Our Nutrition Services

ZYTO Balance Nutrition Scan

Personalized Wellness Insight – $50

Often, what feels like anxiety or depression can be exacerbated by nutritional deficiencies or physical imbalances. By using ZYTO, we can support your "hardware" (your body) while we work on your "software" (your mind and emotions) in therapy. We want to bridge the gap between your physical health and emotional well-being by providing a data-driven look at your body’s unique nutritional needs.

Using a bio-communication hand cradle, the scan evaluates how your body responds to hundreds of virtual stimuli. The software sends digital signatures (representing foods, vitamins, or stressors) to your body and tracks how your nervous system responds- helping to identify nutritional needs, stressors, and imbalances across multiple systems of the body.

How It Supports Your Healing

Trauma and chronic stress often deplete the body of essential nutrients, leaving you feeling fatigued, foggy, or physically "run down." The ZYTO Balance scan helps us identify:

Biological Coherence: We can see which specific supplements, essential oils, or foods your body responds to most positively and negatively. This removes the "guessing game" of wandering down the supplement aisle.
System Balancers: The report identifies which of your body's systems are currently under the most stress and which "balancers" can help bring them back into range.
Food Sensitivities & Preferences: It provides a "Foods for Wellness" report, highlighting which foods are currently most compatible with your body’s chemistry and which may be acting as stressors.

What’s Included in Your $50 Scan

A 10–15 minute scan
A detailed, item-by-item consultation to review your scan findings with our dedicated office coordinator, with a background in biology and neurobiology.
A personalized wellness report identifying stressors within your detoxification system, gastrointestinal system, hormonal/endocrine system, immune system, inflammation, hydration, mental/emotional stress, sleep, toxic stress, and more.
Following the initial review of that scan, it will be passed along to our owner, Lorie Ausel, who brings over 20 years of experience in nutrition, holistic health, and wellness support.
Professional-grade supplement support and recommendations from reputable brands, including Standard Process and Medi-Herb.

Key Benefits

Non-Invasive: No needles or blood draws; just a comfortable hand rest.
Personalized: Your body is unique. This scan provides a blueprint tailored specifically to you, not a "one-size-fits-all" plan.
Efficiency: A full scan takes only minutes but provides a comprehensive report that we can review together immediately. It can be done while you wait to start your therapy session.
Track Progress: We can compare prior and current reports to see where more support is needed and how your body is reacting to changes made.

CEDSA Nutritional Testing

CEDSA (Computerized Electrodermal Stress Analysis) is a non-invasive testing method used to assess the body's stress levels and nutritional imbalances.

CEDSA can identify areas of stress or dysfunction, as well as pinpoint nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities, and potential imbalances in the body.

This information helps practitioners recommend targeted nutritional strategies, supplements, and lifestyle adjustments to restore balance and promote overall health. The process is safe, painless, and provides insights into the body’s energetic and nutritional needs.

Supplements, Homeopathics, and Flower Essences

We provide products from Standard Process, Standard Enzyme, Deseret Biologicals, and more. These products are ordered by licensed health care professionals and taken with guidance from a health care professional.

Supplements and homeopathics are recommended based on ZYTO Balance scans, CEDSA testing, and/or completion of nutrition questionnaires, where health concerns can be reported and recorded to determine which systems are in need of support.

EUROMED Bio-Laser

Revitalize and Repair with EUROMED Bio-Laser Therapy - Price Variable

The EUROMED Low-Level Bio-Laser is a versatile, non-invasive solution designed to accelerate your body’s natural recovery process. By targeting the source of physical distress, this advanced technology is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including:

Rapid Wound Healing: Stimulates and speeds up the closure of cuts, surgical incisions, wounds, and burns.
Systemic Anti-Inflammatory: Reduces the chemical markers that cause swelling and redness, providing relief for both acute injuries and chronic conditions like arthritis.
Tissue Regeneration: Beyond just "fixing" a wound, it induces deep tissue repair that may help restore the integrity of muscles, tendons, and even nerve fibers.

Whether you are recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or seeking to heal a recent injury, Bio-Laser therapy offers a safe, painless, and drug-free service that aims to address issues at the source.

How Does It Work?

The EUROMED bio-laser (and the principle of photobiomodulation) is a powerful tool against inflammation and injury. It operates on a sophisticated intersection of quantum physics and cellular biology, as it applies the principles of two sets of Nobel Prize-winning research by Niels Finsen and C.V. Raman to metabolically shift tissue from a stressed state to a healing state.

Here is how that complex physics translates into the healing power of your bio-laser:

Finsen proved that specific, concentrated wavelengths of light could trigger profound healing in human tissue and treat chronic diseases that were previously thought incurable.
C.V. Raman proved that light passed through a substance takes on a unique light signature, or a molecular fingerprint. By using these molecular fingerprints, the laser sends the exact "vibrational code" of healthy tissue back into the body. This resonance helps the damaged cells, triggering the healing of wounds and the reduction of inflammation at the source.
Modern bio-lasers like the EUROMED system have evolved this 100-year-old discovery into the digital age, and have programmed tens of thousands of molecular fingerprints into the laser’s light pattern to find the correct code to treat the source of your pain.

Ion Cleanse / Foot Bath

Purifies the body through the electrolysis of the water and is great for men, women, and children. Relax with your feet in water for about 30 minutes. Healthy individuals can expect to feel lighter and experience a greater sense of well-being from each session. Results have been reported of reduced pain, reduced inflammation, improved liver, kidney, and colon function, as well as improved sleeping and faster recovery times. Individual experience may vary.
