Lessons Informed By Clinical Nutrition and Functional Medicine
All at once, more and more people are seeing the true power of natural health solutions for chronic and acute conditions. It is truly precedent setting. What appears to be a vilification of our profession and its profound evidence by media, ministry and mainstream is, on the ground and in our clinics, prompting an uptick in clients. The surge of clients also brings with it a demand to have outcomes that last a lifetime.
IHN invites you to join your colleagues looking into a key fundamental control centre of well-being—the gut—from a seasoned practitioner’s body of knowledge. This exciting collaboration between IHN, and faculty member Brett Hawes, was born out of the successful launch of the Masterclass as an in-class program at IHN’s Toronto campus in July 2019, transitioning to a international platform since 2020. Now, in 2023 a new RECORDED 8 week program includes weekly LIVE Q&As with Brett. This pre-recorded access and real-time format allows convenience of learning the core material at your own pace, with the immediate and immersive teacher/student interaction that elevates online learning.
IHN graduates, current qualified students* and allied partners in natural health are offered the collaboration offer:
$250 off the price of the program + 25% off one of IHN’s select Con Ed courses + Certificate through IHN
* current IHN students, IHN Graduates and Any Allied Practitioners welcome to register through the IHN Collaboration link found on this page.
