IMNI provides detailed lesson materials in a range of topics relating to the clinical application of natural
medicine, health and nutrition. Our students can enjoy and choose from a variety of courses, in whatever
order or combination you wish. High quality and clinically relevant learning need not always be sequential,
but must be complete within its subject matter. Each of our courses “stands alone” in that they provide
complete information within their context. Our courses vary in length, level and scope and are taught
through a combination of printed materials, books, and electronic technologies, such as MP3 audios,
videos, and PowerPoint presentations.

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.
