A Holistic Approach

We teach a holistic approach to nutrition, which means that our curriculum goes beyond nutrition to look at how all areas of your lifestyle are connected to your health. Health Coaches are trained to work with clients to meet their goals and improve their overall health in the areas of:

Food

• Cravings
• Coffee/ Sugar
• Grocery Shopping
• Healthy Cooking

Lifestyle

• Relationships
• Exercise Routine
• Career
• Spirituality

Health

• Allergies
• Anxiety
• Digestion
• Energy
• Sleep
• Stress

Goal Setting

• Weight Loss
• Time Management
• Planning for the Future

and so much more!

"Integrative Nutrition offers a comprehensive holistic approach to nutrition and lifestyle management. The school offers a variety of different perspectives, which is important because there is no one fixed way of looking at well-being." –Deepak Chopra, Guest Speaker

Start your new career in nutrition

Through our Fast Track business training, you'll get the tools to start seeing clients while you're still in school. You'll receive one-on-one guidance from your own personal health coach, who acts as your guide throughout the program. We empower students with the confidence, knowledge and skills to start making a difference and launch a new career in a year.

Certification

Integrative Nutrition Certificate: Halfway through the program, you will be certified to start seeing clients. Upon graduation, you will receive a diploma representing your education, knowledge and experience.

National Certificate: Once you graduate, you will qualify for national board certification by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, an independent association for holistic healthcare professionals. For details, visit their website at aadp.net.

Purchase College Certificate: Our special partnership with Purchase College of The State University of New York (SUNY) allows students to earn a certificate and continuing education units to advance their practice.

Earn while you learn

Are you the go-to person for nutrition advice at work, at home or in your community?

Many prospective students don't realize it, but they are already working as health coaches for their friends and family – they're just not getting paid for it. We provide a structure for you to continue this work and get paid for your services.

Many students earn up to $75 an hour as Health Coaches several months into the program, and many even earn back their entire tuition before graduation.

Many graduates earn $100, $200 or even $300 per hour helping their clients overcome their most pressing health concerns such as weight loss, fatigue, digestion issues and women's health problems.

Best of all, you can do this coaching from home, over the phone, and the hours can be extremely flexible.

You are needed!

As students get trained to be health coaches, they begin to learn how to articulate life-changing health information, share their knowledge with others and become a critical part of the solution to our healthcare crisis.

More and more research shows that with simple diet and lifestyle changes, we could prevent many chronic health conditions. With all the tools you need to coach others to become healthier and happier, imagine the impact of this work on your friends, family, community and the world.

To your health and happiness,
