Institute for Integrative Nutrition Avis 1 814

I have loved most of the content that I have learned and will definitely use it to further my career as an Integrative Health Coach. I have to agree with a few people who stated that the communication started off great and then by the end it was nearly impossible to get questions answered and talk to someone live. The coaching circles were incredibly helpful because it was live and at the end the Integration Labs were somewhat helpful but gave very general information and feedback but still nice to communicate live with two coaches. I asked a couple of questions on the forums in the Integration Labs that never got answered there. This was not a good place to ask questions or connect with other students. I did appreciate some of the "spiritual" content but felt that the course is very biased toward certain spiritual practices and does not incorporate any Christian values or practices which was a bit disheartening. Besides a couple of speakers sharing their faith briefly I did not connect with most of what was taught at the Spiritual level. Yes we have to be open to different practices so this should also include people being open to Christian values and practices as well. As a Christian to have a psychic teach a session was very against my beliefs and did not even watch that session. And that's ok that was my choice but there was a question on one of the exams about it so I had to guess. All other content was very helpful when looking at our health holistically. I would suggest having someone like Craig Groeschel speak at one of your sessions who is a Pastor and Christian leader but also very holistic in his approach to health and wellness. It would be a great addition to this course.

I cannot recommend this program enough to everyone I know. IIN completely changed my life - it was the catalyst in my own journey of self healing and it gave me the knowledge and resources to finally pursue a career in wellness. 5 years later I couldn’t be happier with my life and where I’m at and I genuinely owe so much of that to the past version of myself that took a chance and followed my gut and said yes to IIN!! Listen to that voice that tells you there is something here and go for it - your future self will thank you .

Extremely pleased and grateful for all the training I received from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, it has broaden my prespectives, which I never thought and taught would be possible after getting trained in Conventional Medicine and obtaining a Family Medicine Diploma(Research). This course has changed my own health and wellness prespectives, along with instilling the confidence needed to become a Health coach myself thus being in a position of a guiding light to instill the same in all my future clients, and trusting in the process that will help the clients explore their Own ability to Heal themselves.

This has been the best decision I have made for myself and for my career. Best support, best community and really great resources to help you on your way. Hands down 100% recommend

I'm sorry to say, but I have to give a low review. The content and material being taught is good, but what started out to be a good program quickly took a turn when they removed the student call support center. It was a HUGE loss to the learning experience because all of a sudden there was no student support. It's been a challenge getting answers to questions. Students went from having a live person to talk to on the phone and then all of a sudden it became robotic, and honestly I couldn't get the answers I needed in a timely manner.

I absolutely love the training and community within the IIN program. I had been immersed in health and wellness for years and had long considered IIN but always balked at the price thinking I couldn’t afford it. Well after taking the course I wish I had done it sooner. The modules were easy to go through yet jam packed with wonderful information. I loved the coaching circles. Life sometimes gets in the way but when I missed a circle there was an easy way to add another. I loved how you could reach out to fellow students for accountability and practice and the fb group helped with that and other connections. I am a better listener because of this course and have loved the emphasis on primary foods. My emphasis now with clients begins with primary foods and I am creating a course based on a group of them including art which I have back to placing at top of my daily to do list. Thank you IIN for helping bring joy into my life. That is priceless.

After a 30 year career in conventional medicine, as a registered nurse, nurse educator, infection preventionist and a director of nursing, I recognized that I needed a change. There had to be a better way than just symptom management! So, that started my journey at getting to the root cause. My mentors prior to IIN were Dr. Josh Axe, Dr. Daniel Amen, Dr. Mark Hyman, and several other visiting faculties for IIN. However, I was still missing something and started investigating, “How I can make a difference in myself, my family and my community?” Then, I stumbled into health coaching and after much further investigation, I concluded that IIN was the best choice for a holistic education to start my next journey in life.
IIN not only matched my expectations but superseded them! The IIN program is progressive in learning, as each lesson builds onto another. The lessons are engaging, and the information and support that is provided is second to none. The Coaching Circles are interactive and extremely informative! The support with the IIN Facebook group brings students together from all over the world.
The IIN program enables students to grow in their own personal health and wellbeing, as well as provides the education to be successful in health coaching. IIN’s integrative approach to learning, including the multidimensional and bio-individual methods to health and well-being can’t be matched!
During the IIN program, I learned how to fix my lifelong gut issues and now, I feel amazing! No bloat and no brain fog! I have been able to utilize all that I’ve learned to health coach my husband; where his insulin resistance and therefore, his health has improved drastically. Now, while still attending IIN, I have started my own health coaching program, “Live Well Integrative Nutrition” and have spoken at a Parkinson’s Support Group on Brain Health, which kicked off providing individual and couple health coaching sessions. My current health coaching clients are already referring friends to my program. I am currently providing in-person and virtual sessions. Without IIN, this would never be possible!

Positivamente: el contenido tanto por éste en si mismo como por la calidad y el diseño del curso.
Negativamente: no está suficientemente contextualizado a otros territorios que no sean USA por lo que parte del contenido no me resulta útil.

