What is Nutritional Kinesiology?

​

Nutritional Kinesiology is a holistic approach that explores the intricate connection between the body’s surface points and its overall health, as well as the flow of energy within each organ and bodily function. This field integrates principles from neurology and traditional Chinese medicine to evaluate how well the body is functioning and to identify areas of imbalance.

By assessing neurological reflexes and acupuncture points, Nutritional Kinesiology pinpoints the specific nutritional needs and imbalances affecting the body. This method helps uncover underlying survival triggers that may impede the body’s natural ability to heal and regenerate.

In practice, Nutritional Kinesiology offers a personalized approach to wellness. It involves designing tailored nutritional therapy programs that support and enhance the body’s inherent healing processes. This individualized care aims to restore balance and promote optimal health, helping individuals achieve a higher state of well-being through a comprehensive understanding of their unique physiological needs.

What is InLight Therapy?

​

InLight therapy is a form of light-based treatment that utilizes low-level light therapy (LLLT), also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), to promote healing and relieve pain. This non-invasive therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cells, enhancing their ability to repair and regenerate. The light penetrates the skin to target various layers of tissue, helping to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and stimulate the production of cellular energy, all of which contribute to faster recovery and pain relief. InLight therapy is commonly used for managing chronic pain, musculoskeletal injuries, and conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and soft tissue damage.

The therapy involves the application of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit specific wavelengths. The light is absorbed by the body's tissues, triggering cellular mechanisms that can accelerate healing, reduce pain, and improve overall function. InLight therapy can be applied through handheld devices or larger panels, and sessions typically last anywhere from 20 minutes depending on the area being treated. It's a drug-free approach to managing pain and discomfort, making it an appealing alternative for those who want to avoid pharmaceuticals or invasive procedures.

InLight therapy has gained recognition for its safety and effectiveness in treating a variety of health conditions. It has been FDA-approved for certain wellness applications, including pain management. The FDA approval ensures that InLight devices have met rigorous standards for safety and efficacy. This approval also means that the therapy is considered a viable treatment option for patients seeking non-invasive methods for pain relief and general wellness support. The FDA has reviewed the evidence supporting its use, including clinical studies showing positive results in treating conditions like joint pain, muscle soreness, and even post-surgical recovery.

Beyond pain management, InLight therapy has been explored for a wide range of wellness applications. It has shown promise in improving skin health by stimulating collagen production, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and promoting overall skin rejuvenation. It is also used in athletic settings to speed up recovery after intense physical activity and help reduce muscle stiffness. As research continues, InLight therapy may expand its role in other therapeutic areas, offering a safe, effective, and holistic approach to maintaining and improving health.

Why I am in the field of wellness and nutrition?

​

​I chose to enter the field of natural wellness deeply influenced by my mother’s battle with Hepatitis C and Cirrhosis of the Liver. Over the course of ten years, I witnessed her struggle as numerous doctors prescribed medication after medication, yet her condition continued to worsen. Unfortunately, none of these healthcare professionals addressed the importance of diet and holistic wellness in her treatment.

Reflecting on her experience, I believe that had there been a focus on comprehensive wellness and nutritional support, her outcome might have been different. My mother’s passing was further compounded by a staph infection she contracted from a PICC line provided by a home nurse. Her final wish was for her organs to be used to help find a cure for her illness.

A decade later, a cure for Hepatitis C was indeed discovered. While this medication can effectively eliminate the virus within 8-12 weeks, combining it with a disciplined approach to diet and nutrition can lead to a full recovery and a return to a normal life. This personal journey fuels my commitment to guiding others towards a holistic approach to wellness and prevention.
