“Dr Walsh has continually impressed me with his knowledge of the science, his willingness to dig deeper than anyone else and his innovative, realistic and supportive approach to teaching. His whiteboard presentations are nothing less than enlightening. If you are a learn-freak like the rest of us, who also wants to be able to apply the knowledge in clinical practice, all of Dr Walsh’s courses will be practical and useful.” – Reed Davis | Founder FDN®, CNT

Most Physiology Courses Aren’t Taught Well…
This One is Different

Most physiology courses teach all of the systems in a silo – learn about the kidneys, then the lungs, then the heart – and keep doing that until you’ve taught the entire body. There is rarely, if any, discussion how systems integrate and interact with one another, or how the information relates to a clinician.

Another problem with most courses, is they don’t look to the scientific literature on the best ways to teach physiology.

For example, research papers have been written suggesting that instead of trying to teach hundreds of different concepts in physiology, spanning over 1,000 pages for the average physiology text book, “core principles” should be focused on so to better create a foundation for understanding physiology.

That is exactly what our course does – in 20 hours of video lectures, you’ll learn a TON, but you’ll also learn “core principles” that will allow you to more easily learn advanced physiology later on.

In fact in Module 1 alone, we teach cover levels of organization, cell architecture, cell membrane components and physiology, cellular junctions and connections, membrane transport, and cell-to-cell communication – exactly what the “core principles” say we should teach!

One research paper surveyed medical school students and suggested a combination of writing on the chalkboard and PowerPoints is their preferred method of learning physiology. This was backed by yet another paper, demonstrating that this is the best combination for learning!

If you haven’t noticed yet, our white board drawings are the focus of our courses, with PowerPoints sprinkled in.

In other words, we teach EXACTLY how science demonstrated is the best way to learn! There really is no comparison between this course and other physiology courses.

We don’t rely on or promote memorization. Instead we encourage you understand concepts and “core principles” so to truly learn, internalize, and apply the information.

“I love the way Dr. Walsh lays out his courses. It is like working your way through a Mystery Novel. You can’t wait to get to the end to see who did it. Dr. Walsh not only logically explains the complexity of physiology, but he is wonderfully entertaining in doing so. Never bored ever. Thank you Dr. Walsh. You are a great teacher.” – Linda Merlo | Owner, SPOT Imaging

We Don’t Just Teach Physiology, We Teach Functional Physiology

Functional Physiology is quite simply usable physiology. It is physiology that you can use clinically.

Everyone knows there is theory, and there is reality, but they don’t always mix very well, especially when it comes to education and a clinical practice.

Functional Physiology is different. Here you’ll learn how to relate what you learn to a clinical practice. For example, you’ve inevitably heard about the blood brain barrier, but do you know what cells create it or what it actually looks like? Have you heard that certain supplements might be supportive of the blood brain barrier? Armed with the information in this course you’ll know and understand more about the blood brain barrier than the majority of practitioners, which gives you the opportunity to help even more people.

And the blood brain barrier is just ONE of hundreds of examples in this course.
