Super excited about the show with my friends! Integrative Nurse Practitioner Melanie Dorion and Dr. Robert Abbot about their functional medicine training platform Pentad Integrative Health. They recently released their first module on digestive health and we give a nice overview about the way they plan to train future practitioners.
They are kindly offering a scholarship open to Naturopathic Students to get their first module for free! So, if you are an ND student stick around until the end of the episode to take advantage of this opportunity!
Finally, I have some great news! I was selected to present at PFX for the second year in a row! If you haven’t got your tickets click on the link below! I can’t wait to see you in Austin!
