The Story Behind the Academy
I built GHT Academy because I was tired of watching brilliant practitioners struggle to connect the dots. I knew there had to be a better way -
better trainings, better tools. This work deserves clarity, confidence, and community. So I took over a decade of clinical experience, my background in nutrition, functional medicine, psychology, and education, and built exactly that.
Meet Katie Morra MS, RD, LDN, FMCP
Katie Morra is a board-certified Registered Dietitian and Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner with over a decade of clinical experience treating complex chronic illness. She is known for her ability to solve the cases that fall through the cracks of conventional care; and for teaching other practitioners how to do the same with confidence and clarity.
Katie’s work sits at the intersection of deep clinical expertise and real-world application. Her approach is grounded in evidence-based functional medicine, with a focus on translating complex lab data into practical, effective protocols that drive meaningful patient outcomes.
A Foundation Built on Science and Clinical Rigor
