The Institute was founded in 1984 by Patrick Holford, a psychology graduate whose health had flourished under his own innovative application of principles that are now universally recognised as the benchmark for Optimum Nutrition. ION was quickly established as Europe's largest, most successful and prestigious school of Nutritional Therapy and in 1992 became an independent, not for profit educational charity. Its purpose is to  advance education of the public and health professional in all matters relating to nutrition and to preserve and protect the health of the general public by giving advice, assistance and where necessary treatment through nutritional therapy.
