Holistic, functional, and naturopathic providers are seeing a major shift in patient expectations. More people are arriving at clinic doors asking for therapies that feel innovative, personalized, and aligned with the body’s natural healing capacity. They are often frustrated by conventional care that has not fully addressed the root of their symptoms, and they are actively seeking practitioners who can guide them toward thoughtful, integrative options.
That is where Dr. Jernigan’s Induced Natural Phage Therapy, or INPT, can become a meaningful part of your practice. This approach offers a unique way to support the body’s internal terrain and is increasingly of interest to clinics that already provide peptides, red light therapy, IV therapy, BHRT, and other regenerative services. For the right patient population, INPT fits naturally into a comprehensive, whole-person care model.
What Is Induced Natural Phage Therapy?
Induced Natural Phage Therapy is not the same as conventional phage therapy that introduces outside phages in the context of infection care. Instead, INPT is designed as a distinct, terrain-oriented approach that works differently from the model many clinicians associate with bacteriophage applications. It is best understood as a tool intended to stimulate healing responses from within, rather than a replacement for standard antimicrobial or infection-based protocols.
That distinction matters for both providers and patients. In functional and naturopathic settings, there is growing demand for therapies that support resilience, recovery, and restoration without relying solely on a symptom-suppression model. INPT aligns with that philosophy by offering another layer of support for complex, chronic presentations that often require multi-modal care.
How Inducen® Formulas Fit Into Clinical Care
PhagenCorp’s Inducen® formulas are part of the INPT framework and are designed to support patients facing a range of chronic health concerns. In functional practice, they may be considered as part of a comprehensive plan for patients dealing with Lyme, CIRS, Mold Toxicity, gut issues, and related complex presentations. This is not an exhaustive list, and clinicians are encouraged to explore the website to learn more about the many potential applications.
These formulas are especially relevant in practices where patients are dealing with overlapping patterns such as immune dysregulation, persistent fatigue, digestive complaints, environmental exposures, or a history of difficult-to-resolve symptoms. Because chronic conditions rarely exist in isolation, providers need tools that can complement their broader therapeutic strategy.
Who Can Offer Phage Therapy Through This Program?
If you are wondering whether you are eligible to offer phage therapy to your patients, the answer depends on licensure and scope of practice. This program is currently available to licensed healthcare professionals, including MD, DO, ND, DC, DDS, DVM, NP, PA, and other state-recognized designations with appropriate scope of practice.
That means many functional and naturopathic providers may be able to participate, provided they meet the program requirements and practice within their professional boundaries. As with any clinical offering, it is important to understand your responsibilities, training requirements, and the appropriate way to integrate the therapy into your workflow.
The Path to Access
Getting started is straightforward. PhagenCorp has created a process that helps ensure providers are properly prepared before offering INPT to patients. The goal is to make access organized, professional, and aligned with responsible clinical use.
Step 1: Fill Out the Registration
The first step is to register for the program. This establishes your interest and begins the process of evaluating whether the therapy is a fit for your practice. It also helps your team take the first practical step toward expanding your clinical toolkit.
Step 2: Complete INPT Training
Training is an essential part of the process. It helps providers understand the foundation of INPT, how it differs from conventional phage approaches, and how to discuss it with patients in a clear and responsible way. Education is especially important when introducing a therapy that many patients may not yet fully understand.
Step 3: Pass the Access Assessment
After training, you will complete the Access Assessment. Once approved, you will be able to order your Inducen® formulas and open access to this therapy for your patients. This final step helps ensure that providers are prepared to integrate INPT thoughtfully and confidently into their practice.
