Graduating from IIN was one of the greatest experiences of my life!! I am a graduate from The American University in D.C. and have had two incredible careers in my life. One, as a fitness trainer and owner of a fitness company and one, as a board member and board chair of The Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale. Those were both amazing times for me and great learning experiences but nothing can compare to IIN. I not only learned so much to coach my clients but I also learned so much about myself. I have also met well over a hundred other coaches from all over the world. I even started a Mastermind group for IIN health coaches (which is free) for coaches all over the world. We have at least 150 members. I started this group three years ago and it is all done virtually. We also have our own admin group. We are now going to be launching a Mastermind group for coaches that live in Europe. I also hit the ground running the day I graduated and after three years of coaching, I have never had a day without a client. I coach my clients virtually all over the country and just recently had my first European client. Besides my own private practice, I am also working with a functional medical practice in Scottsdale called Lifescape Premier and also working at one of Dr. Amen clinics seeing their patients in Scottsdale, Az. This is all due to my education from IIN. I am so incredibly grateful!! Thank you so much!!

I graduated from IIN in 2013 and went on to have a successful career as a health coach. I paid off my tuition with my own clients within the first year of graduation using IINs business tools, then went on to work for functional medicine doctors and clinics across the country. I even managed a wellness center in NYC, and two functional medicine biohacking clinics in Los Angeles, California. Since the pandemic, I’ve worked all virtually from home and am currently supporting a wellness center (NYC), clinic (Utah), and mentor health coaches. I also do Corporate Wellness presentations for Fortune 500 companies, and I co-authored a published book on health. None of this would have been possible without the confidence I gained through IIN. Currently, I’m completing IIN’s CIP 2.0 program and I’m loving it. The coaching modalities I’m further applying to my practice are already having transformative benefits, I’m gaining more confidence thanks to the graduation requirements involving master coach guidance, and I’m immersing myself in the NBHWC best tools for successful coaching. Not only have I worked as a health coach the past decade, but I’ve also changed my own personal health. Thanks to IIN I got inspired in 2013 to go off several medications with the permission of my doctors, and I experimented to learn which foods give me the most energy and which don’t. It’s always a journey and never a destination, and I’ve learned a ton. Through my own exploration I’m better able to connect with my clients on their journey.

Take the leap of faith! New graduate of the March 2022 class and this experience at IIN completely changed my life. I'm now a Corporate America escapee turned Integrative Health Coach, and I can't wait to help as many people as I can. What started off as a desire to help myself, quickly turned into a passion I never knew I had. The modules are very well laid out and the content is relevant and engaging. I didn't give 5-stars because felt some of the modules were dated, but I believe the class following mine started the updated system and module content, bravo to IIN for the upgrade! Next steps: be an IIN Ambassador, write my dream book, and become a board certified coach. Thank you IIN!!

I really wanted to like this course, but the further I got the more disappointed I became. IIN should consider a name change because there is not enough content on nutrition compared to all the other lectures. It’s really misleading since the course curriculum isn’t listed online.
They suck you in by having all the big names in the health and wellness space guest lecture, but it’s just the same regurgitated information that they already have all over the internet (that you don’t need to pay for).

They also changed the platform just prior me starting and there were so many tech issues: broken links, missing PDF’s and lectures/platform being unavailable. When I had time allotted for studying I wasn’t able to log in due to the platform being unavailable, I feel like our group were their Guinea pigs. And of course there’s not any discounts available for being part of what I consider to be the test group. CS isn’t helpful either.

If you’re considering this course, save your money and invest in a real nutrition program.

Absolute rip off. The course material was WAY out of date (maybe 90s material). The Financial modules were a complete waste of time (and money) for international students. The support team - HA!! What a joke! but they are definitely on the ball with taking your money, so don't worry. And both the icing and cherry on the cake, it took them over a year from graduation to finally send my certificate. The only saving grace is throughout this process is that I love the subject matter. Honestly, if you are thinking of doing such a course PLEASE PLEASE research well and don't believe the super friendly voice on the phone, the COMPANY honestly doesn't care about you. Find reviews on YouTube that compare different companies and I'm sure you will find cheaper and hopefully better options. Be warned!

