What Is Functional Kinesiology?

Functional Kinesiology is a highly individualized, non-diagnostic assessment and treatment approach that integrates the principles of functional medicine, energy testing, and nutritional science. It recognizes that every person’s biology, physiology, and nutritional needs are unique—and that true healing emerges when we work in harmony with the body’s innate intelligence.

Using precise muscle response testing and evaluation of reflex points and meridians, Functional Kinesiology offers insight into the health of organs, glands, and complex physiological systems. This method allows us to determine, with specificity, what is currently happening in the body and what it needs to move toward greater coherence.

Unlike the standardized or “cookbook” approach often seen in conventional and even clinical nutrition, BioField Testing is dynamic and individualized. It identifies the underlying causes of dysfunction and supports the body’s ability to self-regulate, heal, and thrive.

We do not diagnose or treat disease. Instead, we evaluate physiological patterns and support their correction through a comprehensive healing process—one that honors your body’s unique intelligence.

The result is simply that your body returns to a deeper sense of vitality, harmony, and peace - and a greater coherence overall.

Our Lineage and Influences

The origins of our work are rooted in the pioneering field of Applied Kinesiology, developed in the 1960s by Dr. George Goodheart. Over the past three decades, we have expanded and refined our approach by integrating several advanced kinesiological systems, including:

• Applied Integrated Therapies (AIT) – taught by Dan Newell, M.S.

• Applied Response Testing (ART) and Applied Psycho-Neurobiology (APN) – developed by Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, Ph.D.

• BioField Testing (formerly Morphogenic Field Therapy) – taught by Frank Springob, D.C.

This fusion of methods allows for a sophisticated and multidimensional approach to healing—one that integrates physical, biochemical, neurological, and energetic perspectives.

Our Focus: Supporting the Root (not just the symptoms)

Our primary goal is to help you overcome health challenges by identifying and addressing what is most essential—peeling back layers of dysfunction to restore balance from the inside out.

We don’t treat disease; we care for people. That means addressing your symptoms while investigating the deeper physiological imbalances contributing to them. This ensures that both your immediate concerns and underlying root causes are addressed in a meaningful and sustainable way.

Common Conditions We Support:

• Fatigue and Low Energy

• Cognitive and Emotional Imbalances (e.g., brain fog, low motivation, anxiety, depression)

• Sleep Disorders and Insomnia

• Digestive Imbalances (constipation, SIBO, indigestion, bloating)

• Blood Sugar Issues (hypoglycemia, insulin resistance, Type 2 diabetes)

• Cardiovascular Challenges (cold extremities, irregular heartbeat, hypertension, CHF, atherosclerosis)

• Acute and chronic Infections (viral, bacterial, fungal, parasitic)

• Detoxification and Elimination Issues (chemical sensitivity, heavy metal burden, mold toxins)

• Immune Dysfunction (autoimmunity, allergies, food sensitivities, mold exposure)

• Acute and Chronic Inflammation and Pain

• Hormonal Imbalances (e.g., menopause, andropause, thyroid, adrenal, and pituitary imbalances)

• Endocrine System Dysregulation involving the hypothalamus, pineal gland, thymus, pancreas, reproductive organs, and more

Our approach focuses on uncovering the body’s most foundational vulnerabilities and restoring vitality through deeply personalized, non-invasive interventions.

What to Expect When Working With Us

We view our work together as a partnership—one that begins with listening and continues through every step of your healing process.

Our Process Includes:

1. Comprehensive Intake
   We take time to understand your health history, primary concerns, and what has or hasn't worked for you in the past.

2. In-depth Physiological Assessment
   Using extensive digital questionnaires and muscle testing, we identify systemic strengths and weaknesses.

3. Advanced Non-invasive Screening
   We utilize technologies such as the Zyto Balance Scanner and the Heart Sound Recorder to evaluate stress responses and heart function as part of a whole-body assessment.

4. Laboratory Testing
   We assess your existing lab results, as well as order you the missing labs that are needed to create a complete clinical picture.

5. Dietary and Lifestyle Evaluation
   We help you explore nutrition, movement, and lifestyle patterns that best serve your unique constitution and goals.

6. Kinesiological Testing for Supplements & Botanical Medicine
   Through BioField Testing, we determine which nutritional and botanical support would be most beneficial for you in supporting your healing.

7. Individualized Therapeutic Recommendations
   We offer a wide array of therapeutic modalities tailored to support your physical, emotional, and energetic health.

8. Ongoing support and availability
   Throughout your journey, we remain easily accessible to you and are committed to your care, providing regular guidance and support.

Our Commitment to You

We hold a vision of total healing alongside you. True healing unfolds in layers—from the inside out—and always involves transformation at multiple levels. Our mission is to support this sacred process with sensitivity, integrity, and deep respect for your individuality.

“Healing is not only a matter of finding and removing the weeds that overgrow the garden of your life—but of learning how to cultivate that garden with intention and joy, so it may bloom in ways you never imagined.”
