Our Methodology for Recommendations

Based on an individual’s specific responses to our online health assessment, we make specific lifestyle and nutritional recommendations that are beneficial to health based on scientific, evidence-based studies. More than 5,000 concise Nutri-logic rules, based on peer reviewed science and extensive clinical feedback lie behind our unique assessment. Each rule serves to "turn on" or "turn off" specific lifestyle feedback and nutrients in precise doses, at the best time of day and in the ideal combinations of synergistic (supportive) nutrients. Our "interactive" medical intelligence software has been carefully developed using a combined 70+ years of research and clinical experience of leading naturopathic, chiropractic, medical and integrative healthcare specialists, pharmacists, nutritionists and a Harvard based science team.

We also grade all of our recommendations using a 5-star system, depending on the level of evidence base behind each recommendation and how they relate to the individual. In addition, we recommend the closest formulations and dosages available, compared to those used in the referenced studies. (We can even show health practitioner and patient the references behind each recommendation).

The next step is for you, the health practitioner to review the patient’s assessment responses for accuracy and thoroughness with respect to their medical conditions and any medications. This is done online, using our assessment summary pages (which affords you remarkable time savings). These can also be printed out for review off-line and/or for hard copies in patient files). Once you have confirmed their accuracy and made any further inquiries to the patient necessary, you make any additional notes and assessment updates/additions warranted based on your understanding of the patient and your clinical experience.

Then you, or the qualified nutritional consultant that Health Coach^® has assigned to work with you, finalizes the patient nutritional recommendations and an email is sent to the patient, linking them to their results for review and approval. This is where they will find their full lifestyle and nutrition report.

Upon their review and approval of a nutrition order, as applicable, orders are forwarded to NutriScan’s custom production facilities for fulfillment.

Our health practitioner training includes the information and resources to equip you to provide further support regarding synergistic lifestyle changes. Until advances in our online programming come into effect, this typically will mean referring patients to specific sections of the reference manual “Body by Design, Health by Choice”. The leading edge insights it contains (although very rigorous and thorough in nature) have led many to more effectively understand the real opportunity better choices hold for them and subsequently make important shifts in their Sleep, Exercise, Dietary and Stress Management choices.

Using this manual properly, as the backbone of your patient nutrition and lifestyle education programs, will save you consultation time while markedly improving patient outcomes and further differentiating you as a uniquely effective health resource in your community.
