Functional Medicine Isn’t Failing.
Mistiming Is.
Many pharmacists:
-
Learn protocols before understanding orientation
-
Overload patients without assessing capacity
-
Struggle to implement what they know
-
Burn out trying to build alone
-
Feel clinically capable — but structurally scattered
Information isn’t the issue.
Timing is.
Alignment is.
Formation is.
Orientation Is the Doorway
In this Path, we start differently.
Before protocols.
Before scaling.
Before positioning.
We establish:
-
Clinical orientation
-
Capacity awareness
-
Timing intelligence
-
Narrative coherence
Because capacity is not the goal.
Capacity determines the dose of change a system can tolerate without compensating.
That principle changes everything.
The Functional Pharmacist Practice Path Includes:
Phase I — Knowledge + Orientation Foundations
Before the Labs
A Pharmacist’s Orientation to Functional Practice
Orientation-Based Medicine Foundations
Beyond the Labs
Clinical + Coaching Foundations
Beyond the Labs Content Vault
Recorded master trainings + case breakdowns
This phase builds your thinking.
Phase II — Aligned Practice Growth Accelerator
Orientation-Based. Capacity-Aware.
This is where knowledge becomes formation.
Includes:
-
Group coaching
-
6 private 1:1 mentorship sessions (per year)
-
Practice formation + positioning
-
Applied orientation in real time
-
Capacity-aware growth strategy
-
Live call schedule + community rhythm
This is accelerating aligned growth — not forcing expansion.
How Progression Through the Path Works
You are not locked into a program.
You’re entering a developmental pathway.
Some pharmacists:
-
Begin in Foundation
-
Move into Build as confidence and clarity grow
-
Step into Mastery when refinement and scale matter
Others may enter at a later level depending on experience.
The constant is this:
You’re not stuck. You’re progressing.
Who This Path Is For
The Functional Pharmacist Practice Path is for pharmacists who:
-
Want structure without rigidity
-
Value mentorship over hype
-
Care about doing functional medicine well
-
Are building something meant to last
-
See functional practice as a professional evolution
This is career development, not program hopping.
Where Do You Start?
-
Still building confidence and systems? → Foundation
-
Ready to implement and grow? → Build
-
Looking for refinement and scale? → Mastery
There is a place for you here.
One Path. Three Levels. A Clear Way Forward.
The Functional Pharmacist Practice Path exists so pharmacists no longer have to guess where they belong—only where they are in the journey.
By the end of this Path, you will:
-
Think in orientation, not reaction
-
Dose change correctly
-
Build a capacity-aware clinical model
-
Position yourself clearly
-
Implement without chaos
-
Grow without over-carrying
This is identity-level development.
Not just education.
This is for pharmacists who:
-
Want to practice functional medicine correctly
-
Are serious about long-term sustainability
-
Value mentorship and formation
-
Are ready to build intentionally
This is not for passive learners.
This is for practitioners ready to architect their practice.

About Rob Kress
Built by a Pharmacist Who Has Lived Both Sides
I built this Path after years of practicing, teaching, refining, and recognizing where functional medicine breaks down in real-world application.
This is not theory.
This is applied architecture.
— Rob Kress
I’m Rob Kress — a licensed pharmacist, specialist and leader in functional medicine — often called the “godfather of functional pharmacy.”
Here’s what I see in most practitioners: they build a model where they see people from time to time — one-off consults, scattered follow-ups — and they never build something that’s true, sustainable, and built for the long game.
So their income stays tied to their hours… and nothing “pays them back” when they’re not working.
I’m the creator of Beyond the Labs and Functional Pharmacy University, and I lead communities through The Midlife Medicine Collective and Mythic Man Medicine. I’m also a partner in the Soul of Medicine medical practice.
The way I practice — and the way I teach — is a Beyond the Labs approach: we don’t treat numbers on a page. We look at the whole person — their body, their health history, their goals, and where they want to go — integrating everything from functional medicine to mind-body work.
And here’s the truth: most practitioners don’t struggle because they lack knowledge. They struggle because they don’t have a clear offer, a signature message, and a simple enrollment and growth system that turns their expertise into something repeatable.
That’s what the Signature Practice Builder is for. We’ll turn what you already know into a program you can confidently deliver, enroll, and grow — with structure, integrity, and a system that holds.
FAQ's
“I don’t have time with my full-time job.”
That’s exactly why this works. You’re not guessing your next move — you’re executing a roadmap with short feedback loops.
“What if I build it and nobody buys?”
We’re not building in isolation. We build the talk + offer together, then refine it based on real-world delivery and responses.
“I don’t have a big audience.”
Good. You don’t need one. You need the right message and a repeatable way to present it so the right people raise their hand.
“This is a big investment.”
If one client is worth ~$1,700–$3,200+, this pays for itself fast. The expensive option is staying stuck another year.
