Fellows of the Institute for Human Individuality (FIFHI) are health professionals and lay educators who have completed certification under the guidance and tutelage of Dr. Peter D'Adamo, the IfHI Academic Dean. IfHI Fellows are fully capable of applying the principles of the Blood Type Diet(tm) in both their respective practices and in educating the general public. The Institute for Human Individuality (IfHI) a 501c3 under Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, has as its prime goal the fostering of research in the in the expanding area of human nutrigenomics and epigenetics. These emerging sciences seek to provide a molecular understanding for how common dietary chemicals affect health by altering the expression or structure of an individual’s genetic makeup. The five basic tenets of nutrigenomics are: * Improper diets are risk factors for disease. * Dietary chemicals alter gene expression and/or change genome structure * The degree to which diet influences the balance between healthy and disease states may depend on an individual’s genetic makeup. * Some diet-regulated genes (and their normal, common variants) are likely to play a role in the onset, incidence, progression, and/or severity of chronic diseases. * "Intelligent nutrition" - that is, diets based upon genetics, nutritional requirements and status - prevents and mitigates chronic diseases
