 "Dr. Elyaman and his course exceeded my expectations. Since the course, he has added additional lectures and hosted several extra case presentation webinars. My goal to learn additional tools and treatments to help my patients using functional medicine in my medical practice has been met and my expectations exceeded. I would recommend Dr. Elyaman’s liver course to all practitioners wanting to provide the most updated and excellent treatment for their patients."

 "The NAFLD/MASLD course is long and dense in material. However, Dr. Elyaman is an excellent lecturer and the course is quite engaging. In addition to ample evidence based information, he presents many useful clinical pearls, and the chapter quizzes are effective in reinforcing your learning. Dr. Kunz also deserves much appreciation for her contribution to the course. I have recently completed this course, and I highly recommend it to anyone on the functional medicine journey. The whole experience has been phenomenal, and I look forward to any courses offered by Dr. Elyaman in the future."

"Dr. Elyaman is one of those rare teachers that can transform a complicated topic nabbed from the molecular scientific literature and convert all that detail to simplified bite sized application not only for the clinician but absolutely for the person on the other side of your stethoscope. Non communicable disease and its illnesses can be shifted toward health. He teaches with joy, humor, and enthusiasm. There is translation from the complex to simple applicability. Everyone learns something new! Genius."
