The Holistic Difference In modern medicine, the body is viewed as a collection of separate parts which can be isolated and targeted for repair via external means such as medication or surgery. But the holistic approach is a much more integrated and comprehensive system of healing. It focuses on the whole person, and the many subtle workings of the entire body, including psychological and emotional health. At Integrative Nutrition, we believe that health and healing come from the inside out. It is only when you balance all of the elements of life that things truly begin to shift in a powerful way.
As a student, you will learn to heal yourself first and then share your knowledge to inspire greater health in others.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Healthy Eating The best foods for lifelong wellness With so much confusing mainstream information about how and what to eat, it can be a challenge to sort out which diet works best for you or your clients. That’s why IIN focuses on wholesome foods, eaten in moderation, with careful attention to each person’s individual needs. It doesn’t have to be complicated or unsatisfying. Healthy eating can be an enjoyable and deeply nurturing experience.
As a student, you’ll learn about the pros and cons of a variety of different foods, diets, and ways of eating. Here is just a sample of what you’ll explore with IIN: DIETS Vegan/Vegetarian Gluten-free Raw foods Ayurveda Anti-inflammatory Macrobiotics Paleo
FOODS
PRACTICES
Fresh & Cooked Vegetables
Organic vs. Non-Organic
Superfoods Properly Prepared Grains Quality Meats Beans & Legumes Fats & Oils Water & Drinks
Chewing Cravings 90/10 Rule How to Plan Ahead Cost Saving Methods Supplements
Bio-Individuality There is no one-size-fits-all diet While many experts promote specific rules for nutrition, the truth is that there is no single RIGHT way of eating that works for everyone. Our personal tastes and inclinations, natural shapes and sizes, blood types, sensitivities, and genetic backgrounds have an influence on what foods will and won’t nourish us. As a student, you will learn how to navigate dietary information and explore the eating style that is most nourishing for your body. You will also learn how to help others in this process of self-discovery, which is free from judgment or deprivation. Try this: For the next 3 days, write down which foods make you feel vibrant and balanced, and which foods deprive your energy and make you feel sick. What happens if you eat more of the vibrant foods and none of the energy-zapping foods? Find a buddy to try this exercise and compare your unique results, chances are you’ll both be right!

Primary Food Satisfy your hunger for life Diet is not the only factor in life that feeds us. Loving relationships, physical activity, a fulfilling career, and a spiritual practice all contribute to our well-being in a holistic way. We call these aspects of life primary food. No matter how healthy your diet, what you eat becomes secondary to the many other factors that can nourish your mind and body. IIN students learn the value of balancing primary and secondary foods to create authentic health and happiness. Try this: The Circle of Life Place a dot on the line for each section to mark how satisfied you are with each area of your life. A dot placed towards the center of the circle indicates dissatisfaction, while a dot placed towards the outside of the circle indicates happiness. Once you’ve placed a dot on each of the lines, connect the dots to see your Circle of Life. Review it to see which areas in your life need a little extra tender loving care. At IIN, you’ll learn how to improve these areas of your own life while also receiving the training to help others.

Crowding Out Add more of the good stuff Most nutrition experts focus their attention on the “bad” foods that should be removed from the diet of their clients. This creates a sense of deprivation and anxiety. Crowding out means that you add more healthy foods first, and over time cravings for unhealthy foods will naturally diminish. This leaves the client much more empowered and in control. At IIN, you will explore various groups of healthy foods and their nutritional benefits, as well as how to gradually transition your diet.
Try this: Begin adding more fresh and cooked vegetables to your daily meals. Think about having something green with every meal! No matter what else you eat that day, at least you’ll know you nourished your body with essential nutrients.
