Cindy’s 8-System Biology course is a recorded course with a very dense toolkit and reference files. Learn at your own pace. This course has been approved by the Commission of Dietetics for 70 CPEUs.
It includes a “brush up” of key anatomy and physiology principles of eight systems. Essentially, a road map about how the body works— focused on nutrition. Revisiting anatomy and physiology and certain key complexities of these systems will enable your critical thinking about getting to that root cause of disease.
Plus, Three Bonus Modules
Fasting and Systems Biology
Taking A Comprehensive Medical History via the systems
Case Study Pearls
A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO HEALTH AND DISEASE
The following paired systems have also been approved for CPEs.
Digestive/Cardiovascular 20 CPEs
Respiratory/Urinary 16 CPEs
Immune/Endocrine 16 CPEs
Brain/Nervous/Musculoskeletal 16 CPEs
Fasting 2 CPEs

Testimonials
I had been a conventionally trained Registered Dietitian for a number of years and through my own health journey became convinced of the benefit of getting to the root cause for optimal health. I wanted to understand how to cultivate healthy functioning through nutrition but after completing several modules in another integrative/functional nutrition training program, I was struggling to hold all the new information together and have a working knowledge I could apply to patient care.
Cindy’s Systems Biology and Functional Nutrition course provided me with exactly what I needed: a framework to understand the body as a working unit as nutrition impacts the whole body. I had a lens /system to think through and problem solve the situation for each patient to utilize what I knew and the new frameworks to become a detective to find what works for my patients and go to the research myself when I needed to..
I completed the course over several months while I worked fulltime picking up the course when I had a break in patient care. She uses different modalities to facilitate learning and have things “stick”. I saved several thousands of dollars by completing Cindy’s course by not feeling I needed to complete additional modules of further training to have the learning I needed to practice as a functional dietitian.

“The extensive review of medical publications alone is a daunting task; organizing them into a program that seamlessly flows, as demonstrated here, is notable. I professionally appreciate the level of expertise and the amount of time that it took Cindy to deliver such an exceptional program. Cindy has taken the extraordinary complexities of the body, condensed them, and concisely integrated them into a comprehensive program that has been thoroughly researched.”
Sophia Kamveris, MS, RD, LDN
“The contents of this course is evidence-based and well referenced. Cindy identifies & describes structure & function of eight systems with expertise & depth of knowledge that comes from years of clinical experience & practice. The course applies nutritional biochemistry within each system with an understanding of digestion, absorption & utilization of nutrients within a healthy system and within disease states.”
Melissa Snow, MS, RDN, LDN
“The information is very clearly presented at an appropriate level for a dietitian. Very organized and thorough with good flow. Really appreciated the Key Takeaways at the end of each section. Presents very scientifically valid information. I truly appreciated the depth of the course and bonus materials.”
Michelle Tasker, RDN, LDN, CLT
“I highly recommend this comprehensive, evidence-based overview of nutrition and systems. The format connects the important aspects of physiology, biometrics and food/supplements. I am hopeful a systems approach becomes standard in practice in the future.”
