Description

This 25-hour intensive board review course, taught by Dr. David Clark, provides clinicians with a comprehensive and practical overview of clinical neurochemistry and nutrition. Designed for candidates preparing for the FABNN certification exam and for diplomates maintaining ACNB/ACFN credentials, the course offers an in-depth review of neuron physiology, neurotransmission, blood chemistry interpretation, mitochondrial function, gastrointestinal health, glucose regulation, autoimmunity, and neurodegenerative disorders. Emphasis is placed on real-world clinical application through case studies, lab interpretation, treatment protocols, and patient management strategies.

What you’ll learn:

  • Review neuron physiology, neurotransmitter systems, glial cell function, and brain energy metabolism.
  • Interpret blood chemistry panels and laboratory markers critical for diagnosing metabolic and neurological dysfunctions.
  • Apply clinical strategies for managing conditions such as anemia, diabetes, autoimmunity, and neurodegeneration.
  • Develop nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle protocols to support neurological and systemic health.
