The world is in a vulnerable place right now. The
standard diet of processed, chemicalized foods
is a global issue being discussed everywhere from
local councils to government cabinets.
Fast food can be found in every corner of the
globe and countries once fighting hunger are now
fighting an obesity epidemic. Solutions come in a
prescription bottle or through surgery.
But there are signs of change. It’s slow, but there is
a revolution happening. A health revolution.
Awareness around food and health issues is
coming to light through documentaries and public
campaigns. Nutrition-focused topics dominate
magazine covers and on the news. Farmers’ markets
are now a staple in most neighborhoods. We are
waking up to reality and taking back control of
our health.
We are at the forefront of a healthier future and it
continues with you.
I have a goal for the year 2020: to have the
world see clearly, with 20/20 vision, that food
changes everything. For over 20 years, we have
educated students on the vital importance of
true nourishment. In turn, Integrative Nutrition
Health Coaches have gone on to educate tens
of thousands more people.
Together, we are creating a ripple effect that is
bringing health and happiness to the world.
As you read through this curriculum guide, I invite
you to imagine how the education and training
at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition can help
you reinvent your life. Health and happiness are
inextricably linked. The better you feed yourself,
the bigger the impact you can have on the world.

THE GLOBAL HEALTH CRISIS
“Health Coaches
can provide
the instruction,
the tools, the
information, and
the facilitation of
behavior change
that leads to
the creation of
health instead of
the suppression
of symptoms or

HOW HEALTH COACHING CAN HELP
A review of thirteen studies found that health coaching significantly
contributed to weight loss and increased physical activity in
overweight patients.7
Patients with diabetes working with a Health Coach achieved
significant improvements in blood sugar levels, exercise, stress levels,
and overall health.8
Patients with coronary heart disease in a coaching program achieved
a significantly greater decrease in total cholesterol.9
In a tobacco cessation study, 32% of patients with Health Coaches
quit smoking compared to 18% of people without coaches.10
Are you ready to make a difference?
The world needs Health Coaches
Rates of preventable chronic illnesses are skyrocketing around the
world. There’s a huge demand for a new kind of health professional
– the Health Coach.
Integrative Nutrition Health Coaches are trained to educate and
support people to find their way to better health. Health coaching
is poised to make a real difference in fighting the global health crisis.

Enjoy Unparalleled Career Flexibility
Many Health Coaches work in their own private practice and have the
flexibility to see clients part-time or full-time, in-person or online, as a
supplement to your current income … it’s up to you.
Find a Variety of Employment Options
In addition to launching their own practices, our graduates find jobs in
doctor’s offices, wellness centers, gyms, and spas. The world needs well-
trained professionals to help people take control of their health.
Earn a Generous Income
Many new graduates charge $100 per hour in their health coaching
practices. You can start seeing paying clients while you’re still in school
and pay back your tuition before you graduate.
Boost Your Existing Wellness Practice
Whether you’re a physician, nurse, yoga instructor, personal trainer, or
chef, training as a Health Coach can help you expand your practice and
improve your services.
MAKE A LIVING DOING THE WORK YOU LOVE
Integrative Nutrition Health Coaches do work that is aligned
with their heart. Enjoy a fulfilling career where you can follow
your passion for healthy living and transform people’s lives.
“The success rate
at my practice is
so much higher
now that we have
Health Coaches.

The Health Coaching Revolution
A Health Coach is a wellness authority and supportive mentor who helps
clients shift their behavior towards healthier habits. Whether the goal
is weight loss, improved digestion, stress reduction, or boosted energy,
Health Coaches support clients to create sustainable lifestyle change.
WHAT IS A HEALTH COACH?
As awareness shifts towards the importance of preventive care, health
coaching fills a void in the current healthcare paradigm. Most doctors lack
the time and resources to help patients achieve their wellness goals.
By addressing all facets of wellness in addition to diet – relationships, career,
physical activity, and spirituality – Integrative Nutrition Health Coaches
take a holistic approach to health and help clients find the unique foods and
lifestyle that make them feel their best.

The Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) was
founded in 1992 by Joshua Rosenthal and is now the
largest nutrition school in the world. Driven by the core
belief that if you can change what people eat, you can
change the world, the Health Coach Training Program
has trained over 60,000 students and graduates in 124
countries around the world.
Not Your Traditional Nutrition School
The Health Coach Training Program is a one-year online course
specially designed for people who are passionate about health and
wellness. In addition to offering cutting-edge nutrition education,
Integrative Nutrition also provides bonus business training that
empowers students to launch their own practice as an Integrative
Nutrition Health Coach.
One-Year Health Coach Training Program
Taught by the world’s leading physicians, researchers, doctors,
and nutrition experts, the Health Coach Training Program
introduces students to over 100 dietary theories as well as personal
development philosophy, coaching techniques, and holistic concepts
you won’t find in a traditional nutrition school.

Visiting Teacher
Primary Food
At Integrative Nutrition, we have a philosophy about
food – everything we consider a source of nutrition
is really just a secondary source of nourishment. The
foods you eat are secondary to the other aspects of life
that feed you. This is what we call primary food.
At Integrative Nutrition, we teach you how to improve
your own primary food and talk to clients about all
aspects of their lives. It’s essential to good health.
RELATIONSHIPS
You can eat all the broccoli in the world, but the quality of your relationships
with family, friends, and coworkers explains a lot about the quality of your life.
Cultivate relationships that support your wants and needs.
CAREER
Most people spend 8-10 hours a day, five days a week at work. Are you
passionate about your job? Do you love who you work with? Finding work you
enjoy is essential to living a healthy, balanced life.
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Our bodies thrive on movement and quickly degenerate without it. Exercise
can be simple, such as getting off the subway or bus one stop early. Making
physical activity a daily habit greatly increases your health and happiness.
SPIRITUALITY
We all search for meaning in our lives, and feeling at one with the world can
satisfy that longing. Some people follow their traditional religion of birth
while others explore new traditions. Spiritual nutrition can feed us on a very
deep level and diminish cravings for the superficial rewards of life.
What Feeds Your Hunger for Life?
Integrative Nutrition goes way beyond the USDA nutrition
guidelines and covers cutting-edge nutrition concepts, alternative
medicine, and modern health issues you won’t find in a traditional
nutrition program.
THE HEALTH COACH TRAINING PROGRAM
Bio-individuality
There’s no one diet for everyone – this is the
core principle of the Integrative Nutrition
curriculum. Students explore the pros and
cons of over 100 dietary theories and learn
how to create personalized approaches to
food and lifestyle
Superfoods
Learn about the anti-oxidant rich fruits.
Certain foods are powerful enough to lower
cholesterol, reduce the risk of heart disease
and cancer, and improve your mood. Learn
about the antioxidant rich fruits, vegetables,
and whole grains lining the shelves of your
health food store.
Organic and Local Foods
Discover how organic, non-organic,
commercial, and locally sourced meat
and produce are different, and learn how
farming methods can impact your health
and the environment.
Emotional Eating
Many people try to heal sadness,
depression, and anxiety with food; this
tactic can easily lead to overeating and
unwanted weight gain. Explore the
connection between food and emotions.
Government Policies
Why are unhealthy foods cheaper than
healthy foods in the United States? Learn
about government subsidies, campaign
contributions, and the pros and cons of
the USDA’s dietary guidelines.
Global Health Crisis
Rates of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular
disease continue to skyrocket. We spend an
exorbitant amount of money on medications
and operations, but very little time learning
prevention and education. Learn how you can
reverse this trend.
School Food and Childhood
Obesity
School food has long been blamed as the
number-one cause of childhood obesity.
Learn about new programs being launched
to control this issue and how you can make a
difference.
Deconstructing Cravings
Many people believe that cravings
are problem, but Integrative Nutrition
believes that cravings play a critical role in
understanding what the body needs. You
will learn how to satisfy and manage these
cravings in healthy ways.
Crowding Out
Most nutrition experts give their clients
a list of foods to avoid, which explains
why so many people are turned off by
nutrition. “Crowding out” involves adding
more healthy food to your diet rather
than cutting back on foods you enjoy.
Energetics of Food
Food has distinct qualities and energetic
properties that affect your body depending
on where, when, and how it’s grown and
prepared. Learn how different foods may
affect the way you feel.
Food/Mood Connection
Scientific research shows that what we eat
affects how we think, feel, and act. Get the
tools to deconstruct why you feel a certain
way after eating a certain food to find what
works best for you.
Nutrition Science
Our curriculum reviews basic concepts
in human anatomy and how our digestive
systems function. We provide a general
introduction to inflammation, digestion,
blood sugar imbalance, metabolism,
epigenetics, endocrine health, autoimmune
disorders, and more.

