I mostly work with patients who do not know where to turn next for some guidance in overcoming their health condition. The majority have endured numerous doctors visits and a number have been to other nutritionists but have hit a wall on their journey towards feeling well again. Do you suffer from chronic pain, fatigue, Fibromyalgia, digestive problems (heartburn/GERD, constipation, pain, gas, belching, IBS, etc.), PMS, menopause symptoms,  autoimmune disease (M.S., Rheumatoid Arthritis, Crohn's/UC, Psoriasis, etc.), ADD/ADHD, anxiety problems, allergies, heart concerns, memory/focusing problems, diabetes, multiple chemical sensitivities, or just do not feel well?  We need to talk! I also counsel many on how to simply get back on track and give them suggestions on proper vitamin supplementation. If you think you might benefit from one-on-one attention, then you should consider making a nutritional counseling phone/internet appointment. This is a one-of-a-kind consultation where we will interact together via the phone and on the internet simultaneously! We will engage in a dynamic visual consultation meant to give you a deeper understanding as to why your body is talking to you in a manner you could do without. I have not seen offered anywhere else on the internet. The most unique aspect is that you have absolutely nothing to lose. My consults are 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEED! Read on for the details.

Another important aspect of this consult is that I will work closely with any of your other doctors. If you so choose, I will send your doctor(s) reports that will outline my findings and any of my recommendations. Even more importantly, though, I will send them detailed information about all of the supplements you decide to take including any potential drug interactions they should be made aware of. Many of my patients feel discouraged due to the lack of direction they get from their doctors. My reports help to keep your health care team members on the same page in the ultimate goal of you obtaining proper health.

"For the past four and a half years I have lived with severe abdominal pain, fibromyalgia, and IBS. Before coming to Dr. Zimmer I had significant daily pain. I had not been able to do even basic household chores like laundry, vacuuming, or preparing meals. After 6 months with Dr. Zimmer, I am able to do all of these things and more! I can play with my kids! I can go hiking, biking, and I even tried rollerblading! This is a freedom some told me to never expect again. Thank you, for giving me my life back!"

What Steps Do You Need To Take?

A nutritional consult will consist of three phases. Each phase is described below:

Phase 1: Information Gathering

We will provide you with a multi-page Health Questionnaire through email or you can download the form by going to the Patient Forms link found in the Nutritional Counseling section. When completed, you will either email or mail it back to me. From this questionnaire I will generate a graph that will group together your symptoms and outline which foundational functions within your body are not performing at optimum. This graph will be emailed back to you so you can reference it during your consult.

Along with the Health Questionnaire, you will also be sent a past medical history and personal information form to be completed. You will also be asked to mail, fax, or email me copies of any tests you have had done within the recent past.

Phase 2: Nutritional Consult

You will have your nutritional consult. This will not be the typical take this supplement for that symptom nutritional consult. My goal is to get to the root of your problem and to counsel you on how to make core changes that will have a meaningful impact on your overall health. It is important to me that you fully understand my recommendations. My goal is to empower you with knowledge instead of simply telling you what to do. The importance of this principle is founded in the fact that your pursuit of proper health will be a life-long endeavor. Your nutritional consult will certainly be an educational experience.

You will be asked to have access to the internet and a phone for your consult. I will use the internet to show you certain graphics and illustrations that will aide in your understanding of your condition and my recommendations. The consult will be dynamic and interesting!

Phase 3: Follow-up

The majority of your follow-up will be done via email. It is not uncommon to have a couple of additional phone appointments depending on the severity of your symptoms and the nature of my treatment recommendations. We will agree upon any future phone appointments at the end of your first consult. Good communication will be important for the best possible health outcome. This is not just a one-shot approach to getting you healthy. I want to become a part of your team for as long as you need me! I will be there for you throughout your treatment regimen.

“After suffering with Fibromyalgia symptoms and hormonal issues for 12 years, I truly believe that working with Dr. Zimmer has been the turning point in my journey towards improved health. Dr. Zimmer and I had numerous detailed discussions about my symptoms and he suggested key tests that helped us determine just what was happening in my body. After carefully analyzing the results, he made important nutritional recommendations to address those issues. There is no "cookie cutter" approach here! I finally feel that I am on the right track to give my body the proper nutritional tools to begin the healing process. There are few doctors these days that work so hard to get to the real root of the problem. He works tirelessly to do so. I don't know where I would be today if I had not had his expertise, and just as importantly, his care and deep concern to help me. I can't say enough about my positive experience with Dr. Zimmer. He and his helpful staff have truly been a blessing. “

Making an Appointment/Cost

Making an appointment is easy to do. Just call the clinic's toll-free number 1-888-813-1998 or locally  (317) 813-1998 to reserve a time that will be convenient for you. You will need to give us a valid credit card number in order for us to reserve your appointment time. All credit card numbers are kept on an encrypted and secure system. If you do not cancel your appointment with 24 hours notice you will be charged a 50% missed appointment fee. The reason for this rule is that I block out a full hour for our consult and if you call within a couple of hours before your appointment to cancel it is impossible for me to fill in that time.

