ALINA ISLAM BBA, CNP
Alina is a 2014 North York campus graduate, currently practicing in Toronto, ON. She comes from a corporate background in advertising, where she worked on brands such as Special K, Froot Loops and Frosted Flakes (yes, the opposite side of the spectrum!) Troubled by what was being promoted as “healthy” to the general public, Alina came to the Institute of Holistic Nutrition to gain more knowledge on how to educate people the right way. She is now the in-house nutritionist at the health and wellness website, The Hearty Soul, where she provides content consultation services to ensure accurate information is being presented about alternative health. Alina conducts corporate talks, one-on-one coaching programs, and she loves to blog. She has published two ebooks, which can be found on her website and Amazon: The Beginner’s Guide to Meal Prep and Ramadan Health Guide.
