Rob Kress, The Godfather of Functional Pharmacy
My name is Robert Kress, I am a Pharmacist and Functional Medicine Specialist, who has founded the practice and discipline of Functional Pharmacy- also referred to as The Godfather of Functional Pharmacy.
For over 20 years I have been working with patients as well as educating and coaching practitioners on implementing and growing functional and lifestyle medicine within their practice.…I teach what I do, my coaching and teaching comes from a combination of evidence-based medicine, clinical and lifestyle practice, which I work on a daily basis- and share this knowledge and experience with you.

What Makes "Foundations" Different from BEYOND The Labs or Any other Functional Medicine Training for Pharmacists?
Answering the desire for simplicity and practicality of the foundational, the fundamental, and the necessary.
I created Foundations as a place to teach other pharmacists how to take control of their own destiny in functional and lifestyle medicine.
Foundations has stemmed from my flagship training, Beyond the labs which is the most comprehensive functional and beyond medicine training that I am aware of- and it came from my evolution of Physical medicine and Bridging to the Mind Body and Beyond.
Where Beyond the Labs is still the #1most comprehensive training for pharmacists from the lifestyle and functional and Beyond, it might not be for everyone- just yet.
This is why I am so excited to introduce, Foundations, the Purely Lifestyle and Functional version of Beyond the Labs- designed to be your first step to truly transformative patient care and allow you to ascend up your ladder of mastery at the time frame and financial investment suited best for you.
BONUS - If you complete the certification within the first 12 month's, the $499 Fee is waived.

Best Value + Go At Your Own Pace
The Labs, Lifestyle & Community Coaching & Mentoring Method...The Possibilities- Our Future is Now
As the practice has evolved, we noticed through our combined over 50 years of practice in conventional and complementary therapies, we each have subtle nuances to treatments which complement each other for patients success.
A successful functional health practice will take into a account clients health goals, where they are when they begin, what challenges they have encountered, and through functional lab and lifestyle assessments create a path to take them where they want and need to go.
And...this is what I am about to teach you.
BTL GROW + Community comes FREE for 6 Months- providi weekly online trainings and group virtual meetings, and Live Q and A's we train pharmacists like you in our method of the art and science of assessing labs and lifestyle (diet, movement, stress management, environment and BEYOND) and creating protocols based on the individual’s needs.
As you can imagine, providing such clinical and lifestyle protocols are the core to any practice, has been a key to our success which you can use to either guide your own practice, or complement what you or someone else is already doing (i.e. collaborative)

Beyond the Labs has been so much more than just another podcast or fictional medicine training. If you are feeling stuck getting your practice off the ground or feel overwhelmed by all that you are learning TAKE THIS COURSE.
Rob offers an outside the box way to help your patients. Unlike other FM courses he nurtures our RPh need for evidence on what to do by teaching how to interpret at a variety of labs. However, the name of his training implies, he teaches so much more. Part of Rob’s approach helps you to look at yourself so you know how to encourage patients to be introspective in finding solutions. He teaches you to analyze a a patient’s chief concern using all tools ranging from a philosophical to physical approach.
The time and energy Rob brings to his trainings and office hours is invaluable. Join BTL, you will be glad you did!

When I first decided I wanted to integrate more functional medicine into my pharmacy practice, I was very confused as to where to begin my training. There were so many different programs that would happily take my money. The more I looked, I kept coming back to the godfather of functional pharmacy, Rob Kress. He has tailored his program specifically to pharmacists and has been using the protocols and techniques he teaches for many years. He called me before signing up and we chatted for about 30 min and I knew instantly that this would be the best place for me to start my training. He spends significant time coaching and helping us understand his patients and thought process.
The materials he provides in the Beyond the Labs program are extensive and very helpful. I am so grateful for the support group of other like minded pharmacists in the cohort and the community that he has created. I highly suggest that any pharmacist considering functional medicine to jump on a call with Rob before paying for other training programs and join the Beyond the Labs community!

I first heard about Rob and functional pharmacy through a CE I registered for on Freece.com. To say I was blown away, is an understatement! The topics being discussed were exactly what I envisioned Pharmacy should be, and not being only run by the government and insurance! The beyond the Labs training is an absolute GAME changer! I couldn’t think of a better way to further your Pharmacy degree now matter what area you are currently practicing! Don’t hesitate to sign up with Rob, he is a born teacher and an absolutely incredible human being….this is what every Pharmacist should be learning, be part of the movement!
