Our journey began with our flagship 4-month course, 'Certification in Functional Nutrition', and has now grown immensely to include a variety of short and advanced courses, masterclasses, and many more certificate courses. Our curriculum – set apart by its holistic modality – includes relevant topics surrounding human health and health dysfunctions, viewed from a Functional Nutrition lens.

Imparting this crucial knowledge to eager minds helps us create the healthy world we dream of, where lifestyle diseases are a thing of the past and every mind and soul is thriving.
What is
Functional Nutrition?
Functional Nutrition is a powerful cornerstone to Functional Medicine. It is a holistic wellness approach that takes into account all the essential aspects of an individual such as their daily habits, important health metrics, current lifestyle and the environment they are living in.
Power of Root Cause Analysis
The emergence of chronic diseases isn't sudden, it is the result of untreated abnormalities like nutritional deficiencies, toxicity, infections and more. Root Cause Analysis helps detect the key areas of distress that resulted in the emergence of the disease.
Analysing the Blood Using Optimal Ranges
The blood is your body's data centre. While analysing the blood parameters, it is important to use optimal ranges rather than reference ranges for accurate interpretation.
Importance of Personalised Treatment Plans
Every individual is unique. The individual's lifestyle, genetics, environment, health history, all need to be considered while designing the perfect treatment plan.
Holistic Approach to Healing
The body is an interconnected web of systems. Complete reversal of disease is only possible with mind, body and soul healing.
Conventional medicine doesn’t stand a chance of turning the tide against chronic disease ...
But you do.
