Woods Core Pathways — Full Certification
The complete foundation, and where every practitioner begins. Across two levels — Foundations (the framework, the hingepins, and how the method reasons from terrain to intervention) and Applied Pathways (pathway-by-pathway depth and the genetics beneath them) — you learn the full reasoning system: the Four Horsemen, the Four Hingepins, and the Six Pathway System. By the end, you can read any individual's own data and know which pathways are actually driving their case. Required before any specialty.

Gut Microbiome Protocol (GMP) — Full Certification
The complete gut specialty, and the deep-dive on the pathway the data lands on most. Three levels take you from why dysbiosis develops and how to assess the gut, through the Seed, Net, Clear & Maintain method and its interventions by component, to advanced sequencing, genetic accommodations, monitoring, and the final competency assessment. By the end, you can run the full gut protocol for the person in front of you. Builds on Woods Core Pathways.

Woods Core Certification Bundle— the foundation, required first. Teaches the reasoning method at the center of the Woods approach: the Four Horsemen, the Four Hingepins, and the Six Pathway System, and how to read each person's own data to find what's driving their case.

• Level 1 — Foundations: The framework, the hingepins, and how the method reasons from terrain to intervention.

• Level 2 — Applied Pathways: Pathway-by-pathway depth and the genetics that run beneath them.

• Level 3 - Ongoing Maintenance and Retesting: The discipline of testing and revising that hypothesis against how the person actually responds.

Level 2 Certification in the Woods Methodology concentrates on

Application of the Pathways methodology

After the pathways are identified through current research and advancements in health optimization, how are they applied for the benefit of an individual wanting to improve their health outcomes? Why are the prominent pathways so impactful for health optimization? What do the pathways highlight about an individual’s health?

Level 2 — Applied Pathways: Pathway-by-pathway depth and the genetics that run beneath them.

*Prerequisite: Requires Woods Core Pathways Certification Level 2.

Level 1 taught you to read the person. Level 2 taught you to build the protocol. Level 3 teaches you to run it — to manage a person over time as their biology responds and their terrain changes.

A protocol is a living hypothesis, not a finished object. Level 3 is the discipline of testing and revising that hypothesis against how the person actually responds: defining response in advance, reading it as a trajectory rather than a single snapshot, pacing and titrating change so that cause and effect stay legible, and knowing — when the markers stall — whether to adjust the lever or re-derive the pathways from the reading.

Across fifteen modules and a graded competency assessment, Level 3 covers the monitoring loop in motion; reading response over time; pacing and titration; consolidation, step-down, and maintenance; plateau and non-response; adverse response and reactivity; re-deriving as the terrain changes; managing across the four long-term outcomes on their different clocks; coordinating with the person's physicians; the human factors of adherence and cost; and documentation and versioning of the longitudinal record. It closes with three worked longitudinal cases.

On completion you hold the full three-level Core credential: read, build, and practice.

Gut Microbiome Protocol (GMP) Certification — the first specialty, builds on Woods Core Pathways. A full-depth deep-dive on the gut pathway: the Seed, Net, Clear & Maintain protocol.

Master the science of the gut microbiome through a practical, systems-based certification. Learn how to identify the key drivers of gut dysfunction, interpret advanced testing, and build personalized, evidence-informed protocols that support digestive health, immune resilience, metabolism, and the gut-brain connection. This certification equips you with a repeatable framework to confidently assess, restore, and optimize gut health using the Woods Methodology.

• Level 1 — Introductory: Why dysbiosis develops, the operating state of the gut, and assessment.

• Level 2 — Intermediate: The Seed/Net/Clear/Maintain method and the interventions by component.

• Level 3 — Advanced: Sequencing and personalization, genetic accommodations, monitoring, and the final competency assessment.

The APEX Practitioner Tier provides access to:

1) The Precision Protocol BOT that allows you to pull disease state protocols that outline the Four Hingepins and Six Pathways that have been identified by current research data aligned to a proposed supplementation protocol that will address the pathways and move them toward a more healthy state

AND

2) The Individual Protocol BOT that allows you to upload test results and fill out an informational form for an individual client case to perform a research based protocol that pulls the four hingepins and six pathways that are indicated by this person’s test results. This is NOT a diagnostic tool, but a tool that aligns the supplementation protocol to the indications shown on the testing - by digging deep into research databases aligned to the best outcomes.

PRACTITIONERS AT ALL TIMES are responsible for the review and acknowledge their responsibility for the data and its application to their case.

The APEX membership provide FREE Certification as well as direct access to the founder Dr. Lily Woods for case study review and support. This membership is truly for the advanced practitioner that wants to go deep, go faster with their client base and provide amazing and research aligned programs.

The Precision Health Practitioner Membership is a comprehensive clinical support program designed for healthcare practitioners who want to deliver data-driven, personalized health protocols for complex conditions and optimized human performance.

This membership provides practitioners with access to advanced protocol systems, frameworks, and interpretation tools that translate laboratory testing, genetics, metabolomics, and functional diagnostics into precise, individualized intervention strategies.

Rather than relying on generalized treatment approaches, this program equips practitioners with the ability to understand how each patient’s unique biology functions and develop protocols designed specifically for their physiology.
