Advanced Clinical Nutrition Course (ACN)

Treat Chronic Disease at the Root Cause — Not the Symptoms

The Missing Piece in Modern Healthcare

De Cursus Geavanceerde klinische voeding (ACN) is a comprehensive training program designed to teach healthcare providers how to identify and treat the underlying causes of chronic disease using clinical nutrition, lab analysis, and targeted treatment protocols.

This is not basic nutrition education.

This is a clinical system that transforms how you evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients.

Why Most Providers Struggle with Chronic Conditions

Traditional healthcare training focuses on:

• Symptomen
• Diagnoses
• medicijnen

But chronic disease is rarely caused by one issue.

It is driven by:

• Ontsteking
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Hormonal imbalances
• Metabolic dysfunction
• Toxic load

Without addressing these root causes, patients often:

• Fail to improve long-term
• Cycle through treatments
• Continue to decline

There is a well-documented nutrition education gap in medical training, leaving providers underprepared to use nutrition as a primary treatment tool.

What You Will Learn

The ACN course provides a step-by-step system to evaluate and treat patients using clinical nutrition.

Advanced Clinical Nutrition Principles

• Basis- en geavanceerde voeding
• Biochemistry and nutrient metabolism
• How nutrition impacts disease processes

Root-Cause Diagnosis

• Identify underlying drivers of chronic conditions
• Understand how inflammation and deficiencies affect the body
• Learn differential diagnosis from a nutritional perspective

Laboratory Testing & Interpretation

• Order the correct lab tests
• Interpret lab results with clinical precision
• Connect lab findings to real patient symptoms

You will learn how to translate lab data into actionable treatment plans, a critical skill missing in most training programs.

Nutrition-Focused Physical Examination (NFPE)

• Perform clinical nutrition assessments
• Identify deficiencies through physical signs
• Integrate findings into treatment planning

Build Effective Treatment Plans

• Create structured protocols
• Use nutrition and supplementation strategically
• Address chronic conditions at their source

The course teaches how to develop scientific, repeatable treatment plans that target root causes rather than symptoms.

Conditions You Will Learn to Treat

The ACN system is designed to help providers treat:

• Chronische pijn
• Fibromyalgie
• Autoimmune conditions
• allergieën
• Stofwisselingsziekten
• Ontstekingsaandoeningen

These are the types of cases that often fail traditional care but respond when root causes are addressed.

What Is Included

• 18+ hours of video-based training
• Downloadable evaluation forms and protocols
• Patient handouts and diet plans
• Clinical reference materials
• 1-year access to the course
• 20 CEU credits

The curriculum is designed to function like five college-level courses combined into one system.

Who This Course Is For

The ACN course is designed for:

• Physical therapists
• Chiropractors
• Massage therapists
• Functional medicine practitioners
• Healthcare providers of all levels

No advanced scientific background is required.

The course takes you from foundational knowledge to advanced clinical application.

Why This Course Was Created

Dr. Joseph Jacobs developed the ACN course after recognizing a major problem:

• Patients were not improving long-term
• Chronic conditions were not resolving
• Traditional approaches were incomplete

After integrating clinical nutrition and lab-based evaluation:

• Patient outcomes dramatically improved
• Success rates increased significantly
• Chronic conditions became treatable

This course was built to give providers the exact system that changed those outcomes.

What Makes ACN Different

Most nutrition courses teach:

• General dietary advice

ACN teaches:

• Clinical application
• Lab-driven decision making
• Root-cause treatment strategies

This is the difference between:

• Knowing nutrition
• And using nutrition to treat disease

A System That Integrates with ASTR

The ACN course is designed to work alongside:

• ASTR soft tissue treatment
• ASTR tools and protocols
• Chronic pain treatment systems

Together, they address both:

• Structural dysfunction (ASTR)
• Internal drivers like inflammation and metabolism (ACN)

This creates a complete, integrated treatment model.

Results Providers Experience

Providers who complete ACN often report:

• Improved patient outcomes
• Ability to treat complex conditions
• Increased confidence in diagnosis
• Higher patient satisfaction
• Practice growth and increased income

The goal is simple:

Give you the ability to solve problems other providers cannot.

Self-Paced, Flexible Learning

• 100% online
• Self-paced format
• Designed for busy professionals
• Immediate application in clinical practice

This allows you to start implementing what you learn right away.

Why Advanced Clinical Nutrition Matters

Chronic diseases account for the majority of global health issues, and many are driven by lifestyle and nutritional factors.

Without proper training in nutrition:

• Providers miss root causes
• Treatments remain incomplete
• Outcomes are limited

ACN fills this gap.

Start Treating at a Higher Level

If you are ready to:

• Move beyond symptom-based care
• Understand the true drivers of disease
• Deliver long-term results
• Transform your clinical outcomes

De Cursus Geavanceerde klinische voeding gives you the system to do it.
