Hi, I am considering a program that didn’t make your list and I know the list is not an endorsement or a complete list but wanted to inquire about the Integrative Health Practitioner (IHP) certification program. It’s natural health, functional medicine, self-paced; about 7-months total. Includes career building as one of the courses. Have you heard of them? Thanks for pulling all of this information together.

In reply to Theresa Bervaldi. I really liked ITN for the nutrition education but also the business coaching they provide.

In reply to Maggie. It really depends on how you want to structure your work and the rules in your state.

How important is board certification in terms of career opportunities? Is it necessary, or more of a nice to have for further validity? I have been considering INN, but see they aren’t connected to board certification opportunities. Just curious if you had a perspective on that. Thank you so much for pulling this together, it has been super helpful as I am right now considering how to move forward towards a career in this space!!

Hello Katie? I am so happy and grateful for this post. I have been looking for a school to get Nutrition Education for myself. I’m just having a hard time deciding which one. I had found a couple that I was interested in based on the recommendations of NANP. I’m curious to know a little more of your reason why you picked the one you did? Can you share a little more specifics why you did? Thank you always for your information, I love and appreciate all of it!

I was considering the program at University of Western States. It is a graduate degree program in Functional Medicine and Human Nutrition and allows you to sit for the Clinical Nutrition Specialist exam. The program is 100% online as well.

I found this very insightful! I’ve been thinking about this for years as it’s where my passion lies however I’m still on my healing journey so it’s difficult to jump in and just do it! Thanks for this post!

You are also allowed to take the board exam for NANP as a NTP. ?

In reply to Brenda Nicholson. All of the above would be good just for the knowledge, whether you plan to work in the industry or not...

I am making some personal health related changes and would like to learn more – mind, body, spirit – much like your choice of healthcare education. However I would only be doing it to further my knowledge and share with others in a blog setting. Any suggestions for that type of education?
