Personalized Nutrition
Our personalized nutrition programs combine clinical testing with holistic assessment to create customized dietary plans. Using Nutrition Response Testing and Follow The Physiology methodologies, we identify nutritional deficiencies and organ imbalances causing chronic symptoms. Patients receive tailored supplement regimens featuring whole-food formulations and dietary guidance through both in-person and virtual consultations.
Applied Kinesiology
This diagnostic technique evaluates muscular responses to identify structural, chemical, and emotional imbalances. Our practitioners use manual muscle testing to detect weakened muscles affecting nervous system function, then apply corrective techniques to restore proper communication between muscles and nerves, promoting natural healing processes and pain relief.
Animal Nutrition Counseling
Our holistic approach to animal health combines Quantum Nutrition Testing with dietary analysis to address pet health concerns. Through virtual consultations, we develop customized nutrition plans for dogs, cats, and other animals, focusing on whole-food supplements and dietary modifications to improve digestion, energy levels, and overall vitality.
Nutritional Testing
We employ advanced diagnostic tools including Heart Sound Recorder, Max Pulse Test, and Cold Light Laser analysis to evaluate cardiovascular, nervous system, and cellular health. These non-invasive tests help identify nutritional deficiencies and organ stress markers, guiding precise supplementation protocols for metabolic balance and immune support.
Holistic Wellness Programs
Our structured wellness programs offer ongoing support through twice-monthly training sessions and educational resources. Participants receive personalized guidance in implementing dietary changes, supplement regimens, and lifestyle modifications while progressing through our 7-Step Blueprint to Optimal Health framework for sustainable wellness outcomes.

Dr Schmidt has a quick and keen sense of understanding cause of problems/symptoms and what to do to eliminate them. Ive made critical strides in my health and well-being, especially around some chronically stuck symptoms based solely on Dr Schmidts evolving to suit me treatment plans. If youre sick and tired of looking for solutions, Dr Schmidt will be the last place you look because he will provide them. If youre serious about getting well, you will follow them, and never have to look again. AND hes just like he is in his videos, real & relatable.

Finally! A true and honest place of healing the body. Dr. Taggy and this team of Healing Angels have saved my life. After having an employer tell me I had to have the covid vac, I reluctantly received it, and it nearly killed me. I knew I wouldn't have a good reaction to the covid vax due to a health setback 2 years ago. My primary physician (fomerly now - i fired him), refused to give me a medical exemption. Dr. Taggy saved my life. I knew for years modern medicine tests were useless and making things worse with MRI's, CT' scans and drugs. My primary physician and many specialists are clueless

I've been watching Dr. Schmidt's videos for over a year and in August became a patient of Dr Taggy's at his office through their travel package (from California) and I couldn't be happier! The appointments were fascinating, I learned so much and never felt so heard and cared for at a doctors appointment! I couldnt believe how much better I felt after a week, and now, 2.5 months later, the progress Ive experienced from following her advice and supplement protocol has truly been mind blowing and Im so excited to continue this journey with them via phone and in person again. I can't speak
