About the Course – What You Will Learn
"Good doctors know what to do.Great doctors know WHY."
What is Nutritional Pathology?
Pathology has been defined as that branch of medicine that treats the essential nature and primary causative factors of disease. Pathology is the study of cells, organs and biological systems. It includes looking at tissues, biochemistry and organ systems to determine the nature of the cellular disturbance.
Nutritional Pathology is the study of the cellular basis for ill health – the true causes being primarily nutritional aberrations, environmental inputs and lifestyle factors.
Lifestyle and nutritional means are employed to re-establish and maintain essential health throughout the lifespan. NP uses the latest in biochemical analysis, physical examinations and an integrated mind-body model to evaluate and see clearly what a person is experiencing and why.
A more complete understanding of organ systems allows effective, less harmful, proven and evidence-based treatments to be applied, to not only resolve symptoms, but also restore proper and vital cellular function.

Why consider this course?
Both seasoned functional medicine practitioners and students appreciate the teaching style and practical clinical information that Dr. Lundell provides. He not only teaches but uses this information every day in his practice. This course condenses and makes practical a massive amount of information and clinical tools.
You will learn the essential nature of most illnesses that you will see in your practice. You will learn the art of seeing clearly what is truly happening in the patient, at a cellular/biochemical level as well as the big picture. You will be able to help patients who have been to several other doctors without getting the answers or help they need. If you truly want to start helping every patient that walks through your door, and have a thriving and successful practice, this course is essential.
This course condenses a massive amount of clinical information into something practical and immediately usable. Dr. Lundell teaches the same material he uses with patients every day — which means complex biochemistry and lab interpretation get translated into clear, actionable protocols rather than abstract theory. Practitioners at every level have found it accessible. Most report applying what they learned within the first few sessions.
Who is this course for?
Nutritional Pathology was developed for all licensed healthcare practitioners. Hundreds of practitioners have already taken this course – MD, DO, DC, ND, NP, L.Ac, Psychologists, Nutritionists, Dietitians and more.
