Virtual Consultations & Muscle Testing by Proxy
Applied kinesiology, also known as muscle testing, measures closed-circuit electrical signals as the body responds to different stimuli, like foods, molds, hormones, and pathogens, etc. At its core, this method is predicated upon receiving information from the Biofield – the quantum field that surrounds every living thing, including our bodies.
For distance consultations, where muscle testing by proxy is requested, a Nutritional Associate will work in tandem with the practitioner to assimilate your field with their own, using Biofield principles. This will allow the practitioner to receive information about your body’s condition and needs with the NA acting as a real-time proxy.
We have found this method to be highly effective, and just as robust as our in-person practice, allowing us to approach any health condition with hyper-granularity and real-time feedback from your body.
If you are scheduling a virtual consultation and want to avail yourself of proxy muscle testing, please request a proxy at the time of scheduling.
