Get started with your Fundamentals program
Your Fundamentals program begins as soon as you enroll, and our most successful students jump right in to start exploring the curriculum.
Our program is designed to get you in action, so you can take what you learn into your community and make a real difference. Students practice Health Histories, share tips for giving workshops, try new recipes and experience a deepened sense of community.
Here’s what you receive when you enroll:
Enrollment Materials
When you enroll, you’ll receive your materials, iPod and gain access to our Online Education Forum (OEF), a virtual learning space for our students and graduates.
Your own iPod
Your iPod will come fully loaded with audio and video classes led by renowned guest speakers, including primary teacher Joshua Rosenthal.
Online Education Forum
You can interact at any time of day with everyone in our community. Our moderators are graduates of the program and staff who can answer questions and help coach you throughout the year. You will always have access to the OEF, even after you graduate. Forum topics include dietary theories, class discussions, business support, guest teacher Q&As, new recipe ideas and more.
Fundamentals Classes
The Fundamentals classes cover essential nutrition concepts and introduce you to the Integrative Nutrition curriculum. You’ll be guided through the materials, so you will be 100 percent prepared when classes begin.
Dietary Theories
We maintain and update an extensive dietary theory library with more than 100 theories. This library gives you an amazing overview of all the major diets both modern and traditional to help you grow your nutrition knowledge. As you build your practice, you can use the library as reference when clients ask about a particular diet.
Focus Classes
Nutrition, health and wellness experts record talks on topics such as children’s health, gluten intolerance and supplements. These classes are available for all students who want to focus deeper on a particular nutrition topic. Some sample class topics and guest teachers include:
- The China Study with T. Colin Campbell

- A Career in Health with Mike Adams
