A dozen differences We are not your ordinary nutrition school. Find out what sets us apart, and how this education will empower you to make a huge difference. 1. CAREER IN A YEAR Looking for a career change? The accelerated pace of our program allows you to start a new career in nutrition and health in under one year. 2. FLEXIBLE LEARNING This program fits seamlessly into your life. You can continue working, and you won’t need to take prerequisite courses or take out expensive loans. 3. H EALTH COACH TRAINING PROGRAM (HCTP) COURSE APP Download the app to your Apple or Android smartphone or tablet to study with our audio and video classes anywhere, anytime. 4. LAUNCH YOUR PRACTICE You will have all of the tools you need to start building a practice and seeing clients while you’re still in school. 5. BUSINESS SUPPORT You’ll get step-by-step business training to create and run a successful practice when you graduate. Many of our graduates work as their own boss, create their own schedule, and earn $100 per hour or more in a career they are passionate about. 6. WORLD-FAMOUS GUEST SPEAKERS Your HCTP Course app features lectures from the world’s leaders in nutrition and wellness. From authors to doctors to inspirational speakers, you’ll learn from the best of the best. They will be an important resource during your education and beyond. 7. ACCESS MORE THAN 100 DIETARY THEORIES Unlike most nutrition programs, we go beyond the USDA government guidelines and provide you with access to more than 100 dietary theories. This will help you understand bio-individuality to support your clients’ unique needs.
8. A HOLISTIC APPROACH Our approach focuses on nutrition as well as lifestyle factors that create optimal health: relationships, career, physical activity, and spirituality. You will encourage your clients to look at these aspects as another way to feed themselves in addition to food. 9. ATTEND A LIVE EVENT Our live events are the best way to experience the inspiring energy of the Integrative Nutrition community. As a student, you’ll have the opportunity to attend a live event to expand your nutrition knowledge, boost your business skills, connect with like-minded people, and create the meaningful career you’ve been dreaming about. 10. EARN WHILE YOU LEARN You will begin practicing health coaching with fellow students immediately, and have the opportunity to start seeing clients about halfway through the program. Many students take paying clients while in school, and some even earn back their entire tuition before graduation. 11. A SUPPORTIVE NETWORK You’ll join a network of more than 30,000 Integrative Nutrition students and graduates who are committed to improving the health of their family, friends, and communities. Imagine how much we can accomplish together! 12. GET STARTED NOW At other schools, you have to wait for classes to start. Our program begins right away. As soon as you enroll, you can connect with students and staff on our Online Education Forum, Community Calls, and Facebook group. Several weeks before class starts, you can download your app and start learning with Fundamentals classes that lay the foundation for your education. What are you waiting for?

Food changes everything Not long ago, people simply knew what to eat. They ate what was local, seasonal, and healthy. THE INTEGRATIVE NUTRITION PLATE ®
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
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

Before your class begins, you can join a live Community Call, a special session where you can meet your classmates, set goals for the year, and get support. Integrative Nutrition because “ Iofchose the incredible detailed content, the wide range of philosophies they expose students to and teach on, the format the content is delivered on, the caliber of the speakers and teachers, and the sense of community they provide.”

Time Requirement The core curriculum of the program takes just under one year to complete. A course schedule is provided, which allows students to catch up if needed to better fit their busy schedules. A typical student spends about five hours per week on the coursework. We recommend students who build their businesses while in school dedicate 10 hours per week or more to coaching, marketing, and coursework.

Integrative Nutrition’s 2020 Vision Spread the ripple effect to bring health and happiness to the world. CHARITABLE GIVING Since 2010, we’ve dedicated nearly $450,000 to organizations aligned with our mission that are working to make our vision of a healthy world into a reality. 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 thousands of students in all 50 states and more than 100 countries about the vital importance of true nourishment. In turn, our students and graduates have gone on to educate tens of thousands more people. Together we have created a ripple effect that is bringing health and happiness to the world. Over the past few years, we have planted more seeds for our 2020 Vision, which will continue to grow over the next decade. To kick start the project, we’ve done several exciting things: • We have given numerous scholarships to principals, superintendents, and food service directors across the
country, impacting more than 125,000 children by bringing healthier lunches and greater awareness to schools. • The Integrative Nutrition Foundation was established to fund the 2020 Vision. • In 2011, we gave grants to support outstanding community projects initiated by students and graduates. • In 2012, we presented the Health Leadership Award to extraordinary students and graduates of our program who have created innovative projects that will spread health and happiness throughout the world.
From left: Chelsea Jowell does a farmers’ market cooking demo; a take-home meal from Back to Basics; Alissa Bilfield shows local youth how to cook.
Recognizing Health Leadership Our graduates create a ripple effect by serving communities. As a mission-based organization, the Institute for Integrative Nutrition believes strongly in walking your talk and embodying the positive change that you want to see in the world. We encourage our students and graduates to take their education and use it to create more health and happiness among their friends, family, communities, and beyond. Our graduates represent some of the most creative, powerful agents of change. And we are proud to support exceptional graduates who are making the world a healthier and happier place. Here are a few examples:
• More than $1 million has been allocated to our 2020 Vision. And that is just the start of it. We will continue to work to create a healthier and happier future for you, your family and friends, and for the vision of one peaceful world.
