The Practitioner Mastery Paradigm
The Practitioner Mastery Paradigm has 8 prongs that interconnect and influence each other, just like the systems within the body. You need all 8 to be a true Functional Nutrition Master, and you’ve made great strides already!
You learned the first levels of Empathy and Leadership in Reframe.
Then we dove into Nutrition Skills, Symbiosis, and Anatomy & Physiology in Full Body Systems. Plus we added Problem Solving into your prowess, along with the Art of Counseling.
The next deep dive is to become so proficient with the Functional tools and systems that it will seem like answers just appear for you. Your intuition as a master practitioner will be awakened. Dots will seem to connect themselves. New ways of looking at problems and cases will become natural to you.
Because of this, you’ll have unshakable confidence that you can handle whatever comes your way. You’ll also know that you can put yourself out there—for speaking engagements, partnerships with physicians, and more.
This is mastery.
