Our Food Pyramid
Promotes Total Wellness
Food is the most
important medicine.
tHe usda food pyramId
Good nutrition is simple, but in America pressure from the
food industry makes it almost impossible for public nutrition policy to state the plain truth. Major food lobbies have
influence on the final recommendations, which means the
USDA food pyramid is more politically correct than scientifically sound.
The newest version of the USDA food pyramid completely
misses the concept of different diets for different people.
This pyramid recommends a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet, three
–mark Hyman mD, guest speaker
whole grains each day, vary your veggies, get your calciumrich foods, go lean on protein and limit calories from extra
sugar and fat.
How about a vegetarian pyramid? Or what if you are
allergic to wheat or dairy? What should you eat if you need
to lose 50 pounds? What if you have a fast metabolism or a
slow metabolism? Since the introduction of the 1992 food
pyramid, Americans have become sicker and heavier.
In 2001, the USDA and the National Institutes of Health
admitted that the food pyramid was a failure. Even today,
most Americans eat less than one piece of fruit per day,
and the most popular vegetables in this country are iceberg
lettuce, tomatoes and potatoes. Learn more about our
curriculum at integrativenutrition.com.
We cover the pros
and cons of the
USDA food pyramid,
and go beyond it,
looking at all the
components of health.

• Personal dietary needs

• Vegetables, fruit and whole grains

• Consuming healthy fats and oils

A Health Counselor
is a nutrition expert, a

Working as a
Health Counselor
Are you the go-to person for nutrition advice
at work, at home or in your community? Many
prospective students don’t realize it, but they
are already working as Health Counselors.
We provide a structure for you to continue this
I n ou r cu r r e n t h e a lt h ca r e sy st e m , almost no time is spent discussing daily diet and lifestyle, and that’s where you come into
the picture. America needs well-trained professionals to teach
people how to adopt healthier habits.
Integrative Nutrition educates our students to do just that. People work with Health Counselors to achieve their health goals in
areas such as weight management, food cravings, sleep, energy
and digestion.
Together, the Health Counselor and client customize a plan to
upgrade the client’s nutrition and diet. Clients develop a deeper
under­standing of the foods and lifestyle choices that work best
for them, and implement lasting changes that improve their
energy, balance and health.
Instead of prescribing one diet or one way of exercising, Health
Counselors create recommendations to fit each person.
“I thought my Health Counselor was going to
tell me I had to stop eating my favorite foods,
like ice cream and chocolate. Instead, she
made small changes to my diet that affected my
appetite, my mood and left me feeling satisfied.”
–Linda worked with Adele Caruso, 2005 Graduate
work and get paid for your services.
Career Flexibility
Health Counselors have the flexibility to
choose where they work. Some graduates work
at doctor’s offices, gyms or spas and some
work from the comfort of their own home, so
they can be closer to their children or simply
avoid hectic commutes.
You can choose to work as a Health Counselor:
• Full-time
• Part-time
• As a complement to your current practice
• As a supplement to your current income

W e h av e a p h i l o s o p h y a b ou t
f o o d —everything
we consider a source of nutrition is
really just a secondary source
of nourishment. The foods
you eat are secondary to all the other aspects
of life that feed you. We call these parts of life
primary food.
Healthy relationships, regular physical activity, a fulfilling career and a spiritual practice
can fill your soul and satisfy your hunger for
life. When primary food is balanced and satiating, your life feeds you, making what you eat
secondary. Food can fill you, but it cannot
fulfill you.
Remember when you were a child, you were
playing outside and having fun? Suddenly, your
mother announced dinner was ready, but you
were not hungry at all. The passion of play consumed your attention. Sometimes we are fed not
by food, but by the energy in our lives. These
moments and feelings demonstrate that we are
hungry for more than food.
We take in the experiences of life in thousands
of ways. We hunger for play, fun, touch, romance,
intimacy, love, success, art, music, adventure and
spirit. All of these are essential forms of nourishment. Everything is food.
You will become skilled in talking to clients
about primary food so they can reach new
levels of health and wellness.
What feeds you?

Building a successful health

starting any new business.
It takes focused awareness,
persever­ance, commitment
and motivation. We teach
students how to reach their
maximum income potential.
One of the gifts of this
career path is that you
choose where to work.
Many graduates work in
their own homes, creating
a home office or counseling clients over the
phone. Others move to a
more accessible location
within their area, while
some relocate to other
parts of the country or
even other parts of the
world.
Examples of where
Integrative Nutrition
graduates work include:
Flexible Schedule
Graduates often do this
work part-time, while enjoying the stability and income
of their current career.
Some use their education
as a way to contribute to
family, friends and others
or earn extra income in the
evenings and on weekends. Many start with a
part-time practice and see
how it develops. If desired,
the flex­ibility allows them
to gradually grow their

charging $200 per month

or $100 an hour. That
means with one client
you would make $1,200;

across barriers of race, religion, gender, age
and economics. We recognize that just as different people thrive with different ways of eating,
students flourish with a diverse educational approach and we accommodate everyone.
our students range in age from 18 to 80
and come from a wide range of career backgrounds. Some are personal trainers, yoga
instructors, registered dietitians, chiropractors,
nurses, chefs and food service workers who have
decided to add nutrition and lifestyle coaching
to their practice. Others come from corporate
careers in finance, marketing or management
and attend the school for a complete career
change. We also have parents and teachers who
want to work with children’s health and students
who come for their own personal interest in
nutrition.
About half of our students come from the
tri-state area and others travel in from states
like Virginia, Florida, Texas, Illinois and California. We even have international students from
countries like Canada, Jamaica, England, Italy
and Japan.
