Nutrition Response Testing™ (NRT)
Listen to the Body. Correct the Cause.
At Baccellieri Chiropractic, we avoid practices that simply mask symptoms. Nutrition Response Testing™ allows us to identify the root causes of fatigue, inflammation, digestive issues, chronic illness, hormonal imbalances, and immune stress, then guide your body back to balance using targeted whole-food nutrition and toxin-clearing support.
NRT is a gentle, non-invasive assessment method that uses neurological reflex testing and manual muscle response to read how your nervous system is functioning. When an area of the body is under stress. From a nutrient deficiency, toxin, infection, or digestive imbalance, the nervous system signals stress through specific reflex points and changes in muscle response. This gives us a real-time window into how your body is operating, and what it needs to heal.
It combines applied kinesiology–style manual muscle testing, reflex point analysis, autonomic nervous system evaluation, and strategic supplementation protocols.
How NRT Works
During your assessment, we:
-
Evaluate neurological reflex points tied to organs and glands
-
Use precise muscle response testing to identify stress or imbalance
-
Determine priority stressors (nutrient deficiencies, toxins, pathogens, sensitivities)
-
Test whole-food nutrition and detox support to find what best strengthens the body
-
Create a personalized healing program based on your body’s responses
Every plan is unique and tailored to your physiology, your nervous system, and your life.
The Core Mechanism
Nutrition Response Testing™ (NRT) operates on three key physiological ideas:
1. The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) as the Master Regulator
-
Your nervous system is constantly monitoring internal organs for stress and dysfunction.
-
NRT practitioners stimulate neurological reflex points associated with organs and glands to read that stress response.
2. Muscle Testing as a Functional Output
-
The practitioner applies gentle pressure while touching reflex points.
-
Strong muscle = body tolerates stimulus
-
Weak muscle = body shows stress/imbalance
-
This reflects how the nervous system responds to that specific organ stimulation, similar to “stress testing” individual circuits in the body.
3. Priority-Based Healing
-
NRT identifies the highest-priority stressor first, often one of these:
-
Nutritional deficiency
-
Immune stress (chronic infections)
-
Toxicity (heavy metals, chemical toxins, mold, etc.)
-
Food sensitivities
-
Digestive dysfunction
-
Scars or interference fields
-
-
The body heals in layers, so NRT follows a sequential correction model.
Why Patients Choose NRT
Many patients come to us after being told their lab work is “normal,” yet they still feel:
-
Tired or rundown
-
Bloated or inflamed
-
Foggy or anxious
-
Hormonal or metabolic imbalance
-
Stuck in chronic symptoms
NRT helps uncover what traditional testing often misses, like the functional stress patterns in the nervous system and organs that precede full-blown disease.
By partnering with your body’s built-in intelligence, we restore balance from the inside out.
Healing Through Targeted
Nutritional Support
Your customized program may include:
-
Whole-food nutrients & herbal support
-
Mitochondrial and nervous-system restoration
-
Detox and drainage protocols
-
Immune and gut-support therapies
-
Food sensitivity and dietary guidance
As your body heals, your reflexes change, and we adjust your program accordingly.
This makes NRT a truly dynamic, responsive, and individualized approach to wellness.
