Natural Health Improvement Center of Des Moines Dr. Sarah Outlaw, BCDHH - Holistic Doctor - Safe, natural solutions for many health concerns. What is Nutrition Response Testing? GREAT NEWS!

Our Health Improvement Program Uses a Specific Method of Muscle Testing Called Nutrition Response Testing® to Create Designed Clinical Nutrition for each individual client. Who can this program benefit:

*Do you have one or more health conditions that have become chronic?

*Have you tried conventional medicine or even alternative practitioners without seeing or feeling an improvement in your health?

*Have you experienced a negative impact in your personal life, in relationships you’re your spouse or children, at your job, and/or in personal finances as a result of health issues?

*Are you afraid that in time your health issues are not going to get better and will probably continue to worsen unless effective changes are made? If you answer yes to any or all of these questions, and you are ready to commit to making the changes necessary to begin your journey to wellness, we invite you to participate in our Health Improvement Program here at NHIC. This program incorporates the process of Nutrition Response Testing® to effectively find the source of the health problem and gives us the tools to help you correct it. Health Improvement Program

Our Health Improvement/Nutrition Response Testing® Program requires your commitment to taking charge of your own health and your commitment to following recommendations faithfully in order to optimize your potential health benefits. In order to do this effectively we need to make sure that you are aware of what Nutrition Response Testing® is and upon what we expect of you. If you want to get healthy and stay healthy, and you are ready to take control to restore your health and wellness, then you are a candidate for this program. Nutrition Response Testing is very precise and scientific. However, if you were to be analyzed using Nutrition Response Testing before it was explained to you, you might find it strange, or simply not believable – only because it is probably very different from anything you may have experienced before. Nutrition Response Testing® is a non-invasive system of analyzing the body in order to determine the root cause of ill health. It uses muscle strength testing to communicate with the body’s own innate intelligence to evaluate the body’s response to a broad variety of substances that may be affecting health and function. Through our analysis we are testing your body’s neurological reflexes. These reflexes are the body’s way of telling us what and how the nervous system is doing. We test organs, glands, joints, muscles, etc. The body responds to these procedures reliably and consistently. This feedback is so precise that it opens the door to a safe and lasting recovery, even in cases where everything else has failed. YOUR BODY has the potential to fully repair most anything for itself, given the right nutrients and care. It is very important that you understand what Nutrition Response Testing® is and appreciate how it works. Otherwise, you are less likely to follow through and actually do what you need to do to get well. If you do not follow through, you will not experience the benefits you seek. In Nutrition Response Testing® we do not diagnose or treat disease. There are two parts to the program

Part 1 - Analysis – the assessment of your body’s current health status

*The analysis is done through testing the body’s own neurological reflexes and certain acupuncture points. Nutrition Response Testing® analyzes the different points and areas on the surface of the body that relate to the state of health and to the flow of energy in each and every organ and function of the body.

*The neurological reflexes are derived from the part of the nervous system whose job it is to regulate the functions of each and every organ. The acupuncture points are selected from the ancient Chinese system of acupuncture, which is thousands of years old.

* Each Nutrition Response Testing® reflex represents a specific organ, tissue or function, and it indicates the effect that energy or lack of energy, is having upon the body. By testing these reflexes, we have a system of monitoring your body at each visit that has proven to be extremely accurate clinically and that helps us identify exactly what the body needs and how well we are meeting that need. How Do You Do The Nutrition Response Testing® Analysis? Think about a common medical test called the electrocardiogram [EKG] that is used to test the neuro-electric activity of the heart. Like an EKG but instead of using a machine, the Nutrition Response Testing® practitioner tests the reflex areas through contact with his / her own hand. With the practitioner’s other hand, he / she will test the muscle of your extended arm. If the reflex being contacted is “active” the nervous system will respond by reducing energy to the extended arm and the arm will weaken and drop. This drop signifies underlying stress or dysfunction which can be affecting your health. Part 2 - Implementation – personalized health and nutritional recommendations and supplementation.

*Our next step is to test specific, time-tested and proven, highest-possible quality nutritional formulas against those weak areas, to find which ones bring the reflexes back to strength.

*Decades of clinical experience tell us that when we have found the correct nutritional supplements, as indicated by this procedure, and have worked out a highly personalized nutritional supplement schedule, we have identified the most important first step in correcting the underlying deficiency or imbalance that caused the reflex to be active in the first place. By following the program as precisely as possible, you are well on your way to restoring normal function and improving your health.

