When Lifestyle Changes Aren’t the Full Answer
You may have experienced it yourself. Fatigue, digestive issues, hormone imbalances, brain fog, skin challenges, or unexplained weight gain, yet you are told everything looks “normal.” Even when diet improves, stress is managed, sleep is prioritized, and exercise becomes consistent, symptoms can still remain. So the real question becomes: What is actually happening inside the body?
The IHP Level 2 Certification gives you the ability to look deeper. Through at-home functional lab testing and a proven root-cause framework, you learn how to connect symptoms to what is actually happening inside the body and apply targeted wellness protocols designed to restore balance and support lasting health.
“IHPI has given me the knowledge and confidence to begin taking on clients in my new integrative health practice.”

Real Practitioners, Real Impact
“I chose to achieve IHP2 certification to offer my wellness clients the highest level of service possible so together we can achieve their health and performance goals. IHP2 taught me the skills required to look through the window into what the underlying root causes of my clients health struggles are and to then educate and offer them clinically proven natural health protocols. Becoming IHP2 Certified gives the advantage of combining the unique DESTRESS Protocol with at-home FM Lab testing no other program offered today can match.”
“I have always been into data and seeing the proof behind what is going on. If you can measure it, you can master it! It made sense for me to be able to offer these services as well to my future clients. I believe having information with Level 2 bridged between some of the topics of Level 1 and gave a broader picture of how we can help others understand their health.”
“I chose to complete level 2 so I could offer at-home lab testing to future and now current clients. It has allowed me to take my business to the next level. Level 2 has helped improve my coaching practice in that it gives me an advantage in terms of the amount of knowledge and expertise that I have gained/been able to use versus if I would have only completed level 1.”

“I initially signed up for IHP Level 2 because I wanted to learn about functional medicine testing and root causes. I wanted to move beyond traditional health coaching into true wellbeing for all. Level 2 has taught me how to use at home functional medicine testing to get to the root cause of health issues. Although I still believe that foundations are essential, testing helps you to know if you have toxicities or deficiencies which could lead to ill health.”
