NUTRITION SERVICES
Trying To Eat Healthy
Can be Confusing
Are you confused about nutrition? Do you want to eat healthy but don’t know what to eat? There are a ton of different diets that we’re presented with these days: the Keto diet, the
Palio diet, a low carb diet, the no nightshade diet, the no lectins diet, or any of the other
myriad of “diets”.
But are you confused by the choices and approaches? What is right, or optimal, for you? At IIM we understand that one diet does not fit all. Now we can test your APOE gene and can know exactly what nutrition plan is ideal for your genetics.

The APO E gene was discovered in the late 1970’s and is responsible for cholesterol transport in the body. There are three APO E genotypes – 2, 3 and 4. Each person gets one from their Father and one from their Mother, so each person has one of 6 different pairs: 2/2, 2/3, 2/4, 3/3/, 3/4, or 4/4. Each of these 6 genotypes has their own fuel source requirement. For instance, a 2/2 and 2/3 needs more of a long-term fuel source, i.e. healthy fats. Whereas a 3/4 or 4/4 needs has a very difficult time clearing fats and cholesterol and needs more of a short-term fuel source, i.e. healthy carbohydrates. This is why one diet does not fit all. When one knows their APO E and follows a diet based on their APO E gene, inflammation (which is the root of all chronic diseases) is reduced, reversed and/or prevented.
The cost of the APO E gene test is $350 which includes:
APO E gene testing
Office visit to review your results
Perfect Gene Diet Book
Nutritional handouts to help you understand and apply your results.

Healthy nutrition is one of the most important interventions that we employ at IIM. Much of our food system in America is toxic. It is laden with chemicals, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and pesticides that are destroying gastrointestinal and endocrine health. We teach you how to:
Eat healthy,
Choose nutritious foods, and
Determine which foods need to be organic and which foods can be conventionally grown.
We use the foundations of the APO E gene diet. This gene was discovered in the late 1970’s and is responsible for cholesterol transport in the body. When one knows their APO E and follows a diet based on their particular APO E gene, inflammation (which is the root of all chronic diseases) is reduced, reversed and/or prevented. The APO E gene diet and exercise program is a very exciting part of our wellness and disease prevention strategy. We know that 1/3 of all chronic illnesses in America (including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke and auto-immune diseases) can be prevented with diet and exercise. The APO E gene diet and exercise program is a significant contributor to greater health, well-being and disease prevention!
THERAPEUTIC
BODY WORK
Body Work is essential to
your overall wellbeing
Many times we are unaware of how much we hold onto in our physical bodies until we have some body work. We realize that releasing that through body work processes is optimal to health and wellbeing. Here at IIM have practitioners offering multiple forms of therapeutic body work, and can assist you in finding which ones are perfect for you and your body.

Amma Therapy is a complex system of bodywork based on Traditional Chinese Medicine that focuses on the balance and movement of energy within the body. Amma literally means push/pull and includes manipulation, massage and acupressure along the major meridian channels. The techniques of Amma Therapy aim to remove blockages and free the flow of energy in the body, thereby restoring, promoting and maintaining optimal health.
Amma therapy is more than just a physical treatment, as each meridian holds emotional energy. For example, the :
Lung channel holds grief
Kidney channel holds fear
Liver channel holds anger
Heart channel holds nervous energy
Gall Bladder channel holds frustration and/or deep resentment
Mobilizing the energy in these channels can help relieve deeply held emotional energy. Thus, Amma Therapy is a powerful mind/body treatment.

STRESS MANAGEMENT
& TRAUMA WORK
Healing from trauma and stress
Research has shown that over 80% of visits to primary care providers are stress induced or stress related. Therefore, managing stress is an important part of creating optimal health and well being. Some say there is no such thing as stress, it’s just people having stressful thoughts. Chronic stress is killing us.
We are spiritual beings having a human experience. Sometimes that experience contains significant traumatic events that can significantly affect our ability to live a complete and fulfilling life. Our practitioners are skilled in multiple therapies to help resolve trauma.