“As a coach, I work passionately to guide
busy women towards a more simple
and balanced approach to healthy eating
and living.”
There was a time in my life when I was reaching for toxic
foods, substances and relationships that depleted my sense
of well-being. My life-changing transformation began by
learning about the powers and healing capabilities of clean
eating.
I decided to make a career out of this passion and was
eventually introduced to Integrative Nutrition. Through
this life-changing program, I learned about the power
of food and what it meant to create real nourishment in ALL
areas of life! I am now able to infuse my coaching practice
with this same approach.
“Start a natural food
company. Those were
the words I wrote down
while at IIN.”
My goal was simple. I wanted to provide healthier, better-
tasting alternatives to what was currently on the market.
I was just learning about all these powerful superfoods and
realized they weren’t being incorporated into products on
the grocery shelf. So I set out to recreate the most delicious
food products using these nutrient-rich ingredients.
Our goal is to continue to redefine the standards of
packaged foods.
“It was about
changing my mindset,
my lifestyle, and
my relationship with
food – forever.”
Integrative Nutrition’s program gave me the confidence
to leave my job, build my dream, be featured on radio
and television, and become recognized as an expert in
my field. After 13 long years working in information
technology, who knew that work could be so much fun
and inspiring? I love being a Health Coach, and thank
IIN for the amazing life I now live.

“Skincare might not
change the world, but
shouldn’t it at least try?”
You do want great skin, but you don’t want to hurt yourself
or the planet to get it. And that’s why I started S.W. Basics.
I primarily wanted to help people have healthier skin
naturally. But our goal is bigger: to make products that
contribute to the overall health of our communities by
supporting family farmers, small American manufacturers,
and values-driven partners. The days of “every company for
itself” are over, so we want to make sure that every time a
customer supports us, they’re getting to support awesome
businesses all along our supply chain.
“We promote collaboration and
cooperation in the kitchen, and
believe that each person has unique
skills and perspectives that can add
value to any situation.”
Through our combined background in education and public
health, and from inspiration and support from Integrative
Nutrition, we founded The Cookbook Project. We use a
train-the-trainer model to equip educators to empower
youth to make healthier food choices, expand their palates,
and most importantly, cook! It is our vision that through our
innovative food literacy education program, we can create
healthier and more sustainable communities worldwide.
We especially love training other Health Coaches
interested in sharing their skills with youth in order to
continue the IIN ripple effect!

“We want to take you on a journey
towards healthier habits, through
educational events that teach you
how to integrate the most wholesome
products into your life.”
As an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, food educator
and nutrition consultant, I work with individual clients
and companies on improving their health and well-being
through building an awareness of foods, addressing how we
feed our minds and bodies, direct our energies, identifying
unhealthy lifestyle aspects and making conscious decisions.
At Sprout, we believe in the importance of nutrition
education, at all ages, to fully understand our food and how
it affects our bodies from the inside out.
“I have seen people suffering all over
the world from their diet and lifestyle
choices, and they don’t even know it.”
My health journey began when I was diagnosed with a non-
cancerous brain tumor in 2010. After major neurosurgery,
radiation two years later, and a long road back to recovery,
I decided to take my health into my own hands – and
discovered Integrative Nutrition.
I was the young rider that lived off Hostess treats, two-
liter Dr. Pepper, and processed foods. Once I started
to make changes to my diet, I saw major changes in my
physical health, my recovery, my strength, my thinking and
processing, and my riding improved!

