Quick answer
The short version
Integrative Wellness Group is now Integrative You — a self-led health practice built on root-cause testing and the DNA precision program, and the virtual-first successor to the former Belmar, New Jersey clinic. The same founders, Dr. Nicole Rivera and Dr. Nick Carruthers, still lead the root-cause programs now routed through Foundation, DNA Precision, and Private Concierge.
Looking for Integrative Wellness Group in Belmar, NJ? You found us.
The Belmar doors closed in 2022. The chiropractor didn't lose the keys, the practice didn't ghost you, and Dr. Nicole & Dr. Nick are still very much the loud, opinionated, Klinghardt-trained black sheep you remember.
Same doctors. Same root-cause work. Same NJ headquarters. Now under the name Integrative You — delivered virtually, with the equipment we used at the clinic shipped to your house. Nobody's asking you to drive 90 minutes down the Parkway again.
Black Sheep · Since Belmar · 2011
"Other clinics treated the lab value. We treated the human who happened to have one."
What Integrative Wellness Group became
Helping self-led families build lives they do not need to recover from.
Success should not cost you your health, your home, or yourself. The clinic work that ran out of Belmar — epigenetic testing, Klinghardt-trained root-cause sequencing, whole-family care — now runs through two programs you can start from anywhere.
DNA Precision · self-led
Epigenetic hair analysis, then a protocol built for your biology
- 12-dimension hair analysis — metals, mycotoxins, parasites, nutrient gaps standard labs miss
- Supplement and therapy protocol written to your results, not a template
- Recalibration every 90 days as your terrain changes
- Optional doctor review of your results with Dr. Nicole
Private Concierge · doctor-led
The Belmar experience, delivered to your house
- Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick on your case directly, family included
- Full workup: bloodwork, DNA, and the in-room testing we ran at the clinic
- Clinic-grade equipment shipped to you, with the protocol to use it
- Healing phases with a re-evaluation at the end of every increment
What self-led health actually means
Self-led health is not doing it alone. It is holding the file. You know which root cause is driving your symptoms, which test proved it, which intervention is next and why — so no appointment is ever the only place your health exists.
The Belmar clinic taught us the failure mode of the opposite model. Patients came in stable and left dependent on a room. When the room closed, the progress closed with it. Everything built since is designed so the protocol lives in your house, in your hands, with the reasoning written down.
- Testing before treatment. No protocol is written from symptoms alone.
- The reasoning is yours. Every report explains why, not just what.
- Retest on a clock. Ninety days, then the plan changes with the biology.
- The whole household. Root causes are shared: water, air, food, genetics.
How the DNA precision program works
Blood finds what is there today. DNA explains whether it matters for you. The DNA precision program reads a hair sample across twelve dimensions — heavy metals, mycotoxins, parasites, nutrient gaps, and the epigenetic expression behind them — then writes the protocol from that result rather than from a category.
- Hair sample collected at home and posted to the lab.
- Assessments completed so the clinical picture sits beside the data.
- Two reports: root causes, then the solutions plan built from them.
- Optional doctor review with Dr. Nicole to sequence what to do first.
- Recalibration every ninety days as the terrain shifts.
It is the same reasoning that ran in Belmar, minus the drive. Former IWG patients usually start here and move into Private Concierge only when the case needs doctors on it directly.

Now virtual as Integrative You
A short history of New Jersey's most-referred integrative clinic.
2011
IWG opens in Belmar
Dr. Nicole Rivera and Dr. Nick Carruthers open Integrative Wellness Group in a Belmar storefront. The thesis: most NJ chronic illness wasn't being root-caused.
2015–2019
6,000 sq ft + 20 employees
The practice outgrows three locations and lands in its final 6,000 sq ft facility. Adjusting suites, infrared sauna, LLLT, ionic detox, movement studio, full lab. Patients in NJ + flying in from the US, EU, Australia, and Japan.
2017
The home-equipment company
We launch a sister company to ship AmpCoil, red light, brain entrainment, bioresonance, and foot-bath devices to long-distance patients. We discover virtual patients are outperforming the ones driving in weekly.
2021
Our son arrives
Running a 20+ employee NJ clinic while being present parents stops being sustainable. The virtual + home-equipment data is already pointing at the next model.
2022
Belmar closes — the practice doesn't
We close the brick-and-mortar and rebuild from scratch as a virtual concierge integrative medicine practice. Outcomes with focused founders and a tighter system are astounding.
2025
Foundation + DNA Precision open
Concierge worked, but the mission was always broader access. Foundation ($348/quarter) and DNA Precision bring the IWG model to families who couldn't have afforded the brick-and-mortar.
Today

Same model. Hybrid delivery. Even better.
We kept everything that worked at the Belmar clinic and stripped out the parts that capped how many people we could actually help. Every row below: what IWG offered then, what Integrative You delivers now, and the part that's measurably better.

Lived, not filed
The Belmar clinic taught us what root-cause medicine needed to look like at scale. Integrative You is what we built once we stopped being capped by walls, drive time, and a front desk.
What IWG patients actually said.
Real intake forms. Real submissions. First name, last initial — the way the consent form said it would be. We didn't edit out the spicy parts.
"We just bought a home in Belmar and felt our prayers were answered when I came across your practice. My wife is on board — even doing the 21-day cleanse with Dr. Nicole. Hire friendly, teach technical. You do the same. Awesome."
"After leaving your facility this morning I went up the front stairs on my left leg — without pulling myself up with my arms. Yesterday I had to push step by step with my right. This is BIG. Like turning on a light switch. Fixed."
"I was at a low, desperate point. There were times I was frustrated and doubting the program — and no one flinched. Every visit I was met with a person ready to roll up their sleeves and troubleshoot. THAT is healthcare. Thank you."
"I'm forever grateful to have IWG in my life. Medical doctors said 'that's because of your age' or 'that's normal.' IWG listened and found the root of the cause. That means the world to me."
"Before IWG I lived with severe back pain for 3 years — couldn't get out of bed or sit through school. After 3 months I finished the NYC Marathon and started training for USA Triathlon Nationals. Dr. Nick's chiropractic + sound-wave therapy turned my life around."
"I was a skeptic — and I told Dr. Nick so. Several chiropractors over the years, no relief. Now I live my days happier, focused, energized, and pain-free. This skeptic became a believer. You were put in my life for a reason."
Testimonials are submitted patient experiences from the IWG Belmar era. Individual results vary. Integrative You programs do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.
The Belmar voice — in their own words.
No actors. No B-roll glow. Real IWG patients explaining what changed when somebody finally looked at the whole pattern instead of one symptom.

You don't have to start over. We kept your file in our head.
If you came up through the Belmar years — Dr. Nicole, Dr. Nick, or any of the old IWG practitioner team — you're not a new lead. You're family that moved away for a minute. Drop your chart number (or just your old practitioner's name and a year that rings a bell) and Dr. Nicole will pull the historical context forward before anyone talks to you.
Most returning IWG patients route into Foundation or Private Concierge. If your case has evolved a lot since Belmar (it usually has), start with the free quiz so we re-route correctly instead of guessing.
