The Whitten Method
Share
Our goal is to provide each reader with pertinent information about how to achieve a higher level of BIRTH OF THE WHITTEN METHOD
This was a problem for me.
BRIEF HISTORY OF NATURAL HEALING
In the mid-1960’s, Dr. George Goodheart discovered techniques for healing, which he developed into a system called Applied Kinesiology (AK). This system is still being developed and improved upon by modern practitioners, who are adding their experiences and discoveries to this growing body of work. In the original finding, when you test a muscle that is working properly it will test strong, and then it will go weak when you touch a place on the body that is injured. This became useful for helping holistic doctors to find not only the location of an injured muscle or tendon, but also locating misaligned bones, blocked acupuncture points, foods that a person is allergic to and much more. Over time, people discovered more and more uses for this amazing phenomenon. It as though the body has all the information about itself and when we tap this wealth of knowledge, it tells us exactly what the person needs in order to heal. Although considered controversial in the U.S., this technique is used by a third of the medical doctors in Europe. In the 80’s, a man named Alan Beardall DC made a quantum leap in this field and developed a distinct system called Clinical Kinesiolgy (CK). This technique enabled the practitioner to not only provide more sophisticated work by delving into the emotional and energetic causes of imbalances, but it also had a way to determine the priority of the issue. When a priority is corrected, many other problems clear up automatically. But because of the additional years of training and the complexity of CK, there are fewer than ten advanced practitioners in the world (including myself). I wanted to offer this great work to the world but I realized that it was too complex for most practitioners to take the time to learn. As a result of this dilemma, I have spent over ten years developing a system that is tremendously comprehensive, yet easy to teach. This form of muscle testing is called The Whitten Method. There are many applications that are covered in AK or CK, but they are not necessarily customized and prioritized. The Whitten Method not only tells you what your body is in need of, but it also directs the practitioner of the priority that these weaknesses should be addressed. Here is a list of a few of the applications:
Locating self-limiting beliefs
Determining food allergies
Testing if a situation is healthy for you
Planning out your ideal diet
Designing your perfect training regimen
Establishing your body’s bedtime and wake time
Knowing which forms of physical activity are good for you
Dosing the correct supplements for each individual body
Personalizing the Feng Shui of your home
And much more …
What can your body’s heat patterns tell you? 🌡️
We recently visited Inside & Out Naturally to spend some time with Kimberley Bennett, DNM®, CTT, and learn more about the fascinating world of clinical thermography.
Dr. Whitten sat down with Kimberley to talk about how thermography works, what it can reveal, and why she’s passionate about giving people another way to become more informed and proactive about their health.
And of course, we couldn’t just talk about it — Melissa got a thermography scan herself!
Thermography uses infrared technology to map temperature patterns on the surface of the body. It’s non-invasive, radiation-free, and requires no physical contact, making it an interesting tool for monitoring physiological patterns and changes over time.
What we especially appreciate about Kimberley’s approach is something that aligns closely with our own philosophy: pay attention to the body, look for patterns, and give people more information to help them make informed decisions about their health.
Thank you, Kimberley, for welcoming us into your clinic and showing us what you do! 🙌

What can come up in just ONE Whitten Method session? 👀
For this client, her first session went beyond the physical. Through muscle testing, Dr. Whitten explored different layers of imbalance—including biochemical factors like parasites, as well as an energetic component connected to past trauma.
One of the things that makes the Whitten Method so unique is that every session is different. Rather than following the same protocol for everyone, Dr. Whitten uses the body’s responses to help guide what to look at and what to address.
Structural. Biochemical. Energetic. Sometimes the piece you didn’t expect is the one your body points to. ✨
Hear what she had to say about experiencing the Whitten Method for the very first time. 🎥

One of the foundational ideas behind the Whitten Method is that the body doesn’t operate in separate compartments.
A problem may have a structural component. But what about biochemical influences? Or energetic imbalances?
That’s why the Whitten Method teaches practitioners to look through three interconnected lenses:
🦴 Structural — muscles, joints, fascia, posture & more
🌿 Biochemical — nutrition, foods, supplements & other biochemical influences
⚡ Energetic — exploring energetic imbalances and how they may interact with the rest of the body
The power isn’t in any ONE of these modules.
It’s learning to put all three together.
This September, Dr. Hesu Whitten is teaching his complete 4-day Whitten Method Practitioner Certification Course in Ventura.

Quick post-filming adjustment! 💥🎥
After filming with Visionari Content | Ari Kirk for her Santa Barbara Sectets series (which you should totally check out), I gave her spine a little tuneup.
Anyone whose work physically requires them to slouch or look down a lot could definitely use a chiropractic adjustment every now and then.
