Excitement was in the air in Crossville, Tennessee! It was the location of the Plateau Eat Righter’s Conference and IfHI Certification Testing. This was the first time that Institute for Human Individuality Certification testing was offered outside of an IfHI Conference! Larry Nesbit, the founder of the Plateau Eat Righter’s group and conference organizer, was busy coordinating the conference, greeting friends old and new and anticipating the arrival of his honored guest speaker, Dr. Peter D’Adamo!

The conference kicked off with a Friday night sign-in and get acquainted social gathering for the 100 participants. Delicious, blood type friendly hors d’oeuvres added to the festivity (see recipes below). The attendees mingled with each other and had the opportunity explore exhibits from North American Pharmacal (and meet NAP’s lovely and gracious Nancy Kuhn) and Grasslands Beef. Dr. D’Adamo’s arrival added a new level of anticipation to this enthusiastic group!  

The IfHI Certification was an important part of the event. 30 people were preparing to test to become IfHI Fellows! Candidates for IfHI certification (Fellows) must complete and pass an IfHI administered certification examination. Although most candidates will have had a background in research or healthcare, the examination is open to all.

Dr. Natalie Colicci, a naturopathic physician who works with Dr. D’Adamo in his clinic, was busy helping conference-goers determine their GenoType and coordinating the SWAMI individualized diet software. SWAMI GenoType is a sophisticated computer software system written by Dr. Peter D'Adamo. Dr. D'Adamo wrote the SWAMI GenoType software to harness the power of computers and artificial intelligence, using their tremendous precision and speed to help tailor unique one-of-a kind diets to individuals, based on their blood types, fingerprints, medical history, biometric measurements and over ninety other variables. It then prints out a specific one of a kind diet in an easy to read, friendly format.
