Online Orientation Support For New Students
The Zoom platform continues to allow us to expand our communication strategies! We now welcome new in-class or online students with a series of orientation recordings. They are a primer before the official orientation day, at the start of the semester. This opening video set gives new students an opportunity to meet some of the administration team to help them prepare for their rigorous academic schedule. Pictured above are four of our nine onboarding guides to help strategize and enhance learning outcomes. We kick start IHN's responsive student-administration connection with anticipation!
• Program Policies with Colleen & Carol—outlining important program procedures and organizational guidelines that students need to be aware of while enrolled at IHN.
• Understanding IHNSonisWeb.com with Ovie—navigating our academic software portal that allows students to view course schedules, upload assignments, download content from faculty, and more.
• Academic Reading Strategies with Theodore—developing immersive reading and retention strategies i.e. questioning, analyzing text structure, visualization, summarizing + sleep, exercise and nutrition!
• Learning Styles & Strategies with Amanda—identifying optimal and individual learning styles i.e. visual, aural, physical + retrieval/spaced practice, colour-coded notes and amazing mind mapping techniques!

Content From The Digestive Health Practitioner Masterclass Con Ed Course!
On Tuesday, June 29, 2021, for a 1 hour webinar, as Brett Hawes CNP, CFMP demonstrated how to fuse gut health, functional lab testing, and holistic nutrition to improve autoimmune client outcomes. Autoimmune disease is a collective term that includes over 120 different diseases. Due to its chronic and complex nature, autoimmune disease presents unique challenges for practitioners. Functional nutrition interventions can uncover and resolve the root causes of virtually all autoimmune diseases and help move clients out of symptom management and into remission.

Faculty Feature | Caitie Chevrier
“Teaching is where I feel most myself. For as long as I can remember I’ve stepped into teaching roles; I'd pretty much learn anything as long as I could teach it to someone else later. I’m not sure how else to answer the question, what I love about teaching is that I get to teach! I get to facilitate learning and hopefully inspire some interest in the content, but more than that, inspire an interest in learning in general.”
We asked Caitie what she loves about IHN and teaching her course:
“There are 3 takeaways that I’d like my students to take with them: Always think critically about where your information is coming from, ask tough questions to yourself and others, and stay open-minded. We are bombarded with information daily and it can be really overwhelming. I’d like my students to leave feeling better prepared to sift through the information that comes their way, or at the very least, take a pause and consider where it is coming from.”
“I love that IHN is a place that considerers multiple knowledge systems. It welcomes science and research, historical teachings, spiritual and energy work, clinical expertise, the wisdom of the human body, and more! IHN acknowledges the many avenues we use to acquire information and it allows students to explore these avenues. Where one knowledge stream might fail to account for a phenomenon, we then get to consider and play in alternate streams of knowledge to help answer those questions.”

Whales Have Made A Remarkable Recovery
Canadians agree that 2020 was a challenging year, but not for our whale population. Experts say that Humpbacks, Orcas and North Atlantic Right Whales experienced the biggest biological growth rate in years. Canada has ramped up protection of whales by suspending fisheries in some provinces, whaling, and implementing monitoring systems to prevent boat collisions. In a December 17, 2020 CTV story (4 minute read), “Researchers See Hopeful Signs For Canada's Whale Populations”, Executive Director at the Ocean Tracking Network, Fred Whoriskey, shared “We went from a bad year of a high number of mortalities to none known lost in Canadian waters this year.”

The modern oat is originally derived from Asia's wild red oat, which was considered a weed amongst other grain crops. Oats are a cereal grain known for their starring role in oatmeal, or porridge, the breakfast that is easy on digestion, and warms bellies on cool mornings. Avena sativa, the Latin name for oats, has a calming effect on the nervous system, perfect for those looking to build resistance to stress and burnout. Oats are a rich source of B vitamins, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc. Try this Raw Choco-Oat-Bites recipe by IHN graduate Rebecca Rausch.
