SP Podcast #8
What is muscle testing and is it bogus?
- A very effective assessment method used by practitioners to get a more complete picture of the imbalances present in clients/patients.
- Simple way of communicating with the body
- Assess the nervous system and apply challenges selectively to find answers to questions that are pertinent to a persons wellness state.
- Many systems and applications
- Often mis understood- poorly explained, and communicated to the client/patient- resulting in mis trust in the method/practitioner.
What kinds of things can be assessed using muscle testing?
- Systemic imbalances and priority
- Food sensitivities
- Which nutrients ones body needs right now (layer concept)
- Which muscles/tissues are imbalanced- course of treatment
How to tell if your liver is congested-
- not pooping 1x each meal, feel sluggish,
- weight gain, belly fat,
- diet high in carbs,
- get bad tummy aches after eating, gall bladder attacks copious amounts of foul gas after eating carbs, fat.

How to tell if you are at risk for stroke?
- Look at fingernails, look for deep pink profusion,
- cold hands and feet,
- visible blood vessels –
- colored, near surface, numbness in legs, feet, or toes
How can you resolve IT band syndrome?
- Foam/rumble roller
- Myofascial work like Structural Integration
- Combination of rolling/repatterning exercises/Structural Integration What are the causes?
- First understand the tensional relationships in the leg/hip compartment
- Running form/shoe type can exacerbate structural imbalances
- Weak abductors (in context)
- Leg morphology can help predict – change the morphology Form/function- interventions?
Is there a Cure for dandruff? What causes dandruff?
- Dandruff- dry skin, seborrhoeic dermatitis, not cleaning/scrubbing often enough, shampooing too often, psoriasis, eczema, sensitivity to hair care products, or a yeast-like fungus.[6] Dry skin is the most common cause of flaking dandruff.[6]
- What is “dry skin?” and why does it flake?
- Shampoos work temporarily because they address the symptom- need to be used constantly because of poor diet (lacking in proper fats, etc) or immune response driven by gut damage caused by eating foods that you have a sensitivity/intolerance to, constant inflammation, antibiotic use, and or imbalanced gut biome.
- Gut repair protocol (ask me about that), proper diet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dandruff
