Don't start with limitations. Begin your journey by learning how to assess the whole patient, BEFORE just lab tests.
BEFORE The Labs is the Best First Step for Pharmacists looking to break into Functional Medicine.
Welcome to BEFORE the Labs LITE- The No Bells, No Whistles, Ultimate Functional Medicine Training, Mentoring & Coaching Program for Pharmacists who are looking to carve their own path to a profession that falls in line with their purpose and passion.
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 BEFORE The Labs Different from BEYOND The Labs Any other Functional Medicine Training for Pharmacists?
I created Before the Labs as a jumping off place to teach other pharmacists how to take control of their own destiny in functional and lifestyle medicine.
Before the labs 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 #1 most 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, BEFORE The Labs, 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.
When you are ready, to step into what Full Beyond the Labs- which will hone your skills like no other- and start you on the path of implementation and growth, we are here for you.

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.

Hear what other practitioners are saying...
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!
