What to expect

Amber, Master Certified NRT Practitioner, is here to help your body get back to it’s most optimum functioning with a tailored plan specifically for you.

What is Nutrition Response Testing®?

A tried and true alternative health practice that uses muscle testing or applied kinesiology to analyze the body and identify underlying causes of poor health, such as food sensitivities, nutritional deficiencies, and toxicities.

Our clinically proven, precise and scientific, system may be quite different from any other healing practice you have experienced. Instead of masking symptoms through drugs or medication, we work to find the underlying, root cause of the problem.

Once found, we use designed clinical nutrition to support the body so that the body can regain the ability to heal itself.

What Makes this Approach Unique?

In NRT we do not diagnose or treat disease as in medical practices. We assess your body’s current health status, and design a personalized health improvement program. Simply put, we start with an analysis, and then we design a nutritional program to help you handle what was found.

How does it work?

Nutrition Response Testing allows your body to communicate where there are energy imbalances and tells us what to focus on first. Examples might be digestive upset, fatigue, mood disorders, aches/pains, irregular sleep, or scar interferences to name a few.

The procedure is simple - it is performed while the patient is laying down with their arm extended out straight. The Practitioner then contacts different reflex areas with their hand while pushing lightly on the extended arm. If there is stress/energy imbalances, the Autonomic Nervous System will respond by reducing energy to the arm and cause it to drop. This immediate feedback shows the Practitioner where the body needs more energy which could be the root of underlying stress or dysfunction. This “root and branch” approach helps us identify exactly what the body needs and build a nutritional program tailored to helping your body heal itself.

There are three phases to Nutrition Response Testing®:

Phase 1 - Fine Tuning

Once you start your initial nutritional supplement program, it generally takes 4 to 6 office visits to completely fine tune. Visits are typically done weekly to ensure proper monitoring. During this time we will also review your diet and offer guidance in regard to any essential improvements necessary to maximize your gains.

If you are currently taking any vitamins, minerals, or other nutritional supplements on a regular basis, please continue to do so. At an appropriate time during this phase we will help you evaluate these other supplements in relation to your current condition.

Phase 2 - Healing & Observation

After the initial fine tuning phase is completed, meaning that your nutritional program is stabilized, you will be ready to start your first 12- week Healing and Observation Phase.

1. Monitoring all of your active organ areas to ensure that your body is responding appropriately to your program

2. At the end of this 12-week Healing and Observation Phase we will re-evaluate your progress in order to determine your actual rate of recovery and what additional recommendations might be needed in order for you to maintain maximal health improvement.

Phase 3 - Maintenance Phase

Once you have achieved a more optimum level of health, naturally you will want to stay well. This is most easily accomplished through routine Nutrition Response Testing office visits over the next year and beyond.

Frequency is determined on an individual basis, anywhere from monthly to annually. They typically will start at a more frequent level and will get fewer and farther between as required. 

Most maintenance programs require lesser amounts of nutritional supplements then were needed in the earlier phases to “protect your investment in your health”.

Getting into a maintenance program will allow us to continue to assist you and your body to maintain the health improvements you have experienced at this point.
