MAKE BIGGER IMPACT

We’re on a mission to change the stats.

FNPI is a functional nutrition certification program. We have work to do today as a practitioner community. 6 in 10 adults in the U.S have a chronic disease. 4 in 10 adults have 2 or more. America’s health care system isn’t working. Period. Medications on medications that cause new side effects and don’t address the root cause? no thank you. There’s a better way. A functional medicine, root cause approach kinda way.

    Prior to going through FNPI, I felt like I was spinning my wheels in my business. I was juggling being a mom with trying to run a business, but I was not giving my business the energy that it deserved or needed to truly grow. After FNPI, I feel so much more confident in my knowledge base, my ability to help my clients dig deeper into their health issues and get to the bottom of what has been holding them back, and my business runs seamlessly for both me and my clients. I have so much more confidence in my ability to sell my packages and in the value that I bring!

  • “FNPI gave me the plan and answers i needed to finally grow my business and get clients! FNPI gets 5 stars from me!”

    Prior to FNPI I felt completely lost in the world of private practice. I dove right into entrepreneurship right after grad school and I spent weeks stalking other peoples Instagram's trying to study marketing and sales strategies, how they booked sales calls, how other RDNs websites looked, etc. I overwhelmed myself - but I knew I could get there with the right mentor and guidance. I've been given all the tips and tricks to grow my business - not answers. FNPI gave me the plan and answers I needed to finally grow my business and get clients! FNPI gets 5 stars from me!

  • “FNPI was everything i was looking for! hands down one of the best investments i've made in a long time.”

    Before FNPI, I was trying to piece together everything... and was feeling overwhelmed and lost. I didn't have good systems in place to run my business was was fumbling to find educational resources for my clients. FNPI was everything I was looking for! Hands down one of the best investments I've made in a long time. This is the only program I have seen that has both the practice and the business side of functional nutrition all in one place!

  • "FNPI gave me the confidence to increase my prices and sell!"

    I think every RD in private practice should have the tools and resources that Robyn shares in FNPI! I had already taken courses in functional medicine, but learning from someone who knows how to run a successful practice felt extra valuable. Not to mention, my money mindset has totally changed! FNPI gave me the confidence to increase my prices and sell! The proof is in my revenue which increased by 4x in the first month and then I more than doubled that in the 3rd month!

MEET THE FOUNDER OF FNPI

Hi, I’m Robyn Spangler

Robyn is a Functional Dietitian Nutritionist and has built multiple businesses within the functional space including her 1-1 practice, The Clear Skin lab, FNPI and her mineral product line, Rayvi.

Her journey of addressing the root cause of her psoriasis & period problems changed her life and led her down this career path. It wasn’t her Nutrition & Dietetics degree that gave her the tools though. While her Bachelors, Masters and Dietetic internship provided valuable education, it wasn’t exactly the root cause lens she was after. To seek additional functional training, she applied and was accepted as one of the first students to complete the Integrative & Functional Dietetics mentorship program at Kansas University Medical Center. One of the first programs of its kind in the country at the time. From there, she went on to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars to continue her education in the root cause medicine space.

ROBYN HAS CONTINUED TO BUILD HER EXPERTISE THROUGH

Section Styles full-width

  • Contributing interviews for documentary series

  • Contributing content for online programs

  • Completing additional certifications and online programs

  • Attending yearly medical conferences

  • Writing blogs for various brands… and more!

  • Working with clients one-on-one

  • Speaking at professional conferences

  • Co-authoring a chapter in the Integrative and

  • Functional Medical Nutrition Therapy textbook

  • Interviewing for numerous podcasts

AFTER A DECADE OF HELPING CLIENTS TRANSFORM THEIR HEALTH AND PROVIDING MENTORSHIP CALLS WITH OTHER PRACTITIONERS, ROBYN KNEW SHE HAD TO MAKE FUNCTIONAL TRAININGS WITH EXPERT MENTORSHIP ACCESSIBLE.

A comprehensive, application focused program that encompassed both business and functional clinical training. Something she desperately needed when she started her career. This is how FNPI was born.

GOT A BURNING QUESTION? check these first

  • The ideal professional for this program has foundational nutrition education/training. This program is not a Nutrition 101 program. You will get the most out of this program if you are actively seeing clients or plan to ASAP.

    Prerequisites:

    1. You are a healthcare practitioner (see additional qualifications below)

    Healthcare Practitioner Qualifications:

    1. Dietitians & Nutrition professionals (ie. CNS, NTP) - automatically qualify

    2. Non-Nutrition Practitioners (chiropractors, Physicians Assistant, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, acupuncturist, Physical Therapists): we recommend prior Nutrition 101 education or deep self study.

    We currently do not accept Health coaches inside FNPI.

  • Members of the Clinical Mastery Track will receive 12 weeks of access to our private, member only chat space. Members can post 2 case studies per month and 8 clinical questions. Our team replies and provides case feedback within 48 business hours.

    After the initial 12 weeks, you will automatically be enrolled to a month-to-membership for ongoing clinical mentorship from our team at $997/month. You can cancel at any time (we make it very easy to do). Regardless, you keep access to the modules for the lifetime of the program.

  • Short answer is yes. If you qualify for FNPI, you can order labs. Lab ordering ability varies by specific lab companies, licensure & country/state laws so the route may vary based on those details.

    Depending on your training & location, you may be able to start ordering labs already & directly with the companies.

    Others can utilize the partnership we have with a 3rd party company (with a cosigner). We’ll show you how to do this inside FNPI.

  • We cover interpretation & application of DUTCH test, iodine, GI MAP, HTMA, mold, food sensitivity testing and many, many blood chemistry labs. Additionally, you’ll know how to identify the need for labs and how to use symptoms and history to guide you first. You can see the full Clinical Mastery Curriculum here.

  • Yes. We’ve had the following graduate from FNPI: dietitians, Nurse practitioners, Nurses, Physicians Assistants, Nutritionists, FDN graduates, CNS’s & Health coaches.

  • There are no regularly scheduled live calls.

  • Yep! If you purchase the business track, you can postpone the timing of your audit. We require the audit be used within 3 months of purchasing the business track.

  • This program is entirely online and can be done at your own time.

    You can absolutely get through the trainings in 2-3 months but the trainings are best applied with using alongside client cases. You have lifetime access to the clinical trainings and we encourage using them or re-reviewing them as you're working through client cases! You will have access to our clinical team via the private chat portal for 3 months which begins upon purchase.

  • Nope! While we do discuss lab use and interpretation in the clinical track, this program is about the big picture and we put a massive emphasis on clinical application. Labs are only part of the story but you can do a lot without them. You’ll graduate this program with more confidence in supporting a client from start to finish.

  • Short answer - yes. Long answer - there are some challenges with lab ordering in NY. Some lab companies will not approve account requests for NY based practitioners (eye roll, I know). We discuss alternative options for you inside FNPI. The good news is, with the right connections & information, you can still get your clients the lab data they need.

  • Our Dietitian members have been able to get 13 CEU’s approved (we teach you how to enter into your CDR log to improve chances of approval). This would depend on your field & board regulations. We can’t guarantee approval for all types of practitioners.

  • Yes! You can choose to only do clinical or business track. You can also bundle them together! Choose your track here.

  • Yes! We have a team plan which gives your team member access to the clinical trainings plus their own login for case & question support from our clinical team. You can view the team plan here.
