It Never Gets Old – Case I

Intro: Every single day in my practice, I witness the human body communicate with a level of clarity that, even after almost 10 years in practice, leaves me in awe. The stories in this series, It Never Gets Old, highlight the small moments — the quiet confirmations — when the body reveals exactly what is stressing it and what it needs to heal. No identifying details are ever included, just the patterns, the insights, and the beautiful ways the body speaks through muscle testing. That feeling of awe… it just never gets old.
Case #1:
A client came in last week for their routine check-in appointment. I went through our quick, non-invasive Nutrition Response Testing® (NRT) muscle-testing procedure — checking the autonomic nervous system and each organ and gland that needs consistent support for this particular client in the early phase of care.
Everything was improving or stable except for one of two adrenal glands, which showed up as stressed.
From there, I tested the usual stressor categories on the adrenal gland: foods, immune challenges, heavy metals, chemicals, scars, and post-pandemic factors. Nothing registered… until I tested vaccines. After checking nearly every vaccine in my kit, the flu vaccine unmistakably showed up as the stressor interfering with the adrenal gland.
So I asked, “Have you gotten the flu shot in the past?”
The client nodded. “Yes — earlier today.” Wow. Uncanny. I love moments like this, when the body’s communication is that clear and immediate.
Then, with NRT, we identified two supportive supplements — gentle homeopathic remedies from Energetix — to help the adrenal gland clear the stress from the flu shot and return to balance.
The client returned a week later with a noticeable shift. She shared that, unlike past years, she didn’t experience the usual 48 hours of headaches and body aches she typically struggles with post vaccination. Instead, she felt completely well and steady for the rest of the week.
And when I retested her adrenal gland with NRT, it had improved and was stable — just what I expected.
It never gets old.
