Iridology Education

11/15/2025

If you’ve learned iridology in a weekend workshop - you are not an iridologist.
If you’ve learned it from a book - you’re not an iridologist either.
If you’ve learned it from short video courses or youtube - you’re still not an iridologist.

NOPE - not even close. As an IIPA-certified Level 3 iridology instructor I fear for anyone who has had an iridology ‘reading’ done by someone who has at most 20 hours of ‘training’ ~ and there are a lot of them out there.

Whether the ‘training’ came from a weekend workshop, a pre-recorded course of just a few hours from an online school, youtube videos (even if they were videos I’ve posted), or a book, there are dangerous deficiencies in the training. They’ve maybe passed some online quizzes for simple fact regurgitation, but there has been no mentoring and no evaluation of their skills in real time. No one correcting their mistakes or coaching them at all.

These so-called iridologists proclaim specific medical states - you have parasites, or your lymphatics are congested, or your pancreas is in trouble - along with the attendant generalized recommendations - do a parasite cleanse, or stop all dairy, or give up all refined sugar, often without even having a conversation with the client. It’s usually all announced from simply looking at smartphone photos of the irides.

To add to the problem, most of these weekend iris-gazers have not had a course in anatomy and physiology, and know only rudimentary bits of nutrition and herbal information.They are practicing paint by number iridology. They sully the practice of iridology by diminishing the research and training that goes into training an iridologist at a professional level. They also devalue what we do and make it more difficult for iridology to be taken seriously by anyone anywhere.

And what is just as bad - when people drop their eye photos into AI and ask for an analysis. Where does AI get its info from? Web sites that are using out-dated and disproved information, and you can bet there are ‘iridologists’ out there who are not trained in anything but AI, who are feeding client photos through AI and claiming to be the author of the ‘report’.

Here' s where you come in. We need more medically trained people - RN’s, post graduate NDs, certified nutrition coaches, and well-trained herbalists to learn constitutional iridology, get certified by the International Iridology Practitioners Association, and use it in practice. You will see how powerful constitutional iridology is as a guiding tool, not a diagnostic tool.

Thanks for reading my rant.

Are you curious about the power of iridology in clincal work? Here's a step-by-step guide of how to use iridology to help your clients.

Q: When is AI not the best answer for your questions?

A: When the newer research has not been widely published.

The first thing we see when we do an internet search is the AI-curated answer. Sometimes it’s got good info that’s helpful, and sometimes it doesn’t.

I’ve heard some interesting stories about how AI has created information, literally made it up, and offered it out as fact when it was purely fiction.

The old saying ‘buyer beware’ is even more true when it comes to AI-generated/curated information.

For our webclass this week I am not consulting AI. It won’t have the answers we’re looking for.

Specifically, we’re going to answer these questions using my 45+ years of experience with iridology.

1. What is constitutional iridology? How is it different from other types of physical iridology?
2. Why does it work?
3. What can it teach us?
4. Why should health professionals use iridology? How will it benefit them and their clients/patients?
5. How should it be used in clinical practice? We’ll do some case studies to demonstrate.

Who Needs Iridology?
Every RN, ND, herbalist, and nutritionist.
And your clients need you to have this skill, too.

Imagine for a moment that you’re an RN, ND, herbalist, or nutritionist. (Or maybe you don’t have to imagine—it’s what you already do.) You’ve built a clinical practice with clients you truly enjoy working with. You’ve got years of experience and great results.
But lately… you’ve been noticing a few things:

1️⃣ Your clients’ conditions are getting more complex.
You know stress, food quality, and food choices are major factors.
You want to run labs—but:

>>Results take 2–4 weeks to come back

>>Clients hesitate about the cost

>>You’re not always sure which tests will give you the most useful insights

>>Or maybe you can’t order labs

So what do you do while you’re waiting for results—or when labs aren’t an option?

2️⃣ There’s more competition than ever before.

How do you stand out?
How do you position yourself as different in ways that matter—especially to the clients you most want to work with?

3️⃣ You’re learning constantly—but time is a challenge.

You continue to take courses to expand your skills and knowledge,and that’s the way it should be.
But keeping appointments on schedule is getting harder because you want to share so much that’s relevant, and your clients are coming in with questions from their internet searches that need answers.
What tools help you quickly sift and sort what your clients most need to know—right now?

Here’s the bottom line.

Each of these challenges can be resolved.

Constitutional Iridology gives you deep insight into the body’s patterns and tendencies.

