Our story
Damien (Yusuf) Zielinski BA, CNP, FDN-P, CFMP, began his nutrition journey in 2017, first becoming certified as a holistic nutritionist (CNP). Next he trained as a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner (FDN-P) before being educated in functional medicine (CFMP). His 1:1 clinical work with nutrition clients began in 2018, and he has worked with hundreds of clients since. He has also written articles for various supplement companies and recipe developers. Since 2019 he has worked as a functional medicine practitioner in various clinical settings both virtually and in-person.
AQL Nutrition
Recognizing the importance of education in Zielinski’s clinical work, he founded AQL Nutrition in 2023 to address a serious problem: currently existing nutrition courses are falling way short of the mark.
In most cases they are needlessly extensive, or they tend to radically mismanage priorities, and in almost all cases they are historically blind and culturally tonedeaf.
AQL Nutrition constitutes an attempt to reinvent nutrition education, for everyone, the way it ought to be!