I took this course and graduated this year 2023,,started my business Organically Heaven and it totally changed my perspective about what I thought was healthy and how I thought I was living a healthy lifestyle. I learned that in order to get healthy I needed to get healthy in all facets that started on what I was and who I was allowing around me. Also, it helped fine tune what I thought was healthy functioning relationships and why I thought how I thought regarding them and what I couldn’t accept any longer regarding people in my life because if I wanted to be the best health/wellness/nutrition coach I had to walk the walk and talk the talk in every facet of my life it all starts with us! We have to power to change our lives and in turn change others in our lives as well whether that be our friends, family, and most importantly our clients! It also helps us get mentally prepared for us being cognizant and loving people to our clients as well and actually listening to them rather than listening to them the way we may have used to been listening to our family and friends giving them advice when it’s so much better having THEM figure out what they need to do for their lives on their own! I highly recommend that people take this course and dive deeper into the world of REAL health and nutrition at IIN because you don’t go out the same way you came in. It’s simply transformative! May God continue to bless and provide for everyone at IIN you guys are simply the best!

With Love, Light, and Blessings,

Inicie el programa buscando ganar habilidades como coach de nutrición, sin embargo me lleve mucho más. Por primera vez empecé a priorizar mi bienestar de manera integral, aprendi a cuidar cada aspecto de mi vida a nivel mental, emocional, físico y espiritual. Pude superar el estrés crónico que tuve por varios años. Lo mejor fue la calidad de profesionales de todos los que participaron en las lecciones.
Haber pasado por este proceso de transformación y con las técnicas de coaching aprendidas, puedo ayudar a otras personas a lograr lo mismo.

I took this course almost 15 years ago when it was live. The reason I’m writing a review is because the way of thinking has pervaded how I work with clients and how I think about health and wellness. The work I did with IIN indelibly changed my life and career.

I came into this program with a Masters of Science in Psychology, and already practicing as a Registered Clinical Counsellor early on in my private practice. I was hoping to further enhance my holistic understanding of nutrition that could support clients (and my family!), however the amount of actual dietary information received was rather misleading in comparison to what I signed up for. It would appear as though they have been working to expand their content beyond just dietary nutrition which is completely valid (just not what I was looking for as I was approaching from the opposite angle!)

The content of the course itself was interesting and offered a nice overview of the many facets of wellness. While much of it was a refresher of content I had studied in past degrees, it was generally presented in an accessible way that was easy to internalize. I do wish that there was more focus on food given that’s what I spent money to learn about, however did find some benefit to the content.

Through the program, I was able to focus in on my niche and expand my social media platform (@FraserValleySexTherapist) as well as engage in many speaking opportunities and develop working relationships with those in my field whom have been a positive source of income generation. I will say, however, that I credit this very much to the WhatsApp group my cohort created so that we could have a forum to actually discuss the content and push each other, as this was a severely lacking component of the program in my opinion. Coaching calls were completed by phone, so there was no face to face interaction with peers throughout the program (which I think would have added value in learning to read body language and build rapport as coaches for those not already in the field ). The Facebook group provided doesn’t allow participants to make posts, only reply to existing threads, so having a chat available to seek support from peers was valuable.

All in all, my experience with the program as supplementary to my existing education was positive, though not fully what I was hoping for upon signing up.

Initially this program starts out phenomenal! Organized, lots to learn, very engaging in the FB group.
However, as the program continues you realize you'll never join a real life conversation outside of the coaching circles. Most "conversation" is through a Facebook page which is so cheap in my opinion. And by the end, you're on your own. Very little response and the courses become fillers.
FEEDBACK: More real life conversations or even a few courses. And the ability to choose a path halfway through the course. I have no interest in "grounding" but find nutrition fascinating. I'd love to have been able to go 100% that direction after getting a taste of everything around the 6m mark.

