“The road to good health is paved with good intestines“

Sherry A. Rogers

The health and wellness of our world are changing, there is no disputing this fact.  Coaches, trainers and healthcare professionals working to enhance lives are on the front lines and right now, Certified Integrative Health Coaches are positioned to help shape a future of shifting healthcare responsibilities.

Your passion to be a Certified Integrative Health Coach may come from a place of self-transformation – or, maybe you need a way to elevate your skills and try new coaching techniques.  Either way, the Integrative Health Coach program offers training for either goal.

What is Integrative Health Coaching?

To support coaching that targets optimal health, the Certified Integrative Health Coach course will train you to focus on three vital areas of client need: (1) gut microbiome, (2) metabolic health, and (3) personalized nutrition. The Certified Integrative Health Coach delivers successful outcomes for clients working toward improvements with specific biomarkers of health using science.

An experienced coach will work different strategies with their clients, usually based on a collection of assessments and goals.  The CIHC program goes deeper, 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 elements brings our client odds at reaching their very specific and measurable goals.  We can also address gut microbiome concerns, we can even do metabolic coaching with our client in our Triad model.  More options, better results.

Why Should You Focus on These Key Areas?

For 30 years, The Spencer Institute has been at the forefront of developing quality and innovative health coaching certifications.  But For the CIHC course, we went back to the drawing board and made an entire coaching model, creating a truly extraordinary plan: a triad approach.  There is no better time and no greater need for this style of coaching.

You will be able to serve your clients with efficiency that makes positive health outcomes more realistic – this provides our client with a better experience.  Using the Triad Coaching Model, a Certified Integrative Health Coach is trained to develop eating strategies that address gut microbiome and metabolic health.  Get certified as a Certified Integrative Health Coach and apply these skills to even your most challenging client.  You will realize your training is less for you, and more about your clients. This is by design for this course.

Benefits of Becoming a Certified Integrative Health Coach:

• The technology used for at-home tests or assessments used by your client are managed by the client, not the coach
• The CIHC will be generally familiar with how these tests are performed.  Going deeper into specific tests is optional but encouraged.  This is explained in your training
• More consistent, meaningful results that address food intake without dieting
• You can integrate your skills to reinforce behavior change when it’s needed
• Support clients to successful outcomes in areas normally outside your area of training
• Working and collaborating with other healthcare professionals
• Be a healing force – pair your coach training to boost client results and transformations

The Certified Integrative Health Coach features the following:

• A comprehensive section dedicated to gut microbiome; known gut bacteria and the cyclic nature of the gut-brain axis
• The Certified Integrative Health Coach is trained to see metabolic factors from a different perspective.  Healthcare professionals and clients all have unique metabolic concerns and perspectives – coaches have to be fluid in their strategies.  Coaches learn the distinctions between metabolic testing norms (typical biomarkers tested), metabolic-based diseases, and how this is different than metabolic conditioning
• A thorough breakdown of macronutrients and how the body interacts within the environment from inside the gut tube is a solid anchor for the nutrition guidance given to clients.  Gain the confidence to speak about nutrition anytime, anywhere.
• The benefits of a plant-based diet
• Factors that maintain healthy (good) gut microbiome and keep metabolism in check are addressed with a standardized approach used in the research models used to study our Triad elements.

At-Home Diagnostics:  A 6.3 Billion Dollar Industry 

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.  As a Certified Integrative Health Coach, accurate, personal results are invaluable to you.

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.

What are my career options? How will I make a living as a Certified Integrative Health Coach?

Some primary careers include: coaching clients one-on-one in their home, your home, or your office. Many coaches coach in groups to help more people and earn more money per hour. In addition, you can seek out alternative (and frequently very lucrative career opportunities) as a blogger, writer, podcast host, author, online content provider, online video host, or publisher of digital education products.
