Do you feel like you are doing everything right—eating well, exercising, and taking supplements—yet you still struggle with fatigue, digestive issues, or an inability to lose weight? In many cases, your progress is being blocked by "hidden saboteurs." At Phelts Chiropractic PC, we use Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) to identify these barriers and provide a clear path to recovery.

What is Nutrition Response Testing?

Nutrition Response Testing is a non-invasive system of analyzing the body to determine the underlying causes of ill health. It is a specialized modality of Applied Kinesiology. By utilizing functional muscle testing, we are effectively "asking the body" what is wrong and what it needs to heal. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, NRT allows Dr. John W. Phelts, D.C. to create a personalized clinical nutrition program tailored exactly to your body's specific requirements.

Identifying the Five Key Stressors

In our Manhattan office, we use NRT to scan the body for five common "saboteurs" that often go undetected in standard blood tests but can significantly interfere with your wellness:

• Food Sensitivities: Common staples like wheat, dairy, or sugar may be causing low-grade inflammation in your system.
• Heavy Metal Toxicity: Exposure to lead, mercury, or aluminum can "clog" your metabolic pathways.
• Chemical Toxicity: Residues from pesticides, cleaning products, or plastics can mimic hormones and disrupt your endocrine system.
• Immune Challenges: Lingering, low-level challenges can keep your immune system in a state of constant, draining activity.
• Scars: Believe it or not, old surgical or injury scars can create "focal points" that disrupt the neurological flow to your organs.

The Applied Kinesiology Connection: Asking the Body

The beauty of Nutrition Response Testing lies in its directness. In Applied Kinesiology, muscle testing is a way of asking the body where the injury or stressor is and what needs to be done to fix it. If a specific organ point is stressed, the body's neurological response will change, allowing us to pinpoint exactly which area needs support.

Once the saboteur is identified, we use NRT to find the specific whole-food supplements that will "strengthen" that response. We don't guess; we test. This ensure that you are only taking exactly what your body can use to repair itself.

The Hypothalamic Reset for Allergies

For those whose hidden stressors manifest as chronic allergies, Dr. Phelts also integrates the Hypothalamic Set Point Technique (HST). By using specific acupoints, we work to reset the body's internal thermostat for allergens. This works in harmony with NRT to clear the body of the inflammation that makes seasonal transitions so difficult for many New Yorkers.

If you are tired of symptomatic relief and want to find the root cause of your health challenges, Nutrition Response Testing offers a scientific, individualized solution to help you regain your vitality.
