Making Complex Biochemistry Understandable
Organic Acids Interpretation • Clinical Nutrition Education • Mentored Healing
I'm Dr. Gail Clayton, DCN, CNS, MS, RPh, LDN. After more than 25 years as a clinical pharmacist, I earned a Doctorate in Clinical Nutrition and devoted my work to nutritional biochemistry. Today I teach Functional Biochemistry of Nutrition at the University of Bridgeport, write books on Organic Acids interpretation, and train practitioners to understand the biochemistry behind their lab results.
My mission is to help practitioners and health seekers understand why the body is struggling, so they can make more informed decisions.

Signature Specialty
Organic Acids Interpretation
Every organic acid on a report reflects a specific metabolic pathway. My teaching goes beyond identifying abnormal laboratory markers: I help practitioners understand the biochemical pathways, metabolic patterns, and nutrient cofactors behind each result, and apply sound clinical reasoning to what they see.
The Organic Acids course is approved by the Board for Certification of Nutrition Specialists (BCNS) for 5.5 contact CE hours for Certified Nutrition Specialists.
Organic Acids + Amino Acids Courses
The complete practitioner training: organic acids interpretation and amino acid metabolism, taught through the biochemical pathways, nutrient cofactors, and clinical applications behind every result.
Organic Acids Interpretation Book Series
Focused, practical books that walk through key pathways and marker patterns, written to help practitioners interpret results with greater clarity and confidence.