I healed myself.”
After years of dealing with a variety of health issues,
I finally healed myself through the power of raw food.
My energy shifted, my health drastically improved, eyes
brighter, skin smoother – and in this transformation, I found
my calling! I created my unique wellness coaching system
for indivudals where I share tips and tricks to reaching your
most desirable health goals. My latest venture, Tanya’s
Café, offers a beautiful raw food menu where everything is
organic, hand-picked and raw!

personality who created the New York
Times bestseller I Quit Sugar and the online
8-week program.

Syndey, Australia
“I’m on a mission to
find ways to make
life bigger, more
meaningful, nicer,
smarter, heartier.”
In January 2011, I quit sugar. It started as a gentle
experiment, but my energy, skin and wellness changed so
dramatically, I kept going. Inspired by my own personal
experience, I developed the 8-Week Program, a practical
week-by-week guide full of tips, Meal Plans, advice and
inspiration to quit sugar… for good.
I’ve also authored two best-sellers, I Quit Sugar and I Quit
Sugar For Life. Pretty much everyone who’s completed
them ends up feeling brighter, clearer and much nicer to
be around!

Discover More Than 100
Dietary Theories
Are you confused about all the conflicting nutrition advice out there? We are

different options to find what works best for you. Some of them include:

A flexible approach to eating that strives for
eating healthy foods 90 percent of the time and
allowing 10 percent of the time to eat whatever

Food Changes Everything
Adapted from the original USDA MyPlate, the
Integrative Nutrition Plate focuses on nourishing
food as well as lifestyle choices.
THE INTEGRATIVE NUTRITION PLATE
The Integrative Nutrition Plate emphasizes the importance of local
and organic produce, whole grains, vegetarian and high-quality
animal proteins, healthy plant-based fats, and water. It serves as
a general guideline for healthy eating, but should be adapted and
customized according to what works best for each person.
To complete the picture, the plate is surrounded with lifestyle
factors that create optimal health: relationships, physical activity,
career, and spirituality. Integrative Nutrition encourages people to
look at these aspects of life, which we refer to as primary food, as a
form of of nourishment that can make your life extraordinary.
“The Integrative
Nutrition Plate
is explicit about
what to eat, and
what not to eat.
These details are
essential if the
typical American
diet is going to be
a force for health,
rather than an
impediment to it!”

  • 2. The world is in a vulnerable place right now. The standard diet of processed, chemicalized foods is a global issue being discussed everywhere from local councils to government cabinets. Fast food can be found in every corner of the globe and countries once fighting hunger are now fighting an obesity epidemic. Solutions come in a prescription bottle or through surgery. But there are signs of change. It’s slow, but there is a revolution happening. A health revolution. Awareness around food and health issues is coming to light through documentaries and public campaigns. Nutrition-focused topics dominate magazine covers and on the news. Farmers’ markets are now a staple in most neighborhoods. We are waking up to reality and taking back control of our health. We are at the forefront of a healthier future and it continues with you. I have a goal for the year 2020: to have the world see clearly, with 20/20 vision, that food changes everything. For over 20 years, we have educated students on the vital importance of true nourishment. In turn, Integrative Nutrition Health Coaches have gone on to educate tens of thousands more people. Together, we are creating a ripple effect that is bringing health and happiness to the world. As you read through this curriculum guide, I invite you to imagine how the education and training at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition can help you reinvent your life. Health and happiness are inextricably linked. The better you feed yourself, the bigger the impact you can have on the world. Joshua Rosenthal, MScEd Founder, Director and Primary Teacher Joshua Rosenthal, MScEd Founder, Director And Primary Teacher Your life is happening right now. Now is the time to take action toward accomplishing your dreams and aspirations. Our team is available to talk, listen, and prepare you for a powerful education that will open new and exciting opportunities.

