Integrative Health Practitioner Avis 3

I want to share my honest experience with an integrative health program I enrolled in, because I wish someone had told me this before I signed up.

I went in expecting a deep education in integrative and functional health—things like foundational principles, broader supplement knowledge, and exposure to multiple approaches including herbal and Chinese medicine.

What I personally experienced was a program that leaned heavily on pre-built protocols and specific supplement recommendations tied to one brand. Instead of learning how to independently evaluate and build protocols from a wide range of tools, much of the training centered around following a structured system.

That doesn’t mean it won’t work for some people—but it was very different from what I expected when I enrolled.

If you’re considering a program like this, I would strongly recommend asking detailed questions about:
• How much of the curriculum is foundational education vs. protocol-based
• Whether multiple supplement brands and approaches are taught
• How much independent clinical reasoning you’ll actually develop

Just sharing my experience so you can make an informed decision.

My time with IHP has shaped me into the health coach I know that I can be. I am so looking forward to helping those around me fall in love with the health journey they deserve, as well as kickstarting my own practice. This staff and community is incredible, and I'm so grateful for the time, energy, and patience they have shown me along the way!

After being a student/graduate and being active in the community, I was asked to come on staff. I work with the best people. I love getting to interact with my co-workers everyday and getting to collaborate on various projects. We have a strong team who are passionate about helping achieve the goal of getting a health coach in every home.

I feel supported by management and they want me to succeed. My voice has been heard when things needed to pivot and change was made. Management is compassionate and understanding.

After being self-employed for over a decade, I am grateful this is the team I get to be surrounded by when working for someone else.

The owner is also open to hearing feedback and he is sincere about investing in the team so they can grow to be the best they can be in their respective roles. He is approachable and involved in the company.

I truly look forward to working every day and being a part of something so much bigger than myself. I'm living the dream of working for the institute that gave me the tools to take back my health. I am so grateful to be here.
