And look what has arrived!
My box for school! Integrative Nutrition!
What’s Integrative Nutrition? IIN is a Nutrition School based in New York. It’s an online Nutrition School. It last’s for 1 year, in my case, from July 2012 to July 2013. Upon completion of the program I will be licensed to practice as a Holistic Health Coach! I’m so excited to follow this path and see where it leads me! I am sure I have plenty of surprises ahead of me- we always do!
You better believe I was excited upon receiving this package! Even a water bottle!
I took it to the Gym yesterday, and got geeky excited every time I saw it
I get my own Goals book, workbook, CD’s for the car, and IIN’s own book
Yesterday, as I was driving around town to all my different jobs, I would play different audios from IIN. I feel like a sponge just wanting to soak everything up!
Can’t wait to get into this!
Morning reflections and evening reflections? What other school does this!?
This is so hands on!
I hope one day someone can say this about me 
Anticipating July so I can DIG IN!
So, in July, my program will officially start. As of now, I am just listening to the fundamental classes. If anyone has been thinking of IIN, I would just ask yourself one question- do you have a heart for Nutrition, and do you want to help people out there who need you. Don’t think of yourselves as incapable. You are all very capable. Don’t feel unequipped.
What I would recommend, is go online and fill out this little tiny form. They will call you soon! They called me the very next morning. Calling them took too long, in my opinion. I had to wait an hour and never got a call. Not to say it’s always like this, but I think sending them your number is much easier. Anyway, I felt so great upon talking to an adviser! She was a student there, she was so sweet, so encouraging, so helpful, and sooo informative. I got all of my questions asked, and I felt confident in my decision. She actually told me to save her email just because she wanted to hear how I was doing on a personal level throughout the program.
What I love about the program is you’re not left in the dark. Everything is laid out online, someone is always there to help you, and they never make you feel like an idiot for not knowing something. They really just want to help. I have been nothing but happy with the program and my interactions with the advisers so far. I will continue to post on this throughout the year, but I would just hope that any of you who are thinking about the program would reach out, do a little leg work, and find out if it’s right for you. If you’re thinking about it, and you just put it on the back burner (like I did for one year), you may really be missing out on something incredible!
I am always here if anyone has any questions, too! I hope this was helpful for all of you curious minds!
(PS, I was absolutely not compensated for this email in any way. I fully decided to write this as one of my everyday blog posts because I am excited about the program and want to be encouraging for anyone else who’s interested, or simply just curious).

Hi Paige! This is so great
I was wondering why you chose this school instead of receiving your bachelors in nutrition or dietetics…?
I wanted to make sure that Nutrition is really what I want to go into before I pay $$$ for a Bach degree. I want to make the right choice. I am only 20 so I have some time
Thank you SO much for posting this and such a coincidence because of you I called them yesterday to inquire about the program! I want to go to culinary school in fall 2013 but I think that this will also be such a positive experience to accompany with my culinary school. My only concern right now is the IIN app that you work with – I have an ipod and iphone but not an ipad and I feel it would be harder for me to work through the program without a larger screen – do you feel the same way? I’d have to save up a little before I could afford the school and the ipad!
I got the iPad because of that! I think it would be much easier! I just got the basic iPad for $500. I’m happy with it! I live in SO-CAL and there is WiFi pretty much anywhere I could need it
I was wondering how much it costs and if you can easily set up clients as soon as you graduate…? Let me know! You can also just email me on FB if you want. Glad you found something you love, Paige. You are very passionate about health and nutrition so I think you will go far in this!
Thank you so much Alyssa! I got a discount. IIN cost me about $4000. It may seem pricey but it’s well worth it to me. I don’t begin until next week, and I have already learned SO much. There is so much that comes from the program. You can begin practicing 6 months after you start the program. You don’t even have to wait a full year
I totally recommend calling and talking to someone with any questions you may have. It was really helpful for me!
I definitely hope to become a natural health practitioner as well! Where you in any other post secondary school prior to this?
Hi Tisha! No, I was not! But I do plan to get my Bach following this, unless it’s totally unnecessary. I wanted to do IIN first, because I couldn’t decide on which route I wanted to go with a Bach degree.
Thanks so so much for posting on this! I’ve been looking at how I could be a nutrition coach and this is perfect for me as I have a full time job. Checking them up already
So awesome! Have you signed up?
I am soooo excited for you to start your program! Your new goodies look so chic! Too fun
