“I have taken several Holistic Nutrition programs over the years and none of the programs compare to Functional Nutrition Alliance training. Andrea’s teaching style has transformed my life and confidence in introducing compliance with my clients. This is the best Nutrition training and it’s a must for all healthcare practitioners including doctors, dietitians, and nutritionists.”

“It’s definitely worth the money. Worth every penny. Best investment you can make, both for your clients and for people in your life.

My husband who is a doctor had an autoimmune condition. Nobody in western medicine could help him. Andrea and I guided him and he got completely better. On his 60th birthday, he thanked me for saving his life. He didn’t think he was going to make it, and I couldn’t have done what I did without Andrea.

I think all health coaches should go through this.“

I absolutely LOVE how Andrea repeatedly tells us that we CAN solve complicated health challenges, and she teaches us how, one step at a time. This course has been revolutionary for me and my thinking and I cannot wait to see how many lives will be transformed because of it!“
