What is Nutrition Response Testing?
Originally developed by physicians and neurologists, Nutrition Response Testing grew out of the importance of detecting and correcting problems of the autonomic nervous system, as well as all other organs of the body. NRT allows the practitioner to restore the self-regulating mechanisms of the body, allowing the patient to return to a state of health.
Symptoms leading to these imbalances are generally caused by seven common factors. These include:
- Undiagnosed food allergies
- Heavy metal toxicity
- Petroleum chemical toxicity
- Chronic unresolved infections and scars
- Temporamandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ)
- Unresolved psychological stress
- Electromagnetic stress
How Does this work?
According to a holistic philosophy of healing (including Chiropractic and Acupuncture), your body wants to be well and much of what is needed is help in supporting the necessary organs and eliminating those things that block optimal health.
NRT practitioners understand how our brains can act as a giant “switchboard” to channel energy into action to maintain body function.
Every symptom in your body constitutes a signal–a warning that something is not quite right.The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the part of the nervous system that we cannot control with our mind. The ANS regulates breathing, heart rate, digestion, immune function, hormone regulation, sleep patterns, blood pressure, blood sugar levels, tissue regeneration, and liver and kidney detoxification, among other things.
