Very thorough

Very thorough. I’ve been in medicine for 18 years. So I’ve taken a lot of CME/CEU courses & this was one of my favorites! It is a lot of information, which can be a little overwhelming if you’re just starting out. But, for certain worth it as you’d rather have everything necessary in one place as opposed to having to piece meal it all together with a ton of different courses and software.

The course is evidence based and I am getting great results with clinical outcomes. The business course is great. But you have to stick with it, if you try to just do a little of it, it probably wont click. But very worth it once you understand the strategy!!

The best functional medicine course and Dr Lauren herself is phenomenal!! She truly cares about your success and goes above & beyond to help her students. The course materials are easy to follow and highly informative. You will succeed with this program if you put in the work!

The best investment for my business and my clients!
Choosing the Academy of Functional Medicine was a total game-changer. The FIM-P certification course is incredibly thorough, and the in-person masterminds provide a level of connection and growth you can't find elsewhere.

The support from Lauren is truly top-notch—she is invested in your success. Plus, having lifetime access to all the courses ensures I always have the best tools at my fingertips. I’m so glad I chose this option; I cannot picture myself growing my business any other way.

The worst functional medicine course I’ve come across

The educational content is hugely lacking! I found myself having to turn to outside resources and self educate to just to get a better foundation, there a free resources that provide better information. The delivery of content is mainly through random talking videos and personal stories, not much tangible teaching material to follow. It may work for different learning styles if you just want to feel like someone cares about you, but it left me feeling unprepared and frustrated with my $7,000 investment! I would ask for a refund if I could. The worst investment I’ve ever made. I don’t say this to be mean. I wasted so much time listening to videos that 20 minutes in are just jabbering about irrelevant information and not covering the topic to the extent needed. I stopped going through much of the course because it’s all layed out like that. You have to wade through random videos to find one nugget of information and then piece things together. Hardly any written content or course materials at all. This is more of a support group than an academy where you should get a solid education that will prepare you to competently take care of clients.

Camille, thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for acknowledging that you felt cared for. That part truly matters to me.

I want you to know we’re on the same side here. If the program hasn’t felt as clear or actionable yet, that tells me there’s simply a gap in communication or support, not a lack of potential or value for you. And that’s something we can absolutely fix together.

Right now, you still have about 85% of the course available, along with two one-on-one calls with me that are specifically there to help bring clarity, personalize the information, and make this feel practical for you. I’ve reached out a few times because your results genuinely matter to me, and while I have not heard back, I don’t want you feeling stuck or discouraged without support.

I’ve seen many students feel uncertain early on, then gain real momentum once they complete the material and use the calls. (It is very common for new strategies to feel foreign at first). We’ve also had several students recently create significant income and incredible patient outcomes (in the last few weeks) using this information, with one leaving their main job entirely, which tells me the framework works when we align it properly to the person.

I would truly love the chance to reconnect, hear where things feel unclear, and help you move forward in a way that feels supportive and empowering rather than frustrating. My door is open whenever you’re ready.

Best FM program

I joined this program in May and have already became functional medicine certified and have my holistic telehealth business launched! I have learned so much and have been supported not only by Lauren, but by several other members in the group. 100% recommend this program if you are ready to break away from conventional medicine and learn to begin your own business doing what you enjoy!

Brittany, this makes my heart so happy. 💛

I’m incredibly proud of you. Becoming functional medicine certified and launching your holistic telehealth business in such a short time is no small feat. That happened because you showed up, took action, and trusted yourself through the process.

Watching you break away from conventional medicine and step into work you genuinely enjoy has been so rewarding, and I love that you also felt the support of the community around you. You’ve truly embodied what this program is all about.

So excited for what’s ahead for you. This is just the beginning.
