Many people claims that good health is their top priority. They eat healthy food ,exercise daily and see their doctor on a regular basis! Lamentably, in today's world, these good habits aren't enough to maintain optimal health! Vitamins and Minerals have a direct effect on both life span and quality of life and modern day food doesn't contain all the essential nutrients.

why you can't get all the nutrients you need from food alone!

The food you eat today is not the same food your great grandparents consumed many years ago. Today, the plants, and how we grow them, are very different. Likewise, the meat that’s produced today is very different. Both conventional farming and meat processing has dramatically changed the quality of food.

Here are other reasons:

Since we do not have a lot of control on the way the food is processed, the intake of good qualities vitamins and minerals is very important.Althought you need to have a healthy Gut to be able to absorp the intake of vitamins & Minerals.

What is Malabsorption?

Malabsorption is the condition in wich your body (small Intestine) is not able to absorb enough nutrients from the food you eat.

It could be caused by :

chronic stress negatively affects the body’s use of nutrients/Minerals!

Stress can have a number of physical effects on the body: it can cause the adrenal glands to be overworked, which can lead to Chronic Fatigue and it will be utilising plenty of vitamin C, slow down your digestive processes, increase inflammation,increase your blood sugar and the list continues.This is why it is important to know if you are not deficient in Vitamins & Minerals.So, you could avoid more problems down the road, because “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Are you Taking Medications?

"Drugs have an intended effect on the body, but in the process of helping you , they can sometimes put your body in a dangerous state by slowly depleting you of the very nutrients (Vitamins/Minerals) you need to maintain your health and help you heal."Drug Muggers ,Author Suzy Cohen, RPh.

There are many medications that can deplete you of your Vitamins & Minerals.Here are the top 10 medication classes that deplete nutrients.

#	Medications	Examples	Nutrient Depletion
1	PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitors), Antacids,Acid suppressing	Pantoprazole (Protonix),Esomeprazole (Nexium)Omeprazole (Prilosec)	All nutrients because these drugs alter the PH of your Gut.
2	Antibiotics	ALL	Complexe B Vitamin | Calcium| Magnesium| Iron| beneficial Bacteria
3	Antidepressant	Prozac,Paxil, Nortriptyline, Bupropion, Buspar .	vitamin B2| B6 | Iodine and CoQ10
4	Anti-psychotics.	Quetiapine, Clozapine, Abilify and Lithium.	CoQ10, Folic Acid,Inositol Vitamin D, Iron and vitamin B2.
5	Blood Pressure	enalipril, Lisinopril,Losortan	Calcium, CoQ10, Potassium,Sodium,vitamins B1,B6, C, Magnesium and Zinc
6	Cholesterol	Tricor,Zetia Lopid, statins:Lipidor	Most Minerals and Vitamins complex B
7	Diabetes	Metformin, sitaglipin	CoQ10, B12 and B9 (folic Acid)
8	NSAIDs	Ibuprofen (Motrin,Advil),Naproxen (Aleve)	Vitamin C, B9 and iron
9	Thyroid	Synthroid, Armour and Levothyroxine	Iron and Calcium
10	Oral Contraceptives	Progesterone, Estrogen, Norinylr®,Triphasil®	B9, Calcium, Magnesium,Vitamin B2,B3,B6,B12, C Zinc and Tyrosine(amino Acid)

The list is a small example of which vitamins and Minerals that could be depleted from taking medications! Even taking too many NSAIDs is depleting your good nutrients so, that would be important to have a regular routine checkup to know if there is a need to take vitamins/Minerals that have been depleted by your medications.

How Can Energy Kinesiology Help You?

The body's capacity to repair itself is greater than is normally believed, because people do not consider the energy aspect, balance is the key. Kinesiology helps (not cures) to rectifies imbalances before they become illness. So, in a session of Biochemical Kinesiology.I will use muscle testing and the RIDDLER'S Nutritional REFLEXES points to find out which Vitamins/Minerals are depleted and recommend some supplements that vibrates with your energy! I can also find if you have Heavy Metal.

What are the RIDDLER'S NUTRITIONAL REFLEXES POINTS?

Dr. Robert Riddler,DC discovered that there are points on the body that can be used to help determine supplement deficiencies or heavy metal toxicity. I use muscle testing and if for example I touch or you touch lightly on your right eyelid (For Vitamin A) and if the muscle that I'm testing becomes weak, it indicates a deficiency of Vitamin A. I then muscle test few (brands) of vitamins A to make sure that the muscle that was weak becomes strong again!

Common nutrients that I test in a session!

There are 13/14 essential vitamins (A, B, C, D, E, K, and 8 or 9 vitamins in the B complex) and many minerals the body requires for optimal health. You might not be aware but yes there is a B8 called inositol.It is not a vitamin at all but rather a type of sugar with several important functions.

Vitamins Chart!

#	Vitamins	Major Functions	Deficiency effects
1	A	Vision, Immunity, reproduction & growth	Blindness, Infections, Impaired Growth

16	K	also known as the clotting vitamin, is responsible for the circulation of calcium throughout the body,Reduces menstrual flow and pain, Protect immune system.	Bruises easily,significant bleeding, poor bone development, osteoporosis, and increased cardiovascular disease.

Minerals Chart!

Minerals are nutrients necessary to maintain the body's health. The 13 essential minerals include:

#	Minerals	Major Functions	Deficiency effects
1	Calcium	Calcium helps muscles contract and relax, so low levels can cause muscle cramps, aches, spasms, and stiffness, especially in the back and legs.	muscle spasms,numbness and tingling in the hands, feet, and face,depression,easy fracturing of the bones.
2	Chromium	Help keep blood sugar levels normal by improving the way the body uses insulin.	Hyperglycemia: Increased blood sugar levels,Peripheral neuropathy: Disorders of the nerves in the hands and feet.
3	Copper	Make red blood cells; Keep nerve cells healthy	anemia, low body temperature, bone fractures and osteoporosis, low white blood cell count, Thinning hair.
4	Iodine	Improve Thyroid Function	Swelling of thyroid glands in the neck, Weight gain, fatigue and weakness.
5	Iron	Without iron, our body cannot properly grow, develop, or produce red blood cells	Anemia
6	Magnesium	Magnesium is important for maintaining a healthy heartbeat,	When your magnesium levels are low, calcium may overstimulate your heart muscle cells. One common symptom of this is a rapid and/or irregular heartbeat, which may be life-threatening.
7	Manganese	Supports bone development, May be therapeutic for diabetes, Plays a role in brain health.	Can contribute to seizures, bone deformities, developmental delays, and disruptions to the menstrual cycle
8	Molybdenum	It helps detoxify many toxins and drugs, such as nicotine and alcohol .	Brain abnormalities, developmental delay, and an exaggerated startle reaction to unexpected stimuli.(RARE)

What are trace minerals? Found in both foods and supplements, and frequently referred to as micronutrients, trace minerals help support everything from immune system to cognitive development. Ther are 9 Trace Minerals your body needs : Chromium, Copper, Fluoride, Iodine, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum, Selenium and Zinc!

How Does A Session Looks Like?

Kinesiology works in a non-invasive modality! You remain fully clothed throughout the whole session, lying comfortably on a massage table. I will use muscle testing and the Riddlers' nutritional Reflexes to find out if you have any deficiencies in Vitamins , Minerals or trace Minerals.
