It’s one thing to earn a diploma or a degree in the field of your choice but it’s another to find employment or set up a successful business in your chosen field. GCNM is not your regular college, teaching theory only and leaving graduates to fend for themselves when it comes to setting up a business or finding work. Through our curriculum, additional resources and regular online workshops and seminars, we’ll give you all the tools you’ll need to actually make money in the ever-growing field of Natural Medicine.

At GCNM we even go one step further and will also assist students and graduates in setting up their own websites. Many of GCNM’s graduates have gone on to build successful businesses in the field of alternative medicine. Below we feature just some of their websites. (If you are a GCNM student or graduate and would like your website displayed on this page, please contact student support.)

The Fat Loss Coach Online
Go to the website

In 1992, a dramatic nutritional discovery was made in the small New England town of Cheshire, CT., that has changed the way thousands approach losing weight and managing overall health.

The inventor of this nutritional breakthrough is nutritionist Charlie Remington. What Remington discovered was a way to hormonally influence the body to lose fat, without the loss of lean muscle tissue or a reduction in metabolism. What made this so unique is that participants in his discovery were not responding the way they would on most conventional diets.

The medical profession sees the program as a healthy alternative to dieting. In addition to losing fat, the program has been effective at lowering cholesterol, triglyceride, and blood sugar levels.
