Nutrition Response Muscle Testing
Your health is a journey, not just a destination.
What is Nutrition Response Testing?
Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) is a non-invasive system of analyzing the body and organ function to determine the underlying causes of ill or poor health.
We use this assessment technique to design customized clinical nutrition plans specific to each client’s needs. Within these plans, we utilize natural, safe, and effective solutions to re-balance your health.
NRT is a form of Applied Kinesiology or otherwise known as “muscle-testing”. With Nutrition Response Testing, as well our other muscle testing techniques (such as Meridian Autonomic Testing, Muscle Reflex Analysis, and Touch For Health) and appropriate lifestyle changes, we treat the root of the issue – not just the symptoms.
The body has an innate intelligence for self-healing. Every day and every moment, your body is regenerating and in the process of natural death and rebirth of cells. Every seven years, you have an entirely new body! In fact, this is one of the reasons nutrition is critical – we want every generation of cells to be equal to or stronger and healthier than the last. Even our gene expression can change with adequate nutrition, via the impact of epigenetics (“your genes load the gun, your environment pulls the trigger”).
You have more power than you realize over your health, life, and the aging process by optimizing nutrition and lifestyle.
Did you know…
The body has an innate intelligence for self-healing.
Your body wants to be well and truly does everything it can to survive and thrive.
However, your symptoms and health may not reflect that truth. This is because there are stressors within the body such as immune challenges, food sensitivities, heavy metals, chemical and toxic burdens, digestive impairments, and more that rob you of feeling and functioning well.
You may also make lifestyle choices that don’t serve your health or suffer unknowingly from malnourishment, both of which create internal burdens and imbalances. Remember, we can be overfed but malnourished!
What you eat and nourish yourself with every day impacts the function of every cell and tissue in your body.
In fact, it is our firm belief that nutrition is one of the most critical and fundamental forms of health care. At SoulFit, we utilize nutrition in the form of herbs, organic whole-food-based supplements, homeopathy, and daily food intake in order to support the body.
Our unique process of clinical nutrition allows the body to unburden and naturally heal itself the way it was intended to. When given the correct nutritional protocol for your unique body, many health challenges we see today can improve.
What should you expect with NRT?
The Nutrition Response Testing and other muscle testing procedures are performed standing as well as lying down with your arm extended straight. Our procedure uses a multitude of reflex points that are related to different organs, glands, and tissues. If the tested reflex area on the body is under stress, the Autonomic Nervous System will respond by reducing energy to the extended arm, meaning the arm will weaken and drop. We call this “inhibition” or a weak reflex. When a reflex is not under stress, the Autonomic Nervous System will be able to maintain a “lock”, which is demonstrated by the body maintaining a “strong” arm position.
When performing Nutrition Response Testing, a scan of the body and all of the reflex points are checked for the 5 most common stressors as well as emotional stressors that can cause symptoms of poor health. These 5 stressors include heavy chemical toxicity, hidden food allergies or sensitivities, heavy metal toxicity, immune challenges and scar interferences. When these stressors accumulate in our body over time, they can impair the function of major endocrine glands, metabolic glands and organs that are crucial to our health.
Once the underlying issues are discovered, the next step in Nutrition Response Testing is to see what nutrients your body may be lacking due to the stressor or burden. When your body receives the proper nutrients in the forms of whole food essential minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and herbs many imbalances in your body come back into balance. Homeopathic remedies may also be used to help remind the body of a healthy blueprint of function. When this happens, symptoms lessen and, in many cases, disappear. Examples of how a burdened or imbalanced body can present are mood swings, anxiety, depression, IBS, obesity, chronic fatigue, low energy, autoimmune disorders, constipation, diarrhea, migraines, poor sleep patterns, chronic ear infections, immune weakness, chronic pain, arthritis, edema, weight loss/gain, high/ low blood pressure, diabetes, excessive hair loss and more.
Your health is a journey.
At SoulFit, we require a minimum of six months in any NRT program.
The body has a wisdom that is greater than we could ever imagine and has a specific pace and capacity for healing at any given time. At each session, we identify what the body’s priorities are and build your plan accordingly. Like peeling an onion, the body will reveal layers of dysfunction, needs and root causes as it progresses and shifts. Our plans are built to honor the body, to optimize results. When you work with your body rather than against it, your process can unfold much more comfortably and efficiently.
Health imbalances do not happen overnight and therefore health shifts also require time and patience.
Our NRT clients understand that health is a marathon and not a sprint. It truly is a journey, not just a destination.
The six month minimum allows us the opportunity to progress and shift within a set window of time and re-evaluate as needed. Some clients will find great success after six months and be able to move into a maintenance plan, others may need continued NRT support. Investing in your health is not a linear process but is a path that will truly change your life for the better, naturally.
If you are ready to empower yourself and take responsibility for your health using safe and natural solutions, then our NRT programs are for you. You can get started on your journey by booking a catalyst consult now.
