During your consultation, I will integrate my nutritional knowledge and experience with BioSET and EFT to find your underlying nutritional imbalances, food and environmental sensitivities and dietary deficiencies. Then I will design your unique plan for achieving optimum health. As early as your first appointment, you will gain valuable information and suggested options for enhanced well-being.

Listed below is information on how to prepare for our first Nutritional and BioSET Consultations, as well as a description of what to expect during both types of visits. Downloadable pdfs are also available: see left. If you have additional questions before your first visit, feel free to contact me at 415.488.0901 or at vivian@kushnerhealth.com.

Your Initial BioSET Consultation
Your first visit will be a 1½ hour evaluation (1 hour for children). After reviewing your New Client Form and answering any questions you may have, we will proceed with the following evaluations:
1. Fasting Enzyme Evaluation: Determines stressed areas in the body. After this test, you will eat the protein, fat, carbohydrate and fiber snack you brought. We will continue testing for 30 minutes while your food is digesting.
2. Toxicity Evaluation: Identifies toxicity, inflammation, stagnation, depletion and emotions, and also tests for the organs affected. Our goal is to find a homeopathic remedy to help these areas of stress.
3. Food Evaluation: Identifies your food sensitivities.
4. Non-Fasting Enzyme Evaluation: Determines food groups you have difficulty digesting and the digestive enzymes that will most benefit you
5. Evaluation of Foods with a Digestive Enzyme: Evaluates, with the aid of a digestive enzyme, your ability to break down foods you were sensitive to.
6. Review: A summary of your recommended diet, enzymes and homeopathics.
7. Level Two: After explaining BioSET and Level Two clearings, we will evaluate your body for needed Level Two clearings. Click here for more information about BioSET
