Nutrition Response Testing (NRT)
Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) is a safe and effective system that helps identify your underlying health conditions by utilizing the body’s own autonomic nervous system to locate weaknesses, deficiencies and stresses in the body. These stresses can lead to organ and system breakdown resulting in symptoms and disease in the body.
NRT is a means by which nerve reflexes, muscle testing, a thorough health history and exam, and other assessments will be used to determine your health and nutritional imbalances. This will allow us to develop a safe natural care program for the purpose of bringing about a more optimum state of health.
This alternative approach is focused on restoring functional-health to the body's organs, systems and glands utilizing organic whole food supplements and dietary and lifestyle amendments. Most other approaches focus on treating the patient's symptoms, which often results in further stress and dysfunction, which may ultimately progress into advanced disease.
Our system of alternative therapy, works as a means to restore and support the body's natural healing capabilities, which is exactly what our clinic is all about. We offer an alternative to the medical and pharmaceutical-based system of health care.

When Your Immunity Is Down...
"It's when your immunity is down, that you should fear what is lurking in the background. " -Dr. M. Falukos
Microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi/yeast, and parasites) are all around us. In fact, the average person has 100 trillion microbes in and on their body. Our relationship with these microbes is symbiotic in nature. We need many of them for our health and survival.
The microorganisms living in the human digestive tract (microbiota) have been found to be crucial for immunologic, hormonal, and metabolic balance. In other words, our health and proper bodily function depends on them. If they or their environment are threatened, then the health of the person is compromised.
The microbiota of our digestive tract can be harmed or threatened in a number of ways. Exposure to pathogenic microorganisms, metals and chemicals found in vaccines or foods and beverages, environmental toxins, nutritional deficiencies by eating devitalized or empty foods, frequent use of medications, artificial sweeteners, antimicrobials (antibiotics, hand sanitizers), a refined carbohydrate based diet (sugars, processed foods, trans fats...), hormones in foods, and much more are all involved in the destruction of our digestive microbiota.
Allergies, such as environmental and food, are directly related to the health status of our digestive microbiota. These allergies result from a disruption of normal digestive (gut) health causing functional and structural changes to gut lining. These changes, over time, lead to a hyper-responsive immune system causing inflammation locally and throughout the body. Studies suggest this process is involved in the start of autoimmune disorders.
Scar tissue, which usually results from surgery or physical trauma and also known as fibrous tissue, has also been found to have significant functional effects in the body of its own. Thought to be due to its disruption of nerve tissue and neuro-chemical communication, the presence of scars may result in the unusual presentation of symptoms in the body.
Toxins, when present within your body at the level in which they exceed your body's own antioxidants and ability to detoxify, they can lead to inflammation, obstructing cellular function, and may lead to genetic changes. Doctors believe this process is the basis for most chronic and degenerative conditions.
A Functional Medicine approach, with the utilization of NRT, addresses these issues from a natural and restorative perspective. Enabling the body to heal, repair, and support more normal functions.

The presence of unfriendly microorganisms, exposure to harsh chemicals or metals, the development of food or environmental allergies, or the presence of scar tissue may be a significant cause of the symptoms of one's illness.
