Personal Note from
Founder, Don Maree
Dear Healthcare Practitioners
In this welcome note I want to share my
personal journey to owning and managing
Invivo Clinical. I also wish to impart my ethos
and drive behind the company.
My early career as an exercise physiologist,
leading me to owning a corrective exercise
clinic in Canary Wharf where I specialised
in treating city workers ailing bodies. As
I immersed myself in their symptoms of
inflammation, stress, disturbed sleep and
poor diet, the more I became interested in
hormones, toxicology and nutrient status.
I realised that this was a bigger part of the
puzzle that needed solving. Lab reports
and broken chemical pathways excited me
more than working with the musculoskeletal
imperfections.
My thirst for knowledge led me to a crossroads.
My options were to study Biomedical Science
at Birmingham to continue my educational
journey or to start providing clinicians with the
leading laboratory services and nutraceuticals I
knew were out there.
I knew the latter would give me more
satisfaction and in 2008 I began Invivo clinical,
formerly known as Nutrition Geeks and was
greatly assisted by the dedication of my mother,
June Maree, who was instrumental in the
company evolving and being what it is today.
I have an ethos in life that I only want the best
quality; I am not interested in second best,
regardless of profit margins. The small details
captivate me and pervade all areas of my life
including my passion for mountain biking.

When buying my first bike it was the small
things I noticed that no one else did. The frame
materials, geometry, head angles and rear
suspension linkage design drove me to the
best and most efficient combination. I could
not afford the exact bike I wanted but I didn’t
buy second best. I saved, I waited and worked
extra hours until finally I made my purchase.
The meetings we have with potential
partners undergo the same scrutiny. We
know that being a healthcare professional
and making meaningful changes to a client’s
life is generally a one-time opportunity. The
combinations of your knowledge and the
products and services you use have a big
impact on the differences you can make to the
quality of life and health of others. We want you
to rely heavily on what we do to ensure you
can deliver highly accurate testing services and
nutraceuticals that truly make a difference.
We are 100% committed to offering you the
very best on the market. Anything we sell,
we do so knowing we have pulled the
product to pieces, read the research and
tested it personally.
Thank you for taking an interest in our
company. We are a small team who want to
deliver that personal touch, a voice on the end
of the phone that understands you and the
needs of your patients.
If you would like to connect with me I welcome
your thoughts and feedback
