At Sonrise Wellness, we use Nutrition Response Testing® to uncover what your body truly needs to function at its best. This gentle, non-invasive process helps identify nutritional imbalances and stressors so we can provide natural support that restores balance and energy.
Nutrition response testing offers more than symptom relief, it helps your body communicate what it needs to heal and thrive naturally, guiding us toward a personalized plan designed just for you. Each person's body holds unique signals and responses, and by listening closely to those cues, we can address the underlying factors affecting your health rather than simply managing the surface-level symptoms.
Over time, nutrition response testing empowers you to understand how your body responds to different foods, environments, and stressors. As we track your progress, we refine your plan to strengthen vitality, enhance energy, and promote long-term balance. This process is not just about recovery, it's about helping you reconnect with your body's natural ability to restore and maintain its own wellness.
Starting a new wellness routine can feel overwhelming, but we're here to make the transition as smooth and natural as possible. Keep scrolling to see how Nutrition Response Testing works and what to expect during your session!
Every journey begins with listening. During your first visit, we’ll talk about your health history, lifestyle, and any symptoms you’re experiencing. This conversation helps us understand your unique story and how your body may have developed certain patterns or stress responses over time.
Next, you’ll extend your arm while your provider applies gentle pressure as you hold your body’s “lock.” When an organ or system is under stress, your nervous system instinctively redirects energy from the locking muscle to protect that area—just as your body preserves core warmth during hypothermia by pulling heat away from the hands and feet. These subtle changes help reveal which organs may be weakened or in need of support.
Once the body’s reflexes are evaluated, we identify which organs are most stressed and prioritize them based on what your body considers most important. From there, we test for possible stressors—such as food sensitivities, immune challenges, chemical exposure, heavy metals, scar tissue, or post-pandemic effects. Understanding these patterns helps us uncover the underlying cause of imbalance rather than just managing symptoms.
With a clear understanding of what your body is communicating, we design a customized nutritional plan that supports healing. This includes whole food supplements and specific dietary changes that target the organs under stress. By giving your body the exact nutrients it needs, we help restore normal function and communication throughout the nervous system so it can direct healing naturally.
Healing is a gradual process that unfolds over time. Follow-up visits allow us to monitor your progress, refine your plan, and observe how your body adapts as balance is restored. While many people begin to notice more energy, clearer focus, and better digestion early on, true healing often takes months or even years. Each step builds on the last, and by staying consistent with your plan and supporting your body’s natural intelligence, lasting wellness becomes possible.

During a session, you’ll extend your arm while your provider applies gentle pressure to test your body’s reflexes. This helps identify which organs are under stress and how your nervous system is responding. When stress is found, your body temporarily shifts energy from the locking muscle to the weakened area, revealing where support is needed. Based on these findings, your provider creates a personalized plan with targeted supplements and dietary guidance to help your body restore balance and heal naturally.
Most clients begin to notice positive changes within the first few weeks as their balance, digestion, and energy improve. However, every body heals at its own pace ranging from six months to several years. For the best results, consistency is key, sticking with your personalized nutrition response testing program over many months allows your body the time it needs to fully adjust, release stored stress, and rebuild optimal function. Each follow-up visit helps refine your plan, track progress, and ensure long-lasting results.
Yes! Nutrition response testing is non-invasive, drug-free, and works in harmony with your body’s natural healing process.
Nutrition response testing focuses on how your body responds to various stressors in real time rather than relying solely on lab results or generalized data. Through gentle muscle testing, we observe how your nervous system reacts to specific stimuli such as foods, toxins, or environmental factors. This approach helps identify the root causes of imbalance rather than just managing surface-level symptoms. By listening to the body's direct responses, Nutrition response testing reveals which systems need support and guides a more personalized path toward lasting wellness.
Yes. You should always talk to your doctor before beginning any new wellness plan and continue regular medical care while receiving nutrition response testing. Nutrition Response Testing often works hand in hand with good medical care, as they complement each other by supporting both the body’s natural function and overall well-being. Be sure to keep your nutrition provider informed of any treatments or medication changes so your plan can safely support your health journey.

Our animal companions experience stress and imbalance just like we do. Nutrition Response Testing for pets helps uncover what may be affecting their health, behavior, or energy levels. Through gentle indirect testing and a look at diet and environmental factors, we identify the nutrients and support your pet needs to feel their best. Diet is key to treating animals. Keep scrolling to see how the process works and what to expect during your pet's session!
We begin by discussing your pet's history, behavior, diet, and environment. This helps us understand patterns that may be contributing to stress, sensitivities, or changes in mood and energy.
Because animals can’t participate directly, we use gentle indirect testing. The practitioner maintains light contact with the owner or handler while the owner maintains contact with the animal, creating an energetic link that reflects the animal’s reflex responses. This process helps identify areas of stress, nutritional imbalance, or organ weakness and guides us in finding the right support to help the animal’s body restore balance.
From the testing results, we identify potential sources of imbalance such as toxins, food sensitivities, or nutrient deficiencies. This helps reveal what’s affecting your pet’s well-being beneath the surface.
We design a plan tailored to your pet’s needs, focusing on food as the most essential part of healing. Diet adjustments, natural supplements, and environmental support work together to help your pet’s body restore balance and vitality.
Regular follow-ups help track progress and adjust the plan as your pet responds. Over time, many pets show improvements in energy, digestion, and overall behavior and comfort.

Indirect testing is a gentle way to evaluate an animal’s health when they can’t participate directly. During the session, the practitioner maintains light contact with the owner or handler while the owner maintains contact with the animal. This creates an energetic connection that allows the practitioner to observe reflex responses through the handler’s body. These responses reveal areas of stress, nutritional imbalance, or organ weakness, helping guide dietary and supplement recommendations to support the animal’s natural healing.
Nutrition response testing can help with a wide range of common pet concerns such as digestive problems, skin irritation, allergies, low energy, and behavioral changes.
