Institute for Integrative Nutrition Recensioni 

It is amazing that anyone who enrolls in and completes this MLM type program is considered qualified to lead another through health and life coaching. There is no real measure or assessment to determine how much a student has learned and if they know how to properly apply intended knowledge. The four open book tests are so easy you’d have to be seriously impaired to not pass them.

Of course, you won’t hear anything like this in reviews because IIN and its coaches need to promote the business in every way possible to keep their credibility and income flowing. This is where the MLM cult vibe comes in. Institute gets a bad name through real reviews, no coach makes money nor does the institute.

Recruitment is aggressive but support after enrollment is non-existent. You’ll be lucky to get a gum chewing rep to answer the phone, let alone address any concerns you might have. You are also solidly locked in after a certain timeframe and it’s not long enough to figure out the program and curriculum have serious issues, like outdated and scientifically unreliable information/sources.

Save your money and see a qualified professional, a licensed counselor. You’ll probably be charged the same but outcome will be far better. They also have ethical and legal guidelines and accountability that no coach has. Lots of counselors are into holistic wellness too.

Es de lo mejor que he hecho en la vida. Cualquier persona, le interese la salud o no, se beneficiaría muchísimo de este magnífico curso, estoy enamorada.

I live in central Australia, not that good with computers or fancy phones, I clicked on a site from a trusted supermarket offering a free phone, now i have you people taking $80.00 per month from my account without my permission. how do I stop that happening???

I'm quite pleased with IIN. It was a great program to learn more about myself and study topics that actually interest me and inspire me.
However, I was a bit disappointed with the fact that the program has not been updated in years, some lectures are over 10 years old.. Also it is very visible that the institue is very much for-profit and wants to earn as much as it can, which is fine, but from my perspective it could lower some prices down and focus more on community.
Either way I believe IIN is very unique and if you have the opportunity and the resoruces to take it you will defiently get a lot from it.

I love the IIN curriculum! So many doctors presenting on cutting edge findings about diet, health and nutrition, all of it grounded in solid research. The presenters represent the real diversity of America, too, with many women and people of color. As an English professor, I also absolutely love that there are engaging and informative videos to watch rather than having to read texts (I'm already pushed to the limit at the end of a day). I am so excited and energized by what I'm learning. Even if I never actually worked as a health coach, which I expect to do, I have benefitted immensely from all I've learned in this program. My life, and my husband's as well, has been forever changed by the knowledge I've gained and the improvements we've both made as a result. I also absolutely love Joshua Rosenthal and enjoy his talks so much. He brings a lot to his program and that seals the deal for me. IIN is a winning program on every level, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Overall I am very happy with my IIN experience. I enjoy the guest lectures immensely, and many of the lecturers are my beloved heroes in the natural integrative health field. I also appreciate their broad view of health, that is so much more than knowing which vitamins and minerals are good for what - hence the "integrative" approach. In the nutrition community there is a strong tendency to adhere to certain specific diets or belief systems. At IIN, they present a more balanced variety of viewpoints and emphasize the individuality of each person's case, helping us see on one size fits all.

I also appreciate that they provide tools to prepare the students for success in the field, rather than just a lot of theories and concepts, especially Coaching Skills, Coaching Tools (with forms we can use and a 6 month format) and an introduction to building and marketing your own business.

The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because you have to be very self-disciplined and independent to follow the program. I wish there was either more support or more required action in engaging with other students. We are encouraged to create our own facebook groups and hold online meetings, which I have done, but since it's not required, people's busy lives take precedence and few people engage or join the meetings. There's an enormous and wonderful community of IIN students and grads out there - I just wish we were given more support in connecting with each other.

I'm finding the course the be the best decision I have ever made, as it has transformed my life and in the process of helping to transform the lives around me. The course is wonderfully laid out, and digestible for all learning styles; and back with a very helpful and supportive team, that will ensue you the very best of learning.

Team at IIN,
Thank you sincerely,

IIN's Health Coach Training has literally transformed my life. I developed a passion for helping people to take better care of themselves after struggling with dis-ease and illness in my own life. IIN taught me a lot about food and nutrition but learning about Primary Food and Bio-individuality was a gamechanger. The program is so well put together with just the right amount of content for each module. It was a little overwhelming to take the accelerated course while working. It takes a lot of discipline and setting time aside for studying to stay on track. The Coaching Circle is probably my most favorite part of the program. Having actual interaction in the circle, while being coached, helped me to build my confidence and really gave me a vision for how I can move forward after graduation. I am so glad I made the decision to enroll and I highly recommend IIN to anyone seeking to gain knowledge and insight about how to take better care of themselves (heart, mind, body, soul and spirit) or anyone looking to teach/coach others to do the same.

I love the program and all the community support provided. I really enjoy the pace and keeping my interest!

is wonderful personal experience and growth for your bussiness

This has been a pleasant experience. I am so glad I took the leap of faith and signed up for the class without too much analysis paralysis. My only regret is that I wasn't exposed to this class sooner than now. I love the fact that we were exposed to a lot of dietary theories because one size definitely does not fit all. Also, we learned that there's more to nutrition than what's on your plate. Taking an overall look to primary foods is a great asset to use on clients. It helped me tremendously in my personal journey. I am a more confident individual coming out of the class than I was going in. I will definitely recommend IIN in a heart beat to anyone I truly care about. Thank you Joshua for your vision and thank you IIN staff for being there for me. I hope to continue my journey one way or the other with you. I definitely will be taking more classes and hope to one day be on your stage to teach what I learned.

