A self-paced online SPE hours program with expert mentorship

A Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) license is the most advanced certification offered by the American Nutrition Association (ANA) for personalized nutrition practitioners. To receive this highly respected professional credential, CNS candidates are required to complete 100+ hours of rigorous scientific functional medicine education, pass the CNS exam, and earn 1,000 hours of Supervised Practice Experience (SPE).

In other words, you need experience working with real patients and observing real cases under the guidance of a BCNS-approved supervisor.

This unique program combines our landmark Clinician’s Code™ Foundation Professional Certificate with the support and mentorship of world-class supervisors, enabling you to meet your SPE hours goals as you learn.

The Clinician’s Code Foundation Professional Certificate, tailored for CNS candidates

In this special version of the program designed for CNS candidates, we also offer a tailored supervised practice hours component.

Bryan and Julie Walsh through case studies and the amazing information in their online courses has provided me with the tools to become a great practitioner who isn't just giving standard protocols for a condition, but instead understands how to help each client with their bio-individual issues."

Who is behind Metabolic Fitness? 

And how do we solve the biggest problem facing functional medicine practitioners today?

We’re Drs. Bryan and Julie Walsh. After graduating from medical school, we struggled big time. We thought the solution was to attend seminars, listen to the "gurus,” and hire marketers and business coaches… but it turned out that none of that was what we really needed.

We’ve taken everything we’ve learned in our collective 40 years of experience in the healthcare industry and created the Clinician's Code™ Foundation Professional Certificate to support you in building the successful functional medicine practice you’ve always wanted. 
Instructors and mentors drs Bryan and Julie Walsh

Meet the founders

Course instructor and mentor Dr Bryan Walsh sits at his desk, smiling at the camera.
Dr. Bryan Walsh
Co-Founder & CMO of Metabolic Fitness

Dr. Walsh has been studying human physiology and nutrition for over 25 years and has been educating others in health for 20 of those years. When he isn’t teaching, he spends his time pouring over the latest research and synthesizing his findings into practical, informative content for clinicians to use in practice.

Dr. Walsh is best known for his expertise in biochemistry and human physiology, which allows him to (happily) dismantle the myths and misconceptions in the functional medicine industry and replace them with facts. His work is often described as the “education you always wanted, but never received."

Fun fact: Dr. Bryan developed the industry's first evidence-based optimal reference ranges.
Course instructor and mentor Dr Julie Walsh smiling at the camera.
Dr. Julie Walsh
Co-Founder & CEO of Metabolic Fitness

Dr. Julie Walsh, while formerly trained in Naturopathic Medicine, quickly realized that without a solid understanding of business and marketing, the practice was never going to become a sustainable, profitable business. After recognizing there is as much misinformation in the business and marketing space as there is in the functional medicine space she knew what she had to do – become an expert at how to run a practice like a business. While she thinks it’s tacky to wave around bank balances and dollar amounts, let’s just say she took Metabolic Fitness from nothing to something beyond what she ever dreamed. Now, she shares everything she knows with clinicians looking to do the same.  


Fun fact: Dr. Julie does all of this while raising six amazing children.

Good news!

There's a better, smarter way

Clinician's code stock photo of two women engaged in learning functional medicine

You don't have to use protocols because someone else told you to — you can think through any case that walks through your door, with confidence.

You don't have to prescribe mountains of supplements — you can develop the know-how to identify which supplements are going to best help your patients.

You don't have to struggle alone or hire an expensive business coach to build a successful practice — you can build a reliable system for generating income while still providing a high-quality service to your patients.

You don't have to perform on social media every day and pretend to like it — you can build a sophisticated business that is authentic, intentional, and representative of your values and mission.

You don't have to run thousands of dollars in functional medicine tests to give your patients answers — you can become highly adept at discerning which tests they need and which tests they don't.

Business coaching that improves profits

It’s hard to build a successful and profitable practice when you don’t know how to run a business. As you’ve likely already learned, your business is nothing without patients. 

That's why we don't just teach you what to do once the patients are in your office, we teach you how to get them in the door.

In our value-added group coaching sessions, we’ll help you identify your niche, clarify your offering (and profit strategy), and define your brand and messaging strategy to tell your story and build a successful healthcare business.

How is the Clinician’s Code™ Foundation Professional Certificate and SPE Hours Program delivered?

Our self-paced courses comprise engaging video-based lessons punctuated by revision activities that serve to reinforce your learning.

Right now, the investment to enroll in this rigorous, high-touch 6-month curriculum is $5,900. This price will go up, so now is a great time to hop in. 

I’m so busy already. What if I can’t make the calls live? Will the program still be worth it for me?

Every aspect of Clinician’s Code™ Foundation Professional Certificate and SPE Hours Program has been designed with the busy clinician in mind. 

  • All-access content allows you to log in and learn any time you want. 
  • Daily forum support allows you to post questions whenever you need to.
  • You can submit questions in advance of all of our Q&A calls, which are answered live and recorded, so you can go back and watch all or part of calls when it’s convenient for you.

How much time do I need to dedicate to this program?

Can you spare an hour a day, perhaps by giving up a TV show or social media scroll time? You’d be surprised how much free time most of us have in a day when we build our schedule with intention — that's something we teach too!

What if I have already taken some of the included courses?

Great! You'll have a head start. You'll be amazed at how the addition of our personalized support and on-demand mentorship — the highest value part of this program — catapults your learning and success. 

We are by your side, every day of the program, answering all the questions that you have, helping you work through the nuances of your own cases, and providing strategy for your business. 

In the Clinician's Code™ CNS Supervision Program, we provide granular support on anything you are working on through our live monthly Q&A sessions and exclusive community forum with direct access to Drs. Bryan and Julie. This is the gold you are paying for and will not find anywhere else. 

When is the right time to do this professional certificate program? 

Honestly… now.

There are more people than ever before looking for answers about their health. They’re searching (often desperately) for competent practitioners to help them.
At the same time, the number of practitioners grows daily (translation: your competition isn’t getting any smaller).

Each day that passes is another day that:

  • Patients are finding another professional to help them with their goals.
  • You aren’t getting answers to the questions you have about your current cases that you’re stuck on.
  • The lack of systems in your practice is leaving you overworked and underpaid.
  • The burnout and frustration continue to grow as you continually search for answers through Google, the seminar circuit, and countless podcasts.

I already have a PracticeUP subscription. Do I have to keep paying for PracticeUP if I join the Clinician’s Code™ Foundation Professional Certificate and SPE Hours Program?

If you enroll and already have a PracticeUP membership, you won’t need to pay for your PracticeUP subscription separately as it’s included in the Clinician’s Code™ Foundation Professional Certificate curriculum. Once you purchase the Clinician’s Code™ Foundation Professional Certificate, you can cancel your subscription and you'll retain access to PracticeUP for the duration of the Certificate Program.
