THE INVESTMENT

WHO IS THIS COURSE IS FOR:

• Spiritual healers who want to know how to support themselves so they get to show up better for their dharmic work

• The person who has been on the healing path but feels like they have been shooting in the dark or guessing and wants a framework to design their life for health 

• Those who are completely new to the spirituality + holistic nature of health and are curious about how to prevent disease in a conscious way on every level 

• Those battling chronic disease who are tired of not having a fully held framework for living 

• Those noticing a downhill trend in their symptoms or health, low energy, brain fog, fatigue, not feeling like their “normal selves” or perhaps you don’t remember the last time you felt great and you are not sure what happened or what to do

WHY THIS COURSE IS UNLIKE ANY OTHER / WHY THIS COURSE IS THE ANSWERED PRAYER:

• We’ve never been as far away from crops and the natural world as we are now, and we are living in a virtual reality and this is creating disease

• We (your facilitators) have lived through the impacts of the harms of the objectification of the Western body and are on a deep path of reclaiming vitality — we have a deeply personal relationship to our studies, practices, and desire to share them

• There are low-cost, time-efficient ways to live well. We may not have the time or money to uproot our entire lifestyles and buy “health hack” devices but we are here to share healing practices that are accessible. We will both practice together and learn how to “habit stack” and sustainably make changes that support our longevity and health

• It’s rare to find the bridge between mental health and physiological health — this course is a place where the wisdom, lived experience and trainings of Gabrielle and Dr. Elise are being woven together through the worlds of mental health and medicine

• This can help heal disease by bringing us closer to the earth, our creativity, and the wisdom of soil and soul

a little bit about YOUR GUIDES!

THE BIRTH OF FUNCTIONAL ALCHEMY

functional alchemy was birthed from a longing to create a space for people to feel like they have tools to navigate physical and psychospiritual realms to empower them to take power back from a society and system that tells them they don't know their bodies.

we believe that we are our own truest healers and the knowers of our own reality and that we deserve a deep remembering of our innate wisdom and path to health.

this course is one-of-a-kind and revolutionary, combining guidance by a Licensed Naturopathic Doctor and a Licensed Holistic Psychotherapist through an embodied wellness journey.

we will be covering topics such as caring for our metabolic health through eating for true nourishment and mitochondrial health, balancing anti-inflammatory practices, creating a nervous system-centered life, and practices for healthy bio-rhythms/cycles and so much more.

in addition to functional lab work panels with over 100 individual biomarkers where you learn to be your own guide, we also hand you the tools to address them.

we are inviting in dialogues that are trauma-informed, anti-diet culture, and guidance into an organic feminine response to the hyper-masculine biohacking world.

our intention is that we are all students in this work together; relearning trust in our own desires, and how to develop intimacy with our symptoms as a language of wisdom within the context of a supportive community. 

*this course is about taking back your power, feeling deeply connected and aware of the internal processes happening inside of you, creating deeper relationship to your soma, cells, and body, and healing through deep remembering of the wisdom already inside you.

*this course will help you to re-ignite your connection to your intuition for radical life transformation, teach you how to experience true nourishment, break up with health anxiety and diet culture, live intuitively and functionally, experience sustainable nervous system care, build safety in your mind, body, and life, provide attachment-focused healing for reparenting and internal family systems work, and cellular reclamation.

ELISE, ND AND GABRIELLE, LCSW ARE BOTH TRAINED IN A neuro-bioligical, systems-oriented, and trauma-informed integrative APPROACH TO earth-based HEALING + PRACTICES THROUGH THEIR RESPECTIVE CERTIFICATIONS AS AN INTEGRATIVE PSYCHOTHERAPIST AND NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR.

WHAT YOU WILL WALK AWAY FROM THIS COURSE WITH…

✷ a deeper sense of your relationship to your nervous system and body as your guides in this world

✷ an understanding of how your individual healing is a necessary part of collective healing

✷ an arsenal of knowledge for making small choices each day that make a massive impact on your wellbeing and longevity

✷ a de-conditioning of the harmful messaging from toxic wellness industries, diet culture or stories you have gathered along the way

✷ tools and practices for regenerative cellular function, a sustainable nervous system, and connection to nature as healer

✷ deeper sense of compassion for yourself, and others on their healing journey

✷ more knowledge about what your labs mean for your health outcomes than most doctors will ever give you

✷ tools to reparent, including an exploration of your attachment and how it was shaped

✷ ways to remember our elemental relationship to Earth and a systems approach to understanding the different forms of trauma + wisdom

✷ the potential for whole life transformation in a sustainable way

✷ access within yourself to deeper intuitive living

✷ health sovereignty and power of your own health and health advocacy

How would your life change…

If you experience practical growth in all of these areas? If you gain a community, deep healing, connection to your inner physician, receive techniques on resourcing the nervous system to feel more secure in your health, befriend and inhabit the home of your body, and reclaim your relationship to what it means to be truly nourished?

