Certified NRT · Connecticut
Your body knows what
it needs to heal.
Nutrition Response Testing is a non-invasive assessment that reads your body’s neurological reflexes to look for the nutritional stress behind your symptoms — not just the symptoms themselves. What we find shapes a plan built around what your body is asking for.
Dr. Propper is a certified Nutrition Response Testing practitioner. If standard treatments haven’t given you answers, NRT may be the missing piece.
Understanding NRT
A detailed status report,
straight from your body.
NRT reads your body’s neurological reflexes — specific points that correspond to organ and system function.
Dr. Propper identifies nutritional deficiencies and organ stress that standard blood work often misses. Painless, takes minutes.
Then we build your supplement plan around what your body actually told us it needs.
Who NRT helps
Especially useful when
nothing else has worked.
NRT has helped patients with a wide range of chronic concerns — particularly the ones that other approaches haven’t been able to explain.
Chronic fatigue
Digestive issues (IBS, bloating, reflux)
Allergies & sensitivities
Weight management
Hormonal imbalances
Autoimmune conditions
Migraines & headachesSkin conditions (eczema, psoriasis)
The process
How Nutrition Response Testing
actually works.
Here’s what to expect when you come in for your NRT consultation.
Non-invasive assessment
Using your body's neurological reflexes, we identify specific nutritional deficiencies and organ stress.
Personalized supplement plan
Based on your results, we build a targeted plan using Standard Process whole-food supplements.
Follow-up & tracking
Regular check-ins make sure your body is responding and the plan evolves as you improve.
NRT vs. functional medicine
Both look for the root cause.
Here’s how they differ.
Functional medicine relies on extensive lab panels — thorough, but expensive, slow, and often inconclusive for chronic conditions.
NRT reads your body directly. In-office, results in minutes, no waiting weeks for bloodwork.
We believe your body is the best lab.
NRT patient stories
“My daughter had chronic headaches that her pediatrician couldn't explain. NRT showed she had specific nutritional deficiencies. Three months later, she's headache-free. Dr. Jenn is amazing with kids.”

NRT questions
What patients wonder
before their first visit.
How long does an NRT session take?
An initial NRT session typically takes 45–60 minutes. Follow-up sessions are usually 20–30 minutes.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients begin to notice changes within 4–6 weeks. Your plan is individualized — some conditions resolve quickly, others require longer support.
Do you sell supplements?
Yes. We carry Standard Process whole-food supplements, which are professional-grade and only available through healthcare practitioners. These are not the same as store-bought vitamins.
Is NRT covered by insurance?
NRT itself is typically not covered by insurance. However, the chiropractic examination that accompanies it often is. Call (203) 226-1047 to discuss your options.
Can children do NRT?
Yes. NRT is non-invasive and gentle, and we use it with children as well as adults. Many parents bring their kids in for nutritional support. Dr. Propper will talk through what to expect before anything begins.
What's the difference between NRT and applied kinesiology?
While both use muscle testing principles, NRT is a specific clinical system focused on identifying nutritional deficiencies and designing targeted supplement protocols. It's more structured and nutrition-focused than general applied kinesiology.
Do I have to stop the supplements I'm already taking?
Not automatically. Bring everything you're currently taking to your first visit — including anything prescribed by another provider — and we'll look at it together. The goal is a plan you can actually follow, not a longer shelf of bottles.
How soon will I notice a difference?
Most patients notice something within the first few weeks, though it varies with how long the issue has been building. We re-test as we go, so you're not left guessing whether the plan is working.
Can I do this remotely, or do I have to come in?
Both work. Nutrition Response Testing is offered in person and by telehealth to patients throughout Connecticut, so you don't need to live nearby to start.
Do I need to already be a chiropractic patient?
No. Plenty of people come in for Nutrition Response Testing alone. Others combine it with regular adjustments, which is easy to arrange if you decide you want both.
