Discover what becoming an IHP Coach is really all about as Dr. Stephen Cabral reveals the inside knowledge behind the course & Health Coaching Certification.
20 years ago it took all of my energy just to get out of bed each day…Every joint in my body hurts and every lymph node was swollen –
My entire immune system was shutting down and I had what doctors and specialist referred to as an incurable illness…
They gave me no hope of recovery.
I was told at best I would need to take a fistful of medication for the rest of my life and do my best to manage my diseases. That bleak diagnosis led me down a very dark path of anger, despair, and self-pity. I questioned whether this was even a life worth living?
After all, I could no longer play sports, study in school, or go out late with friends…
I felt I had nothing left.
Until one day by sheer chance my mom was told about a local “Integrative Health Practitioner” just one town over from us – The odds of this back in the late 1990’s was extremely rare! Sitting in his office and hearing him explain to me how there was most likely some underlying root cause of my disease was life changing… He spoke to me about food sensitivities, adrenal imbalances, and many other natural health terms that were foreign to me and my family.
He also shared with me how stress, sleep, diet, exercise, and many other lifestyle factors contributed to my getting sick… I literally couldn’t believe what I was hearing, but I innately knew he was speaking the truth.
This one encounter led me down a new path – One that was based around science, but rooted in natural health meant to restore the human body back to its natural state of health and vitality. For the next few years I read every book I could find on diet, health, and fitness while running multiple lab tests. I was slowly accumulating the knowledge I would need to one day fully heal, but it all disconnected.
And, that’s when my mentor appeared. “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear…” I was ready! I listened to her every word and she finally connected state-of-art Functional Medicine with other Naturopathic forms of medicine such as Ayurveda. Not only did I now fully heal my body, but I made it my mission to take this lost knowledge and study it at its deepest level at the source.
I studied and interned at clinics and hospitals all over the world studying all forms of medicine and healing in India, Sri Lanka, China, Europe, and the US. And, what I discovered was that each one of these forms of natural health can help people get well, lose the weight, and live longer stronger, but by themselves they were incomplete. It is only when you integrate all forms of healing without judging which one is best, can you truly heal yourself and others.\
Now, 250,000 client appointments later and with one of the largest Functional Medicine practices in the world I can with full certainty say, I invite you to discover what truly works in the real world so that you can go on to help yourself, your family, your community, or go on to build a career as a leading Integrative Health Practitioner.
Every module is taken directly from Dr. Cabral’s private practice, which includes the exact handouts and protocols he recommends! All modules and course materials are delivered right online with your private member log-in. You can begin whenever you are ready and move at your own pace.
(A new module opens up to you each week automatically.)
In this first module I will teach you how to use this course or certification in order for you to get the most out of your IHP experience! You’ll also find out how to get support whenever you need it at no additional cost… We’re here to help you succeed!
With over 3 hours of video presentations, handouts, and details on how to customize diet plans based on each individual you will truly understand why there is no one diet for everyone! Plus you will learn advanced tips on improving digestion and transforming your body and those of the clients you work with. This module is the foundation for getting well, losing weight, and living longer stronger!
Just like a diet, there is no one exercise program that is right for everyone. Programs should be based on an individual’s current state. And, as a person heals and becomes well their training routine should adapt with them as well. Learn all the ins and outs, as well as enjoy numerous handouts to use in your life or practice!
One of the missing pieces to the puzzle as to why some people can’t seem to lose the weight, get well, rebalance hormones, or feel alive again is due to stress. This is why understanding the natural diurnal rhythms of the body, as well as the autonomic nervous system is imperative if you hope to help people get well permanently. I’ll provide you with the knowledge and skills to implement these techniques in your life and in the lives of others!
It wasn’t until I learned about Ayurvedic detoxification protocols, as well as Functional Medicine detoxes that I realized one of the reasons your body can’t rebalance itself is that it is overwhelmed by the 77,000+ documented man-made chemicals in the environment. These can be seen and tested on labs and until your liver, kidneys, skin, lungs, and GI tract can eliminate them it will be difficult to get 100% well.
I’ll teach you how completing Functional Medicine detoxification protocols are actually easier to do than you may believe and how it can be the difference maker in putting the body in a position to heal itself!
Rest goes well beyond telling a tired person to take a nap and get more sleep at night… If only it were that easier to rejuvenate the body! I’ll explain in this module how resetting the autonomic nervous system and vagal nerve center is the key to enjoying more energy without necessarily getting more sleep. This module is not to be missed!
In conventional medicine, MDs are not trained to take into consideration a person’s mental state. This is unfortunate since you can provide someone with the best plan available, but if their negative emotions or pre-conceived outcome that they can’t get well prevails then all is for not…This is why we must help people understand that their psychology (beliefs) has actually been proven by science to affect their physiology (health, weight, aging, etc.). You will learn how to see what may be holding someone back and how to guide them in the right direction in both mind and body in order to heal!
As a certified Integrative Health Practitioner you understand that food is first andforemost the path to healing the body. But, you will also come to learn that when the body has become deficient in certain nutrients or the digestion has become weak, often times food is not enough initially in order to give the body what it needs in order to rebalance itself. This is why Functional Medicine nutritional supplements can make a huge difference in recovery. In Level 1 you’ll learn about the top products and our Foundational Program for rebalancing the body!
The DESTRESS Protocol® I’ve developed over the past 2 decades is capped off with knowing you can and will heal your body. There is an answer. This is why in our final module we will help you to change your success mindset and offer plans in order for you to help others set goals and achieve them. You or your practice will turn into goal attainment machines and you’ll have the success stories to show for it!
Not everyone will take the certification path, but I do recommend it… The reason is this: I’ve helped thousands of people become their own wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging success stories – They never knew life could look and feel so great! And, once they discovered this for themselves they had to share it with others.

