Finally. A Try Before You Buy Approach to Functional Medicine.

The first 60 days of Clinical Core Monthly — full access, no catch — for $1. Because you shouldn't have to blindly trust another program.

You've already spent thousands trying to become a better clinician.

Certifications. Trainings. Mentorships.
Programs that promised clinical confidence, clarity, and support.

And most of them still left you alone trying to figure out real-world clinical decisions by yourself.

We know that story. We've heard it hundreds of times. And we understand why it makes the next investment feel harder to justify — even when the next thing might actually be different.

So we stopped asking you to trust us on faith.

The first 60 days of Clinical Core Monthly are $1. Not a discounted preview. Not a limited trial with the good stuff locked behind an upgrade. Full access — every live class, every certification, LabDX, the Care Plan Builder, the community, CME credits — everything — for a dollar.

Because the only way to know if this is the clinical support you've been missing is to come inside and experience it yourself.

You're good at this. You know you're good at this.

And still:

  • You finish a visit feeling solid. Then you replay the decisions at 10pm anyway.

  • You've taken the trainings. Earned the certifications. And certain cases still follow you home.

  • You're not second-guessing yourself because you lack knowledge. You're doing it because there's no one to pressure-test your thinking with.

  • You've invested in programs before that promised clinical confidence — and left you just as isolated trying to apply it in real practice.

  • You are one complicated DUTCH + GI-MAP combo away from opening 37 browser tabs and staying there until midnight.

That's not a knowledge problem.

That's a support problem.

Most practitioner programs teach you what to know. Almost none of them support how you practice once the course ends. You finish the training. The structure disappears. Suddenly you're applying everything to imperfect, layered, real patients — without a sounding board. Without anyone to help you recalibrate when something doesn't sit right.

So you compensate the only way you can.

You overthink. You over-research. You carry cases home that should have stayed at the clinic.

Every other high-stakes profession understands this. Pilots don't stop training once they're licensed. Surgeons don't refine technique in isolation. In medicine, we quietly expect clinicians to just know — and carry the consequences by themselves.

That expectation doesn't make sense.

And it doesn't have to be how you practice.

Good Clinicians Shouldn't Practice Alone. Clinical Core Monthly Was Built Because That's Exactly What Was Happening.

Clinical Core Monthly is not another certification library.

It's your clinical home base. Ongoing decision support. A place to bring the hard cases, think out loud, and stop carrying every difficult decision alone.

  • Weekly Live Clinical Classes

Every week, live clinical sessions built around real cases and real decisions — how experienced practitioners actually think through complexity. Not lectures you passively absorb. Working sessions where you can ask the questions you're actually stuck on, get clarity in real time, and apply it immediately.

Some weeks are live case rounds — walking through decisions together. Other weeks focus on lab interpretation, sequencing, or therapeutic strategy. What to do first. What to wait on. What not to chase. There's always space for the question you've been carrying and haven't known who to ask.

  • Live Case Reviews & Real-Time Clinical Support

Some questions can't wait until the next certification drops.

Inside Clinical Core Monthly, you bring your difficult cases forward while decisions are still being made. Not to be corrected — to refine your judgment, catch blind spots earlier, and stop wondering afterward if you missed something important.

For most members, this is where things finally start to feel lighter. Not because the cases get easier. Because you're not carrying them alone anymore.

  • LabDX — Included

LabDX is not AI.

It's a decade of cultivated clinical research — PubMed, white papers, clinical textbooks, lab references, and real clinical experience — built into a platform that covers 65+ labs and is the only one of its kind worldwide.

It turns three hours of lab file prep into three minutes.

When labs come back full of markers that all seem connected, LabDX helps you decide which labs to order, interpret results without spiraling, and build a clear care plan without starting from scratch. That includes the Which Lab Should I Use tool, lab clinical reference guides, and the Care Plan Builder.

Most platforms sell this separately. The annual value runs $3,000 to $6,000. It's included in Clinical Core Monthly because modern practice requires decision support, not just education.

