IHPI MOST COMMON FAQs
Explore this page for a thorough collection of frequently asked questions.
Do I need to have a medical degree, any pre-qualifications, or a medical background to become an IHP?
Not at all. While having a healthcare background can be helpful, it is not a requirement.
What are the differences between the different IHP Levels?
Level 1 teaches you to become world-class in helping people with customizing Diet Bio-Individualization, Exercise Programming, Stress Reduction, Toxin Removal, Rest & Resetting the Nervous System, Emotional Balance, Supplement Protocols, and creating a Success Mindset. Level 2 builds upon that knowledge of the DESTRESS Protocol® and provides education on how to read at-home lab tests.
Can you become an Integrative Health Practitioner if you live internationally (outside of the United States)?
Since IHP is an online health coaching certification and not a license to practice medicine, it can be used as health education coaching anywhere in the world. The International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM) and the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT) are accreditations that we have that can help you get insurance to practice internationally.
