Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck: NRT Muscle Testing
09/27/24 • 35 min
We’re going deep, today. Even many of us practitioners have trouble conceptualizing DNA and the interconnectivity of all the components of our bodies. Additionally, how we intercept and feel other people and their energy remains a mystery to some...
But, we are all energy beings. When you walk into a room, you can feel it. Our bodies want to remain in a state of healing and frequently when something is in the way of that healing we feel sick; it’s our body communicating that something needs attention. Today, I had the privilege of talking to one of my students from Northeast College of Health Sciences about her work in Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) muscle testing.
Muscle testing is a form of applied kinesiology. It’s a way to communicate with the Automatic nervous system and the subconscious mind.
I get asked this almost daily in my practice: what’s the best way to track menstrual cycles? Sarah explains how the methodology helps us all get back to recognizing what we’re feeling and staying in tune with our bodies. What’s super interesting is that she’s also recognized when those going through perimenopause or menopause show higher levels of cholesterol in their labs due to the body being out of sync with changes in hormone levels. I enjoyed Sarah’s thoughts on hormonal health and getting back to the cyclical nature of women’s cycles like the cyclical nature of our earth and its seasons.

Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck: Biological Dentistry
I grew up being taught that my family has bad teeth (root canals, missing teeth). But through my education and training, I know that 80% of our health is lifestyle + environment and 20% is genetics. So, I don’t necessarily subscribe to the belief that we just have bad teeth...
Did you know that traditional fillings contain 50% mercury, silver, tin, and copper... The WHO has mercury on the list of toxic metals. Rather than affecting the nervous system, there are other safer materials we can use.
But not a lot of dentists know about this biological approach...
Dr. Suringer Arora is a certified biological dentist. She holds a master’s in public and mental health and eventually found purpose in learning and offering a holistic approach to her patients. She’s also a certified health coach and has holistic training in the art of reiki among other spiritual healings. Her passion is to help people heal themselves along their health journeys.
In this episode, we even talked about the impact of jaw formation due to the nutrient-deficient soils and foods we have today. Dr. Arora recommends maintaining healthy levels or supplementation of Calcium, K2, vitamin D3, vitamin C, probiotics, and phosphorous in our diets for optimum oral health. I loved hearing about the upcoming summit she's a part of in Singapore. She's certainly helping with the holistic health movement in Asia!