  • Care Plan Builder

Works on every case — simple or complex, first visit or retest, one panel or five. Merges all panels into one phased roadmap. Ranks what to treat now, what runs in parallel, and what must wait — and why. Built-in safety gates prevent detox too early, over-aggressive antimicrobials, and premature optimization.

Every case. Every clinician. Every time.

  • Full Certification Access — Every One, Past and Future

Clinical Core Monthly includes every certification ever released — and every one created going forward. Topics include:

  • Comprehensive Pediatrics Training

  • Advanced Hormone Dynamics in Women

  • Advanced Mold & Mold Detox Dynamics

  • FMA Lab Analysis

  • Brain Health

  • Anti-Aging, Biohacking, and Peptides

  • Men's Health and Hormone Optimization

  • Functional Metabolic Weight Management

  • Autoimmune

  • Dermatology

This quarter's new certification is:

Autonomic Dysregulation Patterns: Assess, Stabilize, and Restore in the Complex Patient, Including POTS, MCAS, and Long-Covid

New certifications release at least four times a year. They're automatically included. No re-buying. No surprise upsells. No tiered access. As long as you're a Clinical Core Monthly member, you have all of it.

For many practitioners, the continuing education (CE) credits from these certifications alone would justify the membership. But they're not why people stay. They stay because Clinical Core Monthly supports how they think and practice in between certifications — when real cases don't fit neatly into any single category.

  • A Practitioner-Only Community That Actually Feels Different

Private. On Skool, not Facebook. No scrolling for attention, no inspirational quotes between your clinical questions, no pressure to perform.

What you'll find instead are clinicians sharing how they're thinking through cases, where they're stuck, and what's actually working — without ego or performance. You can ask the question you've never felt comfortable asking publicly and get a thoughtful response from peers who understand the work because they're doing it too.

Available 24/7. Because questions don't follow a schedule. Sometimes clarity is needed between patients, after a long day, or in that moment when something just doesn't sit right and you want another clinical mind in the room.

  • CME / CE Credits

Accredited for MDs, DOs, PAs, NPs, RNs, APRNs, DCs, and other allied health professionals. Earned while becoming a better clinician — not by clicking through filler content at 1.25x speed just to stay compliant.

Don't Take Our Word for It. Take Theirs.

Dr. Z and her team are amazing! … 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!

You've Been Burned Before.

So We Made the First 60 Days $1.

Special Introductory Offer

$1 / 60 Days

After 60 days, membership auto-renews at $496/month. Month to month. Cancel anytime before day 61. New members only.

Most practitioner programs overpromise. Most communities are surface-level. Most clinical education stops at information and leaves you alone to figure out how to apply it to real patients who don't look anything like the textbook examples.

So instead of asking you to blindly trust another program, we're giving you the chance to come inside and find out for yourself.

For $1, you get full access to Clinical Core Monthly for 60 days. Come to a live session. Bring the case you've been sitting with. Run a complex panel through LabDX. Ask the question you've been carrying alone. See what it actually feels like when the support is real.

After day 61, membership continues at $496 a month — month to month, no long-term contract. Cancel anytime before then. No friction, no pressure, no complicated process.

If it's not what you needed, you're out $1.

But listen. If you're the kind of clinician who loses sleep because you care that much about getting it right — you're not going to want to leave.

No more excuses. Not time. Not money. Not "I need to think about it."

This offer is for new members only.

This Is for Practitioners Who Are Done Carrying It Alone.

Clinical Core Monthly is for licensed practitioners actively seeing patients — functional medicine practitioners, chiropractors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, integrative MDs, naturopaths, RNs, nutritionists, health coaches, and allied health professionals — who are tired of carrying the mental weight of this work by themselves.

It's for clinicians who care deeply about patient outcomes, want stronger clinical confidence, and want a more sustainable way to practice without burning out in the process.

It's not for patients or consumers. It's not for anyone looking for shortcuts or passive content to collect. And it's not for practitioners who want more protocols without learning how to think critically through real cases.

If you're ready to stop practicing alone — this is your next step.

After 60 days, membership auto-renews at $496/month. Month to month. Cancel anytime before day 61. New members only.