  • 3. 75% of Americans have at least one nutritional deficiency.2 1 in 5 people in the United Arab Emirates have type 2 diabetes.3 70% of South African women have unhealthy levels of body fat.6 34% of Chinese adults have hypertension.5 Cardiovascular disease is responsible for 34% of all deaths in Australia.1 1 in 3 Mexican teenagers are obese.4 THE GLOBAL HEALTH CRISIS “Health Coaches can provide the instruction, the tools, the information, and the facilitation of behavior change that leads to the creation of health instead of the suppression of symptoms or disease.” Mark Hyman, MD Chairman of the Institute for Functional Medicine Integrative Nutrition Visiting Teacher HOW HEALTH COACHING CAN HELP A review of thirteen studies found that health coaching significantly contributed to weight loss and increased physical activity in overweight patients.7 Patients with diabetes working with a Health Coach achieved significant improvements in blood sugar levels, exercise, stress levels, and overall health.8 Patients with coronary heart disease in a coaching program achieved a significantly greater decrease in total cholesterol.9 In a tobacco cessation study, 32% of patients with Health Coaches quit smoking compared to 18% of people without coaches.10 Are you ready to make a difference? The world needs Health Coaches Rates of preventable chronic illnesses are skyrocketing around the world. There’s a huge demand for a new kind of health professional – the Health Coach. Integrative Nutrition Health Coaches are trained to educate and support people to find their way to better health. Health coaching is poised to make a real difference in fighting the global health crisis.

