Herbal Medicine Herb & Weeds Walks!
The much-anticipated events reconnect classmates to explore the healing curiosities of nature. As students and graduates know, having the opportunity to take part in an experiential assignment where they get to "adventure and learn about herbs" that grow in their region, is invaluable. In the June 21st Weekly Digest we shared photos of Vancouver students with their Herbal Medicine instructor, Fiona Smulders, enjoying their time at Jericho Park. Pictured here, Toronto and Mississauga instructor, Eva Cabaca, is with students on their Herb Walk at Toronto Botanical Gardens. Also pictured, Ottawa instructor, Corrie Rabbe, brings students on an informative tour of the Arboretum at Dow's Lake in the heart of Ottawa. This hands-on experience creates lasting memories and often inspires graduates to further their studies in herbal medicine once they complete IHN's diploma program.

Faculty Feature | Justin Scott
“The main takeaway I want my students to leave with is the ability to create their own recipes. Having students learn more about plant-based foods and the health benefits of eating seasonally makes for a healthier approach to food preparations. I also hope the students feel inspired to be in the kitchen and confident in their knife skills.”
We asked Justin what he loves about IHN and teaching his course:
“What I love about teaching is being able to show students skills and culinary techniques. Seeing students gain more confidence in the kitchen is truly rewarding. I really enjoy watching what the students create for their recipe presentations.
I love IHN because it focuses on living a clean, healthy, holistic lifestyle. They collaborate with the instructors which makes for an enjoyable learning experience for the students. IHN educates students to become professional health practitioners for the future.”

How Sense Of Smell Supports Nutrition
A new study reveals that what we eat affects our sense of smell and how that regulates what we eat. Northwestern University Professor and study author Thorsten Kahnt explains the findings in a September 8, 2021, One Green Planet article (2 minute read), “How Your Sense Of Smell May Be The Key To A Balanced Diet”, using our ancestor’s diet of berries as an example. Over time, they were no longer sensitive to the smell of berries but, “maybe they’re still sensitive to the smell of mushrooms. So it could theoretically help facilitate diversity in food and nutrient intake.”

While not everyone’s cup of tea, the nutritional profile of liver cannot be denied. In Western culture, organ meats are often overlooked and discarded in favour of muscle cuts. Liver is one of the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet, containing significant amounts of folate, iron, vitamin A, B2, B12, copper, and choline. One serving of liver meets your daily requirement for all of these vitamins and minerals. If any food is worth being called a superfood, it’s this one. Incorporate nature’s multivitamin today with this Liver Meatballs recipe by IHN graduate Heather Woodruff.
