Joining the Functional Medicine Academy has been one of the best decisions I've made for my business and personal development. As a self-made herbalist and traditional naturopath, I had some resistance in the beginning with some of the new things I was learning- I was fighting internally with myself about the changes and getting in my way. It was after the mastermind retreat for me. I realized, yes, I have experience and longevity in my business, but I was not making the impact I knew I could for my clients and myself. There wasn't much growth in my business or reward for me with the practices I formerly used. Longevity is great but not if you're just getting by. I was missing so many opportunities to make greater impact with the clients I serve and make a healthy living for myself. I knew I needed to make a change. Well, let me tell you, FMA is the truth, the light and the way. Since FMA I have developed an amazing signature system that works! I love being able to offer my clients something tangible that gets them from feeling like crap to living their best life and make a better living for myself. I plan to stick around the Dr. Z for at least the next 2 years as I move into millionaire status and that's on God!!!

Dr. Z and her team make every effort to ensure clinicians are supported and motivated to continue creating and moving our business forward! There are never ending resources at our fingertips and always someone available to answer a question, expel doubt and instill motivation! I am so glad Dr.Z's FMA was recommended to me as I feel it has allowed me to have a sense of where to start with my Functional Medicine practice and have no doubt it will continue to guide me every step of the way!

I love Functional Medicine but didn't know how or where to start. In a short 9 months, I went from nothing to 1. build & start a business 2. Making my first 20K, while owning another business + raising 4 young children. Other people do it in 4 months. This is an amazing, well-rounded program that covers everything from clinical to build and how to grow your FM business. If you struggle, just join Dr. Z program & trust the process.

I love the support and guidance I have received from my Advisor and team. California is a special State to say the least. Looking forward to my functional medicine future.

I've been with FMA since January 2024 and have had a great experience. The education is very comprehensive and I have been able to use it all to create a complete functional/integrative medical practice. Along with business support this is a very comprehensive program that provides anything one would need to be successful.

The Dr Z program is truly packed with knowledge and there’s a lot of support available and I just love the integrity of the leadership and staff. You truly are getting an incredible value here, and if you are on the fence I recommend going for it. There is a lot of information and can be intimidating but if you work with your coaches you can do it!

I rarely write reviews, but my experience with Dr. Z’s Functional Medicine Academy was so outstanding that I had to share. Choosing this program over others was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The level of knowledge provided was exceptional, and the support was unmatched. Dr. Z goes above and beyond for her clients, and her entire team is incredibly knowledgeable and always ready to help. If you’re looking for a program that truly invests in your growth and success, this is it!

Dr. Z and her entire team taught me the skills and tools to turn my dreams into reality! The certification program was a dynamic duo of an intensive functional medicine clinical track paired with an equally intensive how to build a business track which created this opportunity for our family. I continue to learn and thrive with weekly live classes, workshops, masterclasses and 1:1 mentor paired with strategic advisor sessions. There is a perfect blend of clinical support and strategic business building support as you learn, grow and dream big! I would have never thought this was possible! The unwavering support is priceless. They know who you are on the live calls, they encourage all questions no matter how big or small and they are your BIGGEST cheerleaders - Your Success is Their Success. This has been an incredible journey so far this year. I formally launched my business full time and can't wait to see what the future holds!

Dr. Z and her team are amazing! I believe in investing in yourself and your business, so I have invested A LOT in the best of the best coaches and their programs and am thankful for them. However, I couldn't put all of the pieces together because they were not medical, so there was always a disconnect in how to translate and apply what was learned to medical practice. It now clicks as a result of this program! If you're a believer in holistic & preventative healthcare AND you want to learn how to create and work on your business rather than in it, this is the perfect program for you! I don't even know how I came across the program but whoever put me on, THANK YOU!! Thanks to Anees for getting me registered! Thanks to Dr. Z and the entire crew!! 😊

As a physician with 30 years of experience, Dr. Z’s Mentorship 3.0 program has given me the business knowledge and actionable steps I needed to launch my own functional medicine practice. The 1-on-1 coaching, daily live teaching, and patient clinical care reviews are invaluable, along with the complete marketing support to get my practice up and running. I’m truly thankful to Dr. Z and her team for their selfless dedication to our success. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to take their practice to the next level!

Integrity. Excellence. Empowering. Transparent.Just a few words to describe Functional Medicine Academy ( FMA). Since joining FMA March 2024 it has been the best decision I have made for myself professionally and personal. From the CEO to the note scribers there is overwhelming support and encouragement to enhance one’s knowledge about Functional Medicine and how to develop and thrive as a business owner. Also within FMA there lies a community of practitioners whom respect each other and advocate for each other’s success. Concerned about enhancing your knowledge? There is never lack of classes: marketing? mindset?sales? lab analysis? You got it and then some. Certification sure! Hormones. HIPAA. Mold & Detox, etc. And at FMA you are never left astray. Assigned a coach the first week, communication board, just to name a few resources. If you are looking for a sign to make that change this is it! Grateful for FMA and where it has brought me today and what it will lead me to thrive as a successful, compassionate Functional Medicine Provider tomorrow. Maribelle B. Abergas, FNP-BC, FMACP

This opportunity changed my life. I have worked 13 years in the ER, burnt out, looking for something different. Came across this program and took a leap of faith. In my first month launching, I made $20k. I’m half way through my second month and made $10k so far. I started the program end of May with no previous functional medicine experience or education and launched on September 1st. What helped me was being coach able and trusting the process. There’s great mentorship and guidance the whole way through. This was the best investment into myself I’ve taken.

Dr. Z and the Functional Medicine Academy are absolute GAME CHANGERS. From the very top, Dr. Z’s unparalleled expertise in marketing and business development create a transformative approach that equips Functional Medicine practitioners of all kinds with the tools they need to thrive. The Functional Medicine Academy (FMA) delivers a comprehensive, cutting-edge educational curriculum that not only provides in-depth, actionable Functional Medicine knowledge but also offers certification to back it up. It truly is the one-stop shop for building a thriving, sustainable practice. But what truly sets FMA apart is the incredible support system they provide every step of the way. From weekly coaching sessions to targeted classes that dive deep into clinical, business, marketing, and mindset mastery, you are never left to figure it out on your own. They cover all the bases to ensure your success. On top of that you get your own personal coach that also mentors you along the way helping you stay the course with all the moving pieces. And above all, Dr. Z and the entire FMA team genuinely care about every practitioner’s success. It’s not just about information—it’s about transformation. The level of care and personal investment they show makes all the difference. I am SO GRATEFUL for Dr.Z and the entire FMA staff. There is simply nothing out there that rivals this comprehensive, caring, effective program who's mission it is, is to help practitioners THRIVE in ALL areas of their Functional Medicine practice. Thank you Dr.Z and entire FMA staff! Sincerely, Sarah Reilly, CNC, FMACC

I have studied with several Functional Medicine mentors and programs trying to get various pieces of the puzzle, but Dr Z has the whole enchilada under one roof!!! With her expertise, and her solid team of MSA's, I have been able to solidify and launch my program and enroll clients faster than ever before. If you are looking for a one stop shop, or soup to nuts program, this is it ! Dr Z over-delivers on her promises, and has shown the utmost integrity, creativity and caring to all of her mentees. Talk to her team and get any of your questions answered.

This is the most comprehensive program you will find for Functional Medicine. The support from the team exceeds expectations. From certification, to implementation, marketing, business and beyond. Your success is guaranteed.

I joined the Functional Medicine Academy to advance my career and deepen my understanding of functional medicine, but I gained so much more than just a certification.
