The History and Philosphy of the Institute of Eating Management

The Institute of Eating Management (IEM) was opened in 1990 under the direction of nutritionist Keith Klein, a leader in nutrition and weight loss.

His concept - to combine several multi disciplinary approaches. From his prior work experiences in dietetics, he created an entity that covers a wide range of different nutritional needs.

Three influences affected his philosophy.

Medical

Keith's years at the Institute of Specialized Medicine taught him the important role that nutrition and exercise could play in restoring a person's health in conjunction with traditional medicine.

Patients that incorporated sound nutritional advice in conjunction with medical modalities improved much faster and felt better.

In various cases the doctors opted to use nutrition and exercise before medicating their patients. The results were overwhelmingly positive.

IEM currently works very closely with many of Houston's finest physicians. They have referred many of their own patients to IEM because they trust the care and advice that IEM offers their clients.

Psychology

At IEM, we don't psychoanalyze our clients.

However, we do understand the connection between eating behaviors and the mind. Our job is to point out the connections between your defective thoughts regarding food and your behavior. Then, we help you replace those thoughts with positive, self directing thoughts.

While working with psychiatrist Dr. John H. Simms, Keith conceived his work on the Psychology of Eating Management. He has successfully helped a number of people reach their fitness and life goals.

Sports Medicine

IEM has honed it techniques to work for a wide array of athletes. We have worked with many of the
