NUTRITION RESPONSE TESTING (NRT)
Your body has been pre-programmed to sustain life. Each cell, body part, organ and energy system is genetically encoded to work for continued survival of the organism. Your brain acts 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, sleep patterns, hormone regulation, blood pressure, blood sugar levels, tissue regeneration, and liver and kidney detoxification.
Originally developed by Physicians and Neurologists, NRT 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.
“Nutrition Response Testing is a medical muscle testing system grounded in solid science. It is today probably the fastest and least invasive way to accurately detect food allergies, geopathic and biophysical stress, interference fields, stressed organs and structures, emotional blocks, heavy metal toxicity, dental problems, environmental toxicity and more.”

Symptoms leading to these imbalances are theoretically caused by 7 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, and electromagnetic stress. Dr. Klinghardt MD, has developed specific tests for these factors and treatments to correct them.
NRT is often effective where other treatments fail and is effective for most chronic and acute illnesses. These include but are not limited to: allergies, chronic pain, chronic infections, immune problems, depression, anxiety, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, pre-menstrual syndrome, menopause problems, cancer, diabetes, seizure disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, sinusitis, digestive problems and many others.
NRT is taught through a series of classes from the American Academy of Neural Therapy or the American Academy of Neural Kinesiology. Most of the doctors using NRT are Naturopathic physicians, Medical Doctors, Doctors of Orthopedics, Chiropractors, Acupuncturists or Dentists.
Here’s how it works:
- Make a 30-minute appointment to test for your individual nutritional needs.
- During each session, Dr. Trevisan will evaluate you with special attention focused on identifying any of the factors that are contributing to current symptoms. This includes detecting imbalances that create a disturbance of the Autonomic Nervous System.
- A typical visit may reveal that a patient has gluten intolerance, heavy metal toxicity and a scar from a past surgery that are all causing stress on the ANS. Primary treatment could include light therapy, dietary advice to avoid food allergens, and a personalized whole food based supplementation protocol.
- Come back in 2-4 weeks for another test to see your response to the supplementation program and dietary recommendations
“N.R.T. enables us to test each patient at a core level and identify the real causes of autonomic dis-regulation. We can now correct the root of the problem using time tested nutritional protocols that are safe, sensible and economic, which produce the results we have always felt were possible for our patients.”
