This episode brings host Jamie Belz and fellow FNTP, Thomas Gilliford together for a very real conversation about food and wellness. They dive into all things from the perspective of thriving within the navigational beacons of the aggressive pursuit of optimal wellness and setting realistic expectations for functionality and quality of life.
Thomas covers his newly developed FCA (Functional Clinical Assessment) Program available to NTPs who desire to add the “F” on the front of their credential to make them FNTPs (Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners).
