Regenerative Nutrition
How does nutrition heal?
Nutritional deficiencies, along with environmental and chemical toxicity, can cause the body to be prone to a number of conditions and symptoms, including infections, viruses, digestive issues, fatigue, allergies, headaches and heart attacks, to name just a few. These symptoms may in turn develop and manifest into diseases that can hinder our everyday lives.
The 5 main stressors are
- Viruses
- Bacterial Infections
- Mold, Yeast, and Fungal overgrowth
- Parasites
Metals such as mercury, lead, titanium, iron etc...
- Plastics
- Make-up & personal hygiene products
- Off Gassing of Commercial products: i.e. Furniture
- HouseHold Cleaning Products
- Exhausts
- Food Coloring
- Food Preservatives & Additives
- Glyphosate's
- BT Toxins
- Pesticides, Herbicides, Fungicides
- Medications
Some common ones may be:
GMO Wheat, Corn, Soy
White Sugar
High Fructose Corn Syrup
Gluten/Gliden
Dairy
Eggs
Nightshades
Scientific research has demonstrated that any area of the skin that heals by scar formation has increased sympathetic nerve response. These scars can sometimes suddenly “activate” (even years after they were caused) and act as capacitors which accumulate nerve energy, which can then mis-fire at will, affecting not only local areas but areas away from the scar site causing a host of dis regulation in the bodies system.
How to Detect Nutritional Deficiencies
- Brittle and dry hair
- Prickling, tingling or numbness in your hands and feet
- Unexplained fatigue
- Mouth problems, such as an unusually pale or swollen tongue, burning mouth syndrome, or cracking and inflammation at the corners of the mouth
- A red, scaly rash, especially on the face
- Ridged or spoon-shaped nails
- Lack of appetite
- Hair loss
- Recurrent diarrhea
- Muscle carmaps in your calves, back of legs, toes and arches of feet
- White or red acne-like bumps on your arms, thights, cheeks, or buttocks

Nutritional evaluation & assessment
At the Chiropractic Way our practitioners use a combination of testing procedures to determine what the right nutritional approach is best for your health needs. A custom-tailored program is created just for you derived of whole food nutritional supplements, herbs, diet and lifestyle recommendations. We support a variety of issues such as weight loss, fatigue, sleep issues, depression, digestion, immune challenges, autoimmune conditions, and hormone imbalances.
Muscle Testing also known as Applied Kinesiology (A.K.), is the system of diagnosis and treatment we use to communicate and get information from the body. It is a method based on the concept of various muscles being linked to particular organs and glands, and that specific muscle weakness can signal distant internal problems.

Muscle Testing, also known as Applied Kinesiology (A.K.), is the system of diagnosis and treatment we use to communicate and get information from the body. It is a method based on the concept of various muscles being linked to particular organs and glands, and that specific muscle weakness can signal distant internal problems.
Muscle testing is a tool that can be used to find the root cause as to why an organ or body system is out of balance, whether it’s dietary, a nutritional deficiency, nerve tissue damage, chemical imbalance, etc. This type of testing assesses the body’s neurological reflexes, acupuncture points and energy field. The neurological reflexes are derived from the part of the nervous system whose job is to regulate the functions of each organ. Once we find the areas of the body that create muscle weaknesses, we can correct the weaknesses by providing the exact nutrients through supplements, diet and lifestyle changes. Restoring the body back into balance.
1. Nutrition Response Testing (NRT)
Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) is a non-invasive system of analyzing the body to determine the underlying causes of ill or poor health, symptom or condition. When these are corrected through safe, natural, nutritional means, the body can repair itself in order to attain and maintain more optimum health. With Nutrition Response Testing, we address the root of the issue – not just the symptoms. This technique is a form of applied kinesiology or otherwise known as “muscle-testing”.
Nutrition Response Testing works by allowing your body to communicate where and why imbalances are occurring internally and causing symptoms of poor health.
The analysis is done through testing the body’s neurological reflexes and acupressure points. The neurological reflexes are derived from the part of the nervous system whose job is to regulate the functions of each and every organ. The acupuncture points are selected from the ancient Chinese system of acupuncture, which is 4,000 years old.
NRT is a study of how the different points on the surface of the body relate to the state of health and to the flow of energy in each and every organ and function of the body. When performing NRT, we scan the body and all of the reflex points for the most common stressors that are causing symptoms of poor health: heavy metals, chemical toxicities, (found in our environment), hidden food allergies or sensitivities, immune challenges, scar interferences, and auto immune disturbances. When these stressors accumulate in our body they can build up over time and start to impair the function of major endocrine/metabolic glands and organs that are crucial to our health.
Once we discover the underlying issue and where it is affecting your body, we test to see what nutrients your body needs. When your body receives the proper amount of nutrients in the forms of whole food, essential minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and herbs, many imbalances in your body come back into balance. When this happens, symptoms lessen, in most cases, be eliminated so the body can heal.
2. Morphogenic Field Testing (MFT)
Morphogenic Field Technique is an energetic testing system, designed to move the body towards greater health. The Morphogenic Field (M-Field) is a term used to describe the field of energy around the body. It is an extension of the electrical energy of the nervous system. Everything in nature has an energy field. Many cultures and disciplines recognize this field and give it other names such as auras, chakras, life force and chi.
In the Morphogenic Field Technique, we rely heavily on information from the energy field of the cell to guide us in developing nutritional protocols for the individual patient. Cellular communication is the ultimate goal. When we address the exact nutritional needs at the cellular level, we affect the greatest change in health. When we give our body what it needs to be healthy we get a larger more expanded energy field. A smaller field or one that is distorted usually correlates to having more health challenges.
MFT is an advanced form of muscle testing in which we use your body’s energy field, to find imbalances that will affect the health of the person over time. With M-field Technique we can have an energetic conversation with your body and find how to correct these imbalances using natural supplements and herbs, diet and lifestyle recommendations.
Bring your most recent labs in so we can analyze the results or we can order a variety of lab testing based on our findings.
Some Common Labs we can order:
- Full Thyroid Panel
- Hormone Panel (Male and Female)-Blood & Saliva
- Metabolic Panel
- Lipid Panel
- Heavy Metal-Blood & Hair Analysis
- Heart Disease and Stroke Risk Profile
- Autoimmune
- Leaky Gut
- Food sensitivities
The Heart Sound Recorder (HSR) is a computer based Low Risk; General Wellness Heart Stress Monitor to acquire, display, record and save heart sounds.
Certain types of normal heart stress can be monitored by visualizing the Rate, Rhythm and Tone of the heart cycle. The heart’s reaction to certain types of normal stress, such as nutritional or emotional stress, can be nearly immediate, and it’s response to given a mitigation technique is often rapid. These changes can be observed by changes of the frequency, ratio, amplitude and characteristics of the heart waveform.
Intended Use:
- Maintaining or encouraging a general state of health
- Helping reduce risk or impact of certain chronic diseases or conditions
*Findings from this device can be used to support, but should not be used in place of sound medical therapies and recommendations.
Max Pulse testing will give you a detailed analysis of arterial health, along with a separate report containing a detailed analysis of the autonomic nervous system and stress/fatigue levels.
