A non-invasive assessment tool used alongside nutrition coaching and functional blood analysis.
Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a system that uses manual muscle testing as a feedback mechanism to help evaluate aspects of the body’s structural, chemical, and neurological function. It was developed in the 1960s by chiropractor Dr. George Goodheart and is taught through the International College of Applied Kinesiology (ICAK).
In practice, a practitioner gently tests the relative strength or weakness of specific muscles. Changes in muscle response are used as one piece of information—alongside health history, symptoms, and laboratory findings—to help identify possible stressors, imbalances, or areas that may benefit from support.
