Tamara Mariea, Founder and Director of Internal Balance, Inc., is a biochemist and Certified Clinical Nutritionist, who has worked with clients from all over the world for years, helping them improve their health and quality of life through detoxification, bioenergetics and nutrition.

In 2000, Mariea opened a private wellness practice, Internal Balance Inc., which is today located in Nashville, Tennessee. She founded the clinic based on the research and principals of Dr. Roger Williams in 1950 at The University of Texas, Austin known as Biochemical Individuality, as well as Dr. Jeffery Bland’s research on Genetic Nutritioneering at The Functional Medicine Institute in Gig Harbor, WA. However, she has branched out into other more critical and synergistic disciplines such as environmental wellness, detoxification and bioenergetics. Some of the developed strategies and principles of her practice are based on Einstein’s theories of quantum physics, encompassing her approach with bioenergetic therapeutics. Although she is highly sought after and receives accolades for her work with some of the biggest names in professional baseball, football and basketball players, Mariea has helped hundreds of clients; from children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and brain injuries, to adults battling the on-set of Alzheimer’s, ALS and other neurodegenerative conditions.

The universally respected Nutrition Detox and Performance Programs that many MBL, FNL and NBA athletes incorporate into their preventative health care was developed by Mariea.

For the past year Mariea has been collaborating with George Carlo, Ph.D., M.S.,J.D., founder of the Science and Public Policy Institute . The conclusions from her years of clinical research are often included in Dr. Carlo's speeches which he presents at scholarly/medical meetings through out the world. Mariea's research is helping to clarify the issues and challenges surrounding an environmental increase in biogenetic toxins.

Dr. Stephen L. Reisman, M.D., an alternative medicine physician in Nashville and Mariea have also worked closely together in the past few years on cases involving Internal Balance, Inc.’s clients.

Recognizing that there may be a significant connection between the increases in incidence of many diseases today and the exponential increase in cell phone use for the past three decades, Mariea has implemented Bioenergetic Medicine into her detoxification process. She and her clients are realizing truly remarkable results. Mariea’s education and research is expansive in the area of personalized wellness care for the individual and, as such, she has been asked to present her research in the inaugural issue of The Journal of Clinical Bioenergetics to be published in late 2007.

Personal challenges several years ago, moved Mariea’s career in a specific direction that has proven important to her clients: In 2002, Mariea, who had always prided herself on taking care of her health through nutrition and exercise, found herself in a debilitating situation. Mariea suffered from confusion, dizziness, difficulty breathing, increased sensitivity, irritability, nose bleeds and debilitating headaches after a lawn care company treated her property with a type of pesticide poisoning. It became apparent that the residue entered her neurological system with damaging effects.

Dr. William Rea, a well-known environmental medical doctor, began treating Mariea and introduced her to the physiological process of detoxification. Because of the excellent results she achieved personally, she began to incorporate detoxification into her own practice with tremendous success.

A decade before her own health crisis, the death of her closest friend from Leukemia in 1992, prompted Mariea to dedicate her professional career to improving the health of others. Her study and commitment to nutrition as an avenue to better health, was an important step in her evolving career.

Early in her career, Mariea became a Sanitarian and a Certified Hazardous Materials Specialist and built a reputation as an expert in industrial and commercial toxicology, consulting with industry management on proper environmental health & safety procedures, hazardous waste management, air emission control standards and water quality. She also participated in large scale Superfund Site Clean-Ups and many other waste site remedial projects. She was often the liaison between regulatory entities such as the EPA, OSHA and industry polluters.

Mariea received a BS in Biology/Biochemistry from Bowling Green State University in 1990. She began her Post-Graduate work in 1998 in Clinical Nutrition through the American Academy of Nutrition and the Clinical Nutrition Certification Board (CNCB) out of Dallas, TX, where she graduated with high honors in 2000.

Dr. Carlo is presently the Chairman of the non-profit, Science and Public Policy Institute based in Washington, D.C. His current focus is the Safe Wireless Initiative project. He has training in pathology, epidemiology, medical science and law, is a Fellow of the American College of Epidemiology, and has served on the medical faculties of The George Washington University, the University of Arkansas and the State University of New York at Buffalo.
