. I was laser focused on becoming an ND. And when I saw it was impossible based on my state I was super discouraged. It seems with functional medicine I will still be able to have the same impact with regards to health and wellness in people. Thank you for your thoroughness.

Beautifully said. By reaching for the life we are told is our “best life”, we miss the natural beauty of life in itself ☺️

[lorna]

Thank you for this video! I’m in the process of choosing a nutrition program and needed some guidance on what’s the best fit for me. Now knowing the differences, I can make an informed decision.

Thank you for clarifying the different terms used by Nutritionists, Dietitians and other Healthcare Practitioners. This has helped me to better understand approaches to practicing in the health & wellness industry. Also, this will enable me to better communicate the role of Functional Nutrition, and in particular describe it to prospective clients and/or other health care practitioners within a clients healthcare team.

I like the way she communicated this. It wasn't off putting. I come from a scientific background which I find myself skeptical to inprecise speech, but this was well done.

[ezrawellness]

Beautifully explained now I really understand what kind of practices I am.

[NandaMitchell-cyjp]

Watching this video because I wanted to understand the differences as a patient. Great information, thank you!

Would this be a good profession for me? Reason I ask is I hate chemistry....but I love food, excercise and getting people healed without the use of drugs if possible. Thx

Hi Andrea, I am a future student of nutrition and functional medicine. I find your videos and podcast to be extremely helpful and interesting. I am reaching out to ask if I may be able to send a few questions to you for guidance in this career, and educational path. I will try to reach out via your website, too. I am hoping we exchange email addresses somehow so I may learn a little more about your journey as you are a voice of inspiration to me. Please let me know if you would welcome this request and the best way to reach you. Thank you for your consideration. - Taeya Ngo
