Frequently Asked Questions

WHY IS THE PRACTICE CALLED BAY VIEW HEALTH & WELLNESS?
Bay View was Liz’s parents’ favorite beach on Cape Cod, in Dennis, Massachusetts. She chose the name to honor them, as they both passed from biotoxin illnesses.
The word “View” also reflects the specialized form of energetic testing we use to gain insight into the body, while “Health & Wellness” reflects our commitment to educating and empowering clients to restore and maintain their well-being.
The bay leaf is a symbol of love, courage, strength and triumph.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING AN A.R.T. SESSION
You will be lying comfortably on an exam table. During your INITIAL ASSESSMENT, two practitioners work to identify the priority stressors affecting your autonomic nervous system. These stressors are often sources of low-grade inflammation. This involves the practitioner or assistant lightly touching different areas of your body. We test multiple energetic imbalances including:
– Microbial imbalances (Lyme, co-infections, COVID etc.)
– Environmental toxins (pesticides, herbicides, microplastics)
– Heavy metals and vaccine residues
– Scar interference fields
– Past emotional trauma
– Electromagnetic exposure
We also take your specific HEALTH GOALS into account as we build a tailored plan. You will receive a comprehensive protocol with a range of recommendations. While supplements may be included, our emphasis is on minimizing supplementation and prioritizing education and sustainable lifestyle changes.
WILL I REQUIRE FOLLOW-UP SESSIONS?
Yes.
Follow-up sessions are typically scheduled every 5 weeks to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your protocol. Optimal progress in restoring health is achieved when sessions are done sequentially, allowing us to address layers of imbalance as they present.
During each session, A.R.T. is repeated and a new treatment protocol is instituted based on current findings. Progress can often be seen as the body’s response to stressors decreases in severity and previously indicated treatments no longer test as necessary.
Additionally, an assessment may include food allergy testing, dental evaluations, and verification of remedy uptake in the target organ. This is one of the most overlooked yet critical aspects of healing—and it’s a key factor that sets A.R.T. apart from other disciplines.
WHY DOES YOUR PRACTICE RECOMMEND SPECIFIC SUPPLEMENTS?
Our practice recommends specific supplements because sourcing and quality are critical to effective healing. Using Autonomic Response Testing, we assess how your body responds to the EXACT brand of each recommended supplement to ensure it is genuinely beneficial for you. We have invested considerable time in selecting herbs and supplements that are not only potent but also free from artificial ingredients, allergens, and toxins, providing you with the highest quality support for your health.
Please note that some of these supplements may need to be ordered from Ki Science in England as Dr. Klinghardt includes many of these remedies in his recommended protocols.
WHY HERBS INSTEAD OF PHARMACEUTICALS?
Herbs support the body’s natural ability to self-regulate and heal. Unlike synthetic pharmaceuticals, which often focus on symptom suppression, botanical herbs work synergistically with the body to address underlying imbalances. Plants produce unique phytochemicals as a natural defense against microbes and environmental stressors—including modern challenges like EMF (electromagnetic field) exposure.
Over generations, our ancestors regularly consumed these compounds, allowing the human body to evolve efficient pathways for processing and utilizing them. This evolutionary adaptation underscores the potential benefits of herbal remedies compared to their synthetic counterparts. Herbs are powerful tools—when selected and used with care, they can promote deep, lasting wellness with fewer side effects.
HOW DO ENERGY MEDICINE AND CONVENTIONAL HEALTHCARE WORK TOGETHER TO SUPPORT MY HEALING?
When energy medicine modalities, such as Autonomic Response Testing (A.R.T.), and conventional healthcare come together, they create a more complete approach to healing. Conventional care addresses the physical aspects of health, while energy medicine supports energetic balance and underlying vitality. Rather than competing, these two approaches complement each other, offering a path that honors both the physical and energetic dimensions of well-being. At Bay View Health & Wellness, our work is designed to complement mainstream healthcare. We encourage clients to maintain strong relationships with their medical providers while we explore pathways that enhance the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Together, this integrative approach can make a deeper, more meaningful impact on your overall health.
WHAT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE CLARIFIED BEFORE MY NEXT APPOINTMENT?
Not a problem! If you have questions that need clarification before your next appointment, we’re here to help. We understand that some aspects of your protocol may require further explanation. Just send us a message through the MESSAGE tab, and a team member will respond within 48 hours.
WHAT IF I’M NOT MOTIVATED TO FOLLOW A PROTOCOL?
Our practice is founded on the belief that education is a powerful motivator.
Knowledge empowers, and understanding the why, how, and what behind your health journey can inspire the desire to achieve your health goals and make lasting, positive changes in your life.
We will work with you to develop sustainable habits that align with your unique lifestyle and ensure long-term success.
WILL I NEED TO BE ON A PROTOCOL FOR LIFE?
No, you will not need to be on the protocol for life. The goal is to support your body in detoxifying and healing, after which we will work together to create a maintenance protocol that promotes ongoing health. Detoxification is a lifelong process, as environmental toxins and stressors continue to impact us. You will be guided through the process and empowered to make choices that align with your health goals.
WILL INSURANCE PAY FOR MY VISIT?
Currently, insurance does not cover Autonomic Response Testing. We understand that chronic illness can be expensive. Many of our clients have shared stories of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars while bouncing from provider to provider, searching for an answer. A.R.T. helps guide the creation of an effective protocol tailored to your body’s specific needs, ensuring you invest in supplements and healing modalities that truly benefit you, rather than wasting money on those that won’t.
