Did you ever stand in front of a shelf full of food supplements and wonder, which of these do I actually need?
Most of us just guess. We try this, we try that, we read about what worked for somebody else, and then we find out, after spending a lot of money, that it didn’t work for us. Now here’s the thing. You’ve got a supercomputer sitting on top of your shoulders that already knows exactly what your body needs. You just haven’t learned how to access that information yet. I’ve taught thousands of people to do this, it’s simple and easy, and it is an absolute game changer.
Why guessing doesn’t work
Nearly all the health advice we get is written for an average person, but Mr. Average Person doesn’t exist. Your body is made up of around seventy trillion living cells, and you are unique in every way. So what suits your neighbour, or the author of the book, may be exactly right for them, but that doesn’t mean it’s right for you. That’s why there’s no such thing as a cure-all. You absolutely have to test whether something is right for you, and that’s what energy kinesiology empowers you to do.
My own story is a reflection of this. I never felt well. Migraine, bronchitis, sinusitis, and a terrible lethargy that just wouldn’t go away. Modern medicine is wonderful in an emergency, but for my long-term problems it simply didn’t work, because you have to treat the cause, not the effect. For me the cause turned out to be a food sensitivity nobody had spotted, and when I eliminated that food, my health was revolutionised. What changed everything was finding out that the body has a way of telling you what it needs and what it doesn’t.
How to ask your body a question
What if you could ask your own body a question and get an immediate answer? It’s not nearly as mysterious as it sounds.
Those seventy trillion cells didn’t fall together by chance. Something put them together, and something is running them right now. Your heart’s beating, you’re breathing, your body’s digesting your food, and you’re not doing any of it consciously. It’s all automatic. I call that part of you your supercomputer, and it lives in what we’d call the subconscious and unconscious mind. It’s running billions of programs every second, and it knows exactly what’s working in your body and what isn’t. The only thing is, it has no way of telling you, unless you know how to ask.
That’s where muscle monitoring (muscle testing) comes in. Basically, you use a muscle as an indicator. You ask a simple question, the muscle gives you a clear yes or no response, and that’s your body answering. You don’t need expensive equipment, you don’t need a degree, and even children can learn it.
Think back fifty years. If I’d told you then that you’d be carrying a phone in your pocket that could talk to anybody on the other side of the world instantly, you’d have thought I was mad. This is the same. The information has always been there. We now simply have a remarkable new way of accessing it.
So what sort of information am I talking about? You can find out which foods agree with you and which don’t, in seconds, before you ever eat them. You can find out what your body needs and what it doesn’t. And very often you can find out what’s behind a problem you’ve been struggling with for years, whether that’s something you’re eating or something that happened a long time ago and never got resolved. Once you know the cause, you can deal with it, rather than just covering over the symptoms.
Food
There’s an old saying, one man’s meat is another man’s poison, and it’s absolutely true. There is no one food that’s good for everyone, and it’s not always about the food itself either. In my own case I had a very severe sensitivity to dairy. Avoiding it had a radical effect on my health, but it took a few years of dealing with the emotional traumas behind it before I could eat most dairy again without a problem. Your body knows where the line is between the foods that harm you and the foods that heal you, and when you know how to ask, you can find out in seconds. Not weeks of elimination diets, not expensive tests. Seconds.
Supplements
Would you buy a pair of shoes without trying them on? Of course not, so why do we do it with supplements? My wife Carol and I ran a health food chain for over twenty-five years, and I can tell you there’s no shortage of good products. What’s missing is the link between the product and the person. When you can ask your body, you might find you need one thing and not the other nine, and that can save you a small fortune. One important thing: if you’re on medication from your doctor, don’t just stop it because of something you find out. Work alongside the people looking after you.
Emotions
I once worked with a lady who was terrified of flying, so much so that as soon as the plane touched down she’d be running up the aisle trying to get out. She took Valium to get through it, but that was only covering the effect. We spent about an hour clearing the underlying stress, and after her next flight she told me it was a piece of cake. She didn’t lose the memory. She lost the fear that was attached to it. Your body stores every experience along with the feeling that went with it, and an old program can keep running for years until you find it and let it go.
Rest
Do you wake up already tired? Think about your phone on a dodgy charger. It can sit there all night and still be on thirty per cent in the morning. It’s not only how many hours you sleep, it’s whether those hours are doing the job. Your body knows what’s getting in the way of you recharging, whether that’s something you ate late in the evening or something that’s worrying you. I lived with that terrible lethargy for years, and I don’t have that problem anymore.
Your first week
So where do you start? Here’s what I’d suggest, and I’ll keep it simple, because it is simple.
First, don’t try to change everything at once. Pick one thing, and I’d pick food. You eat three times a day, so you’ve got plenty of chances to practise, and it’s where people tend to notice a difference quite quickly. Think about the one food you’ve half-suspected for a while, the one you eat and then think, hmm, I don’t feel great after that. Start there.
Second, learn the basic skill. The free beginners’ course shows you how to test foods quickly and easily in your own home. Children as young as ten can do it, so I have no doubt that you can.
When you’re ready for the next step, that’s where the Learning Muscle Monitoring course comes in. It teaches you how to monitor a muscle properly, there’s a checklist so you get it right every time, and there’s even a lesson on what to do if it doesn’t seem to work the first time, because sometimes it doesn’t, and that’s completely normal. It’s a skill, and the more you practise the better you get. And here’s something that takes the pressure off: you don’t have to remember everything. It’s all written down. You just need to know where to find what you’re looking for.
Learning Muscle Monitoring is the foundation of a three-part programme. After that comes finding out where the problem is hiding, and then how to fix it once you know where it is. It’s all online, so you go at your own pace, and when you join you also get access to our WhatsApp group, so you’re not alone on the journey.
You’re in the driving seat
Food, supplements, emotions, rest. The thread running through all of it is the same: your body already knows. You just haven’t learned how to ask it yet, and that’s the missing link. I’ve been teaching this for over forty-five years, and the thing that still gives me the greatest pleasure is the moment somebody realises they don’t have to depend on guesswork anymore. That’s what I want for you.
Start with the Learning Muscle Monitoring course — step by step, short videos, and anyone can do it.
God bless,
