Welcome to GHT Academy
GHT Academy is dedicated to offering an expansive array of live and on-demand training programs, meticulously crafted to support healthcare practitioners at every stage of their professional journey. Whether you’re seeking to deepen your knowledge, refine your clinical skills, or explore new methodologies of working with your clients, our curriculum is designed with your growth and success in mind. We understand that the demands of modern healthcare require more than just theoretical knowledge—practitioners need not only the competence but the confidence to apply this knowledge in real-life scenarios. This is where the magic of GHT Academy lies.
​
For over a decade, our founder, Katie Morra, dedicated her career to the intricacies of functional medicine, immersing herself in some of the most advanced and prestigious training programs available. And while grateful for every opportunity that she had, she could not help but notice a significant gap that persisted across many of these programs: the practical, day-to-day application of putting this clinical knowledge into action in our businesses. This was particularly true of utilizing functional tests and not one-size fits all protocols in real-world scenarios.
​
Katie's path diverged somewhat uniquely in that she was fortunate enough to work directly with thousands of functional medicine patients over several years. This wasn’t just a chance to apply what she had learned through trainings; it was an opportunity to delve deeply into the nuances of clinical labs, to observe patterns, and to see firsthand what worked—and what didn’t—in various scenarios. This hands-on experience allowed Katie to refine and perfect protocols that are not only theoretically sound but have been proven effective through real-world application. We understand that not every clinician has the opportunity to accumulate this level of practical experience early in their careers, and this is precisely why GHT Academy was born.

“I always love working with and collaborating with Katie! She takes such a scientific yet down to earth approach to all her education around gut health itself and how it interacts with other systems in the body like the thyroid. She makes it easy to understand and actionable for everyone!”

"I’ve had all the same questions you’ve had. I've learned from all the same people you’ve learned from. I’ve done the same trainings you have. I still find the information I have learned from Katie to be more invaluable. I have gained more knowledge about how to treat the gut and body than I did in my graduate program. It changed who I am as a clinician and I couldn’t imagine my life without it."
— Kira Guarino MS, CNS, LDN,
