In my 25 years in business this is the first coaching program that isn't salesy off the top and not once as it felt sleezy. I had considered retiring but with all Dr Z has to offer why would I when I... See more

Dr. Z is so amazing at providing an enormous amount of useful information. She is easy to follow, gets her point across, and her passion radiates through whatever she is teaching. Thank you so much!

Building the Healthcare System we've Been Missing

As a surgical trauma ICU nurse, one of the things I appreciate most about Dr. Z’s program is that it speaks to all healers and healthcare practitioners. It encourages us to take what we know and use it in new ways to help people more effectively.

To me, this is part of how we begin revamping our current fragmented sick-care model into a more comprehensive approach focused on staying healthy, building resilience, and preventing disease.

We are given an incredible amount of clinical knowledge in nursing and medical school, but very few of us are taught how to build a practice, market our services, use technology and social media, or communicate what we have to offer to the people who need it. Yet these skills are becoming increasingly important.

We live in a world where information is readily available. The challenge is no longer simply having knowledge. It is knowing how to bring that knowledge together, apply it effectively, reach people, and create something meaningful with it.

Dr. Z’s Bootcamp and program provide many of those missing tools. They encourage practitioners to take action, build their own practices, and recognize that with the right guidance and support, creating a successful practice is possible.

This is the kind of education I wish we were exposed to in nursing and medical school. We have been given the knowledge to care for people, but we also need the tools to bring that knowledge into the world in new and meaningful ways.

Thank you, Dr. Z. 🙏 I’m excited to continue learning, growing, and seeing where this experience takes me.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dr. Z’s Bootcamp was an incredible experience! She made the entire weekend feel so personal and intentional. Dr. Z is truly an expert in functional medicine, and her passion for teaching and helping other providers succeed is evident in everything she does.

Her staff was absolutely amazing—welcoming, supportive, and attentive—and the community she has built is truly top-notch. I left feeling inspired, encouraged, and even more confident about growing in this field. I am so grateful and proud to be part of Dr. Z’s Functional Medicine Academy!

No longer spinning my wheels

I've been spinning my wheels for longer than I want to admit. Trying different things, using the same brain, hoping something would finally click. And then I found Dr. Z.

Three days. That's all it took to feel something I haven't felt in a long time — genuine hope. Not the performative "I can do this" kind. The kind that lives in your body and says of course.

Dr. Z is the real deal. She's genuine, authentic, and she puts the obstacles right in front of you from the start. No hoodwinking. No sleazy sales tactics. No glossing over the hard parts. What you see is exactly what you get — and what you get is someone who actually wants you to succeed.

What sets this apart from everything else I've tried is that you don't feel like a number. Whether you're just starting out or ready to scale, they meet you exactly where you are.

Well worth it !

I recently attended Dr. Z's 3-day bootcamp, and it was chock-full of valuable information. I've taken plenty of seminars over the years, but this one stood out for how much ground it covered on actually running a successful virtual functional medicine clinic or health coaching business. Dr. Z was incredibly open and transparent about how she built her own business — she didn't hold back on any of it. If you're serious about growing a virtual practice, this bootcamp is worth every minute. I am so thankful for attending.

Phenomenal!

Dr. Brandy Z is so knowledgeable about Marketing to grow your health care business! She's so up-to-date with current marketing trends that are working right now, not 6 months ago (since the internet evolves quickly!) And she takes the time to answer all your questions live during "The Healer's Bootcamp"! Make sure to get the VIP status for more in-depth training than the free general attendance. It's worth it!!

The real deal!

Dr. Z is just so real, she is the real deal!
I continue to be amazed at how much information Dr. Z and her team can pack into a few short hours. The program is absolutely amazing with so many resources and tools. It's pretty incredible - a high value, complete package definitely worth the money. I highly recommend it.

Great value for the VIP fee

Great value for the VIP fee. Learned so much about the business aspect of being in the health and wellness space! Being a licensed practitioner is only half of the battle, making money requires the business knowledge and Dr. Z provides that. Thanks Dr. Z

Full healthcare biz plan

Dr. Z speaks with confidence to fledgling healthcare business owners because she knows the numbers that create a sustainable practice. I am so impressed by the level of detail in the five business pillars. I’ve seen other founder branding “basics” trainings, but they never include the Admin that healthcare delivery requires! I feel like I’ve found a business building home.

Dr. Z is authentic, You could tell she enjoys what she does and she genuinely wants to share her knowledge. I have enjoyed the live webinar very much, I have joined the VIP group and scheduled a 1:! call for Monday that was offered through this webinar! I hope to hire the team for coaching soon!