COURSE faq

Q: DO I NEED TO order the function LAB panel in order to participate

A: Though it is not required It is HIGHLY recommended that you order the lab panel through Function Health in addition to taking this course as we will be spending time going over what we can learn about labs in depth.

Q: how does function labs work?

A: You order labs online, then go to your local blood draw clinic and the results get back to you within 2-3 weeks. We suggest for all participants who sign up to order labs either a month before the course starts or ordering the labs upon the course starting. Function Labs is an annual subscription of $500 a year that can be cancelled any time and provides two comprehensive lab panels a year. We will be utilizing one of those two panels for our course together.

Q: I AM working with a health provider - IS THIS STILL FOR ME?

A: 100%, yes! In fact, we highly recommend having a qualified practitioner on board to continue this work since we are not providing medical care or therapy care in this educational course.

Q: I am dealing with a chronic illness, going through hormonal changes, and/or in a life stage that involves a lot of hormonal changes, is this course still for me?

A: 100%, yes! The course will be highly bio-individualized and oriented towards building awareness, psychoeducation and resources to support you in building agency in your health and life.

Q: will there be replays/recordings in case i miss a week?

A: Yes, a replay will be sent to your e-mail after every class.

Q: Can i sign up if i can’t make it live?

Q: what is the time commitment?

A: 2-3x a month 2-hour meetings: Time TBD as a group. Outside dedication to this course is optional, but we recommend allotting around 30-90 minutes a week outside of class to deepen in the practices we share.

Q: HOW DOES THE PRICING TIER SYSTEM WORK?

A: Capitalism has taught us to get the “best deal” whenever possible. We are re-imagining a community-oriented pricing structure where those with more financial resources pay more than the true cost of the program in order to directly support those needing financial support for the program. We ask that you make your tier choice with heart and integrity.

Q: are there payment plans available?

A: Yes! After you choose the appropriate tier, you have the option to pay for the course in full; or in 3 monthly payments. All payment plans are available at 0% interest. If cost is the ONLY thing stopping you from applying, please reach out and talk with us.

Q: are there refunds?

A: There will not be refunds for this course. This course isn’t going to just be about learning info to regurgitate information, it’s going to be about remembering the WIDSOM of body. Because of the experiential nature of the work, we are not offering refunds.

Q: can i connect with people between class?

A: Yes, we will have a private WhatsApp group for bonding, sharing, and connection.

NATURE is YOU

nature dwells in you AS you to sustain the inherent dance of life. in Chinese the characters referring to “Natural” can be translated to “of its own self, self-transformation.” we often linearly look at life and healing, omitting the ways that are returning in the cycle of life with no beginning and no end. the essence of Humanness is to exist in relationship with the rest of nature. we weave rituals in nature with our longing to remain rooted in our essence. our daily routines can become sacred acts of reverence in the mundane when approached with devotion, an opportunity to weave rituals that heal us and amplify our life force in reverence to the divine spirit that animates all life. this course will be a practice of remembering how we relate to Nature: within, and without and beyond. And we need guidance and community along that path of magical devotion and remembering — it takes a village to sustain a life.

there is no separation between you and all there is: the water, the trees, the minerals and the collective breath. this is life. YOU are life. with tools like labs, magical practices, the power of the mind, plant allies, community, learning, and embodied guidance, we may remember our power.

*this course is not a substitution for medical or psychological care. it is not meant to diagnose or act in place of medical care. please consult your health practitioners, physician, or psychotherapist for any mental or physical health concerns you may have. Dr. Elise Sulser and Gabrielle Bodzin are providing this course as course facilitators, not as the participant’s doctor or psychotherapist. agreeing to join this course means you hold yourself responsible for any challenges or damages that may occur, and that you will not hold them accountable or liable for any mental or physical health concerns you may have before, during, or after the course.
