Autonomic Response Testing is a non-invasive, energy-based biofeedback technique developed by Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, MD and Louisa Williams, DC, ND. It was created as an advanced tool for identifying chronic infections, toxicity, and organ dysfunction — and for determining the most effective therapies to address these imbalances and restore health.

Autonomic Response Testing (ART) taps into the body’s own intelligence to uncover hidden stressors that may be contributing to chronic illness.

By observing subtle changes in muscle tone in response to various stimuli, ART provides valuable insight into how the body reacts to different elements, including:

– Environmental toxins
– Chronic infections
– Food sensitivities
– Emotional traumas
– Nutritional deficiencies
– Energetic and organ-level imbalances

This enables a more comprehensive, personalized assessment that extends beyond conventional lab testing, providing clarity for patients whose symptoms persist despite traditional treatment.

At the core of ART is the autonomic nervous system — the part of the body that governs all automatic functions like digestion, heart rate, immune response, and detoxification. 

No two individuals are alike, and neither are their health needs. ART enables completely personalized care by tailoring recommendations to your unique physiology and energetic blueprint. Each session is designed to match you with the precise remedies or therapies your body resonates with most, allowing for targeted and efficient healing.

While ART is powerful on its own, it is most effective when used in conjunction with standard diagnostic tools. Dr Magerman uses ART to enhance traditional assessments and ensure no aspect of your health is overlooked. This integrative approach leads to a more complete understanding of your condition and a treatment plan that truly supports your healing journey.
