IHN's On-line Community—Beyond The Virtual Space
With IHN On-line's first graduated group having successfully completed the Applied Holistic Nutrition program, it begs the question of how tight-knit the On-line community really was. Before the Graduation Workshop held for this group, IHN administration and faculty were unaware of how binding their relationships had become, and likely will remain, as professional peers in the field. In the photo above, six of IHN On-line's first graduates were within the proximity of IHN's campus in Mississauga, Ontario. They visited the Mississauga Campus to get their graduation gown photos taken, to catch up, share home-made tea and baked good deliciousness.
IHN On-line was created with the intention of not just providing remote education, but to broaden the horizons of connection and community. It's an exclusive virtual program that employs live, interactive classes with faculty and students, over Zoom. Classmates learn, bond, and grow together, while engaging with each other in both the virtual and physical spaces, when geography allows!

Faculty Feature | Jennifer Hunter CNP, NNCP
We asked Jennifer what she loves about teaching her course and what she loves about IHN:
“I thoroughly enjoy teaching these classes because they are the hands-on application of all of the nutritional information that is learned throughout the program. I love to cook and it is a joy to watch students learn new skills in the kitchen and for them to see how easy healthy cooking can be.
IHN is a wonderful school that includes a large array of courses that culminates into a well rounded program."
Teaching at IHN since 2015
Toronto and Mississauga Campus
Currently Teaching: Holistic Food Preparation

Those of us who work at a desk often do not take advantage of simple exercise to increase productivity throughout the day. In a January 22, 2021 article (3 minute read), Jennifer Wasylenko wrote that "[While] many of us have busy schedules that limit the amount of time we can exercise each day, doing simple stretches throughout the day can be a great option to encourage movement". This article provides instructions and overviews for five stretches that we can take advantage of: seated twist, chest/shoulder opener, seated pigeon, hip flexor stretch, and hamstring stretch.

Walnuts, like all nuts, contain healthy fats including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs). Biotin, manganese, molybdenum, vitamin E, and vitamin B6 are also present, and they contain higher amounts of antioxidants than most other foods. Regularly eating walnuts may improve brain health and reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer. These nuts are simple to incorporate into your diet, as they may be eaten raw and alone, or baked into a variety of dishes. Try IHN graduate Alina Islam's Apple Walnut Parfait today!
