Former CNN and Today Show health correspondent Meg Jordan has become co-president of the National Wellness Institute (NWI) after operating as a board member for the past 13 years.
Jordan is a medical anthropologist, an international health journalist and a behavioural health specialist. She is a professor and chair of integrative health studies at the California Institute of Integral Studies. The education programmes are non-clinical degrees that prepare graduates for careers as wellness coaches, programme managers and much more.
Successful students of Jordan’s classes assume leadership roles in a variety of settings such as integrative health and medicine clinics, international global health organisations, holistic health spas and corporate wellness programmes.
In her role as director of integrative practice as a clinical medical anthropologist, Jordan experienced hands-on practical knowledge of helping patients navigate healing options for chronic ailments. As president of Global Medicine Enterprises and editor in chief of American Fitness Magazine, Jordan is an expert in both practical and theoretical elements of the wellness industry.
Founded in 1977, the NWI was formed to promote health and provide wellness professionals with the resources and services that support professional and personal growth.
Jordan’s extensive experience, defining educational benchmarks for health and wellness coaches and promoting the need for national certification will allow her – as co-president of NWI – to overcome industry obstacles faced by her own graduates in an increasingly competitive market.
