06Questions

What do people ask before enrolling on the Functional Nutrition?

What is functional nutrition?

Functional nutrition looks for the root causes of health concerns rather than just easing symptoms. It treats the body as interconnected systems and tailors nutrition and lifestyle to the individual.

Does this replace medical treatment?

No. It is a wellness and skill-enhancement certificate, not a medical qualification. You support clients with nutrition and lifestyle in an educational role and refer medical issues to qualified professionals.

Do I need prior nutrition knowledge?

Yes, some grounding helps, as this is an advanced course. It builds on core nutrition concepts, though mentor support is available throughout.

How is the course delivered?

It runs fully online over about two months, in English and Hindi, with lifetime access to the recordings and ongoing mentor support.

What certificate do I earn?

You receive the Functional and Integrative Nutrition skill-enhancement certificate from NNWA on completion. EMI options are available for the fee.
