UNIQUE AND INDIVIDUALLY-TAILORED HEALTH ADVICE



IMNI’s courses teach you to coach and counsel real individuals, not just some theoretical “general” population. An adequate health coach delivers “one-size fi ts all” dietary and health advice that may be helpful for many people. But an excellent health coach addresses each client’s unique history, symptoms, and health issues with an intelligently, individually tailored set of recommendations designed specifi cally for that person to achieve optimal health. Any school can train you to be adequate. IMNI is here to train you to be exceptional! “What is the best diet I should recommend to my clients?” There is no best diet, except the one that best addresses the health needs of individual in front of you. “How much vitamin C should I tell my clients to take?” There is no single correct dose except for the determined to balance and heal the individual you are counseling. IMNI knows that every person that seeks out your health advice deserves personal, special attention. Your course work with IMNI will give you a fundamental knowledge in nutritional chemistry, various diets and food therapies, and supplemental nutrition (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, herbs and homeopathic remedies.) With this knowledge, you will be empowered to make informed and intelligent recommendations that are individualized for the optimal benefit of each client.

THIS IS WHAT OUR PROGRAM IS ABOUT!

SKILLS YOU WILL LEARN FROM YOUR IMNI CERTIFICATION TO INDIVIDUALIZE CLIENT CARE:

1. How to assess biochemical uniqueness
2. When and why to recommend different clients
3. How to determine optimal nutrient doses for your client
4. Strategies to help different clients follow through with recommendations
5. How to evaluate blood and other laboratory work to address individual imbalances and deficiencies
6. How to offer preventive and therapeutic nutritional solutions for weak body system functions (digestion, immunity, autoimmunity, pH, detoxifi cation, endocrinology, metabolism, stress/depletion, cardio vascular, and others)

Excellent earning potential while changing peoples lives with integrity.

“Your earning potential in the field of nutrition
is not only dependent upon what you know, but
also upon how effectively you can apply what you
know. I can teach anyone how to do this successfully.”
— DR. MICHAEL WALD


Nutritionists can earn from a low of $50-$400 an hour. Once you have completed your education with the Institute, you will deserve to earn a respectable fee for your nutritional and health counseling expertise.

The bottom line is this: when you’ve earned your Certifi ed Nutrition Counselor or Certified Health Coach degree, you will know that you are giving your clients what they need and deserve. Your services will be valued and the money you earn in return for your services will reflect that value. Most importantly, you will have the reward of knowing that you contributed
to your client’s well-being. Our courses will help you THRIVE along your successful journey into natural health care. We
offer several practice management courses designed to provide you with REAL LIFE methods for succeeding in practice.

“All too often I see highly intelligent and dedicated
people fail financially in nutritional and
natural health care. They know their stuff for
sure, but they know nothing of business and
practice management.”
— DR. MARK LEDER
