Testimonials

I absolutely loved and got so much out of the SQS course! There are so many supplements out there and I love having tools in my tool belt to help me discern which supplements might be best for each individual client. I really enjoy the “real talk” and the focus on using your own critical thinking skills as well as sharing clinical pearls. I love being able to have open discussions, to learn from Kate’s years of clinical experience, and to sharpen my own discernment skills as I move forward in my own practice. There were so many nuggets of wisdom that I will take with me for years to come!

Enrolling in Kate Mahoney’s Supplement Academy has been one of the absolute best investments I’ve made. Kate is brilliant, incredibly smart, and brings a wonderful sense of humor to her teaching that makes complex information so accessible. She doesn't just hand you answers; she teaches you how to be a true 'supplement sleuth' and think critically about what you're putting into your body. What stands out most about Kate is her deep integrity. The entire curriculum is completely unbiased and agenda-free, which is incredibly rare and refreshing in this industry. She is genuinely kind and so generous with the wealth of knowledge she shares. Beyond the incredible course content, the ongoing support and community she has built are invaluable. Kate fosters an environment that encourages open dialogue and truly welcomes different perspectives. If you want to cut through the noise and learn from someone with heart and wisdom, this is it.

If you want to sharpen your critical thinking skills and be able to decipher the overwhelming world of supplements, this is the course for you! Kate provides all of the tools you need to choose and recommend supplements with the knowledge and nuance that is needed to support our clients' health. I completed the Supplement Quality Specialist certification course and it was one of the best investments I made in my continuing education as a wellness practitioner. I find myself continually referring back to what I have learned and seeking support from colleagues in the FB graduate group, who are an amazing group of caring, knowledgeable practitioners in their own right. AND, besides the invaluable education, Kate is a nuanced, thoughtful, caring instructor as well as a wonderful human being❤️ I am grateful for benefiting from her immense knowledge and want other practitioners to benefit as well! We all need to continually learn and be open to new knowledge, right?!?! I hope you check out Kate's course and find out how invaluable this information is to your practice 😊

I'm not kidding when I say the Supplement Academy completely transformed the way I work. I didn’t realize how valuable it would be until I noticed myself using Kate's teachings every single day with clients, family, and even in my own wellness. The clarity, depth, and practical application she teaches gave me a level of confidence and discernment I didn’t know I was missing, and it ended up being one of the most impactful investments I’ve made in my practice.

No more supplement graveyards! Kate empowers her students to critically evaluate supplement quality, recognize red and green flags in supplement company communications and product information, determine their own quality standards, and in the FSS program, learn to apply a functional nutrition-based system to strategically prioritize supplement recommendations. No other course has come close to the depth and breadth of content taught at the Supplement Academy. Kate's expertise and generosity with her knowledge and clinical experience are unmatched, making her the go-to expert in the field of supplements.

I just finished taking Kate Mahoney's Supplement Academy course and I learned so much! I enrolled in the SQS + FSS course bundle. Not only did I receive so many more resources than I could have imagined, but the information taught in the courses seriously took my knowledge, confidence, and training to the next level. The content was thorough, very organized, and challenged me in so many great ways. Kate was an amazing instructor: kind, patient, professional, empowering, and man does she know her stuff. I am already using what I've learned with clients in my practice. Warning: You will have your mind blown and grow as a practitioner in many ways. 😉 I highly recommend these courses!

Kate Mahoney is an exceptional instructor who brings a rare combination of deep expertise, thorough research, and genuine passion to her supplement education course. Her ability to break down complex topics — from ingredient quality to efficacy — in a clear and organized way makes the material not only easy to understand but immediately applicable. Since taking her course, I feel significantly more confident in my practice and rely on the well-curated information she provides to better guide and support my clients. If you're looking to elevate your knowledge of supplements with guidance you can truly trust, Kate is absolutely the instructor for you.

In my experience, I feel Kate’s FSS course should be required continuing education for all graduates of the NTA! Her very comprehensive course is WAY more than just learning about supplements. She sets you up for success- not only in the FSS course; (test anxiety? - no worries! Kate ensures you will succeed!) And, you will graduate from her course with new skills to move forward as a successful practitioner working with 1:1 clients. As a graduate of the NTA and an FNTP, I feel like Kate’s course filled in the missing pieces of my education with the NTA . Her FSS course taught me specifics of how to work with 1:1 clients in a practical way that uses the NAQ and teaches how to assess a client's needs based on the particular training you may have. (Functional assessment or labs). After teaching only in group settings since my graduation, I finally feel like I have the skills to begin working successfully with private clients after graduating from FSS. Thank you, Kate, for being not only an incredibly knowledgeable and inspiring teacher, but also for being such a kind, caring, and compassionate person! If you are considering the next step in your nutrition education as an NTP- this is it!

