The Institute of Integrative Nutrition definitely doesn't provide any
type of licensure to practice. I have met some ppl that have a cert.
from there and were happy with the program. However, I've also
met a good deal of ppl who were very unhappy with the program.
"It's extremely expensive for 10 wkends of self promotion." Ppl
have said that the guest speakers spend the whole wkend
promoting their books instead of actually teaching the foundation
nutrition knowledge one would need to be competent in their own
practice. I was told that unless you are trying to expand an already
established practice, the institute is a waste of time and money.
They said the program was great for meeting ppl with the same
interests but that you REALLY have to put the effort out there to
meet ppl. I mean thousands of ppl coming together for a wkend seminar once a month just doesn't compare to a class of 20.

Hope this gives some insight into the program.
