What is Nutrition Response Testing?
Have you been told "everything looks normal," yet deep down, you know something isn’t right?
You’re not alone, and you're not imagining things.
We use a gentle, non-invasive system called Nutrition Response Testing® to finally get you the answers you deserve. This powerful tool helps us identify the root causes of your symptoms and create a personalized path back to health using holistic, natural solutions—not guesswork.
We Listen to What Your Body is Trying to Say
Your body is constantly sending signals. Whether it’s chronic fatigue, digestive discomfort, brain fog, or hormonal imbalance, those symptoms are like warning lights on a dashboard—they’re trying to get your attention.
Nutrition Response Testing is how we listen.
Using advanced muscle testing techniques, we identify which organs or systems are under stress and which nutritional imbalances may be contributing to your symptoms. Think of it as tapping into your body’s internal GPS—giving us real-time feedback on what’s helping and what’s harming.
No high-tech equipment or elaborate testing. Just honest, bio-individual insight you can trust.
How it Works (and Why it's Different)
Unlike traditional medical approaches that focus on symptom management, Nutrition Response Testing helps us answer deeper questions:
What’s not functioning properly in the body?
What stressors—like food sensitivities, toxins, or immune challenges—are at play?
What nutrients or supports are needed to restore balance?
Once we uncover these answers, we design a customized functional nutrition program using whole food supplements and lifestyle guidance tailored specifically to your needs.
It’s not about chasing symptoms. It’s about solving health mysteries.
Who is This For?
Nutrition Response Testing is especially helpful if you’re dealing with:
Digestive issues (bloating, IBS, food sensitivities)
Hormonal imbalances (thyroid, perimenopause, PMS)
Low energy, mood swings, or brain fog
Autoimmune symptoms
Stubborn weight gain
Chronic inflammation or joint pain
Most of our patients have already tried conventional medicine, prescriptions, or even other holistic methods with little or no lasting results. That’s why we do things differently.
Other modalities used at bfm that complement nutrition response testing:
Allergy Relief Technique: Are you struggling with allergies to pollen, food, or pets? Have you tried medications, supplements, avoidance strategies, or highly restrictive diets—only to remain frustrated by a body that feels overly sensitive? The Allergy Relief Technique offers a different approach. This powerful, non-invasive acupressure tapping method is designed to help reduce hypersensitivity reactions at their source. The technique combines muscle testing with targeted acupressure to help calm the body’s overreaction to specific triggers. Its developer, Dr. Charles Eugene, describes allergies as a “physiological phobia”—a physical response that is out of proportion to the actual stimulus. The Allergy Relief Technique works to interrupt this overreaction, helping the body respond more appropriately and comfortably.
Chance Hypothalamus Reset Technique: The Hypothalamus is called the brain of the brain, and therefore controls the whole body. Lack of nutrition and environmental stressors cause the hypothalamus to "short-circuit," preventing it from communicating effectively with the rest of the body. The Chance Hypothalamus Reset Technique is performed using a combination of muscle testing, reflex points, and tapping to restore the hypothalamus's optimal communication with the rest of the body, thereby enhancing its function. Just look at the list below to see all that the Hypothalamus controls, and why it would be important to have it function at its peak!
