History

The Institute for Integrative Nutrition was founded in 1992 by Joshua Rosenthal. The school initially offered in-person classes in New York before transitioning to an online learning platform.

Before founding IIN, Rosenthal studied nutrition concepts under Michio Kushi, focusing on macrobiotics. Kushi's One Peaceful Network World approach focused on using macrobiotic nutrition to create healthy individuals and communities. These studies prompted Rosenthal to investigate alternative theories of nutrition and the One Peaceful Network approach helped inspire IIN's current mission to create a "ripple effect of health and happiness that transforms the world". IIN is now the world's largest nutrition school and has more than 60,000 graduates worldwide.

In January 2015, Congress recognized January 12-18 as National Health and Wellness Coach Week. A letter to IIN from Rep. Tim Ryan of Ohio recognized the role of health coaches in helping prevent lifestyle-related disease and reversing the health crisis in the United States.
