The Dr. Z Functional Medicine Academy. LLC Reviews 415

Dr. Z's knowledge and experience with health & wellness business startups is immense. She is the mentor you want on your side to show the way and avoid the common pitfalls when launching out. I was personally impressed with all of the benefits and resources they offer. What a great resource!

Dr. Z and her team are amazing! Everyone on the team is well educated, professional, and friendly and personal. The content is well organized, to the point, and very engaging. She always overdelivers, providing a ton of relevant information on each topic. You can tell she genuinely cares about your success, always takes the time to answer all questions, even on free webinars. She has the professional experience and expertise to truly support building a successful functional medicine business. I think she has an offer to cover anything you could possibly think of needing help with, and even what you didn't know you were missing!

I've been converting my practice from western medicine to holistic and lifestyle entrepreneurship for 7 years. Dr. Z and the Functional Medicine Academy get it! They know the pain points and understand the current strategies to make things happen.

Healing Business Bootcamp has a great amount of information. Love hearing Dr. Z's journey and other client testimonials. I truly appreciate the notes and access to replays. Thank you

I have attended a few of Dr. Z‘s online seminars, and I feel like a kid in a candy store. She has so much to offer to health professionals. She doesn’t focus on one thing-she has solutions for all areas of the practice. She has done the work and has all the components that one needs and it appears to be in a simple format.

I recently attended Dr. Z’s 3-day webinar on the business aspects of Functional Medicine, and it was extremely valuable. The program went far beyond theory and offered clear, practical strategies that can be implemented immediately in clinical practice.

Dr. Z did an excellent job breaking down complex business concepts—marketing, patient acquisition, pricing models, systems development, and scalability—into actionable steps tailored specifically for functional and integrative medicine practitioners. The content was structured, focused, and highly relevant to the realities of running a modern practice.

What stood out most was the emphasis on building a sustainable, ethical, and patient-centered business model while maintaining clinical integrity. The webinar provided both mindset shifts and concrete tools that can truly help practitioners grow with confidence.

I highly recommend this training to any practitioner looking to strengthen the business foundation of their Functional Medicine practice.

This training answered so many questions. I love..love..love what you have put together. Unless the Lird gives me a financial miracle, I won't be able to sign up right now but I am not giving up hope. What you provide can literally save us tons of money, time, and frustration. I love you Dr. Z. Thank you sooooo much!

The three day introduction to The Dr. Z Functional Medicine Academy program is 100% worth the time. It was very inspiring and educational. The resources shared are great support that go above and beyond any other session for practitioners I’ve attended.

Dr. Z's 3-day class: The Healer’s Business Bootcamp, was phenomenal! She provided excellent details for "wellpreneurs." Dr. Z, this has been truly inspiring, encouraging and quite informative. You've stated the quiet parts out loud for us cutting through the BS out there. I can't express how healing this has been! ❤️

Wow! So much information! Dr. Z is informative, sincere and very knowledgeable! Get ready to have your mind blown! Thank you for opening my mind to current and relative practice knowledge.

Very informative. So generous with notes and answering questions.

I attended a provider Bootcamp 3-day masterclass and am just blown away.

I've been building my business for years, been in many different business coaching spaces and never have I come across such a 360-degree, well rounded, honest, direct, value-packed course.

I feel clear on where I've been going wrong, how to correct it, and how to really move into the success I've worked so hard to build.

So grateful to have found her and will certainly continue to learn from this group.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE DR Z!!! She is an absolute wealth of knowledge. FMA is an amazing program but does not offer financial support for people like me who do not have the money or credit to sign up mentorship program which sounds so AMAZING! A scholarship or sponsorship would be so amazing for people like myself trying to rebuild their life.

I joined the mentorship program. I've been an acupuncturist for over 20 years. I wanted to move my health practice online and move into Functional Medicine. This program has been so much more than just a course. The coaching is worth 10X what they charge. Will be in this coaching program for a long time there is so much to learn and they are always doing so much to keep us current.

With the start of 2026, I promised myself I would stop hesitating and finally move my practice forward—so I honored that commitment by signing the contract for my first brick‑and‑mortar location. Yep, I really did it. Do I have all the answers? Not even close. But it felt like a now‑or‑never moment, and I chose to bet on myself.

Today, I made a second commitment—to myself, my practice, and the community I serve—by enrolling in Dr. Z’s Mentorship Program 3.0. As a systems‑driven person, I know exactly what happens when we forget the basics of Business 101: without systems, you don’t have a business, you have a job you can’t quit. I’m building something bigger than that. Something scalable, sustainable, and rooted in the founder mindset.

After months of 15‑hour days trying to piece together every moving part on my own, I finally chose to invest in myself and my practice. Dr. Z reminded me that I don’t have to reinvent the wheel—and with the Practice Launch Mentoring Program, I finally feel like I have the structure, support, and clarity I’ve been craving.

So here’s to the next chapter. Here’s to systems, growth, and doing this the right way. And here’s to seeing you at my ribbon cutting in 120 days.

I loved the Business Bootcamp!!! I signed up at the last minute and I was thankfully surprised. Dr. Z and her support team are incredible. Love the honest answers about what works and what doesn't work. She's up-to-date on what you really need to know about starting and/or scaling your practice. She cleared up a lot of confusion about legal issues (not an attorney), about what could and could not go wrong, along with a focus on using AI. It's here. Wow.

Dr. Z's program and tools are amazing! I keep going back for more and more because she's so knowledgeable and up to date on the latest trends. I opened my practice and made 6 figures in 5 months thanks to her and her team. Can't recommend Dr. Z enough

Dr. Z has an amazing ability to help you see the reality of your potential, which was more than I thought about for myself.
I came for the marketing tips, but there is so much more in this training. She has the experience, staff, programs, and passion to help you develop any type of business- from solo practitioners to large group practices.
I can't believe how much information I received and how excited I am to create a growth in my mental health business beyond what I had imagined prior to this webinar.
I already feel like I help people, but now I have a focus on how to help myself and my business grow to help my clients. She is truly motivating and inspirational.

This has made me very excited about kicking off my health coaching business.
