Nutrition Response Testing

What it is

Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) is a manual muscle testing system developed by Dr. Freddie Ulan and taught through Ulan Nutritional Systems. It uses your body's responses to a defined sequence of checks to show where it appears to be under stress, and which nutritional support it responds to.

I trained in NRT to the Advanced Master Clinician level. It sits alongside Quantum Nutrition Testing, the foundation of my practice, as a second structured way of reading what your body is prioritizing.

How a session works

You sit or lie comfortably, fully clothed, with one arm extended. I check a series of points on the body while testing the strength of that arm. A change in how the arm holds tells me that point is worth a closer look. Then I test specific nutritional materials to see which ones your body responds to.

Nothing is injected, nothing is drawn, and no skin is broken. I explain what I'm checking as I go, so you're never guessing what's happening.

How I use it alongside QNT

NRT and QNT ask related questions in different ways. I use whichever gives the clearest read for you, and often both. Using both gives me two perspectives on where to start.

What comes out of either one is the same thing: a sequenced plan built around whole foods, targeted nutritional support, and practical changes to sleep, stress, movement, and daily habits. At each check-in, I retest and adjust the plan. You can read how that sequence works on the care plans page.

Who comes to me for NRT

Some people have worked with an NRT practitioner before and moved, or their practitioner retired. Some have read about it and want someone with advanced training. Most simply want a practitioner who will look at the whole picture and take it one step at a time.

If you're looking for a quick fix or a one-time test with a shopping list, I'm not the right fit. My work is a process, and I'd rather say that up front.

In person or remote

I see clients in person at my homestead office in Finlayson, Minnesota, and by video or phone anywhere in the United States. For remote sessions I use direct intention-based energy testing and frequency attunement testing, which I explain on the remote QNT page.

What NRT is not

NRT is not a laboratory test, an imaging study, or a diagnostic procedure. It does not identify diseases, infections, or medical conditions, and I do not use it that way. If something in our work suggests you need a medical workup, I will tell you and refer you.
