WHAT IS NUTRITION RESPONSE TESTING?
Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) is a technique that can determine any underlying factors that may inhibit the body’s ability to heal itself. By accessing the autonomic nervous system (ANS), information is gathered with relation to your body’s organs and systems. Autonomic means "occurring involuntarily." Bodily functions like eye blinking, heart and breathing rates, digestive metabolism, immune response, hormone regulation, and so forth are regulated by the ANS.
There are two controls to the ANS: sympathetic and parasympathetic. Think of them as our body's accelerator and brake --- our "go" pedal and "whoa" pedal! When our bodies are healthy and in balance, these systems function properly and in tune with one another --- the sympathetic dominates when we are active; the parasympathetic dominates when we are resting. These regulators are responsible for healthy function, including our ability to heal. When there is an imbalance we may experience symptoms such as weight gain, fatigue, allergies, acid reflux, high blood pressure, chronic pain, immune deficiencies, headaches, migraines and others. Think of these symptoms as "check engine lights" or "alarm bells." Nutrition Response Testing will address the imbalances by addressing the ANS. The imbalances can be corrected safely, naturally, and effectively with Whole Food Supplements, herbs and lifestyle changes.
The technique is non-invasive. Using an arm muscle, the patient resists pressure being applied to the arm. Looking for changes within the arm while pressing lightly on reflex points, acupuncture points, or specific body organs. Weakness or strength determines the direction taken to design the proper nutrition program. A variety of common stressors can interfere with the healing process such as, food sensitivities, immune challenges (i.e. viral, bacterial, fungi, and parasites), chemical challenges, heavy metal challenges and/or scarring. If any of the common stressors are found, the proper supplemental support will be given to rid the body of that particular stress allowing for optimal healing to begin.
It’s that simple!
"I have been a client of Lisa Brown's for nearly six years. I can always rely on her to work out my issues connected to my tired, sore muscles. Being a horse trainer, my daily routine is very demanding of my body and without Lisa, I would be a huge pile of knots. Each time I leave her office, I walk out pain-free, unlike the condition I am in upon arrival.
In addition to her superior massage skills, Lisa has helped me to better my nutritional well-being. Her ability to conduct muscle testing and to suggest appropriate supplements to take on a daily basis enabled me to turn around my quickly deteriorating system. I had not taken care of myself properly for quite a few years and have developed a thyroid condition as a result of it. Using the Standard Process supplements has given a huge boost to my body. The Standard Process cleansing program is a fabulous way to clean out your body and your organs as well as treat your body to only good things for it. I lost 15 pounds prior to my wedding by using it.
By going to InneRenewal and having Lisa Brown help you with your well-being, whether it be through massage or nutritional testing, you will be sure to have a better outlook on life and be able to give more of yourself to your job and your family."
