We’re on a mission to improve health and happiness throughout the entire world and we love to hear about students who are sharing what they’ve learned with international communities.

Nicole Fox, a 2011 graduate from Doral, Florida and a member of the South Florida Health Coaches, is a bilingual Health Coach who is using her ability to speak fluent Spanish to its full potential. She identified a need for health coaching within the Spanish-speaking community and is bringing all she learned in the Health Coach Training Program to people who otherwise may never have found guidance for their health struggles. From cooking classes to corporate lectures – and even a segment on a national TV show – here is someone who is truly spreading the ripple effect!

With students and graduates in 88 countries, Integrative Nutrition is truly an international training program committed to making the opportunity to become a Health Coach accessible to people all over the world. One of the best parts of hearing from our alumni is learning about the state of health and wellness in different countries across the globe. Even better? Knowing that these Health Coaches are making a difference in places where it’s needed most.

2011 graduate Tamar Henry is an expatriate currently living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where she’s found a community in desperate need of attention to health. Obesity, diabetes and heart disease run rampant throughout the region, while a lack of knowledge threatens a younger generation. Tamar is tackling both of these issues by bringing her nutrition knowledge and business practices to schools, group wellness programs, cooking classes, and a community health ambassador role.

What led you to enroll in the Health Coach Training Program?

I had a Bachelor’s of Science degree with a focus in health and wellness, and I owned a small vegan muffins and cupcakes business. I had a personal interest in nutrition, and wanted to find a career that I could be passionate about, where I could help others. I wanted to learn more about the subjects that I was interested in and I wanted to connect with like-minded people.

We recently held a photo contest with our Distance Learning Students. 

The winning photo came from Ciara, Sally, Jamie, and Lindsay who formed a study group in Ohio.  They  have become great friends thanks to their journey in the Distance Learning Program.  What once began as a small study group is now a community in Columbus, Ohio and more importantly, a support system. 

When Ciara submitted the photo she also included this story about their Distance Learning Experience:

“Together we plan to bring health and happiness to our community in the “O-H”, home of the Ohio State Buckeyes. Just as thousands of people gather in Columbus each and every Fall Saturday to share in the tight knit community that is Ohio State Football, we have found that same passionate bond and sense of culture through Integrative Nutrition.  As individual holistic health counselors, we are all very different and have our own unique talents.  Yet, through our sense of commitment towards a common goal, and the culture and tradition that we are striving to build, we are able to combine our individual strengths and "fight 'till the end" to bring health and happiness to our community.”

Check out these pictures of students using their iPods… on a cruise ship, in Shanghai, at the Golden Gate Bridge,  shopping for groceries, riding a tractor, doing yoga on the rooftop in Baha, harvesting taro in Hawaii! 

We’re going global!

Yesterday at 5:30pm, the final seat for our 2010 Professional Training Program in New York City was filled.

We're so excited to welcome all of you who signed up for class in New York City in February. It's going to be an incredible year!

While in the past we have taken registrations for the program up until days before class starts, this year our program sold out fully 3 months before opening day! This is a testament to how passionate our student body is about being a part of the health solution in America and beyond.

Now that we've introduced Distance Learning, this is the last year ever to participate in the live Professional Training Program in New York City, and study in-person with the world's leaders in nutrition and wellness. We are getting many many calls from people who want to be in the program, there's a huge demand, and we're actively looking for ways to accommodate everyone.

So if you're still wanting to be in the Professional Training Program, please call one of our Admissions Advisors right away. You can reach us at (877) 730-5444.

When I started the school in 1992 never did I think we would be where we are today. We’ve gone from 10 to 1,500 students in our live program and now with our Distance Learning option there is no cap. There is no limit to who can receive this cutting-edge nutrition program.

When we launched Distance Learning back in the spring I really just thought that people in California, Florida or Texas would be signing up, but our cutting-edge nutrition program is spreading far beyond the United States. I have to share this with you.

Check out some of the places beyond America where we have Distance Learning students. It's hot!

• Argentina
• Australia
• Bahamas
• Brazil
• Iceland

• Malta
• Portugal
• Puerto Rico

The ripple effect is spreading!
