iBiome Consulting offers professional advisory for nurses and nurse practitioners interested in functional and integrative medicine practice, scope, and real-world application.

Take my 60 minute Class!
Most nurses and nurse practitioners interested in functional or integrative medicine are not lacking motivation. They are lacking clear, nursing-specific answers. This class is designed to address the real questions that come up before starting a practice, from scope and certification to practical application and common missteps.
What This Class Covers
This class is designed for nurses and nurse practitioners who want a clear, realistic understanding of functional and integrative medicine without hype or fluff.
We will cover:
• What “functional medicine” actually looks like in real-world nursing and NP practice
• Scope of practice considerations for RNs vs NPs (and common legal mistakes)
• How functional medicine differs from conventional care in clinical thinking, not just labs or supplements
• Certifications: what they do, what they don’t, and what actually matters
• Translating theory into practical, ethical clinical application
• Common traps nurses fall into when transitioning into functional or integrative work
• How to think about patients, complexity, and chronic illness differently
• What I wish I had understood earlier before building this type of practice
What this class is NOT:
• Not a certification program
• Not business coaching
• Not a “start a practice in 30 days” formula
• Not clinical supervision or precepting
SEATS ARE LIMITED. JOIN THE WAITLIST.
