Graduate Testimonials

Here's what our former students are saying
"This program dives deep into critical areas like brain health, gut health, hormone imbalances, and more, giving you the tools to address the root cause."

Shelby R.

Graduate

“What I loved most about the program is that the content is regularly updated with the latest research, which is constantly evolving.”

Emily H.

Graduate

"I realized the way I personally eat and professionally cook contradicted each other, and I was eager to align the two. While I researched many other programs, I felt connected to mindbodygreen’s approach and ethos. There was comfort in learning from tried and true practitioners who provide a general understanding in this otherwise contradictory and confusing subject."

Joe Anthony

Executive Chef, The Moore, Miami

“This program goes beyond the outdated, one-size-fits-all curriculum. It will help you tackle gut issues, hormone imbalances and help you take a preventative approach as you age. “

Frequently Asked Questions

What will I learn in mbg’s Functional Nutrition Training program?
Students in this course will gain an in-depth understanding of functional nutrition, a nutritional philosophy that looks at the body as a whole and focuses on the root causes of a condition rather than an isolated set of symptoms.

Functional nutrition is grounded in the premise that food can truly help heal the body and that what we eat plays a major role in addressing chronic disease, inflammation, autoimmune conditions and other mind & body imbalances.

As such, the Functional Nutrition Training includes a deep dive into key body systems to build understanding of how each appears when in and out of balance, and how to help restore optimal functioning - from heart health, brain health, gut health, thyroid health, hormone health and more.
Are there any prerequisites to enroll in mbg’s Functional Nutrition Training program?
No - There is no prerequisite to enroll in our Functional Nutrition Training.
Who is mbg’s Functional Nutrition Training program for?
This training is for anyone who wants to gain an in-depth functional nutrition education, including understanding the role food plays in overall health and the choices that can be made to address chronic conditions through food and lifestyle.
What can I do with my mbg Functional Nutrition Training certificate?
Graduates of this program earn a certificate with the title of mindbodygreen Functional Nutrition Expert. The functional nutrition expertise provided by this course has allowed our graduates to apply their knowledge towards a variety of disciplines at the intersection of food, nutrition and well-being.
What sets mbg’s Functional Nutrition Training apart from other functional nutrition courses?
Our self-paced program features a collection of top functional medicine doctors and wellness experts that are not found together in any other nutrition course.

The diversity of our expert faculty, and our supporting program curriculum, is also strategically designed to equip graduates to work across a diversity of contexts & conditions. This well-rounded perspective, versus a single approach or philosophy, is a differentiator for mindbodygreen.

In addition, a live guest speaker event is hosted every quarter, featuring our top faculty and other best-in-class wellness experts.

The best part? You’ll have access to all of the above - and more - for life! If you’d like to learn more about what makes our Functional Nutrition Training stand apart, we invite you to chat with a Program Advisor.
How long does it typically take to complete mbg’s Functional Nutrition Training?
Students typically complete our self-paced Functional Nutrition Training in 8 to 10 weeks and then take an additional week or more to prepare for their final assessment exam.
Are there any technology requirements to participate in the program?
This course takes place online - through streamed video, downloaded materials & live events - so you must have access to a computer or mobile device with a quality internet connection.
Do you offer payment plans?
We offer a range of payment plans through Affirm.

You can select an Affirm plan upon enrollment, or you can learn more about the options available by speaking with a Program Advisor.
How do mbg’s Health Coach Certification and Functional Nutrition Training differ?
The Functional Nutrition Training provides in-depth insight on functional nutrition. It’s a fantastic compliment to the Health Coach Certification, and as an advanced training to build upon nearly any health & wellness discipline.

Our Health Coach Certification provides students with the foundation of effective health coaching, including various methods of listening, inquiry, reflection, goal setting, mindset shifts and habit creation. While basic nutrition is covered within our Health Coach Certification, students seeking a more in-depth nutrition training would benefit from the Functional Nutrition Training program.
What is your refund policy?
Refund requests up to 14-days after purchase will receive a full refund. No refunds will be granted after that.