Level 1 of the IHP course and certification goes in depth on the DESTRESS Protocol as first revealed in the Rain Barrel Effect. It is over 25 hours of detailed protocols, handouts, and the exact recommendations Dr. Cabral uses in his practice to help people lose weight, get well, and feel alive again!
All the modules are discussed above on this page and most modules will contain an additional 2-5 hours of optional podcast and article references for those that want more in depth knowledge on that particular topic.
IHP Level 1 will be released 1 week at a time and you will need to pass an exam/quiz at the end of each module in order to move on to the next. This allows for mastery in a particular area before accumulating more knowledge.
Level 2 of the Integrative Health Practitioner certification will be dedicated to teaching you how, when, where, and why to run each Functional Medicine lab test.
You’ll also become an expert on learning how to read each lab, what the results mean, how to explain that information to others using handouts and easy to understand terminology, and much more!
After fully understanding the labs you’ll then be taken through the specific healing protocols that Dr. Cabral uses in his practice based on a wellness client’s lab results.
There is no rush on how quickly you must move through the IHP course or certification. Most people will take somewhere between 3-6 months to complete the IHP Level 1 certification.
Plus, once you become IHP L2 certified you’ll have the option and ability to run labs through EquiLife with your own clients – And, you’ll get advice on case studies and direct feedback from the IHP L2 community!
To become IHP Level 2 certified you must pass Level 1 first since the information contained in the DESTRESS Protocol is the prerequisite and basis for all Personalized Wellness Plans®. By signing up today for both IHP Levels you will save a minimum of $1,000 versus purchasing them individually!
As a valued member of the IHP Community we’ve made our Business Course free (Value $3,997) for all IHPs who complete Level 1 of our Certification!
This course will give you the blueprint for how to start and grow your business.
In our new IHP Business Course you’ll learn:
We’ve seen other Certifications in the health coaching industry charging $3000-$5000 for similar courses, but…
It was so important to us to provide it for free, as part of our IHP Certification, because we want you to finish with the knowledge and confidence to create a career doing what you love – helping as many people as possible start their journey towards wellness!
With dozens of health coaching certifications being offered why would you choose IHP? When reviewing all your options, the difference becomes crystal clear. Most certifications are a medley of gurus in the health industry and are quite knowledgeable…. However, very few of them practice in the real world and are not accustomed to how to adjust protocols, read labs, or integrate all healing modalities.
Becoming an IHP Coach is the only way to draw upon both state-of-the-art Functional Medicine while combining it with the ancient healing knowledge of Eastern Medicine and philosophies. There is no comparison and no other certification comes close to providing you with the exact protocols and Personalized Wellness Plans of one of the largest Natural Health Practices in the world run by Dr. Cabral.
Through undergrad, grad school, internship travel, 3,000+ books, doctor’s appointments, supplements, and dozens of certifications in health and fitness Dr. Cabral has invested over $300,000 on his health and education. The good news Dr. Cabral took that path so that you don’t have to.
You’ll find that other leading Certifications charge between $5,000 and $8,000 to become certified. Some even charge $3,000-$5,000 per individual module and you need to complete 5 of them to have a full education on how to help people with various health issues – That’s over $25,000!
Dr. Cabral is focused on spreading a message of hope and healing to the world and developing as large of a community as possible to reach more people which is why he wants to make this Certification easily accessible and affordable. You can study on your own, anywhere in the world with just internet access and a laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Additionally, for a limited-time, you can save close to 50% on all IHP levels. Finances should never be the reason you can’t take your health and the ability to help others to the next level.
In the last module of your IHP Certification you will learn how to set up a simple, stress-free practice that enables you to share your message with the world and get paid for doing so. When you provide value combined with results, there will always be people in need of your Health Coaching services. Discover the benefit of having your Health Coach Certification today.
Plus, we will provide you with all the tools you need in terms of Functional Medicine lab testing, nutritional supplements (your choice), handouts, referral networks and much more in order to become the go-to person in your area!
And remember, after 30 days we’ll also make you an ambassador of EquiLife.com (if you choose to) so you can earn a commission on each referral you make. You do not have to refer anyone or choose to be compensated for referrals, but it’s our way of saying thank you and giving you a way to earn back your IHP Certification investment with just a couple of referrals.
We guarantee that taking this Integrative Health Practitioner Certification or course will be one of the greatest investments in yourself that you’ve ever made.

You can go back and forth on making a big decision like this for days or weeks, but I’ve always found that when I’m motivated and ready that is the best time to take action. I’m almost always assured of getting right into what I was interested in and moving forward in my life…
I want you to make the best decision for you, but I have no doubt that becoming an IHP Coach very well could be the stepping stone you need to take back the optimal health you deserve, and create the rewarding career you can look back and be proud of.
The health & fitness field has changed my life, and I hope that today I can share what I’ve discovered along the way with you. I can’t wait to welcome you into the IHP Community and I look forward to speaking with you soon inside our private group!

Today in Dr. Cabral’s online and Boston practice, where he and his team have completed over 250,000 client appointments, he uses Functional Medicine lab testing and Personalized Wellness Plans to help people rebalance their mind and body to recover from auto-immune, thyroid, fatigue, hormone, weight gain, digestive, childhood, mood, skin, and dozens of other hard to treat health conditions.
His mission is to help people understand that there is always a reason why you have not achieved your ideal wellness or weight loss goals and that you can and will get well again!
