Functional Nutrition

Functional nutrition focuses on the individual patient instead of on diseases. It focuses on all aspects of a person’s health, diet, and lifestyle. Dr. Lindsey performs nutrition response testing which is a non-invasive way to analyze the body and determine the primary underlying cause of disorder or ill health. Our bodies are very complex with interrelated systems; nutrition response testing is systematic and addresses the body as a whole instead of only focusing on one area and helps to restore ideal physiological function. When the underlying cause of disorder is identified and corrected through safe, natural, and nutritional means, then the body is able to repair itself and maintain optimal health. 

Nutritional response testing is a precise and scientific method of analysis, although it is very different from what most patients experience in the modern medical world. Typical medical practices consist of two main parts - diagnosis (naming the problem) and treatment (which generally includes drugs, surgeries, etc.); nutritional response testing, on the other hand, does not result in a diagnosis and treatment plan of a specific disease but rather is an analysis of the your body’s current status and a health improvement program that is specific to your needs. Dr. Lindsey uses nutrition response testing to identify the clinical nutrition that is needed to address the cause of the problem so that your body can reclaim the ability to heal itself. 

The testing process consists of Dr. Lindsey using an analysis that works with your body’s autonomic nervous system. By contacting different areas on the body that relate to specific organs or glands, she is able to assess the health of the organ or gland as well as the area of the body relating to it. Through testing these areas she is then able to continue to monitor your body with each visit to see what your body needs and how well you are responding to the care given.
