Functional Nutritional Response Testing (FNRT)

Functional Nutritional Response Testing (FNRT), a form of applied kinesiology, utilizes a non-invasive muscle response testing system that analyzes the whole body to determine the underlying causes of "dysfunction" or  "non-optimal health". Our clinically proven system may be quite different from any other healing practice that you may have experienced. When the body is not functioning at optimal levels, which results from different forms of stress including; improper diet, environmental stress,  job or family stress, and illness, the neurological reflex points are disrupted. During testing If the neurological reflex area is stressed, your nervous system will respond by reducing energy to that area, the area presents as weak.  This indicates an underlying stressor in that area that is affecting your health. The actual procedure is simple and direct, with the body providing all of the information and feedback needed. The body responds to the procedure reliably and consistently. This feedback is so precise that it opens the door to a safe and lasting recovery, even in cases where everything else has failed. Following the response test, you will have a brief consultation with our specialist to explain their findings and their suggested nutritional supplement program. The body has the full potential to fully repair itself, when given the right nutrients. When your body is functioning properly you will not believe how much better you will feel. Your program is solely based on YOU and what YOUR body needs.

Benefits of Functional Nutritional Response Testing

After receiving and implementing your personalized nutritional supplement program, most patients find that several of the issues that they were experiencing decrease in severity until they are completely resolved. Most find that they sleep better, are more alert throughout the day, and have more energy. The fastest recoveries are often from those who have most closely adhered to their recommended nutritional supplement program, and recommended lifestyle changes. Generally chronic health problems do not suddenly develop overnight, they develop over a long period of time. This can be due to improper diet, which causes nutritional deficiencies and imbalances, environmental influences and emotional stressors.Therefore, the sooner and more thoroughly you implement your program, the sooner you will start to see results. While on your program, if you continue those same old habits and routines that contributed to your current condition, your body’s condition may not improve as you hope. Total commitment to your program is strongly urged.

While you are on your own personalized clinical nutrition program, you will continue on your health recovery process. We will continue to monitor your progress and adjust your program as needed when additional layers show up. The procedure will assist you in attaining the maximum optimal health benefits and get the real underlying health issues handled.

Children and Functional Nutritional Response Testing

Functional Nutritional Response Testing (FNRT), is mostly the same for children as it is for adults. The key difference is that little bodies require different nutrients, at different times and in different doses, than adults. Also, because the majority of our nutrients come from our food, Functional Nutritional Response Testing for children is most beneficial if they are accompanied by a primary caregiver. This ensures that the significant findings are conveyed to one of the people that are active in the child's nutritional intake. Children who adhere to their nutritional program are more likely to have increased focus, decreased hyperactivity, and a healthy digestive system.

Prenatal Functional Nutritional Response Testing

Prenatal Functional Nutritional Response Testing (FNRT) is a holistic approach to nutritional assessment specifically adapted for pregnant women. FNRT utilizes muscle testing (a form of applied kinesiology) to identify potential underlying nutritional deficiencies, imbalances, and stressors within the body that may impact both the mother's and the baby's health during pregnancy.

FNRT aims to identify the specific nutritional needs of the pregnant woman, recognizing that each individual has unique requirements. This moves beyond general dietary recommendations, focusing on what the individual's body needs to function optimally during pregnancy.

Prenatal FNRT can be used to address common pregnancy discomforts like constipation and to potentially reduce the risk of certain complications like gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia by optimizing the mother's nutritional status.

Supplements

Part of your personalized nutritional program includes nutritional and herbal supplements. Our office carries Standard Process and MediHerb Supplements. These whole food supplements supply our bodies with the critical nutrients we are not getting from our food, being that the food in our country has become void of nutrition and full of chemicals putting even further stress on our systems. Standard Process supplements come from their completely organic farm located in Wisconsin, thus ensuring that all the vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, and phytonutrients that foods possess, the way that nature intended, in a whole food form. We often think that more is better when choosing supplements, quality is far more important than quantity. A small amount of a vitamin complex in whole food form is far more effective in the human body than a large dose of a synthetic, or an isolated fraction of a vitamin. Isolated or fractionated vitamins, an example is ascorbic acid sold as Vitamin C, does not have the co-factors that ensure the enzymatic action required to work properly.

Functional Nutrition Response Testing covers all generations and stages of life, when you give the body the missing nutrients it needs to function properly, multitudes of health challenges can be averted or avoided altogether. When combined with additional wellness modalities and activities this non-invasive style of testing allows patients an opportunity to take back control of their health, make decisions that best suit their needs, and move toward optimal health.
