NUTRITION TOdAy The world of nutrition has become incredibly complex. We’re constantly hearing about new studies proclaiming the health benefits of a certain food: one day dairy is good for you, the next day it’s bad. It’s the same with coffee, red wine, and eating meat.

A Health Coach is a wellness authority and supportive mentor Working as a Health Coach 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. Integrative Nutrition will provide you with the tools and skills you’ll need to turn your passion into a career.
Career Flexibility Health Coaches have the flexibility to choose when and where they work. Many of our graduates work at doctors’ offices, gyms, or spas. Some work from the comfort of their own home, so they can be closer to their children or simply to avoid hectic commutes. You can choose to work: • Full-time or part-time • As a complement to your current practice • As a supplement to your current income
you are needed! Scientific research shows that with simple diet and lifestyle changes, we could prevent many chronic health conditions. In our current healthcare system, almost no time is spent discussing daily diet and lifestyle. The world needs welltrained professionals to help others become healthier and happier. Imagine the impact you could have on your friends, family, community, and the world by doing this work!

A Health Coach offers guidance and inspiration to help clients shift their behavior to healthier habits. Clients develop a deeper understanding of the foods and lifestyle choices that work best for them, and implement lasting changes that improve their energy, balance, and health. Instead of prescribing one diet or one way of exercising, Health Coaches focus on teaching clients to become self-sufficient by observing the body’s responses to various modifications and choosing healthpromoting behaviors that work for them. Many Health Coaches work in their own private practice, but you have many options to use your training. How will you create your ideal career and lifestyle?

Some recipients of our charitable giving include: Wellness in the Schools, The Nature Conservancy, Food for the Poor, City Harvest, The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation, Health Corps, Farm Sanctuary, and many more.
2020 VISION Today, many people still do not understand that food affects everything — our health and happiness, our planet, our future, and our connection to each other. This can change. Our goal is to have the world see clearly — with 20/20 vision — that food changes everything! We started more than 20 years ago, and have continued to educate
