meet Cindy Harrington

As owner and founder of Center for Nutritional Healing, my sole mission is to help each client get well and stay well for lifelong vibrant health. Why? Because my own life experiences – including years of poor health and debilitating chronic pain – led me down the path to seek answers and help for myself. I always believed in my body’s ability to heal itself, but didn’t know how to facilitate the healing or sustain positive changes to my diet and lifestyle. An education in nutrition and nutritional healing served to address my immediate health concerns. Not only was I successful at regaining my well-being and strength, I also experienced for myself the amazing powers of the body’s capacity to heal and learned how to sustain positive changes for my lifetime. I can confidently say today I am in the very best health of my entire life!

The walls of my practice are lined with certificates confirming my formal training and education. But it is the positive results I have personally experienced that are the truest testament to my qualifications and expertise. Today I facilitate healing for others who also experience health issues and chronic pain, and coach them along the path to optimal health through nutrition and nutritional healing.

My Story

Growing up, I lived on the standard American diet of sweets and processed foods until well into my 20s. As a teen, I developed acne and suffered from debilitating menstrual cramps. My energy was low, I fatigued quickly, and had low immunity. Doctors readily prescribed antibiotics for whatever ailed me.

I developed urge incontinence and debilitating chronic pelvic floor pain in my 30s and was plagued by lethargy and generalized aches and pains. In my long, extensive search for answers, I discovered a board-certified naturopathic doctor who proposed Nutrition Response Testing®. Unfamiliar with Nutrition Response Testing, I quickly learned about its noninvasive system of analyzing the body to determine underlying causes of illness and less-than-optimal health. I started following the Nutrition Response Testing program in November 2015 and achieved powerful results, as indicated by dramatic improvements to my health and dramatically decreased pain – improvements that remain strong today. Nutrition Response Testing was an absolute godsend and dramatically changed the course of my life for the better.

How Nutrition Response Testing Helped Me

I was so impressed with my own results and health improvements, there was no doubt I could share the incredible benefits with others. I couldn’t learn Nutrition Response Testing fast enough! My education and training have been extensive, including completing the formal training program and graduating at the highest level. I am proud to be a Clinical Master and, as a result, have the full education, tools, and skills to handle the toughest, most difficult health issues – and do so safely, effectively, and naturally – using the most powerful system of healing I believes exists.

Because my healing and improvements are ongoing, I remain committed to my own Nutrition Response Testing program – a commitment that has totally paid off! Even today, I continue to see improvements, prevent acute and chronic illness and disease, manage stress, and maintain optimal health.

Since starting the program, I have experienced the following:

• Marked increase in energy – to get through the day without feeling fatigued and exhausted from just climbing stairs

• Generalized achiness eliminated

• 18-pound weight loss

• Improved immunity – to stay healthy all year long

• Dramatically improved pelvic pain/inflammation – no more debilitating flare-ups

• Hemorrhoids healed and resolved

• Urge incontinence gone

• Improved digestion/elimination of stomach pain

• Premenstrual/menstrual symptoms stopped – no more mood swings or cramps

• Perimenopausal symptoms eliminated – no more hot flashes or memory issue

• Improved breast health as shown on periodic thermogram results

• Optimal VO₂ score on recent Active Metabolic Assessment/stress test. (Optimal VO₂ / “Volume of Oxygen” correlates with a low risk of cardiovascular disease and is the standard measure of cardiovascular fitness potential.)

• Prescription/pharmaceutical drug use eliminated

I am passionate about, confident in, and proof of, the healing powers of Nutrition Response Testing. Constantly in learning mode and committed to the highest standards of care, I am currently studying for a Master of Science degree in Human Clinical Nutrition and Integrative Health. People of all ages - women, men, and children alike - benefit from my testing, counseling, and support. I offer telehealth appointments to people all over the United States. In my office near Philadelphia, I see clients for Nutrition Response Testing and have offered informational presentations on a wide variety of health-related topics.

When not in my office or studying nutritional healing practices, I play the piano professionally, ballroom dance, practice yoga, and swim. I share my life with my devoted husband, Dr. Joel Clyman, who shares my passions for many things, including music, the piano, and achieving optimal health through nutrition, physical fitness, and yoga.
