Nutrition Response Testing

What Is Nutrition Response Testing?

Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) is a non-invasive clinical assessment technique that uses your body’s own neurological reflexes to identify nutritional deficiencies, organ stress, food sensitivities, and toxic burdens that may be undermining your health. Developed by Dr. Freddie Ulan, NRT provides a precise roadmap for what your body specifically needs to heal and function optimally.

Unlike conventional blood tests that measure levels of nutrients in your bloodstream, NRT evaluates how your organs and systems are actually functioning at the neurological level. This distinction is important because blood levels can appear “normal” while your body’s organs are struggling to perform.

At Aloha Wellness in San Antonio, Dr. Clayton Clark is one of the few practitioners in the area who combines NRT with chiropractic care, creating a truly comprehensive approach to health restoration.

How Nutrition Response Testing Works

During an NRT assessment, Dr. Clark uses gentle muscle testing to evaluate the neurological reflexes associated with your major organs and systems. Here is what happens:

1. Reflex Assessment — Dr. Clark contacts specific reflex points on your body while testing the strength of your extended arm. A strong response indicates the organ or system is functioning well; a weakened response reveals an area of stress or dysfunction.

2. Identifying Stressors — Once an area of dysfunction is identified, Dr. Clark tests various categories of stressors to determine what is affecting that organ: nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities, chemical toxins, heavy metals, or immune challenges.

3. Finding the Solution — With the stressor identified, Dr. Clark tests specific whole food supplements and nutritional protocols to find exactly what your body needs to restore function to that area. The same reflex that showed weakness will strengthen when the correct nutritional support is introduced.

4. Personalized Protocol — You receive a customized supplementation and dietary plan based entirely on your body’s specific needs — not a generic multivitamin or one-size-fits-all approach.

What Can NRT Reveal?

Nutrition Response Testing frequently uncovers hidden issues that conventional testing misses:

• Organ stress in the liver, kidneys, thyroid, adrenals, or digestive tract
• Food sensitivities (gluten, dairy, corn, soy, eggs, and more)
• Environmental toxin exposure (heavy metals, pesticides, chemicals)
• Immune system challenges
• Hormonal imbalances at the functional level
• Nutrient absorption problems
• Gut flora imbalances

Conditions That Respond to NRT

Patients seek NRT for a wide range of chronic health concerns:

• Fatigue and low energy despite adequate sleep
• Digestive problems (bloating, gas, constipation, IBS)
• Weight gain or inability to lose weight
• Chronic inflammation and pain
• Skin conditions (eczema, acne, psoriasis)
• Hormonal issues (thyroid, adrenal, reproductive)
• Allergies and sensitivities
• Brain fog and poor concentration
• Anxiety and mood disorders
• Autoimmune conditions (complementary support)

Why NRT Works When Other Approaches Fall Short

Many patients come to Dr. Clark after years of frustration with conventional medicine. They have had blood work done, been told everything is “normal,” and yet they still feel unwell. NRT bridges this gap by evaluating function rather than just lab ranges.

Additionally, NRT identifies exactly which supplements your body needs — and in what priority. Rather than taking 15 different supplements and hoping something works, you take only what your body specifically tested for, in the correct sequence. This targeted approach is more effective and more affordable than a scatter-shot supplement regimen.
