Functional Nutrition Assessment
Applied Kineseology aka Muscle Testing
Functional Nutrition Assessment – we use muscle testing (a form of Applied Kineseology), is a way of testing the body’s neurological reflexes, which tells us how your nervous system is regulating the function of every organ.
We test these reflexes directly against a series of the most common cause of dysfunction, including food sensitivities, immune challenges, heavy metals, chemicals, environmental toxins, and surface scars which helps to discover the real underlying cause of health symptoms and challenges.

Can muscle testing help me?
Muscle testing has been used by thousands of practitioners since the early 1900s and has helped people of all ages across the country. Many have experienced significant relief from symptoms related to digestive issues, chronic pain, hormonal imbalances, unexplained illnesses, chronic fatigue, food sensitivities, and more. The only limiting factor is if a person is unwilling to make diet and lifestyle changes they need to improve their health.
How does muscle testing work?
A practitioner applies slight pressure to an extended arm, testing the muscle response, and contacting specific reflex areas. If the tested reflex area is “stressed” your nervous system will respond by reducing energy to the extended arm causing it to weaken and collapse. A collapsed arm indicates an underlying stress of dysfunction of that tested area.
Once the underlying stress is corrected by choosing nutrients to support the area, the arm muscle will respond by becoming strong.
What can I expect during my Functional Nutrition Assessment appointment?
Before your appointment, you will receive a Health History and Symptom Survey form to complete and bring with you. Your initial visit will last approximately 90 minutes. During this time, we will review your health history, discuss your concerns, and assess your current health using functional muscle testing. Additional testing methods may also be used as needed.
We will work to identify the root causes of your health issues and the stressors contributing to your symptoms and illness. Once testing is complete, we’ll review your results and provide a personalized health improvement plan. This will include a nutritional supplement program and lifestyle recommendations to help you start feeling better. Supplements can be purchased during this office visit.
