ALL LESSONS ARE RECORDED. WATCH ANYTIME THAT WORKS WITH YOUR SCHEDULE.

I have done so many certifications in pursuit of gaining more knowledge and making connections of what I learn. After taking Marla’s courses I figured I should just have learned from her. With Marla’s way of teaching I have been able to effortlessly understand complex concepts because she knows what her students are looking for. She generously shares her knowledge and keeps giving and giving and also provides resources which are extremely helpful in bringing clarity. Every time I go back and watch the trainings, I have new Aha moments. Her Q&A sessions are also a valuable opportunity to deepen your understanding. Marla’s courses are extremely comprehensive and jam packed with her years of experience. I’m very grateful to have found her and will always have her as my teacher.

Marla is a wealth of information and the course content ( Functional Lab Testing) was more in-depth than other courses/webinars I've taken in this area. I truly learned something new!

Amazing course! So detailed!! I’ve been using some diagnostic testing and have done training modules here and there, but this was by far the most comprehensive. I’ve recommended you to my friend, a fellow Nutritionist- Thank you!
