My name is Emily Thurner, and I am a licensed and registered Occupational Therapist. I have been practicing Nutrition Response Testing since 2015 after it completely saved and changed my life. I had been diagnosed with the mystery diagnosis of “chronic pain” – prior to which I had been healthy! Running 6 days per week and working as an Occupational Therapist and being a busy young mama. Then, I st
arted getting chronic tendonitis that would not go away – first in my arms then spread to my feet, knees, and hips. I remember laying on the floor, ice on my knees and back, foot in an ice bucket, and two arm splints on my arms thinking “Low point.” People didn’t know what to make of this, including my family. At times I felt hopeless, embarrassed, ashamed, and depressed. I clung to my faith, knowing that God had a purpose in it, and accepting that purpose whatever it may be. I knew that within a year, if things didn’t change, then I would be in a wheelchair. By His true Grace, I found Nutrition Response Testing for myself, and it helped me find the underlying causes to my symptoms, where traditional medicine, including 10 medical professionals and several trips to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, found nothing wrong. As I healed, I knew I was being called for more in this field. After years of experience practicing Nutrition Response Testing, I again felt that flicker of change in my heart. I am now the owner of Abundant Health and Wellness and have been humbled and in awe of God’s hand at work. I have been cultivating strong roots filled with God’s love and intending His purpose. I am continuing with my great love for Nutrition Response Testing as my main operation, but I am thrilled to combine it with my new passion of functional wellness. I am offering Nutrition Response Testing, prayerfully guided intuitive appointments, and comprehensive specimen analysis to validate testing and/or breakthrough stuck cases!
