Stop Poisoning Yourself: The Truth About Food Sensitivities and the Power of Nutrition Response Testing

Food Sensitivities

The Provocation: Your "Healthy" Diet is a Lie

Let’s be brutally honest. You are doing everything "right." You are eating the kale, blending the green smoothies, avoiding the drive-thru, and buying the organic produce that costs half your paycheck. You are following the rules.

And you still feel like hell.

You are bloated three hours a day. Your brain is wrapped in a thick fog that coffee can’t penetrate. You drag yourself out of bed in the morning feeling heavier than when you went to sleep. You go to your doctor, they run a standard blood panel, and they look you in the eye and say, "Everything looks normal. Maybe it's just stress."

This is not healthcare. This is betrayal.

If you are suffering, you are not "normal." Your body is not a machine that malfunctions without reason; it is a biological fortress under siege. The enemy isn't always the obvious junk food. The enemy is often the very thing you’ve been told is saving you. If your body cannot process it, that "superfood" salad is nothing more than expensive poison.

The conventional narrative has failed to tell you the truth: One man’s meat is literally another man’s poison. It is time to stop guessing, stop suffering, and start listening to what your body is actually screaming at you.

The Unmasking: Why Your Gut is a Swamp (The TCM Perspective) and Food Sensitivities

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), we do not view digestion merely as plumbing. We view it as the Earth Element—the literal center of your existence. It is governed by the Spleen and Stomach systems. When these systems are robust, they transform food into Qi (vital energy) and Blood. They are the engine of your vitality.

But for most of you, that engine is broken.

When you consume foods that your specific energy cannot tolerate—whether it’s gluten, dairy, or even seemingly innocent foods like strawberries or spinach—you are throwing wet logs onto a dying fire. The result is what we call Dampness and Food Stagnation.

Imagine a swamp. It is heavy, sluggish, and murky. Things rot in a swamp. That is your gut right now.

• Stagnation: Food sits. It doesn't move. This creates the sensation of being "stuck," the bloating, and the discomfort.

• Dampness: This is the accumulation of heavy, sluggish energy. It manifests as a heavy body, swollen limbs, and that unshakable mental "fog" that makes you feel like you're wading through mud.

• Spleen Qi Deficiency: Your digestive fire is extinguished. You are metabolically cold. You cannot extract essence from your food, so you are depleted at a fundamental level even while you are stuffed with food.

Standard approaches try to treat the swamp by suppressing the symptoms. They cover the noise while the imbalance deepens. At The Point, we do not suppress. We dredge the swamp. We identify exactly what is extinguishing your fire and we remove it.

The Revolution: Reclaim Your Power with Nutrition Response Testing

How do we know what is burdening you? We don’t guess. We don’t rely on generalized advice that ignores your individuality. We use Nutrition Response Testing (NRT).

This is the revolution you have been waiting for.

NRT is a precise method of analyzing the body in real-time to determine the underlying energetic imbalances. It is based on the understanding that your body is a self-regulating ecosystem. Every organ, every tissue, and every function has a specific energetic signature.

When you have a food sensitivity, your body perceives that food as a threat. The moment that substance interacts with your energy field, your system flinches. It loses its stability.

Through specific muscle testing, we can access your body’s intuitive knowledge. We ask the body questions, and the body answers through changes in muscle strength and energetic coherence.

• We ask: "Is the liver burdened?" Your body answers.

• We ask: "Is wheat the enemy?" Your body answers.

• We ask: "Is your system depleted?" Your body answers.

This is not magic. This is bio-feedback.

Conventional sensitivity tests often look for a specific immune reaction in the blood. But sensitivities can be subtle and insidious. They don't always show up on a lab report, but they slowly erode your vitality over years. NRT bypasses the confusion and goes straight to the source: your body's own reactions.

We find the primary offender. We find the hidden burdens—the environmental stressors, the energetic blocks—that are locking your body in a state of chronic defense. We stop the guessing game. We find the "lock," and then we find the key.

The Amplifiers: A Path to Total Liberation

Once we have identified the stressors (the foods draining you) and removed them, we must rebuild the fortress. You cannot rebuild a temple using rotten wood. You need the highest quality raw materials.

The Weaponry: Standard Process Supplements

Many vitamins on the market are synthetic imitations. They are man-made isolates that try to mimic nature but often fall short. Your body often struggles to recognize them as food.

At The Point, we exclusively utilize Standard Process whole food supplements. These are not synthetic creations; they are concentrated food. They are derived from plants and animal tissues, processed carefully to preserve the "vital force"—the enzymes and natural co-factors—intact.

When your NRT analysis reveals a weary liver, we don’t give you a synthetic substitute. We give you the nutritional essence of a healthy liver to support your own. This is nourishment as nature intended.

The Synergy: Acupuncture as the Catalyst

While NRT identifies the nourishment your body needs, acupuncture opens the roads for it to travel. By utilizing specific meridian points, we shift your system out of "defense mode" and into "restoration mode." We unblock the stagnation so that the nutrition can actually reach the areas that are starving for it.

This combination—removing the burden via NRT, rebuilding with Standard Process, and activating flow with Acupuncture—is not just a "treatment." It is a total reset of your foundation.

Your Final Declaration of Independence

You have two choices right now.

You can close this page. You can go back to your "healthy" salad, take your daily antacid, and continue to wonder why you feel exhausted, bloated, and miserable. You can accept the lie that this is just "getting older."

Or you can wake up.

Your body is capable of profound restoration, but only if you stop assaulting it with things it cannot handle. You do not have to live with the bloating. You do not have to accept the fatigue. You do not have to be a victim of your own dinner plate.

We have the tools to uncover the truth. The question is: Are you brave enough to hear it?

Stop enduring. Start thriving.