IIN is an expensive way to learn a little bit about nutrition theories and perhaps learning how to take better care of yourself. It is not a solid foundation for being a health coach or counseling people. Why would it be ? You watch hours of lectures ( interesting but not like getting a proper degree) and take little quizzes in which the answers are obvious. Don’t waste your money. Their program, in most cases will not in most cases lead to gainful employment.

I dont Recommend IIN
Especially if you have financial issues or other wise you will be harassed by text
Emails and on
But of course at the beginning they told you that you can make money but how
the certification is not valid no where when you apply for jobs
This is serious and very frustrating
With this review I wanna help don’t believe than they only want money

I got into INN because I read great reviews about it.
Personally, is overpriced for what it is. You learn a lot but is “a little bit of everything “ nothing really deep and you end it up not knowing much. Trying to find a job out of this is very hard even if you try your own business.

I was going to give IIN a 4.5 star, but didn't have that option, so I chose a 5 because overall, this school was full of useful, timeless information on nutrition AND lifestyle changes. The business classes were fabulous! The abundance of information left nothing missing. Only thing is that I would have liked to still be a part and access information longer than 6 months after the course. I'm considering taking the class again one day. The information given was information that never goes outdated as I've heard some say. Still waiting for the rest of the world to catch up to such valuable and life changing information. It's a top notch school.

I'm a graduate of this program so I don't say this lightly but there are way better schools and certifications for health coaching than this. After you complete your certification you will be left with lil to no understanding of how to actually health coach.

True it is a process learning how to properly coach but they don't give you the knowledge necessary to correctly guide people.

They won't teach you how to read labels and what to look for in the products you're recommending, they will mention gut health but make you pay extra money for another course to learn the actual knowledge, weight loss will not be on the curriculum either, they will mention hormones and emotion eating but that's another course as well.

There are courses no that will guide you on how to catch and ask questions bit also discover your niche.

Steer clear of this! It's 5000$ and there are superior courses out there

It’s a scam. They aren’t upfront about the cost, will try to enroll you in additional courses (at an additional cost) when you can’t magically start your coaching practice according to their “easy” guidance. Coaches get money for selling new coaches on the program- very much like a pyramid scheme.

If you're considering joining IIN, here are a few things you need to know:

1. It's incredibly difficult to build a business as a health coach. Most of the people I have spoken to have never been able to make it as a health coach but have made their money in other ways, this includes celebrity graduates of IIN.
2. IF you choose to join, save the cash and pay it off in full before you begin, in cash. DO NOT get on a payment plan, DO NOT put it on a credit card, and don't join if you do not have the cash. It's simply not worth it.
3. You won't graduate and suddenly have a full schedule of clients. You just won't. It takes time. You will need to coach for free to build your business. For 6 months to 1 year.
4. Many of the lectures are outdated (dating back to maybe 2012?). It's like a litany of TED talks. Some of the teachers have passed away. Years ago.
5. You will receive very little one x one coaching. It adds up to minutes. This is the biggest drawback to the course, the lack of actual coaching you receive.
6. The information is valuable but it's likely you know most of this information already. There are so many overviews and not much depth. But there is a LOT of information.
7. If you choose to take the course, take the 1-year course. 6 months is not enough to develop yourself, and you have zero time to integrate the information.
8. Only a live zoom call here and there, not much face-to-face interaction.
9. The main IIN course is not a board certification course. You will need to purchase a separate course(s) if you would like to become board certified. It will cost you thousands.
10. You will spend probably 3x the cost of the original course - on more training and courses, on marketing and business coaching, and on unexpected expenses. I recommend budgeting $20,000 to become a successful coach. All of the "goodies" cost extra. Want to learn more about gut health? Pay more money. Want to learn more about such and such diet or what have you, pay more money. It's exhausting. I had to ask them to stop sending me emails asking me to join yet another paid add-on.
11. When I googled many of the teachers, I found that they were not even health coaches anymore. Some of the newly minted health coaches who teamed up with physicians are no longer doing that. These videos are so old that it's very difficult to see how health coaching will work out for someone in 2022 and beyond. Everyone says health coaches are needed. There just isn't the kind of demand you are lead to believe.

