Functional Nutrition Course<br />
<strong>In</strong> response to the epidemic of lifestyle-related chronic<br />
illnesses—now classifi ed as lifestyle syndromes—The <strong>In</strong>stitute for<br />
Functional <strong>Medicine</strong> developed the Functional Nutrition Course<br />
(FNC) to provide practical nutrition assessment and clinical<br />
management skills for primary care and nutrition professionals.<br />
TODAY’S LANDSCAPE<br />
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, chronic diseases are the leading cause<br />
of death and disability in the United States. At its core, chronic disease is intimately connected with<br />
diet and lifestyle behaviors and requires effective diet and lifestyle solutions, yet nutrition education<br />
in US medical schools continues to be woefully inadequate. What is needed is a comprehensive and<br />
cohesive approach that provides a practical framework for weaving nutrition-related medicine into<br />
an integrative and synergistic whole that delivers personalized care for chronic disease.<br />
