Patrick Jones - Course author

Megan Barnett, MS, CNS

As a functional medicine nutritionist, I work with clients to identify what’s at the root of their health problems then design individualized, science-based approaches to alleviate their symptoms and help their bodies heal. I’ve helped clients reverse conditions they’d been told were untreatable or irreversible by conventional healthcare providers.

I have a B.S. in dietetics from Kansas University and a M.S. in human nutrition and functional medicine from University of Western States. I have extensive experience creating lectures and online education programs and love sharing my passion for health with others.
