Are you intrigued by nutrition, personal growth and wellness? Are you a creative, passionate person who wants to make your life and the lives of others happier and healthier? Are you already in the health field (as a doctor, massage therapist, fitness trainer, nutritionist, acupuncturist, etc.) and are eager to combine your clinical training with a holistic approach so your patients will get the best available health care? If so, you may want to attend the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. As you may already know, I’m a big fan of this school, and I graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in June 2006.
The Institute for Integrative Nutrition is unlike any other school in the world. The Institute for Integrative Nutrition offers one truly amazing, life-changing, transformative experience. And you get all this in just 10 weekends. What’s so unique about IIN is that it doesn’t just offer a nutrition education. It’s much, much more than that.
Sure, we had fabulous nutrition instruction, but that was only a part of what you get. You also get to meet like-minded classmates, who are committed to making a difference. You also get to learn about how to take your life to a more exciting, rewarding place. You also get to be nourished and inspired in ways you’ve never been.
You see, IIN is on my mind today, because last night I attended a wonderful party and hobnobbed with fellow alumni. So today I feel compelled to tell you about this wonderful program. More specifically, here are some highlights about the 10-weekend program:
1) The Institute for Integrative Nutrition is the only school in the world that teaches you all the different dietary theories – from Eastern to Western, ancient to modern.
2) You get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to listen to the most stupendous guest speakers, who are world-renowned experts, physicians, authors and healers at the forefront of integrative medicine and healing. For instance, where else can you listen to Dr. Andrew Weil, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Dr. Joseph Mercola, Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford, Iyanla Vanzant, Dr. Barry Sears, David Wolfe, Sally Fallon, Michio Kushi and Geneen Roth? Just look at this amazing lineup of speakers.
3) At the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, you also get to meet the most wonderful classmates and fabulous new friends, who are all into making a difference just like you. It’s sort of like one big family. Whenever you meet anyone from IIN, you instantly bond. (That’s one of the most cool benefits of having gone to IIN — I met some amazing friends, and I’m still making friends with former IIN grads. I’m not alone in my excitement about this. Every student and grad you talk to tells you about how cool it is to meet and befriend fellow IIN-ers.)
4) You get to be constantly inspired and motivated. (It’s truly remarkable how just attending classes puts you in a positive, uplifting frame of mind.)
5) You receive some solid, practical training on how to quickly set up your holistic counseling business, which, to my knowledge, no other nutrition program offers. (Many students start seeing clients while
still in school and some even recoup their entire tuition costs before graduating.)
6) You can get a certificate in health counseling from the acclaimed Teachers College Columbia University, which was recently rated # 1 graduate school of education by U.S. News and World Report. You also can qualify for continuing education units for most professions. If you’re ready to learn more, just contact an advisor now and tell them I told you about the school.
7) The staff is really warm, welcoming, hard working and quite helpful. (And believe you me, they have one incredibly challenging job to do!) In particular, founder Joshua Rosenthal is truly an inspiration and his talks are especially informative and eye-opening.
8) You get to connect at any time of day or night with classmates through the thriving, supportive online education forum. On the online community (or “OC,” as students call it), you’ll learn about intriguing
events and programs, class-related meetings, interesting articles, and special group lunches with other classmates. (I loved the OC, because you don’t have to leave home to connect with fellow classmates. If you go to IIN, make sure to sign up for lunches that people organize on the OC. It’s a great way to meet other students.)
9) On each of the 10 weekends, you receive lots of helpful information such as how to give lectures, give cooking classes and lead local study chapters. You even get tools to manage your business – from
introductory forms to ways to track your finances.
10) You’ll be assigned your own personal health counselor, who works with you one-on-one with you throughout the program to help you get the most from your experience.
11) You’ll receive professionally designed business cards (if you want them), as well as brochure templates and a website to help you establish your counseling practice.
