Iridology
The science and practice of revealing inflammation on the body.  It can be used to direct one's nutritional efforts.  Iridology, as a natural early warning system, alerts us to over activity and degeneration.  The iris reveals bodily conditions, inherent weaknesses, levels of health and the transition that takes place in a person's body according to the way he or she lives.  Iridology is an accepted and respected practice in Europe.

pH Balancing
Our bodies have and internal environment or biological terrain.  When our biological terrain is in balance, our cells prosper.  When our environment is out of balance, our cells fail to thrive creating an environment which which can grow unhealthy things such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, parasites or cancer cells.  One of the most fundamental factors in health is pH - the acid/alkaline balance of our body’s tissues and fluids.  When one’s pH is balanced, it works to maintain the health of the entire system.

Kinesiology / Muscle Testing
Bioenergetics is the science of the active force of life.  It states that every organism has bioenergy - the energy that makes us alive; that animates us.  Every cell in our body contains this energy.  The brain acts as the communication center for almost every action in the body.  Messages are transmitted in our body through our nervous system.  When nerves are pinched, severed, malnourished or under stress, oxygen supply  is depleted - the electric system is shorted.  Kinesiology is a tool that helps practitioners discover organ weakness and strength, nutritional deficiencies and customize herbal programs.

Biofeedback Testing

Each client is evaluated using Zyto technology, which measures the most rapidly changing field in the body, the energetic field, which processes 400 million impulses of information per second.   This information is used to make better decisions about personal health, preference for nutritional supplements and foods to avoid.   Even though this information has obvious value, the results of a bio-survey are not diagnostic.

Chinese Tongue & Nail Analysis
The method of tongue diagnosis can be described as one of the Chinese and Indian Ayurvedic techniques in relation to long term disease prevention and good health.  The Chinese have used it for thousands of years.  Generally the appearance of the tongue can guide valuable information concerning oran function.  The fingernails have the capacity to show very openly detectable characteristics that correspond to organ function and bodily health.  The physical clarity of nail markers allows the fingernails to accurately show the condition of the body in a clear manner.

Aromatherapy
Since ancient times humankind has used pure plant essential oils for their health benefits.  Essential oils have many uses.  Some are antiviral, antimicrobial or anti-fungal; others soothe inflammation, relax tense muscles or enhance breathing.  Aromatherapy can enhance your health on all levels - physically, spiritually and emotionally.

Resting Metabolic Rate Testing
Balance is the key to safe, lasting weight management - diet, exercise and supplementation.  Surprisingly most of the calories we burn in a day - up to 80% - are not burned during activity, but while we rest.  This is called “resting metabolic rate” or RMR.  This number represents the number of calories you burn daily to keep all of our body systems operating properly.  Due to a variety of factors, we all burn calories at different rates.  KNOW YOUR BURN RATE and achieve your weight loss goal.
