The Integrative Nutrition curriculum teaches a wide variety of skills in business, counseling, nutrition and lifestyle choices

You’ll learn how to work with clients in a one-on-one setting, run group programs and workshops in settings such as corporations, spas, health clubs, doctors’ offices, schools and more.

The school covers cutting-edge nutrition concepts and modern health issues that you won’t always find in a traditional nutrition program, including:

Nutrition Concepts
Bio-individuality
No one diet works for everyone. Integrative Nutrition explores different ways of eating in order to create a personalized approach that is appropriate for the individual depending on their age, health, activity level, where they live, personal tastes and preferences.

Primary Food
We are fed not only by food but by other factors in our lives. Healthy relationships, regular physical activity, a fulfilling career and a spiritual practice can fill your soul and satisfy your hunger for life.

Deconstructing Cravings
Many people believe cravings are a problem, but cravings play a critical role in understanding what the body needs. You will learn why people desire certain foods, like chocolate, French fries and coffee and when to give into these cravings.

Crowding Out
Most nutrition experts give their clients a list of foods to avoid, which explains why so many people are turned off by nutrition. Crowding out adds more healthy food to your diet rather than cutting back on the foods you enjoy.

Energetics of Food
All food has distinct qualities and energetic properties that affect your body depending on where, when and how it’s grown and prepared. The program discusses different foods and how growing conditions affect the way you feel.

Food/Mood Connection
Scientific research and personal experience both demonstrate that what we eat affects how we think, feel and act. Integrative Nutrition will give you the tools so you can deconstruct why you feel a certain way after eating a certain food.

Superfoods
Certain foods are powerful enough to help you lower cholesterol, reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer, and improve your mood. You will learn about the powerful, antioxidant rich fruits, vegetables and whole grains that will boost your health and improve your mood.

Nutrition Science
You’ll review science and anatomy to gain an understanding of how our bodies function and why certain dietary habits work and don’t work for individuals. You’ll learn about:

• Autoimmune disorders
• Blood sugar & glucose
• Digestive system
• Toxins
• Thyroid health
• Genetic influence on diet
• Metabolism

Modern Health Issues
American Health Crisis
Rates of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease continue to increase. We spend an exorbitant amount of money on medications and operations and virtually nothing on prevention, education and holistic health. Learn how you can help reverse this trend.

Food Corporations
Food corporations are big business; the fast food and restaurant industries generate billions of dollars in annual sales. Learn how companies spend their advertising dollars to influence the public to buy their products.

Government Policies
Why are unhealthy foods cheaper than healthy foods? Learn about government subsidies, campaign contributions and the pros and cons of the USDA food pyramid.

Hypoglycemia
Literally meaning, “low glucose levels in the blood,” this condition is a precursor to diabetes. A poor diet can cause a breakdown in the body’s ability to manage blood glucose, causing a rollercoaster effect on energy.

Organic vs. Non-Organic Foods
Discover the difference between organic and non-organic commercially raised produce and how both methods affect your overall health.

Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are prevalent in America today with many types of eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, compulsive eating disorder and orthorexia nervosa.

School Food
School food has long been blamed as the number one cause of childhood obesity. It’s no wonder with the vending machine candy bars and processed food. You will learn about the different programs being developed in schools and how you can make a difference.

Professional Practice
Fast Track
With the Integrative Nutrition business coaching and Fast Track program you’ll get the tools to grow your practice even after you graduate. You’ll learn:

• Attracting perfect clients
• Elevator speech
• Goal planning
• Money management
• Referral building
• Registering your business

The following is the Confession story by Zohar Zemach Wilson, Director of Alok Holistic Health, about his personal experience at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

confession

i used to be a suit
working in an office
for corporate america

until a friend told me about a school
the institute for integrative nutrition

went for an orientation at the school
it was free and they even served
delicious organic dinner

a bold guy in black blazer led the evening
he told info i’ve never heard before
he was funny
very entertaining
the two hours flew by
felt like seeing a show

i was searching for my skepticism
to hold me back from enrolling in this school
but my skepticism was too busy
getting a third helping of the veggie pate
leaving me on my own to sign up for the school

the rest is history

had amazing year at this school
everyday that passed
i realized that life will never be the same
there was no way back into the matrix

quit my office job
started my own holistic health practice

now my income comes with love
and instead of 3 weeks holiday a year
i have 3 months holiday

the institute for integrative nutrition claims
that they are the only school of its kind in the world
mamma mia, they are so right
