 Our mission is to help you develop the skills to work confidently with complex client cases and provide more comprehensive functional nutrition advice.


Our Short Story

Lorene Sauro has been a Certified Functional Nutrition Practitioner for over 25 years and a food industry professional for more than 30. Like many of you, my path began with personal health challenges that conventional approaches couldn’t resolve.


That experience led me to explore the root causes of chronic conditions—starting with digestion and gut health—and ultimately to a lifelong commitment to advancing the practice of holistic nutrition.


Since graduating from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition in 1999, I’ve worked with clients to help them find practical, food-based solutions that support long-term well-being. But just as importantly, I’ve dedicated much of my career to supporting fellow practitioners—offering education, mentorship, and tools that make it easier to translate evolving research into real-world results.



I’ve taught hundreds of holistic wellness professionals for over 2 1/2 decades and co-founded key professional initiatives, including the Canadian Holistic Nutrition Conference and CAHN-Pro.


I’ve also developed functional nutrition training programs to help our profession remain grounded in sound science, practical thinking, and a collaborative spirit.

We have a unique opportunity to support real change—but only if we’re equipped with clear, credible, and client-ready information. That’s why I do what I do.

Frequently Asked Questions

See some common questions and answers below, or call us at 555 555-5555. 

  • What are our programs about?


  • Who are the programs for?

    They're designed as upgrading programs (CEUs included)for all wellness practitioners, including health coaches, holistic and functional nutritionists, holistic nurses, fitness trainers, and any other practitioners seeking a more functional nutrition and foundational approach to helping their clients and patients.


    If you’re a practitioner who wants more food, supplements, and lifestyle options for clients to enjoy, then these programs are for you. 

  • How do our Functional Nutrition programs differ from other upgrading programs?

    It’s based on the latest functional nutrition research and the connection to the rest of the body. Lorene is not teaching what she has been taught. She is sharing what she has learned from reading the research for herself and from her own experiences working with hundreds of clients and colleagues.


    You will be part of a like-minded community that shares its knowledge and supports you. Information about immunity, liver function, microbiome health, and hormone balance is constantly evolving. It all ties together for longevity. These programs are regularly updated to reflect the latest research, helping you stay current and providing answers to clients’ puzzling issues.  


    We also address complex issues, such as food restrictions. You’ll learn why a client may react to certain foods and what caused it. If you question blaming whole foods for gut or health issues, this program shows you why food isn’t the culprit—and how to uncover the real cause step-by-step for better client outcomes.

  • What is the format for the programs?

    The programs consist of a series of modules, each including video lessons, PDF slide handouts, a quiz for continuing education units (CEUs), and client-ready tools. 


    You’ll get a certificate and badge upon completion (by request). Support includes bi-monthly live meetings, access to a private Facebook group, and direct email access to Lorene. You can do it at your own pace. Also includes special invitations to other live webinar events.
