Proper nutrition is essential for the body to self-regulate. Nutritional Analysis can lead to important clues to why your body is not fully functioning. Identifying areas of nutrition where you need extra supplementation is a difficult task. That is why when choosing the proper nutrients for our patients we utilize many tools. When performing a nutritional analysis, we use questionnaires, Applied Kinesiology, BioFeedback testing and lab testing. When we incorporate lab tests, we always explain the purpose of the tests before we proceed and the results once they have been obtained. Both Kinesiology and BioFeedback testing provide results instantly and inexpensively. Laboratory tests are more expensive and take time to get the results but are sometimes necessary due to their reliability and specificity.
