Nutrition Response Testing in Medina, OH – Complementary Nutritional Assessment Near You
Nutrition Response Testing is an optional, complementary service within our broader care approach outlined on the chiropractic services page.
If you are searching for “nutrition response testing near me” because you feel something is wrong despite “normal” tests, you are not alone. Many people with fatigue, digestive complaints, skin issues, or chronic pain look for additional ways to assess what might be stressing their body and to guide nutritional changes.
At Lite Force Chiropractic, we offer Nutrition Response Testing as a complementary, non-invasive assessment tool. It is not a medical diagnostic test and not a substitute for standard medical evaluation. It is an alternative method some patients choose to help guide individualized food and supplement choices within a broader wellness plan.
We use it alongside, not instead of, conventional care.
What Is Nutrition Response Testing?
Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) is a proprietary, muscle-testing–based system developed by chiropractor Freddie Ulan, DC. It is described by its originators as:
A non-invasive method of analyzing the body’s “neurological reflexes” and “energy” patterns.
An assessment of how different areas of the body respond when they are touched or challenged, typically using changes in arm strength as feedback.
A way to design a personalized “health improvement” program using specific food and supplement recommendations (“Designed Clinical Nutrition”).
In practice, the clinician lightly contacts specific points on the body while testing the strength of an extended arm. When the arm appears to weaken in response to touching a particular point, this is interpreted within the NRT system as a possible area of “stress” or reduced function.
Again, this interpretation is specific to this complementary system and is not how conventional medicine or mainstream nutrition evaluates organs or disease.
Important Limits and Safety Considerations
You need this clear and upfront:
NRT is not a medical diagnostic test. It does not diagnose disease, does not replace blood work, imaging, or standard medical assessment.
Evidence is limited. There is no strong, high-quality scientific evidence that Nutrition Response Testing reliably identifies disease or nutrient deficiencies. Most support is anecdotal or based on practitioner experience, not controlled clinical trials.
It should not be used as the sole basis for major health decisions, especially when serious symptoms are present (e.g., rapid weight loss, chest pain, shortness of breath, neurological deficits, severe abdominal painx not drugs. Products used in NRT programs are dietary supplements, not medications, and are not evaluated by the FDA to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.
For any significant medical concern, you must be working with your primary care physician or appropriate specialist. NRT, if you choose to use it, should be adjunctive to that care, not a replacement.
Who Might Consider Nutrition Response Testing?
Some patients elect to explore Nutrition Response Testing when they:
Have chronic, non-emergency symptoms (fatigue, bloating, skin irritation, mild joint discomfort) that persist despite normal routine labs.
Want a more structured way to approach food and supplement choices instead of guessing at random products.
Are already under medical care, but want an additional complementary framework to think about diet and lifestyle.
Prefer a hands-on, non-invasive approach that focuses on whole foods and specific supplement protocols.
NRT is not appropriate if:
You are experiencing acute, severe, or rapidly progressing symptoms that may indicate serious disease.
You are unwilling to maintain contact with a medical doctor for necessary diagnostic testing and management.
You are looking for a guaranteed cure or a validated diagnostic test – NRT is neither.
How Nutrition Response Testing Is Done at Lite Force Chiropractic
At Lite Force Chiropractic, NRT is integrated into a broader, conservative-care environment (chiropractic, rehab, cold laser, decompression). A typical NRT process looks like this:
1. Initial Consultation and History
We review your health history, current diagnoses, medications, and lab work (if available).
We clarify your goals: energy, digestion, skin, sleep, pain, weight, etc.
We confirm that you are under appropriate medical supervision for any significant conditions.
2. Nutrition Response Testing Assessment
You lie comfortably while we perform the muscle-testing procedure.
The practitioner contacts specific points on the body (associated in NRT with certain organs or systems) while testing arm strength.
Changes in arm strength are, within the NRT framework, interpreted as possible indicators of stress or imbalance in those areas.
Again, these are interpretations within an alternative system, not recognized diagnostic signs in mainstream medicine.
4. Follow-Up Visits
We reassess your symptoms, energy, digestion, etc.
Repeat NRT assessments may be done to see if previously “weak” reflexes change over time within the NRT model.
Supplement dosages and dietary recommendations are adjusted based on your response and tolerability.
If concerning symptoms appear or worsen, we recommend immediate consultation with your primary care physician, and if necessary, appropriate urgent or specialist care.
3. Designed Clinical Nutrition Plan
Based on the findings from your history and NRT session, we may recommend:
Dietary adjustments (emphasis on whole, minimally processed foods; attention to specific food categories).
Whole-food–based supplements (vitamins, minerals, herbal or glandular products) chosen according to NRT findings.
Lifestyle recommendations (sleep, hydration, stress-modifying strategies) as appropriate.
The aim is to provide a structured, individualized nutrition plan you can test over time, with regular follow-ups to track how you actually feel.
How NRT Fits With Other Services at Lite Force
NRT at Lite Force is optional and adjunctive. Many patients come to us primarily for:
Nutrition Response Testing is offered as a separate, complementary option for those who want to explore targeted nutrition and supplement strategies on top of mechanical and rehabilitation care.
We are clear about the boundaries: NRT supports wellness and nutritional decision-making, not the diagnosis or treatment of disease.
