Nutrition Response Testing
What is Nutrition Response Testing?
Have you been told "everything looks normal," yet deep down, you know something isn’t right?
You’re not alone, and you're not imagining things.
​
At Optimum Wellness Solutions in West Des Moines, we use a gentle, non-invasive system called Nutrition Response Testing® to finally get you the answers you deserve. This powerful tool helps us identify the root causes of your symptoms and create a personalized path back to health using holistic, natural solutions—not guesswork.
We Listen to What Your Body is Trying to Say
Your body is constantly sending signals. Whether it’s chronic fatigue, digestive discomfort, brain fog, or hormonal imbalance, those symptoms are like warning lights on a dashboard—they’re trying to get your attention.
​
Nutrition Response Testing is how we listen.
​
Using advanced muscle testing techniques, we identify which organs or systems are under stress and which nutritional imbalances may be contributing to your symptoms. Think of it as tapping into your body’s internal GPS—giving us real-time feedback on what’s helping and what’s harming.
​
No high-tech equipment or elaborate testing. Just honest, bio-individual insight you can trust.
How it Works (and Why it's Different)
Unlike traditional medical approaches that focus on symptom management, Nutrition Response Testing helps us answer deeper questions:
​
-
What’s not functioning properly in the body?
-
What stressors—like food sensitivities, toxins, or immune challenges—are at play?
-
What nutrients or supports are needed to restore balance?
​
Once we uncover these answers, we design a customized functional nutrition program using whole food supplements and lifestyle guidance tailored specifically to your needs.
​
It’s not about chasing symptoms. It’s about solving health mysteries.
Who is This For?
Nutrition Response Testing is especially helpful if you’re dealing with:
​
-
Digestive issues (bloating, IBS, food sensitivities)
-
Hormonal imbalances (thyroid, perimenopause, PMS)
-
Low energy, mood swings, or brain fog
-
Autoimmune symptoms
-
Stubborn weight gain
-
Chronic inflammation or joint pain
​​
Most of our patients have already tried conventional medicine, prescriptions, or even other holistic methods with little or no lasting results. That’s why we do things differently.
