Coursework is not science based and that is a huge problem. - Educator, Speaker, Course Advisor Institute for Integrative Nutrition Employee Review

I am a current employee and a graduate of the Integrative Nutrition (IIN) Health Coach Training Program. IINs workforce is made up of about 30% graduates and the program is offered to all staff interested in enrolling. Currently, about 28% of our staff are eager to graduate! IIN introduces a comprehensive curriculum with over 150 different dietary theories in the year-long coursework to become a Health Coach, not just the one mentioned in this post. The program combines counseling techniques with real-world business training. Its unique nutrition philosophy takes a holistic approach to wellness and encourages students to consider relationships, work, exercise, and spirituality as essential to building good health. The curriculum is taught by over 200 leading experts in the fields of nutrition, health, and wellness including Deepak Chopra, Dr. Andrew Weil, Dr. Walter Willet and Gabby Bernstein. And the program has graduated successful Health Coaches such as Elizabeth Rider, Sarah Wilson and Angelle Batten. Eatright.org is the website for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. This is the dietitian’s group often in the news because they accept millions of sponsorship dollars from Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Kellogg’s and they also allow those companies to teach courses to their dietitian members. IIN’s coursework is facilitated by the best and brightest minds in health and wellness and does not operate like the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The Health Coach Training Program combines holistic nutrition with real-world business training. I know many students and graduates that look forward to, or are already practicing with a thriving business. There are many flaws in this person’s post and aligning IIN with a junk food funded association is nowhere near accurate.
