An Integrative Nutrition Health Coach (INHC) is a holistic wellness guide who helps people achieve sustainable health goals by focusing on the whole person, not just food. They address lifestyle factors like relationships, career, exercise, and spirituality, alongside nutrition, using a personalized approach called "bio-individuality" to create unique, actionable plans in collaboration with their clients. INHCs act as educators, motivators, and accountability partners, teaching their clients to listen to their bodies and to make lasting behavioral changes for long-term health and wellness results. 

Key Aspects of Their Role:

Holistic Approach: Considers "primary food" (relationships, career, exercise, spirituality) and "secondary food" (what's on your plate) as interconnected.

Bio-Individuality: Recognizes that everyone has unique needs and what works for one person may not work for another, tailoring guidance accordingly.

Behavior Change: Focuses on empowering clients to discover and implement healthy lifestyle habits, rather than just prescribing diets.

Accountability & Support: Provides ongoing support, guidance, and accountability to help clients stick to their plans and navigate challenges.

Collaboration: Works alongside other healthcare professionals (doctors, therapists) to fill gaps in traditional care, especially regarding lifestyle guidance. 

What They Help With:

- Creating healthier eating habits.

- Improving sleep patterns and stress management.

- Finding sustainable exercise routines.

- Addressing emotional eating and body image issues.

- Improving overall life balance and happiness. 

Integrative nutrition is a holistic approach to health and wellness that focuses on the whole person, not just their diet. It takes into account all aspects of your life, including your physical and mental health, your environment, and your relationships. Integrative nutrition coaches believe that food is a powerful tool that can be used to heal the body, mind, and spirit.

A holistic nutritionist is a practitioner who uses food and lifestyle changes to promote health and well-being. Holistic nutritionists typically have a background in nutrition, but they are not required to have a degree from an accredited university.

The cost of seeing a holistic nutritionist can vary depending on the practitioner's experience, location, and the services offered. Most holistic nutritionists charge by the hour, but some may also offer packages or discounts.
