Today, on behalf of all of the staff at Integrative Nutrition, I am proud to announce the establishment of a Board of Advisors who will help shape the strategy, vision, and long-term direction of the Health Coach Training Program.
The board consists of 15 physicians, researchers, and leading authorities whose specialties span the fields of nutrition, health, and functional medicine.

- Walter Willet, MD, Chairman of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health
- Joel Fuhrman, MD, author of Eat for Health: Lose Weight, Keep it Off
- David Katz, MD, Director of Yale Prevention Research Center

We already teach concepts like primary food and bio-individuality that are unique to Integrative Nutrition and set our curriculum apart from other nutrition programs. In the coming year we plan to add even more exclusive content to our course, and this Board of Advisors will help us as we continue to add new principles and update and innovate the Health Coach Training Program.
I look forward to seeing where this next step in the Integrative Nutrition journey takes us, and thank all of the founding board members for the invaluable insight their leadership will provide.