  • 4. Enjoy Unparalleled Career Flexibility Many Health Coaches work in their own private practice and have the flexibility to see clients part-time or full-time, in-person or online, as a supplement to your current income … it’s up to you. Find a Variety of Employment Options In addition to launching their own practices, our graduates find jobs in doctor’s offices, wellness centers, gyms, and spas. The world needs well- trained professionals to help people take control of their health. Earn a Generous Income Many new graduates charge $100 per hour in their health coaching practices. You can start seeing paying clients while you’re still in school and pay back your tuition before you graduate. Boost Your Existing Wellness Practice Whether you’re a physician, nurse, yoga instructor, personal trainer, or chef, training as a Health Coach can help you expand your practice and improve your services. MAKE A LIVING DOING THE WORK YOU LOVE Integrative Nutrition Health Coaches do work that is aligned with their heart. Enjoy a fulfilling career where you can follow your passion for healthy living and transform people’s lives. “The success rate at my practice is so much higher now that we have Health Coaches. I see Health Coaches as an essential part of the progression to ‘good medicine.’” Frank Lipman, MD Founder of Eleven Eleven Wellness Center Integrative Nutrition Visiting Teacher The Health Coaching Revolution A Health Coach is a wellness authority and supportive mentor who helps clients shift their behavior towards healthier habits. Whether the goal is weight loss, improved digestion, stress reduction, or boosted energy, Health Coaches support clients to create sustainable lifestyle change. WHAT IS A HEALTH COACH? As awareness shifts towards the importance of preventive care, health coaching fills a void in the current healthcare paradigm. Most doctors lack the time and resources to help patients achieve their wellness goals. By addressing all facets of wellness in addition to diet – relationships, career, physical activity, and spirituality – Integrative Nutrition Health Coaches take a holistic approach to health and help clients find the unique foods and lifestyle that make them feel their best. 6 | integrativenutrition.com (877) 730-5444 | 7
  • 5. The Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) was founded in 1992 by Joshua Rosenthal and is now the largest nutrition school in the world. Driven by the core belief that if you can change what people eat, you can change the world, the Health Coach Training Program has trained over 60,000 students and graduates in 124 countries around the world. Not Your Traditional Nutrition School The Health Coach Training Program is a one-year online course specially designed for people who are passionate about health and wellness. In addition to offering cutting-edge nutrition education, Integrative Nutrition also provides bonus business training that empowers students to launch their own practice as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. One-Year Health Coach Training Program Taught by the world’s leading physicians, researchers, doctors, and nutrition experts, the Health Coach Training Program introduces students to over 100 dietary theories as well as personal development philosophy, coaching techniques, and holistic concepts you won’t find in a traditional nutrition school. Online Learning to Fit Your Busy Lifestyle Integrative Nutrition’s innovative app, the IIN Learning Center, enables you to study from your computer, smartphone, or tablet when and where it’s convenient for you. The program allows for maximum access and flexibility, so you can balance this education with your busy lifestyle. “Integrative Nutrition trains students how to give good advice about nutrition, how to deliver it well, and how to make it stick.” David Katz, MD Director of Yale Prevention Research Center Integrative Nutrition Visiting Teacher Transform Your Health Launch a Meaningful Career Create a Life You Love THE HEALTH COACH TRAINING PROGRAM (877) 730-5444 | 98 | integrativenutrition.com
  • 6. “Integrative Nutrition offers a comprehensive holistic approach to not just nutrition but lifestyle management.” Deepak Chopra, MD Mind-body expert and bestselling author Integrative Nutrition Visiting Teacher Primary Food At Integrative Nutrition, we have a philosophy about food – everything we consider a source of nutrition is really just a secondary source of nourishment. The foods you eat are secondary to the other aspects of life that feed you. This is what we call primary food. At Integrative Nutrition, we teach you how to improve your own primary food and talk to clients about all aspects of their lives. It’s essential to good health. RELATIONSHIPS You can eat all the broccoli in the world, but the quality of your relationships with family, friends, and coworkers explains a lot about the quality of your life. Cultivate relationships that support your wants and needs. CAREER Most people spend 8-10 hours a day, five days a week at work. Are you passionate about your job? Do you love who you work with? Finding work you enjoy is essential to living a healthy, balanced life. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY Our bodies thrive on movement and quickly degenerate without it. Exercise can be simple, such as getting off the subway or bus one stop early. Making physical activity a daily habit greatly increases your health and happiness. SPIRITUALITY We all search for meaning in our lives, and feeling at one with the world can satisfy that longing. Some people follow their traditional religion of birth while others explore new traditions. Spiritual nutrition can feed us on a very deep level and diminish cravings for the superficial rewards of life. What Feeds Your Hunger for Life? Integrative Nutrition goes way beyond the USDA nutrition guidelines and covers cutting-edge nutrition concepts, alternative medicine, and modern health issues you won’t find in a traditional nutrition program. THE HEALTH COACH TRAINING PROGRAM Bio-individuality There’s no one diet for everyone – this is the core principle of the Integrative Nutrition curriculum. Students explore the pros and cons of over 100 dietary theories and learn how to create personalized approaches to food and lifestyle Superfoods Learn about the anti-oxidant rich fruits. Certain foods are powerful enough to lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer, and improve your mood. Learn about the antioxidant rich fruits, vegetables, and whole grains lining the shelves of your health food store. Organic and Local Foods Discover how organic, non-organic, commercial, and locally sourced meat and produce are different, and learn how farming methods can impact your health and the environment. Emotional Eating Many people try to heal sadness, depression, and anxiety with food; this tactic can easily lead to overeating and unwanted weight gain. Explore the connection between food and emotions. Government Policies Why are unhealthy foods cheaper than healthy foods in the United States? Learn about government subsidies, campaign contributions, and the pros and cons of the USDA’s dietary guidelines. Global Health Crisis Rates of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease continue to skyrocket. We spend an exorbitant amount of money on medications and operations, but very little time learning prevention and education. Learn how you can reverse this trend. School Food and Childhood Obesity School food has long been blamed as the number-one cause of childhood obesity. Learn about new programs being launched to control this issue and how you can make a difference. Deconstructing Cravings Many people believe that cravings are problem, but Integrative Nutrition believes that cravings play a critical role in understanding what the body needs. You will learn how to satisfy and manage these cravings in healthy ways. Crowding Out Most nutrition experts give their clients a list of foods to avoid, which explains why so many people are turned off by nutrition. “Crowding out” involves adding more healthy food to your diet rather than cutting back on foods you enjoy. Energetics of Food Food has distinct qualities and energetic properties that affect your body depending on where, when, and how it’s grown and prepared. Learn how different foods may affect the way you feel. Food/Mood Connection Scientific research shows that what we eat affects how we think, feel, and act. Get the tools to deconstruct why you feel a certain way after eating a certain food to find what works best for you. Nutrition Science Our curriculum reviews basic concepts in human anatomy and how our digestive systems function. We provide a general introduction to inflammation, digestion, blood sugar imbalance, metabolism, epigenetics, endocrine health, autoimmune disorders, and more.

