Three Certification Pathways for Flexible Learning
Our students come from all over the world and include nutritionists, registered dietitians, medical doctors, nurses, physician assistants, health coaches, naturopaths, and nurse practitioners, to name just a few. Everyone has their unique reasons for studying integrative and functional nutrition, which is why we offer three Pathways for experiencing IFNA.
