Achieving the best results is a TEAM EFFORT.  I'll do my part, and you do your part, and together we will achieve your healthcare goals. Specialist from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), docHannon is well equipped to handle your health concerns.  

 Trauma isn’t just about physical pain—it can impact your entire body, including how it processes food and nutrients! ​ docHannon explains that understanding your metabolism and nutrition is key to improving your health. ​

When managing metabolism, the first step is to look at your daily eating habits. ​ There are three types of food: good food, bad food, and wrong food. ​ Most people know that good food is healthy and bad food isn’t. ​ But what’s “wrong food”? ​ It’s when a good food turns out to be bad for you personally. ​ For example, nuts are healthy because they provide essential fats, but if you’re allergic to them, they can cause serious problems for your body. ​ So, even good foods can be harmful depending on your body’s needs. 

Metabolic and nutritional health isn’t just about what you eat—it’s also about how your body works internally. ​ For example, if someone has high blood pressure, it’s important to figure out what’s causing it. ​ Is it related to the heart, kidneys, liver, hormones, or even stress? ​ A metabolic assessment helps identify the root cause of these imbalances. ​

Research shows that traumatic events, like car accidents or other stressful experiences, can lead to health issues such as high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, or changes in weight. ​ Trauma and stress can trigger or worsen these conditions, especially if you’re already at risk for them. ​ Understanding your metabolism and nutrition can help you manage these challenges and improve your overall health. ​

The purpose, function, and benefits of the Acoustic Cardiograph (ACG), a tool for assessing heart and overall health through heart vibrations linked to nutrition and systemic function. ​

Overview of the ACG

The ACG records heart vibrations at four locations, producing a graph signature reflecting heart motion, valve activity, and muscle contraction. ​It offers a dynamic, real-time view of heart efficiency, muscle function, and systemic health, emphasizing prevention and nutritional support rather than disease diagnosis. 

Unlike the EKG, which measures electrical impulses and nerve activity, the ACG assesses muscle and valve function, providing insights into metabolism, nutrition, and overall body chemistry. 

​The heart's vibrations serve as a reflection of balanced nutrition or malnutrition, making the ACG a valuable tool for monitoring health and nutritional status over time. ​ 

The ACG can suggest issues such as muscle function, heart rhythm, body chemistry balance, nutritional deficiencies, e.g., vitamins B and E, electrolytes, fatty acids, and calcium, to name a few. 

The ACG helps evaluate the effectiveness of nutritional and lifestyle interventions, distinguishing high-quality food-based supplements from synthetic vitamins, as the latter may worsen graph patterns. ​

Each imbalance or deficiency has a characteristic graph signature, enabling detection and tailored support, with the ACG serving as an objective measure of systemic health and nutritional status. ​

NUTRI-SPEC offers a personalized, science-based method for improving health by focusing on your body's unique metabolic needs. Instead of using generic treatments for symptoms or diseases, NUTRI-SPEC uses 46 different tests to identify imbalances in your metabolism. These tests help determine which foods and supplements will best restore your body's balance. 

The approach centers on five key body systems that influence energy, digestion, heart and brain health, stress response, and aging. If any of these systems are out of balance, you may experience fatigue, weakness, or health issues. NUTRI-SPEC identifies these imbalances and creates a tailored plan to address them.

Unlike traditional healthcare, which often treats symptoms with medication, NUTRI-SPEC looks at each person as an individual. It recognizes that nutritional needs vary—what works for one person may not work for another.  For example, some people benefit from red meat or calcium supplements, while others may not.  NUTRI-SPEC's scientific testing ensures you get the right recommendations for your body. 

The program focuses on four essential health functions: controlling blood sugar, producing energy efficiently, maintaining proper pH balance, and balancing electrolytes and water. Randomly trying diets or supplements can be harmful, but NUTRI-SPEC's targeted approach avoids these risks. 

By restoring balance, NUTRI-SPEC can help you boost your energy, resist disease, recover faster, manage stress, and slow aging. A practitioner will test you, recommend specific foods and supplements, and monitor your progress with follow-up tests, ensuring your plan adapts to your changing needs.  In summary, NUTRI-SPEC is a customized, scientific system designed to help you achieve optimal health by addressing your body's specific requirements.
