Lingual Neural Testing
Lingual Neural Testing (LNT) is a gentle technique I use to help identify areas of stress or imbalance in the body by working directly with the nervous system.
It is non-invasive, brief, and used to help prioritize support — especially when it’s unclear where to begin.
What Is Lingual Neural Testing?
Lingual Neural Testing involves gently touching specific points on the body that correspond to organs and systems throughout the body. These points stimulate cranial nerves, which send signals directly to the nervous system.
By observing changes in muscle response while stimulating these points, LNT provides insight into which systems may need support first.
Common areas assessed include:
-
Digestive system
-
Adrenal and stress response
-
Thyroid function
-
Blood sugar regulation
-
Detox and drainage pathways
Why I Use Lingual Neural Testing
The body often gives clear signals about where support is needed — we just need the right tools to listen.
Lingual Neural Testing helps:
-
Identify healing priorities
-
Prevent overwhelm by addressing one system at a time
-
Guide targeted nutritional support
-
Create a clear starting point when symptoms are complex
This makes the healing process more focused and manageable.
What a Session Looks Like
Lingual neural testing is often used alongside muscle testing and includes:
-
Reviewing your symptoms and goals
-
Gently stimulating specific points on the body
-
Observing nervous system responses
-
Discussing findings and next steps
Testing is always done with your comfort, consent, and understanding.
Common Questions
Is lingual neural testing painful?
No. It is gentle and brief.
Do I have to believe in it for it to work?
No. Responses are based on nervous system signaling, not belief.
Can LNT diagnose conditions?
No. It is not diagnostic and does not replace medical care.
Will results change over time?
Yes. As the body heals, testing results often shift.
How This Fits Into My Practice
Lingual neural testing is used alongside:
-
Foundational whole-food nutrition
-
Symptom assessment
-
Lifestyle and stress support
-
Functional tools such as HTMA (when appropriate)
It helps guide decisions — not dictate them — so care remains individualized and grounded.
Important Note
Lingual neural testing is an educational tool used to guide nutritional support. It is not diagnostic and does not replace medical evaluation or treatment.
