Walk into any pharmacy or health food store, and you are bombarded with options. Magnesium for sleep? Probiotics for bloating? Zinc for immunity?
You might buy a basket full of supplements because you read about them online. But a month later, you feel exactly the same—except your wallet is lighter.
The problem isn't the vitamins; it’s the guessing game.
At Phelts Chiropractic PC, Dr. John W. Phelts, D.C. believes your body already knows exactly what it needs. We just have to ask it.
Using Applied Kinesiology (AK) and Nutrition Response Testing, we remove the guesswork from your diet, creating a precise, personalized plan to fix your digestion, energy, and allergies.
The "Expensive Urine" Problem
When you take supplements your body doesn't need—or can't absorb—you simply excrete them. In the medical world, we call this "expensive urine."
Even worse, some synthetic vitamins can actually stress your liver or kidneys if your body is already toxic.
One size does not fit all. Your neighbor might do great on Keto, while you need complex carbs. Your friend might need Vitamin D, while you are actually deficient in Magnesium.
The Solution: Nutrition Response Testing
Nutrition Response Testing is a non-invasive system of analyzing your body to determine the underlying causes of ill health. It doesn't use needles or blood work; it uses your body's own neurological reflexes.
How it works:
- The Indicator: We use a strong muscle (usually your arm) as an indicator.
- The Scan: Dr. Phelts contacts specific reflex points on your body that correspond to different organs (Liver, Stomach, Thyroid, Adrenals).
- The Response: If your arm "locks" and stays strong, that organ is functioning well. If your arm suddenly goes weak, it indicates neurological stress in that organ.
Once we find the weak link (e.g., a stressed liver), we test specific high-quality nutrients against it. When we find the exact nutrient your body craves, your arm will instantly become strong again.
It is biofeedback in real-time.
The Phelts Difference: The "Chemical" Leg of the Triangle
In Applied Kinesiology, health is a triangle:
- Structure: Muscles and joints (treated with adjustments and Emsculpt).
- Mental: Stress and emotions (treated with EMFACE and Cranial work).
- Chemical: Nutrition and digestion.
If you have chronic back pain that won't go away despite great chiropractic care, the culprit is often Chemical. An inflamed gut causes inflamed joints.
We treat people who have conditions like:
- Digestive Issues: Bloating, IBS, constipation, and reflux.
- Fatigue: The afternoon crash or difficulty waking up.
- Skin Issues: Acne, eczema, and rosacea (often a gut sign).
- Allergies: Seasonal sniffles and food sensitivities.
Integrating with Aesthetics
Beauty starts in the gut. You can use EMFACE to lift your face and Emsculpt Neo to tone your body, but if you are inflamed on the inside, your results will suffer.
- Collagen robbers: High sugar and inflammation destroy collagen, making skin sag faster.
- The Bloat: A "pooch" in the belly isn't always fat; often, it is inflammation from food sensitivities. Fixing your gut makes your Emsculpt results pop.
Stop Guessing. Start Healing.
Don't waste another dollar on a supplement that "might" work. Let us find out exactly what your body is asking for.