Hoy es un día muy emocionante y de mucha gratitud primero con Dios por darme la fuerza y la sabiduría para estudiar y cumplir una de mis metas 🙏 A mi esposo, mis hija por su apoyo incondicional y paciencia, mis coaches Irma y Ana por guiarnos en este recorrido y a mis hermosas compañeras de las que aprendí tanto en fin mi gratitud es indescriptible. Hot finalmente me llegó mi credencial que acredita oficialmente como un Coach de Salud yeahhhh!!! que emoción 😃🙏👏👏Ha sido un largo camino lleno de mucho de muchísimo aprendizaje. Aún recuerdo cuando me encontré con IIN estaba tan deseosa de cambiar mi vida en muchos aspectos y ayudar a los demás, casi siempre las personas que me rodean vienen a mi para un consejo o simplemente escucharlos antes lo hacía sin ningún tipo se conocimiento y una de las tantas cosas que aprendí en IIN es a comprender que la salud es multidimensional todos somos diferentes y únicos y eso me hizo comprender muchas cosas primero a conocerme a mi misma para después poder ayudar a los demás con una perspectiva diferente en donde he podido aplicarlo a mi vida y con los que me rodean. No te digo que voy a cambiar el mundo pero estoy segura e que ahora soy parte de ese efecto domino, mi mundo a cambiado recuerdo los problemas digestivos que padecía ocasionados por el mal manejo del estrés y la mala alimentación estaba cansada de sentirme enferma, pero ahora con toda la información que adquirí y aprendí en IIN de cómo priorizar mi alimento primario luego y trabajar en ese cambio de adentro hacia afuera todo iba poniéndose en lugar hoy por hoy esos problemas digestivos son parte de la historia. Me propuse predicar con el ejemplo y simultáneamente ayudar a mi primer clienta que me ha acompañado en este recorrido, quiero agradecerle a Ella también porque fue la persona que Dios puso en mi camino para poner en práctica lo aprendido y lo más hermoso de todo es que tanto mi mundo como el de ella han cambiado y yo me siento tan Feliz y agradecida de escuchar decir a mi clienta gracias por todo lo que ha hecho por mi ahora soy una mujer más segura y en paz wow 😮 créanme esa es una de las mayores satisfacciones que he tenido en todo este recorrido. En nombre de este cambio que he experimentado y en el de mi clienta solo quiero agradecer a Dios por poner a IIN en mi camino 🙏🤗 Yo me propuse ser parte de ese efecto domino y solo puedo decir que es apenas el comienzo, bendiciones para todas las coaches de salud 🙏

I made an almost $100 order from their bookstore over a month ago and never received it. The app they tell you to check says it hasn’t been shipped. Tried all the contact ways. The WhatsApp (cause that’s how professionals communicate) told me to email a direct email. I did and was told they’d get right back to me. A week+ and nothing. Try contacting again and nothing. Now I’m wanting to withdraw from my classes starting in September (who wants to do business with such an unprofessional place) and they aren’t responding. When I registered for classes though they were all over that.

Update - After posting this review I was contacted by the school and the issue was resolved. I was asked to update the review to reflect that.

IIN gave me the insight, tools and resources to write my first book “The IVF Mindfulness Journal” which I pray helps women embarking on IVF feel confident & in control of their bio-individual IVF journey. According the the New York Times 45% of Americans are stressed out making us Americans “the most stressed out in the world”. As we all know, this type of “fight or flight” sympathetic stress cycle can cause miscarriage. My goal is for these IVF Warriors to understand their nervous system better, inspiring healthy habits that promote a parasympathetic lifestyle while TTC and beyond!

This was just the program I needed to fill in the gaps I was missing on my health journey. IIN provided so much information and resources and I look forward to taking what I've learned and applying it to my practice.

I am a graduate of IIN (2021) after much contemplation and searching I stumbled on IIN after researching top programs in the country. In my research IIN was ranked as #2. So I researched more took their sample classes, joined every live call and information session I could. The other school wasn’t viable at the time I was a full-time working wife & mom of 7, with 3 grand children. No way would I be able to drive to a campus and sit for a class with all I have juggling. I kept putting it off in the weeks leading up to the start of my session I wasn’t really sure if I was going to go back to school( I have a bachelors in Healthcare Management) my father passed suddenly the beginning of that month. He had a full life and was still working up until he passed. So I thought why not? Why wait? Still thinking I received a call from a rep at IIN… serendipitous??? I decided at that moment to go for it! It has been the one of the best things I have done. I learned a lot, share a lot with friends and family. This is my element. My people. I am constantly inspired by IIN and the community. In Sept I left my employment to do something different and Coach full time. The Intense Coaching Practicum came open within a few weeks ( It was a sign) I finished in Dec 2022. Needed that class for the NBHWC exam, which I was able to take on July24 I am eagerly awaiting my results. IIN showed me what is possible, there’s no limits. I even became an ambassador. I am happy on this journey of discovery. IIN has been the best decision for me.

POST-GRAD SUCCESS: I graduated from IIN in Dec 2022 and have since written a book titled 'The Corporate Maniac'. It is about my recovery from chronic stress & burnout and is focused on rebuilding one's mind, body & spirit to get back to a healthy foundation which facilitates handling stress more effectively, either in their current role or, once in a better headspace, deciding if finding a new job or career is appropriate. Without a healthy foundation, one cannot make sound decisions. I integrate my IIN principles & teaching in my coaching program and have helped hundreds of women get back to a healthy state of being. I loved my IIN courses and just recently left the corporate life to focus on my practice. I speak at workshops, podcasts and of course 1:1. I'm developing a Course that people can walk through self-paced or with my mentorship. I cannot say enough good things about IIN!

The credentials from this course are not meaningful. The bar to finish is very low and there is no accountability or feedback on the assignments. There is also no coaching feedback. You have to do a separate course for board certification and must create your own coaching program. I was misled to believe there were weekly coaching calls starting halfway through the program, but there were only 5 of them and not enough time for each person to practice coach during those call.
