My experience training at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition

As an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, with a considerable social media presence, I have always received a lot of inquiries from the public regarding my job as a health coach and my training at the world-renowned Institute for Integrative Nutrition. So I wanted to share a bit of insight into my experience of the health coach training program at the IIN.

What is it like to train at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition?

Before I started my course, I was a bit skeptical. I am not someone who follows trends, and when it is down to investing in my professional education, I want good, sound learning backed by science and, most of all, good value for my money.

I did not come to this course without prior knowledge: I had been teaching Pilates for several years, and I already had some training in nutrition, positive psychology, and coaching, so that put me in a good position to judge the quality of the training at the IIN.

What I was looking for from the health coach training program was a certification that allowed me to properly work as a health coach in the UK.

The course was transformative

The course was transformative, not only for my professional life but also for me. It really changed the way I look at things and made me calmer, more confident, and more in charge of my life. And I would say that this benefit alone would be enough to justify my investment in the course!

From the business side, the health coach certification was a game-changer.

The IIN health coach qualification brought my existing wellness business and blogging to a whole new level. My Pilates clients were more trusting, and my existing food blog The Healthy Gourmet, found a new level of fame.

In terms of work, I received offers of collaboration from wellness brands, functional medicine clinics and doctors. My existing Pilates business received a boost and clients were more trusting in me and my advice.

I received 10 blogging and business awards, and inquiries from all over the world.

A great teaching method

The lessons were really well structured and fitting for people who learn in different ways. The founder of the school in fact, Joshua Rosenthal, has an MS in Education and has made the whole learning process really easy to fit in for everybody, from the seasoned learner to the complete beginner.

The lectures were delivered by top-class experts in the fields of holistic health, functional medicine, nutrition, positive psychology, and more, many of whom came from big Ivy League Universities like Harvard or Cornell.

Train with some of the top world experts

I was really impressed with the high standards of teaching. At the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, you can take lectures from some of the world’s top experts in the fields of nutrition, functional medicine, naturopathic nutrition, hormonal health, eating psychology, and so on.

A unique nutrition concept: Integrative Nutrition

“Integrative nutrition combines the principles of traditional nutrition guidelines and functional nutrition to provide a more individualized approach to eating and living. It goes beyond basic dietary guidelines to empower people to get more curious about how their food choices impact their unique body, which often supports them in discovering root causes for various illnesses and maladies.” ( From IIN )
