Nutrition Response Testing

Helping the body to repair itself.

Nutrition Response Testing goes hand in hand with functional medicine. Nutrition Response Testing is a non-invasive method of analyzing your body to determine the underlying causes of sub-optimal health. Using your body's own neurological reflexes, we look for indicators of stress to your organs, glands, joints, and muscles. In essence, we analyze different areas on the surface of the body that relate to the flow of energy in every organ and area of the body. After we have your results, we assess your body's current health status and then design a personalized health improvement program based on your individual needs.

If you have any questions that aren't answered below, please feel free to call our office or send us an email.

what is NUTRITION RESPONSE TESTING?

Nutrition Response Testing is a non-invasive system designed to analyze the underlying causes of suboptimal health and attempt to correct them through nutritional means, which may involve whole food supplements.

WILL I HAVE TO UNDERGO ANY INVASIVE TESTS?

Nutritional Response Testing uses surface muscle testing and does not involve invasive procedures. We may occasionally suggest that you have a thorough blood work-up done, so that we can more accurately design a health improvement plan of treatment specifically for your needs.

DOES NUTRITION RESPONSE TESTING TREAT DISEASE?

Nutrition Response Testing neither diagnoses nor treats disease.

HOW SOON CAN I EXPECT TO SEE IMPROVEMENT?

We often hear patients experience benefits in as little as 4-6 weeks after beginning (and sticking to) their recommended nutritional program.

WHY SHOULD I STICK TO THE PLAN?

Sub-optimal health usually doesn't develop overnight. It usually occurs after a long period of improper diet habits and environmental influences. While on the program, if you continue the same habits and routines that contributed to your current condition, your body may not improve as you hope. Therefore, sticking to the program helps to correct the nutritional deficiencies and imbalances that were often years in the making.

HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO BE SEEN BY THE DOCTOR?

Usually the first 10-14 treatments will be done weekly. Then depending on your condition, commitment and your body's response treatments, treatments may be bi-weekly. Once you get into a maintenance phase visits might be monthly, quarterly, or annually. Remember your health is a journey not a sprint. How many years did it take you to get to this point? It can take just as long to undo the stress it has been enduring.

CAN'T I JUST EAT BETTER?

While we certainly recommend improving your eating habits, there has been a drastic decline in the quality of food over the past 70 years, including but not limited to the addition of heavy metals, pesticides, and other toxic chemicals that have found their way into our food supply. Current food conditions make it very difficult to get all the nutritional components your body requires to improve or maintain its resiliency.
