Nutrition
Eating right is one of the most important things we can do to ensure a healthy life. Your physical body is important. When the body is functioning as it should, the mind is clearer and the emotions are more stable than when it is not operating at its optimum level.
But unfortunately most of us do not eat the things we are supposed to, due to our fast paced lifestyles and the tempting junk food all around us. It is hard to eat a well-balanced diet. Supplementation to our diet is important and a must if we are not eating the things that we should be.
Nutrition Response Testing (NRT)
Do you have chemical or heavy metal sensitivities, immune challenges, or food allergies? NRT will tell if this is blocking your nervous system from functioning at a higher level! NRT is the study of how the different points on the surface of the body relate to the state of health. It will also show how health relates to the flow of energy in each and every organ and function of the body. NRT tests 2 things: 1) Your body’s own neurological reflexes and 2) Your body’s own acupuncture points. Neurological reflexes are derived from the part of the nervous system whose job is to regulate the functions of each and every organ. Acupuncture points are selected from the ancient Chinese system of acupuncture, which is thousands of years old.
So why Nutrition Response Testing?? NRT tests to determine the exact nutrients you need to supplement your diet and bring about balance and better health. You can fill out your NRT forms before you come into our office.

Bioterrain Testing
So what is the problem when you are eating as you should, including fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean protein in a balanced diet---and you are still tired and stressed out? Why do you not feel stronger and healthier as a result of doing the right things? The answer could be a lack of absorption of nutrients from the food you are eating and the supplements you are taking.
The question is ---How can you know if your body is absorbing the nutrients it requires? One way is called bioterrain testing. This is a state-of-art testing system that provides an objective analysis of your body’s nutritional and biochemical status in several key areas. This system allows our doctors to determine a more thorough evaluation for your nutritional needs. It is a painless test. See more on our Diagnostics page.

Acoustic CardiographAnother diagnostic tool available in our office is the acoustic cardiograph. This machine also measures nutritional status. It allows the heart sounds to be graphed. The graph signature reflects the opening and closing of the valves, the contraction and strength of the heart muscle, and the efficiency of the movement of the blood. This is a good test to show if your vitamins are working or not. See more on our Diagnostics page. |
