Integrative Nutrition Health Coach
A Health Coach is a supportive mentor and wellness authority. They help others feel their best through individualized food and lifestyle changes that meet their unique needs and health goals. Often times, Health Coaches provide their services in private coaching practices, either working one-on-one with clients or and facilitating a group coaching program.
Health coaching isn’t about one diet or one way of living. Health Coaches who graduate from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) focus on bio-individuality – the idea that we’re all different and have unique dietary, lifestyle, emotional, and physical needs. This means that we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to health and wellness. Health Coaches work with clients to help them discover how to fuel their bodies, live a healthy lifestyle, and become the healthiest, happiest versions of themselves by finding exactly what works for them.