  • 10. ALUMNI LOUIS VITIELLO, JR ’13 Louis lost more than 200 pounds after being told he would die if he didn’t improve his health. His transformation inspired him to become a Health Coach and create Simple Steps Weight Loss. simplestepsweightloss.com Cary, North Carolina “As a coach, I work passionately to guide busy women towards a more simple and balanced approach to healthy eating and living.” There was a time in my life when I was reaching for toxic foods, substances and relationships that depleted my sense of well-being. My life-changing transformation began by learning about the powers and healing capabilities of clean eating. I decided to make a career out of this passion and was eventually introduced to Integrative Nutrition. Through this life-changing program, I learned about the power of food and what it meant to create real nourishment in ALL areas of life! I am now able to infuse my coaching practice with this same approach. “Start a natural food company. Those were the words I wrote down while at IIN.” My goal was simple. I wanted to provide healthier, better- tasting alternatives to what was currently on the market. I was just learning about all these powerful superfoods and realized they weren’t being incorporated into products on the grocery shelf. So I set out to recreate the most delicious food products using these nutrient-rich ingredients. Our goal is to continue to redefine the standards of packaged foods. “It was about changing my mindset, my lifestyle, and my relationship with food – forever.” Integrative Nutrition’s program gave me the confidence to leave my job, build my dream, be featured on radio and television, and become recognized as an expert in my field. After 13 long years working in information technology, who knew that work could be so much fun and inspiring? I love being a Health Coach, and thank IIN for the amazing life I now live.

  • 11. ALUMNI “Skincare might not change the world, but shouldn’t it at least try?” You do want great skin, but you don’t want to hurt yourself or the planet to get it. And that’s why I started S.W. Basics. I primarily wanted to help people have healthier skin naturally. But our goal is bigger: to make products that contribute to the overall health of our communities by supporting family farmers, small American manufacturers, and values-driven partners. The days of “every company for itself” are over, so we want to make sure that every time a customer supports us, they’re getting to support awesome businesses all along our supply chain. “We promote collaboration and cooperation in the kitchen, and believe that each person has unique skills and perspectives that can add value to any situation.” Through our combined background in education and public health, and from inspiration and support from Integrative Nutrition, we founded The Cookbook Project.

ALUMNI “We want to take you on a journey towards healthier habits, through educational events that teach you how to integrate the most wholesome products into your life.” As an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, food educator and nutrition consultant, I work with individual clients and companies on improving their health and well-being through building an awareness of foods, addressing how we feed our minds and bodies, direct our energies, identifying unhealthy lifestyle aspects and making conscious decisions. At Sprout, we believe in the importance of nutrition education, at all ages, to fully understand our food and how it affects our bodies from the inside out. “I have seen people suffering all over the world from their diet and lifestyle choices, and they don’t even know it.” My health journey began when I was diagnosed with a non- cancerous brain tumor in 2010. After major neurosurgery, radiation two years later, and a long road back to recovery, I decided to take my health into my own hands – and discovered Integrative Nutrition.

Once I started to make changes to my diet, I saw major changes in my physical health, my recovery, my strength, my thinking and processing, and my riding improved!

  • 15. Food Changes Everything Adapted from the original USDA MyPlate, the Integrative Nutrition Plate focuses on nourishing food as well as lifestyle choices. THE INTEGRATIVE NUTRITION PLATE The Integrative Nutrition Plate emphasizes the importance of local and organic produce, whole grains, vegetarian and high-quality animal proteins, healthy plant-based fats, and water. It serves as a general guideline for healthy eating, but should be adapted and customized according to what works best for each person. To complete the picture, the plate is surrounded with lifestyle factors that create optimal health: relationships, physical activity, career, and spirituality. Integrative Nutrition encourages people to look at these aspects of life, which we refer to as primary food, as a form of of nourishment that can make your life extraordinary. “The Integrative Nutrition Plate is explicit about what to eat, and what not to eat. These details are essential if the typical American diet is going to be a force for health, rather than an impediment to it!” David Katz, MD Director, Yale Prevention Research Center Integrative Nutrition Visiting Teacher INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY From Argentina to Zambia, Our Community Spans the Globe Integrative Nutrition Health Coaches are needed all over the globe.
