Brandy Zachary calls herself The Dr. Z, but she's only a chiropractor with a certificate in functional medicine.
So I feel like doctor is a bit of a stretch.
Wouldn't that be like a PE teacher asking you to call them professor?
Oops, there I go again, being a judgy little narc. I should really say something positive.
Okay, here goes: Brandy's wearing beautiful turquoise glasses that match her scrubs in the video I'm watching.
There, that's better.
Now read on for my Functional Medicine Academy review.
Brandy wants to help you achieve the following:
- Get functional medicine certified.
- Launch your own private practice.
- Earn your first $100,000.
- And do it all in five months or less.
How's that sound? Like a wind chime in the summer breeze?
Cool. Brandy's gotcha covered. Results guaranteed!
And you won't have to spend a fortune or lose your mind in the process.
The Practice Plan is the name of Brandy's program.
In the first two months, you'll get certified in functional medicine.
You'll learn all the practical information that you'll be using with your patients. Everything you need to know to feel confident in your clinical care.
No fluff, no wasted time, Brandy promises.
Next, you'll launch your new practice (or perfect your existing one).
You'll sleep like you took an edible and a Benadryl, knowing it's set up exactly the way you want. You can work in-person, virtually, or a combination thereof.
Take month-long vacations a coupla times a year, if you want.
No risky business, either. You'll be following all the rules, protecting your license, conducting yourself like a professional.
From here, you'll work towards your first (or next) $100k in profit.
And then you'll do it again... and again and again.
With this new skillset, you'll be able to earn whatever you want, for as long as you want, Brandy says.
This'll give you so many more choices. Whether it's:
- Sending kids to college
- Traveling more
- Enjoying nice restaurants
- Getting a new car
- Whatever it is
Just follow the Rx5 Formula inside the training, and your life will shine like a marble floor in a ritzy hotel.
As for Functional Medicine Academy reviews:
- Dr. Reagan, a pediatrician, established a new practice dedicated to treating children with behavioral issues through the use of all-natural remedies, as opposed to relying on medication.
- Dr. Anderson transitioned from working as a chiropractor, to running a fully online functional medicine business, where he now earns twice as much as he did previously.
- A nurse practitioner named Carrie grew her practice to $40k per month in just 12 weeks.
- Nurse Stacy went from 12-hour hospital shifts to running a seven figure multidisciplinary practice, and she did so in record time.
And there's so, so many more, Brandy says.
"I've been doing this for decades. I've had over 20,000 clients. I've done exclusively functional medicine for the last 10 years or so," she adds.
"There's really not anyone out there who knows both functional medicine and business the way I do," she claims.
Now, are you sitting down?
Functional Medicine Academy "The Mentorship 3.0" costs $8,800, and that's just for the first 120 days.
After that?
It's $996 a month. No contract. Cancel anytime. Just give 30 days' notice.
Some would say that's too much to charge. (Me. I say that.)
Even still, it all sounds so overwhelming.
Makes me wanna spin a cocoon and sleep for about a month straight just thinking about everything that needs done.

Q&A
Q: Brandy Zachary net worth?
A: Why's everyone so obsessed with knowing other people's net worth? Who cares - life is pointless. We can't even enjoy Diddy or R. Kelly songs anymore.
Q: Are other functional medicine certification programs this expensive?
A: Disgustingly, yes. Her competitors charge anywhere from $9,000 to $17,000.
Q: Do you think it's worth it?
A: I wouldn't drop that kinda cash unless it was for a real degree from a real university. But hey, that's just me. I duct-taped my ripped Nike Slide the other day, if that tells you anything.
Q: How do you make money?
A: I have a portfolio of websites that each make over $1,000 a month. Here's how I do it.
