“Dicken, I want to give out a big shout out—your mastery course in functional blood chemistry analysis is great! The 16 week format is doable for everyone. (If I can do it anyone can.)”
Steve EdlingDoctor of Chiropractic
“The FBCA Mastery Training empowers the practitioner with the skills required to recognize numerous patterns and trends within the various systems of the body, enabling one to prioritize their focus. The Optimal Dx software and Functional Health Report is an indispensable, time-saving, educational tool, not only for practitioners but for patients as well!”
L. Humphrey, DNMilton, Ontario CANADA
“The ODX Blood Chemistry course with the certification option was hands down one of the best courses that I have ever taken. I have over 16 certifications and counting and this was top 3 hands down. It packs so much applicable information into 12 weeks that by the time that you are done, it will significantly elevate your blood chemistry analysis skills. Dr. Weatherby's blood chemistry course is broken down nicely as it focuses on fundamentals and it even gets into some pretty advanced topics that are all related to the types of health conditions that practitioners are going to see in today's world and the types of conditions that are not going anywhere any time soon. This course is a great way to fast-track your skills when it comes to scanning blood chemistry and finding healing opportunities and once that takes place then that will also allow practitioners to offer a higher level of care to their clients.”
Travis ZiperHuntington Beach, CA

Continuing Education Credits (CEU) Information
We are honored by the diverse interest in our online training programs from a wide range of professionals, including MDs, DCs, DOs, NDs, NPs, nutritionists, dieticians, and more. We understand the importance of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) in maintaining and enhancing professional competence. However, due to the complexity and the constantly evolving standards for CEU accreditation across the various disciplines, we are currently unable to directly offer CEUs for our training programs. Ensuring compliance and relevance for all the different groups we serve presents significant challenges.
Despite this, we are pleased to provide participants with a certificate upon completion of the program, which verifies the number of hours taken and includes a detailed breakdown of the program content. This certificate can be submitted to your respective professional board for possible CEU consideration. While we cannot guarantee acceptance, this documentation may assist in meeting your continuing education requirements.
We are committed to providing high-quality, impactful education and are exploring ways to support your continuing education needs in the future. In the meantime, we encourage you to review the learning objectives and content of our programs to determine if they meet your personal and professional development needs.
