PRACTITIONER'S PROGRAM
A self-paced certification program for healthcare professionals ready to transition into structured, root-cause, holistic care — with clarity and confidence.
The Root Cause Reset
Become a Certified Root-Cause Practitioner Without Abandoning Your Clinical Background
accredited by:
As a pharmacist with over 20 years in healthcare and wellness, I’ve seen even highly skilled practitioners get stuck: patients plateau, chronic conditions persist, and conventional approaches only go so far.
Through my own health journey — including anxiety, endometriosis, fertility challenges, and chronic gut issues — I discovered what mainstream medicine often misses: stress, toxins, and systemic imbalances that drive chronic illness.
I created The Root Cause: Practitioner’s Program to give healthcare professionals a structured, science-based framework for holistic, root-cause care — so you can integrate your clinical knowledge with functional approaches, help patients more effectively, and build a practice that feels aligned and impactful.
Hi, I'm Dr. Kourtney Chichilitti, functional medicine pharmacist.
Most practitioners start their careers wanting to actually help patients.
You follow the protocols. You run the labs. You do your best. And yet...
⚡️ Patients plateau
⚡️ Chronic symptoms persist
⚡️ Appointments feel rushed
⚡️ You’re managing symptoms — not resolving root causes
It’s not a lack of skill or dedication — conventional training wasn’t designed to fully address root causes, systemic imbalances, or complex chronic conditions.
Many practitioners realize: THERE HAS TO BE MORE.
More understanding. More structure. More impact.
That’s what this program is about.
Ever feel like conventional training WASn’t enough?
Is this program right for you?
This program is designed for healthcare practitioners and health coaches who:

✅ Are looking to establish a clear, structured method that actually helps clients improve — including leveraging foundational lab work with confidence
✅ Feel called to root-cause work but don’t know how to transition safely, credibly, or systematically

✅ Are ready to practice in a more aligned, impactful way