I feel the content of the program overall was good but at the end of the course it gets pretty repetitive and I wasn't happy with the website they set us up with at all. I would recommend this course to others I just hope they make these small modifications in the near future to improve it.

Great, thorough program with loads of information!

I did the 6 month program at IIN and really committed to it, completing all talks, assignments, discussions, tests and coaching circles. Because it's a self-guided program it does require a high degree of self-discipline and motivation but those who stick with it will emerge with a great and actionable understanding of how to coach clients, the basics of business building and marketing and new ways of thinking about health/wellness/nutrition.

It's important to note a bit about my background and what I was seeking from the program as a way to frame up this review. I have a strong background in marketing and business so I felt the marketing/business/finance aspects were less relevant for me but a wonderful addition for those who need that foundation. I also already run my own healing practice and was participating in this program mainly as a way to deepen my knowledge around health/wellness/nutrition so that I can offer clients more holistic guidance. For this purpose I found the coaching skills and health/wellness talks inspiring and helpful additions to my existing knowledge base.

Overall, I enjoyed the IIN program and felt compelled and excited to sign in each week and learn. There is a stellar range of speakers and topics which is one of the highlights of the program. There are a lot of diverse perspectives that opened my eyes and inspired me to explore fields I would not have been otherwise privy to. The school also provides abundant toolkits and frameworks for students to utilize and helps students actualize the program into a career which is another highlight. For someone hungry and able to put in the work to begin a career in health coaching, IIN is a great place to start.

However there were three drawbacks from my perspective.

The first being the lack of support once you're enrolled. IIN spends a lot of time and money recruiting students but not a lot of time answering questions along the educational journey. If you're looking for something that feels personalized and supports questioning and digging deeper, this is not that program.

Second, roughly half of the talks and content are dated (5-10+ years old). While the concepts are still relevant the supporting evidence and perspectives have often shifted and/or taken on important new richness in recent years. If you want the most recent findings, perspectives and understandings on a lot of this stuff you'll need to do the digging yourself to fill in the gaps. IIN also refuses to provide dates for the lectures which doesn't make it easier to figure out where to start. I found this lack of transparency to be rather shady.

Third, there are a fair number of talks given by the education department in each module and I often found these lacking in inspiration and engagement. I'd say they make up roughly a fourth of the overall content and while they're not a deal breaker they do make it challenging to pay attention when you're in a self-guided online course.

At the end of the day, I'm glad I did the 6 month program. It helped expand my body of wisdom and inspired me to explore other fields of study like functional medicine. It's a great way to gain exposure to the many different areas of health/wellness, to build your coaching skills and to gain a better understanding of how to build and run your own practice. It's an interesting course of study and most importantly, it's actionable.

Awesome experience since day 1!!! I have a better understanding of what is to be healthy and wellbeing. Today I'm 10 pounds less, happier, stronger and so into helping others.
With love, Marilyn

Joining IIN was the best thing that happened to me. Aside from finding exactly what I was looking for in terms of program description, I could not but find how much beyond that it went.
This program, is not only well developed in terms of content, but also in terms of teaching methods as it gives hands on implementation and variety of learning methods to meet every learning style. I know this from my background as a teacher.
It is also extremely interesting, how equipped this program allows any health coach to be, whether with the material, or additional learning and the implementation.
This program definitely created an impact on me, which I will surely be able to pass on to others.
So happy to have made that choice of joining IIN.

I was happy with the coursework and learned a lot about many different things. The communication from IIN was clear and timely and the few times I had questions, they replied quickly and completely. I am pleased to be able to say I hold an IIN certification

I signed up for IIN because I needed to make a serious change in my life. My passion has always been to look and feel my best no matter what I was going through in life.
IIN has taught me so much about Primary Food and the affects it has on our health. Before IIN, I thought I knew how to be positive and towards the middle of IIN, I realized where the disconnect was. My subconscious was pushing and pulling me away from my true desires in life. Once, I started working on my subconscious and bringing it all to the surface, dealing with it one at a time. My world started to shift in a magnificent way.
Thank you IIN, for all the knowledge and inspiration you have taught me. I am so excited for the launch of my website Healthmindandbody which I decided to focus on helping the people pleasers of the world say “NO” without guilt. I work very closely with my clients using the tools from IIN to help my clients work through their subconscious mind. Once this is accomplished the universe opens for them and their struggles no longer exist.
Again, thank you IIN for giving me the strength and knowledge to set clear intentions for myself and my clients. I wouldn’t be able to accomplish all I am doing without the knowledge and tools IIN has taught me. I am so excited to create the ripple affect of IIN in the world!!

I had an amazing experience at IIN and I would recommend this institution to anyone seeking knowledge about nutrition, spirituality and balance!

When I signed up for IIN I was far from where I am today. This school transformed me, totally. I am all hyped up now because I am about to start my mission to transform others in a similar manner. I love IIN and I am honored to be apart of this life changing Institution.
