No! There will not be any pre-requisites, but students who do not have prior health-related education or certifications will likely have to complete some suggested, additional education in order to be fully prepared to pass the final exam. (Think: additional recommended reading/videos)

Our first round of the program started late-summer & our second round will start at the top of 2025!

Yes! Students will be able to pay in monthly installments through Affirm.

The course will be self-paced. There will be an educational component that can be completed in as few as 90-days, then students will transition into a “residency” portion of the program in which they are able to take on clients with oversight from our medical team.

The final exam will be online and proctored.

We will provide lab ordering services through Kale Diagnostics to ensure legal compliance.

Yes, we are accepting 50 students for this round of the program and we do expect that these spots will fill up quickly!

You will be a Certified Nutritional Practitioner (CN-P). This credential will not provide licensure.

Yes! We encourage you to work with your own clients during the residency! However, if you do not have your own clients, we will be providing many case studies throughout the residency so you’ll be able to learn and gain experience whether you have your own clients or not.

No, you do not have to have a following on social media to gain clients! We will provide some education and support to help you market your business.

November 15th is the cutoff date to join the next cohort, but we anticipate that the class will fill up before then.

Each student will move at a different pace, but the estimated time is between 5-8 hours per module (real hours, not academia hours).

Students will take quizzes, a proctored exam, and complete a final thesis. Feedback is provided by course leaders, and there is an extended, ongoing mock residency that allows students to practice new skills.

No, you do not need approval for every post if your credential is listed in your Bio. Our only requirement is that you seek approval for posts that directly address this program or provide context into what it means to be a CN-P. This is to ensure that you remain legally compliant and avoid potential issues with regulatory bodies. Our goal is to support you and protect you from any regulatory repercussions.

Additional mentoring will likely be provided upon the first cohort round. Additional classes regarding condition-specific specialties are a future initiative that has already begun to be developed.

Protocol edits will be charged per hour. $45 to start and subject to change to matching growing inflation.

The CN-P program is designed to help registered dietitians gain more confidence with functional lab testing. It provides comprehensive training that complements your existing knowledge, allowing you to offer more holistic and effective care to your clients.

No, maintaining your licensure is helpful. It provides a safety net and allows you to work with clients freely and make recommendations legally and independently.

As a registered dietitian with a strong educational foundation, you may not feel the need for additional clinical oversight. However, the program does offer options for clinical oversight if you prefer to have that support.

While you can operate in an unlicensed manner, it is advisable to maintain your licensure to avoid any legal issues. Licensure is particularly important for insurance purposes and to ensure compliance with state regulations.

Yes, many registered dietitians complete non-licensure programs to fill gaps in their education and enhance their practice. An example is the Hormone Healing RD, who has functional training and provides specialized care without licensure issues.

As a registered dietitian, you have the credential to provide nutrition advice. If state boards question your practice, you can demonstrate your qualifications and the additional training you have received through programs like CN-P.

Licensure allows you to legally provide nutrition advice and recommendations. It also offers credibility and trust with clients and regulatory bodies. Additionally, it ensures you can work with insurance companies and other healthcare providers without issues.