I'm not sure I can even find the words for how amazing Kate and her Supplement Academy program/community is, but I will certainly try. First, Kate is a wealth of knowledge and experience, but beyond that it's clear that her passion, empathy and mission elevate everything she does to the next level. Her course is comprehensive, unbiased (and this is extremely important to me), and will provide you with an ongoing resource for as long as you need it (which is likely to be forever in my case!). But my favorite thing that I gained from connecting with Kate and taking her course was a community of supportive and likeminded individuals who want to do better than what the conventional medical, pharmaceutical, and supplement worlds have to offer. Members of the Supplement Academy community clearly enjoy teaching and sharing their knowledge for the betterment of others, and this is something I find invaluable. Everything I have gained far outweighs what I thought I was getting when I purchased this course, which is why I have no qualms in saying that this was likely the best continuing education I have ever done in my 15 year healthcare career. 10000/10 recommend

These are some of the best courses I have ever taken and I believe every health professional should take these courses. SQS and FSS have more than enough information to fill a university course presented in a non-overwhelming manner. While this is great, that's not all! Kate has also pioneered an efficient assessment process that is both more accurate and easier on the client than any course I have previously taken. These courses are the "one – two punch" combination all holistic practitioners need to be truly confident in their work.

Kate's Supplement Academy courses are a gem. They are very well structured, detailed, and informative, and I don't know how Kate packs so much information in, but she does. She even does it in a way that's not too overwhelming, providing everything you need, including the ability to reach out for support as needed and ask questions as they come up. You walk away with these nuggets and knowledge that you're able to apply to your practice in whatever way works best for you. Kate makes sure you can thrive in your practice or profession and make it even better with the knowledge you have about supplements. Just go ahead and dive in. I promise you, you will not regret it. And her teaching style is superb. You're gonna love it!

Kate Mahoney’s SQS course is a must-take for every health professional who recommends supplements. From supplement laws, to manufacturing practices, to an in-depth understanding of all the different supplement categories, this class is a treasure trove of information. Kate provides multiple teaching modalities adaptable to every learning style. Kate has outdone herself! There is no fluff. It’s all relevant, clinically useful and immediately applicable. I feel completely empowered to use my new knowledge to make informed decisions for myself and my clients. The value of the SQS course far exceeded my expectations!

Christina Sanders, MSN, RN, ANP-BC, NTP, SQS of Nutrition NP

These courses are a treasure box to me! As a practitioner who works mostly with foods, the courses have drastically increased my confidence in the knowledge and application of supplements. They added great value to my health coaching services!

There is so much to love about the Supplement Academy courses! I have gained the knowledge to confidently navigate the world of supplements and to be able to identify quality over junk just by looking at a label. Not only did I learn to identify the best bioavailable supplement options, I learned a systematic approach to create truly bioindividual protocols that gets clients results while addressing the root cause of chronic conditions. The Supplement Academy and its community has been so supportive and has helped me grow as a practitioner!

Becky Latorre MEd, RDH, FNTP, FSS, BCHN of Hopefound Wellness

The SQS and FSS courses were some of the best courses I have ever taken - and I have taken MANY! The knowledge and information in the courses complement my NTA training so well. Kate gives so much in the learning material with adequate detail and the additional resources are invaluable. The SQS course has completely changed how I evaluate supplement quality and determine what factors are important to me for supplement recommendations to my clients. The FSS course builds upon the foundations to provide even clearer pathways for addressing root causes for clients by providing such a clear step by step approach to eliminating barriers in working with clients while bringing to light any blind spots that we should be aware of as practitioners. I am absolutely thrilled to integrate this knowledge learned into my practice to better serve my clients. I highly, highly recommend the courses to anyone interested as they will not regret the investment!

This course is THE BEST! I can read and assess supplement labels at a glance. I have the tools to investigate ingredients I am unfamiliar with. I can access in-depth analysis about numerous ingredients and supplements. This is not just a course that stops after a few weeks… IT’S A COMMUNITY AND AN EVOLVING CONVERSATION ABOUT THE QUALITY OF NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS!

Jo Douglas, Advanced Bowen Therapist
of Stepping Stones to Health

These courses are so incredibly empowering! They give you the knowledge, confidence, and expertise to select products that are both high in quality and efficacy. I use to rely on supplements recommended by other medical resources, colleagues, or so called “experts” in the field. No longer! I NOW have the power and knowledge to make selections based on my own chosen high quality of standards. I can’t recommend Kate’s classes highly enough! If not for your clients, then take these courses simply for yourself. I promise, you’ll never look at a supplement label the same way again!

Jamie Krause FNTP, RWP, FSS
of Health In Bloom

I signed up for Kate’s courses because I know she’s a wealth of supplement information and has exceptionally high quality standards. Having moved to the EU, I wanted to be able to identify high quality supplements locally and the SQS course did exactly that. The FSS Program is the course I didn’t know I needed! It filled in any gaps I had from my Nutrition training - allowing for targeted nutritional intervention in the right sequence, for the right duration and knowing when it is appropriate to refer out for other forms of therapies that can support a client meeting their health goals. There are very few programs out there that do this.
