Integrative Health Coach Certification
As a Certified Integrative Health Coach, you can be a force in the evolving landscape of healthcare by emphasizing prevention, seizing opportunities, taking a proactive approach, and using easily accessible data to optimize client health and well-being.
What is the Integrative Health Coaching Triad?
To support coaching that targets optimal health, this professional training course will teach you how to focus on three vital areas of your client’s needs:
gut microbiome
metabolic health
personalized nutrition
Once you complete your studies, you will know exactly how to improve gut microbiome health, improve metabolism, and provide a specific eating strategy based on the science of macronutrients.
When you become certified, you will understand how to use different strategies with your clients, based on your assessments and your clients' specific goals.
This program is based on your client's biometrics and is highly personalized and in-depth, using the following to build the Triad Coaching Model:
gut microbiome and its effects on the body
metabolic health and avoiding metabolic-related illness
personalized nutrition based on client biometrics
Integrating these critical elements ensures your clients reach the very specific and measurable goals that are developed for them uniquely. Your training will guide you through a comprehensive approach that includes dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, and targeted supplementation. You will learn to include aspects of metabolic coaching with your client in our Triad model, toward a goal of personalized nutrition plans developed for each client you serve. This gives you more options, and your client will see better results.

Why Should You Focus on These Key Areas of Health?
Your clients are seeking positive health outcomes that make a powerful impact on their health, wellness, and fitness. Using the Triad Coaching Model, you will be trained to develop eating strategies that address gut microbiome and metabolic health. Together, this information results in a personalized eating strategy for your client. Getting certified will give you the confidence to apply these proven skills to even your most challenging clients. Put your best coaching skills to use, supported by International Coaching Federation coach competencies. This ensures that your coaching strategies are client-centered for maximizing results.
Your Benefits of Earning This Certification:
The convenience of metabolic panel tests is now widely accessible for at-home use. Results from these tests give the coach data that can be used to guide clients to better health. This is where your coaching will shine!
You will be qualified to offer more consistent, meaningful results that address food intake without dieting
You can integrate your new skills to reinforce behavior change when it’s needed most
Support clients to successful outcomes in areas normally outside your area of training
More opportunities to collaborate with other healthcare professionals
This course features the following:
A comprehensive module dedicated to gut microbiome, known gut bacteria, and the cyclic nature of the gut-brain axis
You will be trained to see metabolic factors from a different perspective. Healthcare professionals and clients all have unique metabolic concerns and perspectives – coaches have to be flexible with their client strategies. Coaches learn the importance of metabolic conditioning.
A detailed module on macronutrients and how the body interacts within the environment from inside the gut tube. This is a safe way to provide nutrition guidance to clients. Gain the confidence to build an eating plan for your client.
The scientific benefits of a plant-based diet
Factors that maintain a healthy (good) gut microbiome and keep metabolism in check are addressed with an evidence-based coaching model. This forms the basis of our Triad coaching model.
I just enrolled in this course and must say it's remarkable!
Whether it is neurotransmitter production, brain health, mood, depression, hormone balance, overall well being, the gut is THE place that needs to be healthy!
Thanks for putting this together! This exceptional education helps me separate myself from your run of the mill, "personal trainer".

How Do At-Home Diagnostics Tie in with this Course?
This course gives you a new opportunity to participate uniquely in the coaching industry and benefit while coaching clients to specific health, fitness, and wellness goals.
The rapid growth of at-home diagnostic testing has resulted in dozens of biometric testing options for consumers; it’s not surprising that this swelled to its highest point ever in 2020. One home diagnostic test company reported $175 million in revenue, with a projection of 6.5 billion in sales by the year 2027.
Consumers enjoy using these tests because they are more accessible and affordable. They can also be tailored for virtually any diagnostic evaluation. This is nearly a perfect assessment tool for the CIHC.
At-home diagnostics are helping to fuel the need for Integrative Health Coaches. While extremely convenient, many consumers need support, direction, or information related to test results. When you become a CIHC, you will feel confident talking with your client about these vital matters of good health. Getting certified will arm you with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to facilitate successful client outcomes.
