Overview

Dr. Force has been practicing natural health care since 1984. The focus of his practice is applied kinesiology, the use of muscle testing as a diagnostic method. This approach integrates methods from all of the healing arts into a unified whole and allows them to be blended together in a way that best suits the individual’s need for care.


Dr. Force is married and has three daughters (21-25). He enjoys learning (especially natural history), travel, and recreation in the outdoors such as climbing, skiing, whitewater rafting, and backpacking.


Dr. Force is a certified diplomate and teacher for the International College of Applied Kinesiology and the International Academy of Medical Acupuncture. He has published numerous research papers, helped develop nutritional formulas for Standard Process Labs and Biotics Research Corporation , and been a technical contributor for manuals on interpretation of laboratory tests and clinical nutritional protocols.
