Join the 8-Week TrainingWhat You'll Learn
Many practitioners order advanced nutrient analysis testing but never receive formal training on how to interpret the patterns.
As a result, they may identify individual deficiencies while missing the larger biochemical story unfolding in front of them.
This training is designed to help you move beyond isolated markers and develop a systematic approach to identifying the nutrient insufficiencies, metabolic dysfunctions, and physiological imbalances contributing to your clients' symptoms.
By mastering the ION Nutrient Analysis panel, you'll learn how to identify the biochemical patterns that commonly contribute to:
Anxiety, Insomnia, and Mood Disorders
Discover the amino acids, B-vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and oxidative stress markers that frequently influence neurotransmitter production, stress resilience, and sleep quality. Learn practical strategies for restoring balance through targeted nutrition and supplementation.
Fatigue, Low Energy, and Depression
Learn how to interpret mitochondrial and metabolic markers that may help explain why a patient's brain and body are struggling to produce energy efficiently. You'll develop a framework for identifying potential nutrient insufficiencies that contribute to fatigue and impaired cellular function.
Gut Dysbiosis and Intestinal Repair
The ION panel often provides important clues about digestive dysfunction, nutrient malabsorption, and intestinal barrier integrity. Learn how nutrient analysis can complement stool testing and other assessments to support gut healing strategies.
Methylation Beyond MTHFR
Move beyond genetic speculation and learn how to evaluate real-world methylation function using clinically relevant nutrient and metabolic markers. Understand how homocysteine, folate status, B12 status, amino acid patterns, and related markers can guide clinical decision-making.
Oxidative Stress and Detoxification
Learn how to recognize oxidative stress patterns, glutathione depletion, detoxification challenges, and nutrient demands associated with environmental exposures, chronic illness, and medication use.
Clinical Pattern Recognition
The true value of nutrient analysis lies in recognizing patterns rather than focusing on isolated markers. Through real clinical case studies, you'll learn how to connect symptoms, physiology, and laboratory findings to build more personalized nutrition and supplementation plans.Â
Rather than asking, "Which supplement should I use?" you'll learn to ask, "What physiological process is struggling, and why?"
That shift in thinking is often the difference between temporary symptom management and meaningful clinical progress.

Meet Your Mentor
I'm Tom Malterre
I discovered nutritional biochemistry at age 10 and have passionately pursued it ever since. With two degrees in nutritional sciences and extensive teaching experience at institutions like the Institute for Functional Medicine and Autism Research Institute, I've gone on to work for some of the top companies in the Functional Medicine supplement, gene analysis, and microbe analysis space. I've been mentored by leading specialists in gastroenterology, neurology, and microbiology, as well as authored the bestselling book "The Elimination Diet." I began learning advanced nutrient analysis 23 years ago from the founding biochemists that invented the original test panel, and have been teaching lab analysis online for the last 8 years. I truly believe that chemical imbalances are behind ALL diseases and disorders. And what are the chemicals that need to be rebalanced? Nutrients! Once you master nutrient chemistry, your practice and your life will never look the same.Â
"Tom’s Functional Medicine Training was profound, accessible, and deeply insightful. Highly recommended!"