It helps you:
✅ Prioritize which tests to run—or sometimes skip them altogether
✅ Refine your questions and recommendations
✅ Save time while improving accuracy and client engagement

Becoming certified in Iridology by studying with Iridology Education sets you apart and elevates your clinical skillset.

Because when you combine iridology with your existing training, you don’t just see symptoms—you understand the why behind them.

👉 So, who needs iridology?
Every RN, ND, herbalist, and nutritionist.

EDIT: The day on the graphic is incorrect! The webclass will be on THURSDAY November 6, 2025 at 6-7pm MST. Sorry for any confusion!

Lesions, toxicity, and diagnosis. That’s what I learned in the first few weeks of studying iridology some 45+ years ago. The training was simply one marking equals problems in one area. Period.

I was young and naive and didn’t know to ask questions, let alone what questions to ask.

My first teacher was my mother-in-law. She had studied with Dr Bernard Jensen at his ranch in Escondido, CA. I was pretty impressed. I was her first student and I drank in everything she taught.

Frankly, I was a little afraid of her and didn’t want to look stupid, so even if I had questions, I probably wouldn’t have asked them.

Over the years I’ve continued to study with many more iridology and holistic healing teachers and I’ve learned the value of questions. Not only do I ask questions confidently now, but I encourage my students to sit tall, and ask boldly!

When students ask questions, they are processing information. Those questions need answers.

Information processes in layers, and frequently what looks like a simple question is exactly what needs to be asked to open the door to deeper learning and the integration of the content.

In this webclass we’re going to answer some of the questions I should have asked way back in the beginning of my iridology journey.

These questions will be important for you, too, if you’re new to iridology, wondering what it’s all about, and wondering whether it is worth learning or not.

And we’ll look at eyes, and do some case study work to show you how it can (dare I say should?) be used in a clinical setting.

Plan to join me on:

What’s your go-to assessment tool as a health professional?

Iridology has been around for nearly 200 years, but it's in the last few decades that research in Constitutional Iridology has truly progressed.

In iridology we assess three parts of the eye, (pupil, iris, sclera) to assess health tendencies and understand the inner workings of the body. We’re uncovering patterns, tendencies, and imbalances that help us better understand the whole person.

An accurate and ethical eye assessment always involves the client. It’s a conversation, not a diagnosis. The eyes guide us—not just to better understanding, but to better questions.

💬 Curious to hear from you—what assessment tools do you use? What insights have they given you?

I wish I had all the photos for this!

We started out for an autumn hike in the foothills.

As we drove out of town and looked in the rearview mirror we could see heavy dark clouds in the north. We were headed south on highway 2 and the sky was clear blue with bright sunshine.

Arriving at Claresholm, we headed west into the Porcupine Hills. FYI - we’ve never seen a porcupine in them thar hills.

We found a lovely place to park, and start our hike. Funny - despite blue skies with a few fluffy little clouds there were some ice crystals falling from the sky.

We packed our gear and started hiking. About 2K out, we found a lovely spot to stop for lunch, rested there for a few minutes. Then Hubs started glassing the vista to the east and said ‘looks like there’s weather over there’.

Indeed there were gray clouds to the east - and that’s when the wind started picking up - not gale force, but enough to say we should turn around and head back to the car.

And that’s also when the SNOW started falling. At first it looked like the fake snow you see in store displays at Christmas time - and it soon turned into heavy, wet snow.

By the time we got back to the car, we were slogging through 2” of wet, slippery snow.

And such is life in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies - what started out as a lovely autumn hike turned into the first winter hike of the year!

Take a close look at your next client’s eyes. You might need a magnifying glass to see them. The most important ones are usually tiny.
What extra colors do you see in their eyes?
White? Yellow? Orange? Red? Rust? Brown? Black?

When I first learned iridology in 1980, I was taught one marker equaled problems in one organ.

That was the original Bernard Jensen style of iridology. It was as simple as looking at someone’s eyes, comparing them to a map of the iris, then asking if they had any problems in the areas of the markings. Most of the time, the client did not have issues where the markings were.

It could take hours to do an iridology assessment. Every little mark had to be mapped. It was simple, but took forever to get the job done. The sad part - the result looked like a shotgun pattern. It lacked focus which meant programs built on the assessment were massive as they tried to deal with every marking, they lacked direction, and were difficult to follow leading to inconsistent results. Markings and physiology were not connected in any logical way.

It was easy, but it was not simple and it was inadequate.

Now, iridology is simple. Here I’ve gone over the sequential steps for completing a constitutional iridology assessment in the Dynamic Iridology style.

Total time invested = about an hour. The client leaves the appointment with workable information which, when applied, will lead to visible results that we can build on in our next appointment.
