I signed up because I wanted to really understand mold, methylation and functional labs and turn that into more “practical knowledge” that I could apply.
There's just so much to digest! Brendan did a great job of bringing together blood chemistry with the OAT with symptomatology. Tying all the links together was really helpful for me. Being able to come to him directly and ask questions privately was also a nice aspect!
Brendan has the understanding to be able to talk about research papers, biochemistry and dive deep, while bringing in the links to show you how to apply it all in practice.
Being new to functional medicine, it was validating and confidence boosting to be in the program because I could immediately know if my client recommendations were aligned with what I was studying. I also learned in the mentorship how to better prioritize where to put my client’s dollar and it gave me confidence in talking to my client about why we were prioritizing which testing for her.
This program is go at your own pace, and having the ability to dive back in when I wanted or needed to was really helpful. Having a monthly call with case studies was great so I could see what approach he would take with a client!
Definitely do the program if you’re interested in diving deeper in blood chemistry, mold, detoxification, digestion and using the OAT more effectively and gaining confidence in your practice!

FDN-P, CHEK, FHMP™
As a Functional Diagnostic Health Practitioner and Holistic Lifestyle Coach with over 15 years of clinical experience, Brendan's FMHP Program is by far the most valuable practitioner course I have ever taken. His wisdom, passion, and commitment to bringing quality education to the functional medicine space is above and beyond. The course presents such a thoughtful and deliberate way of addressing mental and metabolic health, looking at the entire spectrum of mental illness and mental well-being. Brendan does an incredible job at both zooming in and out on very complex topics, teaching essential skills for critical thinking and compassionate coaching. This program is an absolute game changer in the functional medicine world, and will redefine how we observe, quantify and optimize mental wellness. I cannot recommend this course more!

CASE STUDIES
Don't take our word for it...
See what our clients say about working with us!
I’ve been in the Functional Wellness space for over 30 years and have taken courses from a lot of different people. Brendan is definitely at the top of my list of favorites. His FMHP™ program filled in the missing links I needed to take my business to a whole new level. I highly recommend it. You’ll be blown away.
As a licensed healthcare provider new to the functional medicine space. This was a perfect course to be equipped with several tools to bio-individualize treatments and lifestyle recommendations for patients. This definitely isn’t a cookie cutter protocol program. The course goes over a wide variety of topics, such as the microbiome, traditional lab testing on a deeper level, stool testing, Mental MAP, and organic acid test. Each topic is very in-depth, evidence-based and goes down to the biochemical, anatomy and physiology level usually with labs. Each video builds on itself and Brendan does a great job of keeping the topic interesting with personal or client examples that help to summarize each topic. I highly recommend this course and have never been in a course that is so in-depth.
I was grateful to take Brendan’s OAT workshop. Brendan is a great presenter offering deep insight into how all the moving parts come together to tell a story.
I learned how to look at the overall patterns of results and not just the individual markers.
I walked away with several pearls to better support, correlate and educate my clients on the contributing factors to their overall symptoms so they can use the information to regain their optimal health.
"Learning from Brendan has been an amazing experience! His ability to communicate his absurd amount of knowledge, in an easy to understand format is priceless. His style of communication is simple yet comprehensive, entertaining yet accurate, and all encompassing yet thorough. Having learned how to interpret individual client lab reports with both a near and far sighted approach is one of the many lessons I've learned while under Brendans mentorship, a skill that is not easily communicated and or taught through many other programs/certifications. Will highly recommend Brendan's FMHP to anyone who is ready to take their practice to the next level of success by personally advancing their own level of understanding of metabolic processes."
