Nutrition Response Testing (NRT)





Welcome to the leading edge technology in "health" care today. If you have wondered why you have tried and failed to restore your health, you are about to find the 'missing piece' to the puzzle. Read on and find what you have been looking for in restorative and preventative healthcare.

When our bodies are healthy and in balance, all systems function properly and in tune with one another. But when there is an imbalance, we experience symptoms such as allergies, chronic pain, fatigue, headaches, migraines, weight gain and host of other conditions. Nutrition Response Testing will identify your hidden health problems as well as the strategy to correct your imbalance. The strategy, a personalized health improvement program, often includes whole food supplements, herbs, and dietary and lifestyle changes.

If you have tried and failed to handle allergies, chronic pain fatigue, headaches, migraines, weight gain, episodic infections (ear, bladder, respiratory, prostate), acid reflux, PMS, menopausal symptoms or a host of other conditions, then set up a Nutrition Response Testing evaluation today. There is a reason you can't get well. We can find the 'missing piece' preventing your recovery and put you in control with your personalized health improvement program. Find out if Nutrition Response Testing is right for you.

How does Nutrition Response Testing work?

Nutrition Response Testing is a technology that reveals the "missing piece," the key to solving your health concern.
By accessing the autonomic nervous system (ANS), critical information about your bodily functions is discovered. Autonomic means "occurring involuntarily." Bodily functions like eye blinking, heart and breathing rates, digestive metabolism, immune response, hormone regulation, and so forth are regulated by the ANS.

There are two controls to the ANS: sympathetic and parasympathetic. Think of them as our body's accelerator and brake --- our "gas" pedal and "brake" pedal! When our bodies are healthy and in balance, these systems function properly and in tune with one another --- the sympathetic dominates when we are active, the parasympathetic when we are resting. These regulators are responsible for healthy function including our ability to heal . It is when there is an imbalance that we experience symptoms such as weight gain, fatigue, allergies, acid reflux, high blood pressure, chronic pain, immune deficiencies, headaches, migraines and the like. Think of these symptoms as "check engine lights" or "alarm bells." These imbalances can be corrected safely, naturally, and effectively by accessing the ANS using Nutrition Response Testing.



The technique is PAINLESS, POWERFUL and PERSONALIZED. A practitioner uses his/her hand, pressing lightly on a patient's acupuncture points, reflex locations, or body organs while simultaneously checking a strong muscle group. In this way (1) we identify the stressors adversely affecting your organs or glands, (2) we identify their priority, and (3) we determine the corresponding tools to correct your imbalance(s).
We then pinpoint the correct whole-food supplements and/or herbs for your body and recommend needed dietary and lifestyle changes. The result is a personalized health improvement program that addresses your own body's imbalances and corrects its operation. Our goals are the same as yours: achieving good health and feeling good again --- safely, naturally, and effectively. By following your personalized Nutrition Response Testing program, you will experience and sustain better health. It's that simple!

How Do We Access the Autonomic Nervous System?

We use Applied Kinesiology, commonly known as muscle testing. It involves using the practioner's hand, lightly pressing on different acupuncture points or reflex locations on the body while simultaneously checking a strong muscle group. This controversial but highly effective method of evaluation gives the practitioner essential information about what your body says it's requirements for a return to health are. Book learning and clinical experience, which is the sum total of theoretical and educated knowledge can clearly help us get close to what may be required to pinpoint the solution for your health concern. But what separates Nutrition Response Testing from most other treatment strategies is the critical information obtained from the body itself or as we say accessing it's innate intelligence in order to find the precise answer to your health concern.



Where Did Nutrition Response Testing Originate?

Nutrition Response Testing, was developed by Freddie Ulan, D.C., N.D., C.C.N., and Lester Bryman, D.C. It is based on decades of successful clinical outcomes helping sick people restore their health naturally---without drugs, without surgery, non-invasively, and often relatively rapidly.

It combines knowledge of acupuncture, the oriental medical system, with the breakthroughs of applied and clinical kinesiology developed by George Goodheart, D.C., and Alan Beardall, D.C. Nutrition Response Testing utilizes the most workable advancements and refinements in the field, including that of two notable medical researchers, Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D., Ph.D., and Yoshiaki Omura, M.D. In this system we do not "diagnose" or "treat" diseases. Instead we use revolutionary tools along with traditional diagnostic procedures that allow the trained practitioner to obtain a highly dependable assessment of a patient's current health status. This assessment combined with an understanding of anatomy, physiology, neurology, kinesiology, and biochemistry allows us to actually correct the underlying causes of disease rather than simply suppress its symptoms.

Who Can Benefit from Our Nutritional Healing Program?

Men, Women, Children! Anyone who wants to improve their health --- or maintain the good health they currently enjoy. Anyone who wants to lose weight naturally and effectively without drugs or "miracle diets." Anyone who wants to boost their energy level, curb their sugar or carbohydrate cravings, or take less medication. In other words, anyone who seriously wants to address their own body's "dis-ease!"
What Conditions Can It Address?

Here's a partial list of health conditions that we see on a daily bases that are successfully resolved
through nutrition response testing...fatigue, blood sugar issues, PMS, infertility, hot flashes, night sweats, skin rashes, stress and depression, chronic pain, arthritis, chronic allergies, colds and flu, food intolerances, high blood pressure, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, high cholesterol, contipation, diarrhea, IBS-IBD, osteoporosis, ADHD, memory loss, lack of concentration and many more.

What Improvements Will I Notice On My Program?
Plain and simple, you'll feel better. You will see dramatic changes in your functional illness. However, it must be emphasized that these changes often occur over a period of months --- not days.

What Will I Experience at Your Clinic?
This empirically proven technique allows us to accurately determine what conditions of stress or deficiency are interfering with your body's healing process. You will be tested for five common stressors: scars, food sensitivities, immune challenge, chemical challenge, and metal challenge . Next, the priority gland or organ is determined. Finally, nutritional whole-food supplements or herbs are recommended to support your specific needs. This is all done painlessly by the practitioner, applying light pressure with his/her hand on reflexes/acupuncture points associated with a specific organ or gland while simultaneously checking a strong muscle group.

The Children's Program?
Most people assume that because children are young, they are healthy. This is untrue --- and now more than ever. Due to the refined, processed, and adulterated foods we eat, our children are not getting the nutrition they need. How can we provide them with a strong foundation of health with so many nutritional deficiencies present around them? Every child should be on a nutritional program and, just as with our adult clients, our programs are specially designed to address the personalized needs of your child. Childhood "dis-eases" need not be a permanent life sentence, and many are simply nutritional deficiencies. Once addressed, the symptoms may improve dramatically or disappear altogether. Please note that we only accept children as clients if at least one parent is actively on a health improvement program. Children of clients who are currently on a natural health improvement program may qualify for a 40% reduction off all adult rates.
