Gain a comprehensive understanding of the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the digestive system and deepen your knowledge of the intricate processes involved in digestion and gastrointestinal health.
The digestive tract is where everything begins and everything ends. It’s where we break down, absorb, and assimilate food that becomes the components that fuel the cells of the body. Proper digestion, absorption, and assimilation is vital to total optimal health.

“Josh is by far one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. His knowledge and desire to truly teach his students is second to none. He has an amazing way of breaking down complex information so that it is palatable to everyone. Josh is helpful, patient and pretty funny too. I’ll definitely be taking more classes with him in the future.”
NUTRITIONIST
“Josh’s Advanced Clinical Focus: Digestion and GI course is an exceptional and comprehensive offering. His deep understanding of the human body, and rigorous research provided so much insight. IBD in particular is a bit of black hole in western medicine, so the guidance Josh offers about diet and botanicals is especially welcome. One day this approach will be mainstream and the suffering people experience from digestive issues will plummet – until then, this course is really an oasis for GI-based wellbeing.
Thank you Josh!”

Josh Gitalis Ba(H), CNP, IFMCP
Clinical Nutritionist and Functional Medicine Practitioner
With over 15 years of experience as a clinical nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner, I have dedicated my career to uncovering the origins of disease and developing transformative healing protocols. I firmly believe that the key to unlocking your potential as a practitioner lies in the combination of hands-on experience coupled with continued education.
As an educator, I am passionate about working with health practitioners and clinicians, equipping them with the knowledge and tools they need to understand the root causes of illness and discover effective upstream solutions for acieving their health goals.
My approach to protocol design goes beyond telling my client what to do, I prioritize explaining the "why" behind each recommendation and how it uniquely impacts the body. This is what fosters a therapeutic relationship and invites my clients to re-claim responsibility for their own health outcomes.
Through my Functional Nutrition Certification Program and courses, I empower practitioners to delve deeper, bridging the gap between research and clinical practice to achieve exceptional results with their clients.

“Josh breaks down complicated health concepts into easy to digest information. He is generous with his resources and knowledge, making his courses useful for both consumers and other health/nutrition professionals. Definitely good value to invest both time and money in one of his education seminars. You’ll come out the other side more knowledgeable and more motivated’.
