“This program changed my life. I came into the IAFHH FHS Certification Program with basic knowledge of functional women's health, but I didn't even know how little I knew about my own body until the class started. Ashe is incredibly kind, brilliant, and warm; and this makes for a space that is inviting, open, and where we can grow in whatever direction we most need to be the best practitioners we can be. I can't imagine my life or my practice without the knowledge and experience I gained in this program - from the bottom of my heart, thank you, Ashe, and I can't recommend this program enough.”

What Our Graduates Are Saying
“I'm a fertility awareness educator particularly interested in helping women to use their cycle charts to inform their health decisions. I joined this program because I wanted to learn more about nutrition and gut health, and how that relates to female hormones. Ashe's course was a wonderful supplement to my previous education. I've learned information that has helped to improve my own health as well as family members'. The sense of community that quickly developed among the group members was also really nice. I now have a network of colleagues to talk to and collaborate with in the area of reproductive health. Overall, the experience was a positive one and I look forward to modifying and improving my own work with clients in the area of health and nutrition.”

“I've really enjoyed studying for and completing the IAFHH FHS certification program. I run an online women's hormone health clinic and having successfully helped hundreds of women return to vibrant health using a functional, holistic approach, I can tell you that Ashe's program stands on solid academic and practical foundations. The course is well-structured, easy to comprehend and build upon and the material comes with a lot of research references. In my opinion, this last feature is one that can keep on giving, if you are the kind of student who knows how to go back to the research references and glean practical gems from them too! I would suggest this course to anyone in functional medicine who is truly interested in optimising their clients hormonal health.”

“Working with Ashe in the IAFHH FHS Certification Program was one of my best decisions. I had been searching for a program that provides a deeper dive into women's hormones and period health and this program came at exactly the right time. The material was thorough, yet easy to get through. The live calls were extremely beneficial. And the program, itself, felt manageable and not overwhelming. My favorite part, however, has been the friendships formed and the support of like-minded colleagues.”

“Before I joined the IAFHH Functional Hormone Specialist Certification program, I could give you an overview of women's hormones but I didn't feel confident to go in depth with clients on their hormonal issues. Since finishing the course, I feel like my knowledge base has grown so much and I'm exciting to use what I've learned in helping women optimize their hormones and their fertility through functional nutrition.”

Each module includes 3-5 lessons, with each lesson lasting 30-70 minutes. On average, a module contains 3-5 hours of lecture material, plus transcripts, worksheets, and additional resources.
Most students spend approximately 4-6 hours per week on the program, over the course of 4-6 months, depending on their learning pace and prior experience. This includes watching lectures, completing exercises, and reviewing supplementary materials.
In general, the program is delivered to meet both beginner and advanced-level individuals, and we have had students join us from many different fields and backgrounds including medicine, nutrition, chiropractic, herbalism, fertility awareness education, birth work, health coaching, and even just aspiring learners.
Although, please note that our course is quite complex, so having some previous background in nutrition, anatomy & physiology, and general women's health topics will help you to better comprehend the depth of the program. However, if you do not, that doesn't have to be a limitation. We have intentionally broken down the material as comprehensively as possible and also provide additional support and mentorship options if needed to support your study and retention of the material. If you feel confident in your research & study abilities and understanding of hormonal health physiology, we are sure you will do just fine.

This program is designed to provide you with not only the information & research about women's reproductive and hormonal health topics, but also the tools you need to be able to apply what you learn in your practice so you can help your clients achieve real & lasting results.
Throughout the program we outline how certain hormone imbalances & reproductive health conditions connect back to the foundations of health - nutrition, digestion, blood sugar, detoxification, etc. so that you can clearly understand how to support your client's health concerns from a functional, holistic approach.
This program is NOT going to provide you with "cookie-cutter" protocols to use in your practice. Rather, we are training you on how to take a step back and approach your client's health from the big-picture-perspective through evaluating their nutrition, lifestyle habits and functional test results.
Your enrollment comes with a complimentary one-year membership subscription to The Proficient Practitioner Hub — an exclusive platform for IAFHH students and the community. Here, you can stay informed with crucial updates, forge connections within a robust peer community, seek guidance on program material, explore supplementary continuing education and business-building resources, and benefit from direct mentorship and support from the IAFHH team via monthly group mentorship and Q&A calls, quarterly trainings, and guest expert presentations.

Gain personalized insights, guidance, and clarification on specific topics related to the program, your business and practice development journey, or how to navigate a complex client case. These mentorship sessions with Ashe or Sarah can be purchased individually to further tailor your educational journey within The Proficient Practitioner Hub.
For additional support, you will also receive access to the IAFHH Community Facebook Group, a peer-led space for IAFHH students and community members to foster connections, share insights, engage in collaborative discussions, and receive valuable support on your journey to becoming an IAFHH Certified Functional Hormone Specialist.

To ensure an optimal learning experience and timely completion of the course, we have implemented a 12-month completion period. As long as you complete the course within this timeframe, you will not be subject to any additional fees to regain access to the materials.
However, if the 12-month period elapses and you have not yet completed the course, your access to the program materials will be revoked. In such cases, to regain access and continue your progress in the course, you will need to pay a $497 reinstatement fee.

It is an open book test to help you refine your referencing abilities of the course materials, as well as testing you on what information you've retained and may need to review. Then, the 2nd part is a written interpretation of a DUTCH Plus case study that is personally reviewed and graded by the IAFHH team. You will be granted 2 attempts for the case study within your exam window - which is available to you for up to 12 months from your enrollment date.
Whether you're just starting out or already established, this program will teach you how to integrate functional hormone expertise into your practice, streamline your client processes, and attract women looking for compassionate, evidence-based support for their hormone and reproductive health.