Keep in mind any time differences. Indiana is on Eastern Standard time (New York time). Appointment times can be scheduled on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. A typical consult lasts between 45 minutes to 1 hour and the fee is simply $100. Any follow-up consults will be 20 -30 minutes in duration at a cost of $50. Those who are not suffering from a specific condition and only want my analysis and recommendation for basic supplement intake should ask for a 30 minute consult. The cost will be $50 and we can usually cover all family members during this time.

If you schedule a phone/internet consult, we will CALL YOU. For example, if your appointment date is Wednesday at 10:00  a.m. (your time) we will call you between 10:00 and 10:15. We make every attempt to call at the start of your appointment. However, being that we see real people with real problems we sometimes run slightly behind. You will be transferred to me and we will spend the full time together for your consult. If you will be coming into the clinic please arrive 15 minutes prior to your consult time so we can take care of any needed paperwork.Your journey down the road to better health will then begin! Feel free to call right now even if it is after hours. Leave us your contact information and we will return your call ASAP.

"My family and I became very ill from mold toxin exposure. After two ER visits and seeing multiple physicians, a good friend recommended I see Dr. Zimmer. I was very skeptical of nutritionists, but I was desperate. From the first appointment I immediately felt at ease with Dr. Zimmer. Dr. Zimmer treated me for adrenal fatigue. I went from thinking I needed to be on antidepressants for life to having my health restored - drug free. Likewise, my two children were being treated by physicians for allergies with nasal steroids and antihistamines. Within one month of treatment with Dr. Zimmer, my children came off the medication with no symptoms returning. I appreciate the education I received - not only to heal, but to prevent further illnesses. Dr. Zimmer is very knowledgeable. He does not claim more than what is researched. Best of all...he has a huge heart - he really cares!"

“I was recently diagnosed with diabetes. Dr. Zimmer helped me to understand what diabetes is and how to make the right choices regarding nutrition and what supplements would be beneficial. He also helped calm my fears and assured me that I am in charge, not my disease. Dr. Z is always there when I have questions about nutrition and supplements (which is quite often). Now, about those corny jokes...they are great fun!”

“I am so thankful that I was referred to Dr. Zimmer. I am finally getting answers to the questions about my health that have bothered me for so long. After years as a regular exerciser, I began to struggle to complete my daily tasks. I was dealing with regular pain in my stomach that made me want to lie down and curl up in a ball. I sought advice from my doctor, and was told that I was depressed and offered medication. I changed to a different doctor, had a full range of tests run and was again told there was no medical reason for my fatigue and it was probably due to depression. After being referred to Dr. Zimmer for neck and back pain, I not only walked away feeling better physically, but I began to have hope that there were answers to my questions. Dr. Zimmer helped me detoxify my body, build up my immune system, and deal with the imbalances that were causing my pain.

Dr. Zimmer is a storehouse of information about health and nutrition. I have asked many questions and have always been given timely, knowledgeable explanations. What impresses me the most about Dr. Zimmer is his willingness to listen and take the time to help even when there is no financial benefit to be gained. I have come to trust "Dr. Z" because he has taken the time to explain things, treated me as a friend, and because the products he has suggested have actually improved my health. Thanks to Natural D-Hist I no longer have recurring sinus infections in the spring and fall. Thanks to the regular use of OrthoBiotics, my immune system is stronger and I am no longer sick through most of the winter. I highly recommend Dr. Zimmer to my family and friends! He has been a real blessing in my life!”

“I praise God for the nutritional advice and guidance that I have received from Dr. Zimmer. He truly has a genuine love and desire to teach his patients about health and nutrition in order to guide them to lifestyles of optimal health. Dr. Zimmer has always been available to answer the many questions I have about health and has taken the time to make sure I understand what he is talking about. Dr Zimmer's staff is one-of-a-kind! They love every patient that walks through the door and they go above and beyond in every way. I can't imagine what my health would be like without Dr. Zimmer in my life. He thoroughly loves his job and it shows everyday. He is real, honest and loves the Lord. I know I will be a life-long patient!”

“Five years ago my 9 year old daughter started seeing Dr. Zimmer for her scoliosis. A year later I was diagnosed with stage 3 aggressive breast cancer. I felt it was just as important to keep the healthy part of my body strong to fight the bad cells and the lethal chemo. Dr. Zimmer invested a lot of time researching my nutrition and supplement plan. He carefully explained everything, always is available to answer any questions and continues to update my protocol as he learns about new information. I have felt great and it has been four years!!! Both my daughters and I see Dr. Zimmer regularly as he is monitoring my daughter's scoliosis. He is very compassionate about what he does and his compassion is felt by the three of us!”
