Learn Evidence-Based Natural Medicine & Anecdotal Theory
What's Holistic Medicine?
Holistic medicine is a model of care that emphasizes the integration of body, mind, and spirit. It aligns these core elements with an approach that both humanizes and deepens the client-provider experience. A holistic perspective in practice focuses on the uniqueness of each person's bio-individuality and responsibility for their health. It simultaneously takes a whole-person approach, addressing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Predictive Autoimmunity & Symptom Reversal
We theorize that most people are autoimmune or pre-autoimmune these days, thus the high rates of cancer, thyroid disease, and autoimmunity. We can test blood biomarkers early on and take preventative measures, as autoimmunity is often years in the making. Functionally-trained holistic doctors, physicians, and chiropractors practice functional blood chemistry and test for these very insights, but conventional doctors don't use functional medicine. They treat you after you've reached the diagnosable disease state instead of the pre-disease state when preventative measures are no longer viable because this is what the insurance model demands. We insist that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Inside the broken insurance model, you practically have to beg for testing and claim symptomatology, proving you need a test. Functional-trained providers order tests as a matter of their practice model as a preventative measure. And, yes. Functional testing is more expensive than free insurance testing but not as expensive as autoimmunity.
What's Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine means getting up close and personal, getting under the microscope, and targeting, reversing, and eliminating root causes. Did you know that most conventional medical providers know nothing about functional blood chemistry, something that you will become well-versed in? In fact, functional medicine is woven throughout the fabric of every aspect of our coursework.
We coined the term, 'functional holistic medicine,' because people need both.



Learn how to target, reverse, and eliminate root causes.





What's Conventional Medicine?
Conventional medicine is best suited for emergency medical care, such as surgery, stitches, or prescriptions, without which you can't survive. However, acute care practice models are still in need of a reformation as many routine practices leave a lot to be desired for those who want a more holistic medical model even in the emergency room. Conventional medicine can also be helpful for those elective or legitimately needed cosmetic procedures some of us feel like we literally can't live without. Still, unless functionally trained, conventional medical providers generally take a reductionist view of health in diagnosing and treating chronic disease, which usually involves medication or surgical intervention to remove the offending body part or organ. Prescription drugs are the educational foundation of conventional medical practice where health concerns are treated in isolation vs. in unity of the whole person. Sadly, according to John Hopkins University, conventional medicine is the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States due to medical errors. It's safe to say that some degree of med school and practice ethics reform are needed.
TOUR THE TRI-DOCTORATE®
Integrate 5 Holistic Doctorates in One Clinical Practice
How They Differ
A functional and holistic practice model takes a multi-factorial approach based on the unity of one's combined essence and environmental exposome. At Rockwell, we unify and merge skills from 5 holistic doctorates to execute this process. This model bases any evaluation on the belief that the person and their environment mutually influence the other. It defines health as a state of complete mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, not merely the absence of disease. For better or worse, people's health is affected not only by nutrition, diet, stress, and genetics but also by their intrapersonal relationships. Our providers target all of these areas and more with Ideal Health Theory®.
TOUR THE TRI-DOCTORATE®
Get in on the ground level and pioneer an industry niche of your choosing. The idea of creating a niche can provoke anxiety, but a niche really ends up being something you're naturally obsessed with or something you've lived through, and you want to help others deal with the same key issue because you excel at it. Easy enough, right?

Rockwell is multi-disciplinary, which means your practice will be, too.

You'll learn how to integrate naturopathy, herbalism, nutrition, spiritual health, and functional medicine all under one practice. We work for our client's highest and best good. That means when they leave us, they leave healthier than they were when they arrived. And they don't need to see anyone else, unless it's an extenuating circumstance.

a welcome message from our founder
Rockwell was born of the need for an ideal holistic provider and the ideal holistic educator to teach the provider.
In this vision, my goal was to help co-create the most in-demand, highly qualified, and sought-after holistic health practitioners in the world. Our educational foundation was built on the premise that everyone deserves the chance to manifest their ideal health, and the public deserves holistic providers they can completely trust.
That's why Rockwell goes above and beyond to become the best of the best in practice theory and ethics. Rockwell graduates become societal catalysts, who influence others through a cascade of truth and knowledge.
They're the guiding lights that bring holistic medicine into each and every household across the globe, giving hope to the masses for new and improved conditions across societies near and far. That's what we're doing. And what about you? Will you help us light the world in hope and healing?
The world needs you, and by that, I mean the people and the planet and all the innocent, gentle things on and a part of it, near-extinct plant, animal, and insect species, the waterways, the trees, land, air, and sea, all trying to survive through what's been known for decades as the sixth mass extinction, an event where nature is dying off at unprecedented rates.
All is not lost, because our graduates make a difference in leading the way and helping to educate their clients and others by default through their practice. You're needed now more than any time in history to help raise awareness that there's a better, safer alternative to conventional medicine.
And you're needed now more than ever to help protect the defenseless as a voice of reason in health care. Every move you make as a holistic provider influences those around you.
When you become a part of the natural health industry, you'll stand up for safe, non-toxic, natural medicine that doesn't harm people or the planet like the current medical industrial complex.
Just think about all the excess pharmaceuticals in the waterways that come out in tap water...
See graduate Dr. Laura Miranda Norris' dissertation on this very subject if you want more info on persistent and pseudo-persistent pollutants in the waterways.
Consummate pollutants like mercury are everywhere in the modern-day human, plant, and animal exposome. Our water contains pollutants that carry environmental causal factors like bromide, fluoride, and chlorine.
I know firsthand how overwhelming it can be, but as holistic doctors, we set a precedent for others to follow, evolve, learn, and grow in ways that will serve our planet forever.
As a Rockwell-Certified Holistic Provider, R-CHP®, you'll influence everyone you meet and help heal the planet through every interaction you make in an ever-cascading, reverberating butterfly effect for the greater good.
Rebels, revolutionaries, change agents, and visionaries are needed to help reshape, rebuild, and reimagine a more utopic society from the ground up.
It starts here, and it starts with you. Welcome to your future alma mater, visionary. With support for all that you do, all that you are, and all that you're becoming...
