"I’m a lab junkie and I love data. I was attracted to being able to help more clients with labs showing neurotransmitter issues, mold toxicity and infertility. The comprehensive approach to protocols and expanded knowledge base on how all of these health issues are interwoven.

Your Common Questions, Clarified

We understand that choosing the right certification path is a big decision. Here are answers to the questions we hear most often:

WHAT IS THE IHP LEVEL 3 CERTIFICATION?

The IHP Level 3 Certification is the most advanced training within the Integrative Health Practitioner pathway. It is designed to shape practitioners into leaders capable of guiding complex health cases using deeper clinical reasoning, advanced at-home functional lab analysis, and targeted root-cause wellness protocols.

Through this certification, practitioners learn how to read advanced functional lab results, recognize patterns across multiple body systems, and apply strategic wellness protocols for clients experiencing layered or unresolved health challenges.

Completing IHP Level 3 places practitioners among the most highly trained health coaches, equipping them with the expertise, clinical judgment, and practitioner authority required to guide advanced cases. For many graduates, this level of training represents entry into the top 1% of health coaches, capable of supporting clients when symptoms persist and previous approaches have failed to uncover answers.

Pricing varies based on monthly promotions and each Level. Please give us a call anytime to discuss our packages and we can go over the best option for you. We also have payment plans and can go into more details. Feel free to book an appointment with one of our Enrollment Advisors here.

WHAT ARE THE PREREQUISITES FOR THE IHP LEVEL 3 CERTIFICATION?

To enroll in the IHP Level 3 Certification, students must first complete IHP Level 1 and IHP Level 2. These foundational certifications provide the essential training in root-cause health coaching, functional lab analysis, and the DESTRESS™ Protocol that Level 3 builds upon.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO COMPLETE IHP LEVEL 3?

The IHP Level 3 Certification includes 8 modules and more than 40 hours of expert instruction. Because the program is 100% online and self-paced, practitioners can complete the training on their own schedule. While the modules are released every two weeks, most students graduate in approximately 3-6 months, depending on how quickly they move through the curriculum.

IS THE IHP LEVEL 3 CERTIFICATION ONLINE?

Yes. The IHP Level 3 program is 100% online and self-paced, allowing practitioners to complete the certification from anywhere in the world while continuing to work with clients or run their health coaching practice.

HOW IS IHP LEVEL 3 DIFFERENT FROM LEVELS 1 & 2?

IHP Levels 1 and 2 provide the foundation of integrative health coaching, lifestyle protocols, and functional lab analysis.

IHP Level 3 builds on that foundation by expanding practitioner expertise through advanced functional lab training, allowing graduates to guide multi-system health challenges and more complex client cases.

Within the IHP Level 3 program, practitioners learn how to analyze and apply advanced at-home labs related to mold toxicity and mycotoxins, neurotransmitter balance, environmental toxicity, toxic heavy metals, fertility and menopause hormone health, and stress and sleep regulation.

This deeper training strengthens the practitioner’s ability to recognize patterns across multiple body systems and apply targeted root-cause wellness protocols when foundational strategies are no longer enough.

IS THE IHP LEVEL 3 CERTIFICATION WORTH IT FOR HEALTH COACHES?

For health coaches who want to guide more complex client cases and operate at a higher level within the wellness industry, IHP Level 3 represents a significant step forward in practitioner development.

While many health coaching programs focus primarily on lifestyle strategies, the IHP Level 3 Certification expands a practitioner’s ability to analyze advanced at-home functional lab results, recognize multi-system health patterns, and apply targeted root-cause wellness protocols.

This deeper level of training helps practitioners move beyond foundational coaching and develop the clinical reasoning required to support clients experiencing persistent or unresolved health challenges.

For many graduates, completing IHP Level 3 marks the transition from health coach to highly skilled Integrative Health Practitioner, placing them among the top 1% of health coaches trained to guide complex health cases with clarity, structure, and authority.
