Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner Programs to Address Autoimmune Disease

Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner Program to Become a Certified Expert in Autoimmune Disease

As a Nurse Practitioner, I know you have a heart for helping patients heal the root cause of chronic disease.

From speaking with Nurse Practitioners, I also know that autoimmune disease is on the rise everywhere. Click here to get access to my free masterclass.

As you decide which type of functional nurse practitioner programs to join next, I strongly encourage you to become an expert in reversing and preventing autoimmune disease.

There are several key reasons I recommend you focus on developing autoimmune expertise first

1. Autoimmune disease and cancer are the flip side of the same coin. By learning how to heal the root cause of immune system dysregulation, you prevent both cancer and all types of autoimmune disease.

2. Over 50 million Americans have some form of autoimmune disease. The data is now showing us the mental health issues are immune system related. The increasing rates in children is alarming. Many of the patients that come to see you with “pre-autoimmune disease” can be helped.

3. The body is phenomenal at healing itself. My approach to autoimmune disease reversal and prevention is to remove what is preventing the body from doing what it’s designed to do. This approach makes it very simple and fast to start seeing results and feeling better. This is an extremely fulfilling way to practice medicine.

There are a variety of Functional Medicine training programs available for Nurse Practitioners and that is beautiful for our world.

Solving the root cause of why people have autoimmune conditions is the healthcare revolution we need and I want you to join me.

I love collaborating and practicing with Nurse Practitioners (two are on my autoimmune care team where I practice full time as the Director of the International Autoimmune Institute for Functional Medicine. We are the first institute in the country (and I believe the world) to focus on Autoimmune Functional Medicine.

Working with Nurse Practitioners has shown me that:

• As a nurse you got into medicine because you have a deep desire to care for patients.
• As a Nurse Practitioner you significantly invested in your education to take charge of the healthcare you provide patients.
• That your heart is built to serve the holistic needs of the patient, treating the whole person not just the symptoms.
• Functional medicine training for nurse practitioners is a natural next step because it’s focused on addressing the root cause and is a powerful tool for holistic prevention.

I believe Nurse Practitioners who adopt a root cause approach to healthcare will be the game changers that revolutionize healthcare worldwide! I am grateful you are here and I hope you join me in my mission to revolutionize how autoimmune disease is treated worldwide by implementing the fundamentals of Functional Medicine.

Today, I invite you to delve deeper into the world of Functional Medicine and understand how our autoimmune care-focused Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner Program can be a game-changer for your career, family, and community. I’ve practiced this way using the traditional insurance model. It’s possible, and I can show you how.

The Growing Need for Functional Medicine in Addressing Autoimmune and Chronic Disease:

The Nurse Practitioners who buy my book (The Nurse Practitioners’ Guide to Autoimmune Medicine) and join my courses tell me they have seen a sharp increase in autoimmune and chronic disease as well as a sharp increase in the multi-organ and immune system issues that proceed them.

Recent studies suggest that nearly 1 in 3 Americans live with an autoimmune or chronic disease; alarmingly, it’s a number that’s on the rise.

Coupled with chronic disease being responsible for 7 out of 10 deaths each year in the U.S., we need a transformative approach. Autoimmune Functional Medicine offers that solution as new data continues to show that chronic conditions often have an autoimmune component.

Working as a Nurse Practitioner with an Autoimmune Disease

Navigating the healthcare industry, particularly as a Nurse Practitioner, often has unique challenges. These challenges amplify when you or a close family member grapple with an autoimmune or chronic condition. Recently, I spoke at the Arizona Nurse Practitioner’s Annual Symposium. I was shocked (but not surprised) that almost every NP I spoke with had at least one autoimmune disease.

Nurse Practitioner Burnout is a Serious Issue

Burnout is real. The long hours, the emotional toll of seeing patient after patient without witnessing significant improvements, can be exhausting. And when battling an autoimmune disease, this exhaustion isn’t just emotional – it’s physical. There’s a poignant irony in giving your all to help others, while your body wages a war against itself. Yet, this is the reality for countless Nurse Practitioners today.

Failing to address the root cause of autoimmune conditions isn’t just an oversight; it’s a significant barrier to providing effective care. And not only to patients but to oneself. The ripple effect of this oversight touches every aspect of life, from strained relationships due to constant fatigue and irritability to missing out on precious moments with family and children.

But there’s a silver lining. The Autoimmune Functional Medicine approach isn’t just about treating symptoms; it’s about reversing them at the root. If you are a Nurse Practitioner dealing with autoimmune conditions, this means a chance at a better life, both professionally and personally.

By diving deep into the underlying causes, we don’t just put a bandage on the symptoms; we aim to eliminate them. This method not only brings relief to the patients but also ensures that, as an NP, you’re operating at your optimal capacity. This energy and vitality enable you to be present, not just at work but at home, with your family, children, and in every sphere of life.

Imagine a world where you can practice medicine with all your might, without the shadow of an autoimmune disease looming large. This is what the Autoimmune Functional Medicine approach promises. A world where healthcare professionals aren’t just caregivers but are cared for. It’s not just about medicine; it’s about a holistic way of life. And as a Nurse Practitioner, you can be at the heart of this revolution.

My free masterclass provides protocols you can use immediately to start reversing your autoimmune and chronic conditions.

How to Become an Autoimmune Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner Specializing in Reversing & Preventing Autoimmune and Chronic Disease

I’ve created a certified functional medicine nurse practitioner program with 8 CEUs/CMEs, called the Autoimmune: PARADIGM designed to guide Nurse Practitioners the fundamental techniques and interventions crucial for reversing and preventing autoimmune and chronic disease. It combines the years of education and experience you already have, and fills in the gaps to provide the best in root cause autoimmune care.

The Autoimmune PARADIGM Expert’s Program is designated for 8 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ to give you 8 ANCC Contact hours and both the ANCC and AANP accept ANCC Contact hours. Note: “Contact Hours” is the new term that replaces the term CEUs.

Your Nurse Practitioner education has set a strong foundation. Building on that, the Autoimmune: PARADIGM program integrates what you’ve already learned with the pivotal aspects of Autoimmune Functional Medicine to be an expert in offering autoimmune care. We delve deep into addressing the root causes of autoimmunity, ensuring you master the basics and beyond. Together, we’ll equip you to expertly address multi-organ system health challenges and chronic and autoimmune diseases with confidence. No matter who walks into your office, you’ll be equipped to help them. It’s an incredible feeling and definitely cures burnout!

Because autoimmune care has been my focus for the past 20 years, I’ve distilled the fundamentals into about 10 hours of video content. Just 10 hours to learn the autoimmune care fundamentals to reverse and prevent autoimmune and chronic disease. Sounds incredible – right? It is! NPs who buy my book and take my course, tell me they are able to immediately implement learnings.

For the first part of my Functional Medicine journey, I spent a lot of time chasing individual symptoms. Then I learned that 80% to 90% of the issues will heal themselves if I focus on the central 10% to 20%.

When you understand how to address the central mechanisms of our incredibly intelligent bodies, the immune system is built for balance, it begins to do its job and takes care of 80% to 90% without any special focus.

This knowledge will save you and your patients an immense amount of time. It will also allow you to get up to speed very quickly to start creating health transformations in your life, your family, and your patients.
