Close your eyes and think about five people you are close to. A recent study has found that one in five people could potentially die from bad eating habits.
That means that one of those loved ones you thought of could be at risk of a diet-related death!
Sorry to say this so plainly, guys, but this is not an acceptable statistic! You shouldn’t have to worry about one in five people you know, heck, two in ten people you know and love dying from bad dietary choices — nobody should!
In fact, this shouldn’t even be a statistic! Why? Because diet is something we can control — something we can choose to improve!
THE STUDY
This recent research review published by The Lancet found that poor diets are linked to 20 percent of all deaths worldwide! (There’s that one in five statistic!)
This study analyzed nearly 20 years of dietary data from 195 countries! (That’s a lot of countries and a really long time!!)
They did this study, alongside epidemiological studies, about nutrition-related health risks and benefits.
They found that poor diets killed about 11 million people around the world in 2017!! Get this, most of the deaths were linked to cardiovascular disease and cancer, which are both related to a subpar diet!
You might be thinking, “Oh, this study was for sure done in lower income areas — areas around the world that are poor and deprived.”
Not true!
According to the study co-author Dr. Ashkan Afshin, “Diet is an equal-opportunity killer. People — independent of age, gender, country of residence and socioeconomic status — to some extent are affected by poor dietary habits.”
So what does that mean? It means that these results are showing up in every community — it’s showing up everywhere, for everyone!
Dr. Ashkan Afshin goes on to say that, “Low intake of healthy foods and high intake of unhealthy foods is the leading cause of mortality, globally and in many countries.”
It’s not necessarily the high intake of unhealthy food! (Raise your hand if that’s what you think it would be! Us too!)
So, what does this tell us?
It tells us that people WANT to do the right thing in most cases, it’s just that they don’t know HOW to eat healthy or what amounts are right for them! Despite all of the information we have on the what and how of healthy eating, people still need help!
WE TAKE ACTION
At ITN, it hurts our hearts to see information like this. When we hear stats like this, we don’t just sit back and hope someone else finds a solution. Oh, no no!
We dive right in, and we take action!
How are we making an impact on this epidemic?
Well, for starters, we’re not teaching cookie cutter diets and practices that are outdated and quite frankly, don’t work!
We train our Health Coaches on how to work with their clients to create a personalized health plan! Why? Because personalized health is the FUTURE of health!
In fact, we’re the only health coaching school that teaches a proven system to create personalized nutrition plans that get clients REAL result! #realtalk
We know that in order to help your clients, you have to understand them — understand where they are coming from and the trauma they have experienced.
This study proves that people need personalized plans for their health! It’s clear that they aren’t providing their bodies with an adequate amount of healthy, life-giving foods that they require individually!
3 WAYS ITN IS CREATING A HEALTHIER WORLD WORLD
1. A PROVEN COACHING SYSTEM
Are you currently a Health Coach? Do you find yourself full of questions like…
- “I don’t know what to do! I’m totally responsible for my client’s health!”
- “How do I ask the right questions?’
- “What do I have them eat?”
- “Do they need supplements?”
Or perhaps, you’ve been thinking about becoming a Health Coach, and these stats just made you even hungrier to become one!
Here’s where many Health Coaches fall short and hold not only their clients back from success but also their coaching business. (Maybe you can relate!)
You take an approach to health that has worked well for you, and you take the best parts of it to create a “plan.” You then push that plan on every client that walks through your door. (It’s okay if you have done this, you’re not alone!)
After many years of research and following through on studies like the one in this article, ITN has created the world’s first and only health coaching system that provides personalized health coaching for your client!
Do you know what that means? It means that there is NO guesswork!
Yep, we’re talking getting your clients results, giving you tools to build a successful business, the opportunity to do something you love, a way to support your family financially, and to make a massive impact in the world!
It means you get to live that dream life you’ve always wanted while doing good in this world! #herostatus
2. PERSONALIZED NUTRITION
Yes, we keep saying this over and over again, but it’s THAT important! Mark Cuban said it so well, “Personalized health is the future of healthcare!”
Long gone are the days of giving your clients a meal plan (which you’ve used with every other client), alongside a protocol (which you’ve also used with every other client.)
People are looking (and need!) a plan to improve their health that fits their lifestyle — a plan that allows you to meet your clients where they are at and say, “Let’s start here!”
They are looking for coaches, like you, who can see them as they are and give them the tools needed to get where they want to go — to a healthier version of themselves!
If you’re coaching with old-school protocols and meal plans, for the love of the world, stop right now!
Let this study light a fire in you to learn how to guide your clients through a personalized plan that fits their lifestyle and their needs!

3. A HOLISTIC APPROACH
At ITN, we don’t just focus on the science of nutrition. We also pull in the psychology and spirituality of nutrition!
We ask psychological questions like…
- “Why do you know what to do but you still don’t do it?”
- “What are those traumas that create those urges and those cravings and how do you get rid of them?”
As a Certified Transformational Nutrition Coach, you learn to ask these questions because they play a huge role in your health!
Spiritually (which can be religious or not!) is another game changer when it comes to your health! Feeling a spiritual connection to yourself, your community, something higher than you, and connection to your environment can change how you heal and how you maintain your health!
Then, of course, you must understand the science of nutrition to tie this all together holistically!
When you merge all of these together, you get something beautiful — you get Transformational Nutrition!
Transformational Nutrition is the way you get your clients results and the only way you can build a successful health coaching business — it’s the way you show up and make a difference in the world!
