Nutrition Response Testing

The Analysis

In our office, the nutritional analysis is done in several steps. First, a thorough history regarding your health is taken. Second, a nutritional screening test is done. Third, Heart Rate Variability Testing is done to gather important data regarding your heart in relation to your nervous system. Fourth, using your body’s own neurological reflexes (Nutrition Response Testing), we ascertain even more important information. These neurological reflexes are derived from that part of the nervous system whose job it is to regulate the function of every organ. These reflex points on the skin, give information on the state of health and the relative flow of energy in your body. These points represent specific organs and tissues. They indicate the effect that the flow of energy, or lack of flow is having on the body’s systems. By testing these reflex points, we have a system of monitoring your body at each visit.

How do we access the Nutrition Response testing reflexes in order to get this information?

If I were to hook you up to an EKG machine and take a reading, that would probably make perfect sense to you, right? What is actually happening during that procedure is electrode sensors are placed on the skin over the heart. Wires then carry the signal to the EKG machine and it makes a recording of the actual electrical output of the heart. With Nutrition Response Testing, instead of connecting electrodes to the skin areas, the NRT trained doctor touches the points with his own hand. Using his other hand, he will do a muscle test in order to determine its relative strength. If the reflex points being contacted are active, this indicates a stress on the area. The nervous system responds by reducing energy to the muscle and it will weaken. This weakening signifies an underlying dysfunction, which can be affecting your health.

Personalized Health Improvement Plan

After compiling all of the information from our analysis, two things are done:

1. Dietary Recommendations are given.

2. A Designed Clinical Nutrition Program is recommended. We will recommend a specific protocol of Standard Process Organic Whole Food Concentrates (visit www.standardprocess.com for more information) to help correct the nutritional imbalances in your body. This will in turn help restore normal function and improve your overall health.

SUMMARY

1. Through an analysis of your history, physical examination, heart rate variability, and your reflex points, we help you to determine the nutrients you need, in order to restore your health.

2. We advise highly concentrated, therapeutic food formulations to supplement your current diet. That is why they are called “whole food supplements”.

3. Depending on your individual needs, we may also recommend some specific changes in your diet to bring about the best possible results. By following the specifically designed protocol as closely as possible, your body will be on its way to getting better and staying healthy.
