The Elite Nurse Practitioner guide on how to integrate supplementation, vitamin, and nutritional support from a functional medicine standpoint into your practice!

About the Course

In collaboration with Jenni Gallagher, APRN, The Elite Nurse Practitioner is proud to announce The Functional Vitamin, Supplement, and Nutrition Course, the Elite NP guide on how to integrate supplementation, vitamin, and nutritional support from a functional medicine standpoint into your practice! This course is another addition to our functional medicine course line, and I am proud to get it released to my nurse practitioner sisters and brothers. We plan on releasing multiple functional medicine-based courses in the near future and this is a great addition to your functional medicine knowledge base!

This course is designed for the nurse practitioner who wants to learn the clinical and business concepts of providing supplement and vitamin support from a functional medicine standpoint to their patients. Providing recommendations on various evidence-based supplements, vitamins, and nutritional advice to your patients improves their well-being, overall health, and your clinics bottom line. Integrating and providing integrative medicine-based vitamin and supplement recommendations into your practice is relatively straight forward and this course will walk you through the process!

More and more patients are looking to functional and integrative medicine to improve their health. The astute nurse practitioner entrepreneur needs to be aware of these trends and understand how to provide this in demand service to their patients. Included in this, is providing solid and evidence-based recommendations on nutrition, supplements, and vitamins! Many patients are wanting to stick to natural and holistic healthcare interventions, therefore many of them are interested in learning more about supplements and vitamins from a licensed PROVIDER who understands the medical implications of these alternative treatment options. And this course will guide the nurse practitioner on what top supplements you should be recommending and providing in your practice.

Patients are sick of being handed another pill that has side effects and can be expensive and providing sound nutritional advice and evidence-based supplement and vitamin recommendations can help reduce patient costs and improve clinical outcomes without nasty side effects.

The vitamin and supplement industry is valued at over $100-billion dollars and continues to grow! The demand continues to increase; therefore, as a nurse practitioner entrepreneur who is looking to integrate another revenue stream into their practice and to improve clinical outcomes, you should be providing vitamin, supplement, and nutritional recommendations into your practice! Your patients can either hear sound advice from you, or from the “bro” behind that counter at a supplement store! I think you know who they would rather hear the advice from ?

This course is designed to teach the nurse practitioner who has ZERO experience with vitamins and supplements the foundational functional and integrative medicine knowledge to integrate this niche service line into their practice. This course covers not only foundational nutritional advice that improves metabolic health, but also covers over 2 dozen evidence-based supplements/vitamins that can improve your patient’s overall health and wellbeing! And the best part? This course is affordable and actionable!
