My name is Jim McAfee and I am a board Certified Clinical Nutritionist. Our family have been owners of the Image Awareness Wellness Institute (www.ImageAwareness.com), now located in Auburn, CA, since 1969. In 1991 I became a CCN based on my graduate degree, many years of research and work in the field of nutrition, and the ability to pass the national exam. In 2005 I published my latest book, "Your Body's Sign Language: Clues to Nutritional Well-Being" - which will be available soon in e-format on Amazon.
I graduated Summa Cum Laude and valedictorian from Westmont College and Magna Cum Laude from Dallas Theological Seminary. My graduate dissertation was on the subject of fasting. This involved research at the Natural Hygiene School in San Antonio where at that time more fasts had been supervised than anywhere else in the world. I am also a member of the Scientific Council of the International and American Associations of Clinical Nutritionists (2005). I became a member of GNLD's Health Professional's Council in 2006.
If you were to ask me what motivates me to do so much research in the field of health and nutrition my response would be the satisfaction of seeing the power of healthy diet and supplementation to allow people to live pain free lives and to achieve their potential as far as overall health. Years of study and teaching have taught me the amazing power of our own bodies to heal themselves when we understand how to nourish them properly. Having worked as Director of Nutritional Research for Image Awareness since 1974, I have come to believe that there are few degenerative conditions that can not be benefited by a better understanding of nutrition. My teaching of these principles has led some to refer to me as the "Sherlock Holmes of Nutrition."