*In Nutrition Response Testing® we use Designed Clinical Nutrition to correct the cause of the problem, so that the body can regain the ability to correct itself. What is a Designed Clinical Nutrition? Designed Clinical Nutrition is what it says . . .

*Designed (specially prepared, based on a specific plan)

*Clinical (pertaining to the results gotten in clinical use or actual practice on huge numbers of patients over many years)

*Nutrition (real food, designed by nature to enable the body to repair itself and grow healthfully). Designed Clinical Nutrition is concentrated, whole food in a tablet, capsule, powder or liquid, prepared using a unique manufacturing process that preserves all of the active enzymes and vital components that make it work as Nature intended. These real food supplements have been designed to match the needs of the body, as determined by the positive response shown when tested against the active Nutrition Response Testing® reflexes that were found on your individual Nutrition Response Testing® analysis. These are nutrients you are simply not getting, or not assimilating, in your current diet. Designed Clinical Nutrition does NOT employ Over-The-Counter vitamins. O-T-C vitamins are pharmaceutically engineered chemical fractions of vitamin structures reproduced in a laboratory. O-T-C vitamins are not “genuine replacement parts” as they lack many of the essential elements normally present in WHOLE foods. SUMMARY

Through an analysis of your body’s reflexes, we help you to determine the exact nutrients you need to supplement your diet in order to bring about balance and better health. We make these highly concentrated therapeutic formulations available to you in tablets, capsules, powdered or in liquid form to “supplement” your current diet. That’s why they are called “food supplements.” Depending on your individual situation, we might also require that you make some specific changes in your diet & eating habits and in your routines, in order to bring about the best possible result.

We just had to share!

🍉 Watermelon Hydrated Launches Today at 11 AM CST - Online Only

We have a brand new, limited-edition flavor of Hydrated launching today, and I am genuinely excited about this one.

Watermelon Hydrated is expected to go quickly, especially for summer.

If you already love Hydrated, this is a great flavor to have on hand.

Let me share why this product has become such a staple in my practice.

In the labs I review every day, one of the most common patterns I see is dehydration. Not just from lack of water intake, but from electrolyte imbalance. Many people are drinking plenty of water and still not truly hydrated at the cellular level.

That is where Hydrated stands apart.

This is not just another electrolyte drink. It is designed to support hydration where your body actually needs it most.

Hydrated helps:
• Replenish essential electrolytes
• Support cellular-level hydration
• Improve mental clarity and focus
• Support muscle recovery and endurance
• Support circulation and cardiovascular function
• Maintain fluid balance during workouts, heat, and busy days

It also includes:
• Coconut water powder for natural electrolyte balance
• Glycine to support fluid absorption
• Vitamin C for additional support
• No added sugar
• No artificial dyes

Clinically, this is one of the products I see people notice quickly.

Personally, I have seen it help with things like leg cramps and headaches. And one of the most interesting observations in our own home and among colleagues is this: we have not needed hand lotion for the past two winters while using Hydrated regularly. That is a strong reflection of what is happening at the cellular level.

This is one of the most consistently loved products in our community for a reason.

• Limited-time summer flavor
• Great option for summer mocktails
• May sell out quickly

As a thank you, anyone who orders between Wednesday and Sunday through my link will be entered into a $25 cash rebate giveaway.

If you are new to ordering, you can also use code give10 for $10 off your first order.

I used to think allergies were just “seasonal.” 🌸
Now I see them very differently.

Because after years of working with patients, one thing is clear:

Allergies are common…
but they are not normal.

If they were normal, everyone would have them.
But they don’t.

So when your body reacts to pollen, foods, or the environment…
that is not random.

That is a signal.

A signal that something deeper is off.

Here is what I see over and over again:

• A liver that is overwhelmed and not clearing histamine efficiently
• A gut that is inflamed, stressed, or dealing with parasites and imbalances
• A toxic load the body cannot keep up with
• Hidden infections quietly stressing the immune system
• A nervous system stuck in chronic stress

When the body is already overwhelmed, even small triggers feel like too much.

So it is not just “seasonal allergies.”
It is a body asking for support.

This is why quick fixes only go so far.

If you actually want things to change, you have to look deeper.

Start here:

✔️ Focus on real, anti-inflammatory foods that support the liver
✔️ Hydrate consistently
✔️ Reduce processed foods and chemical exposure
✔️ Use gentle herbal support like milk thistle, dandelion, and nettle

But most importantly…
figure out what YOUR body is dealing with.

Because no two people are the same.

This is exactly what I do inside my practice.
We don’t guess. We test. And we build a plan based on what your body actually needs.

If you are tired of dealing with this every year, this is your sign to do something different.
