Huge news over here at Integrative Nutrition! We’ve added a new lecturer to our innovative holistic curriculum: Arianna Huffington!

Arianna Huffington has inspired women (and men) all over the world to pursue their dreams and maximize their career potentials. She’s an indisputable professional role model, having founded the Pulitzer Prize-winning news site The Huffington Post, writing fourteen bestselling books, and making both Forbes “Most Powerful Women” list and the Time magazine list of the 100 most influential people in the world (twice!).

So at Integrative Nutrition, where students gain training in holistic nutrition, self-improvement philosophy, and business development, it makes sense that Huffington would choose to lecture on…self-care?

That’s right.

It might not seem like the obvious choice at first, but Huffington is a huge champion of the importance of self-care and overall wellness, valuing it just as much as success and growth in the professional realm. So much so that her latest book, Thrive, focuses on how vital self-care is to achieving lasting success and happiness. This type of holistic life balance aligns perfectly with the Integrative Philosophy and the approach our Health Coaches take when working with clients.

“I'm delighted to be an Integrative Nutrition guest speaker” said Huffington. “My own painful wake-up call in 2007 helped me to see that not only is there no tradeoff between living a well-rounded life and high performance, performance is actually improved when we take time to take care of ourselves and prioritize our well-being. Integrative Nutrition and Joshua Rosenthal share my commitment to spread the word about the benefits of sleep, meditation, mindfulness and renewal, and Integrative Nutrition gives its students great tools to improve their wellbeing and thrive in their day-to-day lives.”

We’re thrilled she’s thrilled! And we’re also thrilled because her addition to the curriculum brings tremendous value to Integrative Nutrition students and adds a unique and provocative voice to our stellar lineup of expert lecturers.

As Integrative Nutrition founder Joshua Rosenthal said, “I am extremely proud to welcome Arianna Huffington to the Integrative Nutrition Community. With this amazing new guest speaker, I hope students are empowered to find the balance in their lives that they need to thrive.”

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Welcome to the Integrative Nutrition community, Arianna!
