Become A Certified Holistic Health Coach
With The Institute For Integrative Nutrition
I started my career as a health coach after I studied and got my certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). It’s a world-renowned online holistic health coaching school with over 100,000 graduates from 175 countries.
Studying at IIN helped me realize my dream of working in the health and wellness field as well as starting up my own private coaching practice. It also allowed me to become a board certified and accredited member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP).
IIN's entirely online platform enabled me to study under the world's top health and wellness experts including:
Andrew Weil, MD, director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine;
Walter Willet, MD, DrPH, Chairman of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health;
Marion Nestle, PhD, MPH, Paulette Goddard Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at New York University;
David Katz, MD, Director of Yale University's Prevention Research Center;
If you’re interested in learning about holistic nutrition, starting your own coaching practice, or working in the health and wellness field, I highly recommend studying at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

FAQs
1. What can I do with a health coaching certification?
Having an IIN health coaching certification can set you up for a career in the following areas… 1:1 coaching, corporate coaching, group programs, public speaking, podcaster, author, school food advisor, personal chef, launching a healthy product line in the food, beauty, or supplement industries, influence health and food policies, work at wellness centers, gyms, naturopathic offices, spas, holistic healing centers, and becoming an IIN ambassador. The possibilities are endless!
Personally, studying at IIN allowed me to have my own Health Coaching and Life Coaching private practice, and become a Supplement Specialist and manager of a health food store.
2. Will IIN help me start my coaching business from scratch?
Yes. If you are just starting out and have no idea where to even start, IIN will help you gain clarity on how to create your coaching offer, how to find clients, and how to conduct Health History calls, and get potential clients excited to hire you as their coach. You will also be provided with professional templates for your coaching website, business cards, and additional marketing material.
3. How is the program structured and what types of things will I learn?
The IIN curriculum consists of weekly modules in the form of videos + slide presentations, 4 tests to assess your understanding of the material, guidance on how to conduct health history calls for potential clients, and the opportunity to participate in 4 coaching circles over the phone. This structure provides the perfect level of accountability and deadlines to stay on track, while still maintaining flexibility and freedom to complete things on your own time.
4. What is the time requirement for this program?
IIN is a 12 month online program that requires 3-4 hours of your time each week. Many IIN students go through this program while also working full time or being a full time student. All you need is an internet connection and commitment to block out a few hours each week, and you can easily make this work for you. **There is also a 6-month accelerated program available for those who are able to dedicate more time to IIN and want to become a certified health coach ASAP.**
5. Are there payment plan options? Average monthly payment?
Yes, IIN does offer payment plans which can be as low as $199/month depending on discounts available at the time of enrollment. When you share that you heard about IIN from Kailyn Sarmiento you can receive a discount up to 20% off tuition.
Speak to an Admissions Representative for more information on tuition/payment plans. Phone: (877) 780-3300 (U.S.) or +1 (212) 730-5433 (international)
6. If I want to be a Life Coach, Is IIN the right fit for me?
Yes! I began a private Life Coaching practice after graduating from IIN and I gained fundamental knowledge of wellness inside this program. IIN’s philosophy highlights the importance of Holistic Health, meaning the curriculum touches upon all facets of health: physical, spiritual, social, emotional, environmental. Although you will be learning about 100+ dietary theories, the teachings of this program extend far beyond the food we put on our plate. In fact, one of the most life changing things I learned in IIN was the concept of Primary Foods vs. Secondary Foods. Which explains the importance of fulfilling our needs for meaningful relationships, a fulfilling career, exercise routine, and spiritual practice as it pertains to our overall health.
7. What makes this certification program better than others?
The health coaching industry is growing FAST and becoming a well-known, mainstream career path. What sets IIN apart from other programs is that they created the field of Health Coaching and started this entire movement. IIN was founded in 1992 and has been around longer than any other health coaching certification program out there. IIN has trained over 100,000 students in over 175 different countries and they are licensed by the New York State Department of Education, meaning the curriculum is regularly reviewed and held to a high standard to ensure their content is always accurate and up to date. Most recently, IIN passed CPT codes by the American Medical Association, which means they are paving the way for health coaching services to soon be covered by insurance.
8. Is IIN a real school? Can I get college credits?
Yes, and yes! IIN is licensed by the New York State Department of Education. Because it is an accredited school, you can earn up to 29 college credits toward your bachelor’s, master’s, or doctorate degree.
