Exploring the Differences:
Qest 4 Energetic Testing vs Functional Nutrition Laboratory Testing
Energetic Testing vs Functional Nutrition Laboratory Testing? Is one ‘better than the other’? In all of my years of clinical experience, I have found that one is not better than the other, but using both together have given my clients the best outcomes. Let me explain why that is.
In the realm of holistic health and wellness, individuals often seek personalised approaches to understand and optimise their well-being. Two methodologies I use as a Nutritional Therapist & Naturopath are Qest 4 Energetic Testing and Functional Nutrition Laboratory Testing. While the goal of both is the same – to gain specific insight to improve client outcomes – they employ different approaches to achieve this goal.
In our practice, we use both as a way to understand both the root causes and intricacies of one’s health. Integrating both Qest 4 energetic testing and evidence-based approaches in nutrition offers a comprehensive and nuanced and totally unique understanding of an individual’s health. By combining these methodologies, we can tailor our recommendations more precisely, addressing both the energetic and physiological aspects of health. This integrated approach empowers us to create highly personalised wellness plans that resonate with an individual’s unique biochemistry, improving overall health and vitality in a holistic and meaningful manner.
In this blog post, we’ll explore and compare Qest 4 Energetic Testing and Functional Nutrition Laboratory Testing to help you understand their differences and potential benefits.
Qest 4 Energetic Testing
Qest 4 Energetic Testing is a non-invasive, holistic approach that focusses on assessing the body’s bioenergetic field. The technology was invented by Dr Voll in Germany, who was a medical doctor, an engineer and he based this off of of Acupuncture. Acupuncture is based on the principle that the body’s energy and meridian systems play a crucial role in maintaining health and balance. The energetic testing is a ‘challenge and response’ test mechanism, meaning that it is getting a set of reactions to informational signals presented to the body-mind system (we can never split them out totally), at a fairly high level of detail and we make our clinical judgments supported by those responses.
To understand this concept more, we know that everything in the world has a frequency or vibration – thoughts, feelings, food, vitamins, minerals, herbs, everything. The Qest 4 System contains a very large digital database of these frequencies / vibrations and your body-mind is then compared to all of these. When the body’s systems and organs are out of balance, the Qest 4 machine will pick up the imbalances and work out which frequencies will balance you, and these will be imprinted in either patches or drops for you to take.
How Qest 4 Works
1. Device Utilisation
The Qest 4 device measures the body’s electrical responses by detecting subtle changes in skin resistance associated with specific frequencies.
2. Information Gathering
It collects data related to various aspects of health, including organs, systems, toxins, pathogens, nutritional status, emotional well-being, and more.
3. Analysis and Results
The gathered information is analysed to identify areas of imbalance or stress within the body’s energy field. Practitioners then create a personalized wellness plan to restore balance and optimise health.
Benefits of Qest 4 Energetic Testing
1. Non-Evasive
Qest 4 testing is painless, non-invasive, and free from exposure to radiation or chemicals.
2. Comprehensive Analysis
It provides a comprehensive analysis of various aspects of health, enabling a holistic approach to wellness.
3. Customised Protocols
Qest 4 is a completely individual response, allowing practitioners to tailor remedies and recommendations based on individual energetic imbalances.
4. Additional information at no extra cost
Results are obtained instantly, reactions to thousands of items can be scanned in minutes using an advanced Qest4 energetic testing system. There is no additional cost to running more detailed scans, apart from a few more minutes of your time.
5. Live dialogue between client and practitioner
Energetic testing often is a live dialogue that brings engagement to the consultation and delivers new avenues of enquiry. Important information and questioning that wouldn’t normally come up in a consultation can do so and help the client along on their healthy journey.
Functional Nutrition Lab Testing
Functional Nutrition Laboratory Testing involves analysing biological samples (blood, saliva, urine, etc.) to assess specific biomarkers and identify potential deficiencies, imbalances, or abnormalities within the body. This approach focuses on identifying underlying physiological and biochemical issues that may be contributing to health challenges.
How Functional Nutrition Lab Testing Works
1. Sample Collection
Most of the private laboratories we use provide DIY kits where you can take your own sample in the comfort of your home, and post the specimen directly back to the laboratory yourself.
2. Lab Analysis
The collected samples are sent to a specialised laboratory for analysis, which provides detailed data on various biomarkers.
3. Interpretation and Recommendations
Once we receive and interpret the lab results, we meet where we go through the results and what they mean, and use them to develop personalized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations for you.
Benefits of Functional Nutrition Lab Testing
1. Precise Data
It offers precise data on specific biomarkers, allowing targeted interventions to address health concerns.
2. Evidence-Based Approach
The testing is rooted in evidence-based medicine, providing a scientific foundation for health recommendations.
3. Targeted Interventions
Results guide personalised nutritional and lifestyle interventions to address specific deficiencies or imbalances.
Why I use Both Evidence-Based & Energetic-Based Approaches
A Totally Unique Understanding of Your Health
Integrating both Qest 4 energetic testing and evidence-based approaches in nutrition offers a comprehensive and nuanced and totally unique understanding of an individual’s health. Energetic testing provides valuable insights into the body’s energetic state, allowing us to identify subtle imbalances and areas of concern that may not be apparent through traditional laboratory testing. This holistic approach considers the body’s energetic flow and meridian systems, complementing the detailed data provided by evidence-based functional nutrition lab testing.
By combining these methodologies, we can tailor our recommendations more precisely, addressing both the energetic and physiological aspects of health. This integrated approach empowers us to create highly personalised wellness plans that resonate with an individual’s unique biochemistry, improving overall health and vitality in a holistic and meaningful manner.