And beware of good reviews, because IIN has a referral system that pays a student each time someone new signs up as a referral, therefore people who are trying to recoup their money and make some money from becoming an IIN coach are likely not telling the whole truth about their experience. Make sure you speak to someone in person who has gone through the program.

I graduated from IIN in March of 2021. The knowledge I received from the school was so much more than I expected.
I have started a health coaching business and I am now able to coach others and share with them the education and tools that I learned.
IIN has definitely changed my life for the better and my clients are happy with their results. Coaching clients on a holistic level has made the difference. It’s been a great journey! I wouldn’t change a thing.
Thank you IIN for all you do!

I completed an IIN certificate in 2018. What I will say is that it did expand my knowledge on a variety of topics. Nutrition is only one component of the curriculum, and I believe it makes sense in terms of health coaching in general. Health is not just about the food you eat (although it plays a huge part). The program is good, however, I don't believe it's worth over $5,000. I think it should cost maybe $2,000 for the value of what they are offering. They do chase you aggressively to sign up once you are in their reach. And once you have signed up they kind of stop caring about you. I believe the school was once worth something when they had a physical location in NYC and the founder was a teacher. But I do believe that now it is a shell of what it once was. It's a cold corporate machine. It relies solely on PDF and videos and the occasional group call. It's all on your shoulders with little support. And for that reason the price tag is absolutely excessive.

Not about nutrition. I did the whole thing with the expectation I could give meal plans to my clients and now I'm down 6,000 dollars and now I can't launch the business I started because of this terrible "school". All it is is videos and pdf's. I found my coaching circle coach semi- passive agressive, and there is no such thing as a "student support team" thats all BS. its a robot. and then if you do want a person, you have to contact a rep to get the number to call. Bad "school"

I WAS happy with the course but massively disappointed to find out that you do not get to keep access to the course lectures post graduation (only for 6 months).

I have paid over $6,000 for a year-long course, and only get to keep a handful of PDF documents which I find absolutely appalling value for money.

Before signing up for this course, I would look for alternatives where you get to KEEP access to the course materials that you spend your well-earned money on.

I wish I would’ve looked further into this school before signing up. I went into this thinking a school called Integrative Nutrition, would actually teach mostly about nutrition. It does not. I also signed up naively thinking I was getting some sort of deal on tuition. Turns out, there’s always a “deal”. A gave this course a month, there was VERY little nutrition info and what they did talk about was kind of common sense at this point, such as “eat the rainbow”.. in case you forgot that chapter from 3rd grade. I called and talked to someone named Megan and when I told her I thought there would be more information about nutrition since the word is literally in the name she giggled and said “it’s only like 20% about nutrition”. I then talked to someone named Tessa about a refund and apparently they think their useless information is worth $784 because that’s what they’re keeping from my total. That’s if I get the refund or if they’re going to make this difficult like they have for others on here. This school is a scam.

IIN was able to teach in 12 months what took me over 7 years to attempt to learn on my own while struggling with autoimmune disease. Now I'm able to help others make similar changes with lasting results because of the skills I've developed in a comprehensive and marketable way. Incredibly grateful for the experience and I look forward to continuing with the other courses they offer. I have to mention the professional support I received despite challenges during the pandemic in both my personal life and in the education system as a whole. The education was spot on for my intended purpose, and affordable for my family despite having only one income and a new baby at home!

Very bad experience with financial and admission team.

I needed to resign because of work, and on agreement says that they need to return me money.

They agree to return me money in 15 days but they did not return it as they wrote, now they are not responding to e-mail.
