The IHS Philosophy
At IHS we believe that as humans, our present health and our health destiny is the sum of our genetics, diet, lifestyle choices, environment and emotions. And as no two humans have exactly the same combination of the above factors, the same symptoms suffered by one person are unlikely to have the same root cause as these symptoms in someone else. As different diseases may manifest as different symptoms from one individual to another there is no one treatment option to resolve any common health concern in all sufferers.
We believe that a healthy, nutritious diet and lifestyle is the key to long-lasting health and vitality, and that every individual should aim for optimum, not average, health. Unfortunately the standard Western diet and lifestyle combined with genetic predisposition mean that many of us suffer poor or substandard health for a large proportion of our lifetime. Some individuals may never have felt really well!
At IHS we believe that there is a distinct and very real need for nutritional experts who have been trained using the functional medicine model in Ireland and the West. We are committed to training our students to the highest standard so they are equipped to enter the healthcare arena and work with individuals to maximise their health potential.
