At Advanced Health, our Designed Clinical Nutrition program helps uncover the real reasons you’re not feeling your best — and gives your body the tools it needs to heal naturally. This is not a one-size-fits-all supplement routine. You’ll work one-on-one with Dr. Jerod Bergman, who will personally evaluate your health, create a customized supplement plan, and answer all of your questions along the way.

Dr. Bergman’s Expertise
Dr. Bergman holds a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology and a Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine. He’s also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, a Certified Speed, Quickness, and Agility Trainer, a Nutrition Response Testing Practitioner, and is certified in Nutritional Counseling. Over the years, he’s worked with professional athletes before and after surgery, designing targeted programs to speed recovery and improve performance — experience that translates into exceptional, results-driven care for every patient.

How It Works

1. Pinpoint the Cause
Using a gentle, non-invasive method called Nutrition Response Testing (a combination of autonomic nervous system and muscle response testing), Dr. Bergman can identify exactly which organs or systems are under stress and why. This process is precise, science-based, and often reveals imbalances that traditional tests miss.

2. Create Your Personalized Health Plan
Once the areas of weakness are identified, Dr. Bergman tests high-quality, whole-food-based supplements against your body’s specific needs. The result is a tailored supplement schedule designed to restore strength and function — not just cover up symptoms.

3. Support and Adjust Along the Way
Your program will be monitored at every follow-up visit. As your body heals, additional layers of dysfunction may be uncovered, allowing Dr. Bergman to adjust your plan in the correct sequence — much like unlocking a combination lock one number at a time.

What Is Muscle Testing/Nutrition Response Testing?

Nutrition Response Testing (NRTesting) is a noninvasive way of determining underlying causes of poor health and disease. This clinically proven system differs from other methods of diagnosing and healing. It is simple and direct, the body, itself, providing information to the Nutritional Response Testing Practitioner by responding reliably, consistently, and precisely to reflex tests. This feedback opens the door to safe and lasting recovery, often in cases where other approaches have failed.

What do we test?

We test the body's neurological reflexes. The central nervous system regulates the function of every organ and bodily function. Organs, glands, joints, and muscles are tested on the surface of the body, and the findings are analyzed, and shared with the patient.

How is this "reflex" information obtained?

The “energy flows” that exist between all parts and organs of the body can easily become disrupted. Through NRTesting, the practitioner can pinpoint these disturbances by contacting the patient's extended arm with one hand and the specific reflex area with the other hand. If the tested area of the body is under stress, the central nervous system responds by reducing the amount of energy to the extended arm, causing it to weaken and drop. This signals the existence of an underlying dysfunction. Diagnosis is immediate and often more accurate than conventional methods that rely on expensive machines, drugs, surgery, needles, and laboratory procedures.

What is the treatment?

An individualized nutritional program that includes diet changes and appropriate natural nutrient supplementation is prescribed.

How quickly is improvement realized?

After healing has occurred, the muscle response in the extended arm will be strong. Although every case is different, we often find improved response in muscle testing along with enthusiastic reports of improved health in as little as 4 to 6 weeks. Chronic health problems develop over time as a result of environmental influences and improper diet, which cause nutritional deficiencies and imbalances. The combination of these factors compromises health and wellness. The sooner, and more thoroughly, a patient implements the personally prescribed nutritional program, the sooner results are realized.

Is NRTesting for everyone?

The first step is to determine whether, or not, a patient is a candidate for NRTesting. If not, it is unlikely that the method will be of much benefit; if, so, it may be the quickest and most effective path back to health.

We monitor patient progress and make adjustments to the program as needed. If, during healing, secondary health issues appear, they, too, are addressed and corrected.

Perhaps you, or someone you know, could benefit from NRTesting.  We are excited for you to begin this journey back to energy and wellness.
