    Quick answer

    The short version

    Integrative Wellness Group is now Integrative You, 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.

    IWG · Belmar, NJ · 2011 → Today

    You typed Integrative Wellness Group. You meant 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.

    The IWG timeline

    A short history of New Jersey's most-referred integrative clinic.

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    4. 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.

    5. 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.

    6. 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.

    7. Today

      Integrative You — US-run, globally served

      Same founders. Same model. Same NJ headquarters. Every NJ county plus 30+ countries. The Belmar evolution made the practice better, not smaller.

    IWG Then → IY Now

    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.

      Integrative You · now

      Companion app with daily prompts, integrations, and reminders so the protocol actually gets lived.

      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.

    Belmar voices · 2016 – 2020

    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 Sam. Hire friendly, teach technical. You do the same. Awesome."
    BruceCleanse · Couples · IWG 2018
    "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."
    RoyNeurological recovery · IWG 2018
    "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."
    Anonymous IWG patientChronic illness · IWG 2018
    "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."
    Charleen A.Root cause · IWG 2018
    "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."
    Chris K.Pain · Performance · IWG 2016
    "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."
    Lisa D.Chronic pain · IWG 2016

    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.

    IWG alumni · welcome home

    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 Sam 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.
