Muscle Testing in Guthrie Center, IA
Nutrition Response Testing & Applied Kinesiology
Dr. Jessica Carney uses muscle testing to help identify underlying imbalances that may be impacting your health, energy, digestion, and overall wellbeing — and then creates a personalized plan to address them naturally.
Using the clinically developed protocol of Nutrition Response Testing — a specific and highly effective form of applied kinesiology — Dr. Jessica is able to assess how your body is functioning at a deeper level and determine exactly what nutritional support it needs to heal and thrive.
How Muscle Testing Works
Muscle testing is a non-invasive assessment technique that uses the body's own neurological responses to identify areas of stress, dysfunction, and imbalance. During a Nutrition Response Testing session, Dr. Jessica will apply gentle pressure to specific points on your body while testing the strength and response of indicator muscles. Changes in muscle response reveal how different organs, systems, and tissues are functioning — and where your body may need additional support.
Think of it as your body's own built-in communication system. Rather than guessing what supplements or dietary changes might help, Nutrition Response Testing allows Dr. Jessica to listen to what your body is actually telling her — and respond with a targeted, personalized nutrition and supplement protocol designed specifically for you.
This approach is rooted in the principles of applied kinesiology and has helped thousands of patients across the country find answers and relief from chronic health concerns that conventional medicine couldn't fully address.

What to Expect During Your Session
Your first Nutrition Response Testing session is a thorough, one-on-one assessment designed to give Dr. Jessica a complete picture of how your body is functioning and where it needs support.
You'll begin by discussing your current health concerns, symptoms, and health history with Dr. Jessica. From there, she will perform a full Nutrition Response Testing analysis — using gentle muscle testing techniques to assess your body's neurological responses and identify areas of stress or imbalance. The process is completely non-invasive and painless. Most patients find it fascinating to experience firsthand.
Based on your results, Dr. Jessica will design a personalized nutrition and whole food supplement protocol specifically tailored to your body's needs. She will walk you through her findings, explain what she discovered, and give you a clear, actionable plan to start supporting your body from the inside out.
Follow-up sessions are used to monitor your progress, adjust your protocol as your body responds and heals, and continue identifying and addressing any remaining areas of imbalance.
