A clear path to optimum health.

The Initial Examination

A full hour with Dr. Sheppard. Heart-rate variability testing reads your autonomic nervous system; body-composition analysis measures cell health, lean mass, and body fat; a complete neurological exam checks brain function, cranial nerves, and left-right communication; and muscle response testing plus electrodermal screening map sensitivities and stressed systems.

Painless, non-invasive, safe for all ages, and compatible with any medications — just keep Dr. Sheppard informed so she can partner with your other care.

Nutrient Absorption: NAET

You can eat well and still be starving at the cellular level. NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique) blends Chinese medicine, chiropractic, kinesiology, and nutrition to identify foods and substances your nervous system treats as threats — then retrains that response so you can absorb and use nutrients normally. Sensitivities are cleared one at a time in a proven sequence, starting with essential nutrients.

What treatment looks like

Gentle acupressure along the spine while the identified substance is present, followed by specific pressure-point work and cold laser. Afterward you avoid the substance for 25 hours, then we re-test. Mild sensitivities often clear in one session. You'll get written guidance for every substance treated — and we'll teach you basic self-testing you can use anywhere, including the grocery store.

Phenolics

Natural compounds that color, flavor, and preserve foods — rutin and quercetin alone appear in over a hundred everyday foods — can quietly drive reactions in sensitive people. We test and clear the major phenolics, supported by digestive enzymes and essential fatty acids. During this phase, one to three sessions per week is optimal.

Detoxification

Heavy metals — mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium and others — enter through food, air, water, dental work, and everyday products, and they disrupt immune, neurological, and endocrine function. Common signs: fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, thyroid and adrenal strain, stubborn pain, frequent infections.

Dr. Sheppard uses gentle, individualized chelation and nutritional strategies that eliminate metals while protecting your mineral and antioxidant status — safe for children and adults.

Maintenance

Health you keep. Regular check-ups, detoxification at least once a year, foundational nutritional support (digestive enzymes, fish oil), and a diet that keeps your toxic load low. This is how function compounds into longevity.
