Packages

Bio-Energetic Body Scan -You've been told your labs are normal, your results look fine, and there's nothing wrong — but you know your body better than any test result. Your Personal Body Scan Blueprint goes deeper than conventional medicine ever will, remotely testing 100+ bio-markers to uncover the hidden toxins, hormone imbalances, and deficiencies that have been quietly driving your symptoms all along. Finally, the answers you deserve.

Your Personal Body Scan Blueprint 🌿

Most people have spent years collecting “normal” test results while still feeling anything but normal. You know your body—and you know when something doesn't feel right.

That's exactly why I created the Personal Body Scan Blueprint.
Combining 35 years of naturopathic experience with Bio-Energetic scanning, we'll explore 100+ bio-energetic markers and look for wellness patterns involving nutritional balance, environmental stressors, digestive health, hormones, organs and systems, and other areas where your body may be asking for support.

AND THE ENTIRE PROCESS IS DONE REMOTELY! 🏡
No driving. No waiting rooms. No need to leave the comfort of your own home.

1. We Start With YOU
You'll complete a comprehensive health and lifestyle history covering your current concerns, health history, medications, supplements, nutrition, lifestyle and what you'd most like to improve.

2. Collect Your Samples at Home
Using simple instructions, you'll collect small samples of your hair, nails, skin and saliva in the privacy of your own home. It takes just a few minutes.

3. Mail Your Samples to Our Lab
You'll mail your samples to our Bio-Energetic testing lab, where our technician completes your scan across 100+ bio-markers.

4. I Personally Review Your Report
Our technician sends me your detailed 6+ page personalized report. Before we meet, I'll review your results alongside your health history, lifestyle, medications and current supplements so we can look at the bigger picture.

5. We Meet for a Private 60-Minute Consultation
Choose phone or Zoom—whatever is easiest for you. I'll walk you through your report, explain the patterns we're seeing and help identify the areas where your body may need the most support.

6. You Receive YOUR Personalized Wellness Program
This isn't a generic protocol. I'll create a natural wellness program based on your scan, your history, your lifestyle and your individual priorities.
We'll look at nutrition, lifestyle and supplementation—including the vitamins and minerals you're already taking—to help simplify, consolidate and eliminate unnecessary overlap whenever possible.

The goal isn't to send you away with a cabinet full of MORE supplements!
It's to help you understand what may be worth focusing on—and what may not be.

AND I'M STILL HERE AFTER OUR CALL đź’š
Your consultation isn't the end of our relationship. As you begin implementing your wellness program, you'll have access to reach out to me through email or messaging with questions along the way.

No more randomly adding supplements.
No more wondering where to begin.
No more trying to piece everything together by yourself.

Stop guessing. Start testing.

Let's discover where YOUR body needs support and create a simpler, personalized path forward to balance your body from the inside out!

Peptides: Your Journey to Remarkable Aging

PEPTIDE EDUCATION HUB 🎥


Curious? Start Here.

I don't want you to take my word for it. I want you to understand the science.

I've spent 35 years as a Doctor of Naturopathy studying natural health, hormones, nutrition, healthy aging and the remarkable ways our bodies can respond when given the right support.
And for me, this is personal.

My mother had dementia. So did three of my aunts, three cousins, and Mark's father.

Watching people I loved lose so much—and seeing what it did to their families—made me determined to do everything within my power to support my brain, body and independence as I age.
Today, at 67, I'm traveling the world, practicing yoga, building strength, sleeping deeply and feeling more energetic and mentally clear than I have in years.

Peptides have become an exciting piece of that journey.
That's why I created this library.
Pour yourself a cup of coffee, choose the topic that speaks to you, and start exploring! đź’š

Testimonials

I've taken my whole family to Dr. Shirley for years. My littlest one was just 18 months when we started. She had failure to thrive and even with all the medical and blood tests we couldn't figure out why she was so weak. Dr. Shirley discovered her little body was full of toxins-most likely from the pesticide spray that happened around our little home in the orchard. We ended up moving. My daughter is well now.

- Anna C

I had gone from one test to another. Blood work at the best hospitals. Clinical evaluations. Yet, no one was able to help me with my severe fatigue (I lost my job because I couldn't work) and debilitating muscle aches. At age 46 I felt defeated and deflated. With no hope. Dr. Shirley discovered through bio-energetic testing that I was full of parasites-we started on a full cleanse and clean eating routine and within 6 weeks I was back to myself again. Thank you, Dr. Shirley-I have my life back again.

- John H

My husband was experiencing a real low time. Depressed, sullen and not interested in his wood working, the grandkids or me. I took him to see Dr. Shirley -he wouldn't talk to her, so I answered the questions. She suggested a natural protocol. The next month we came again. David was more communicative, smiled some and participated in the appointment. The next visit he went alone. His mood was back, his spark ignited and he even started a new project taking down the wallpaper in the bathroom-which I had wanted down for years!

- Kathy K

When I had my appointment with Dr. Shirley my joints (especially my knees) were killing me. Painful walking, painful at rest. I was not able to exercise and had gained close to 40 pounds. Dr. Shirley discovered my magnesium, manganese and calcium were terribly low and that there was a fair amount of inflammation in my structural system. In just over two months on Dr. Shirley's suggested regime, my mobility returned, I had lost 10# and was able to get out and walk again. On her suggestion, I also quit Diet Coke which I know made a big difference, too!

- Linda Q

My sleep had been horrible for years-ever since menopause, really. Tossing, turning, spinning mind and up for hours some nights. It was taking a toll on my energy, mood and my health. A good friend of mine suggested that Dr. Shirley had helped her, maybe she could help me, too. I was told my liver was stressed/toxic which was one of the reasons I woke up so often at 2AM. Dr. Shirley suggested a safe, mild cleanse and some magnesium complex, melatonin and herbal sleep. Today I sleep longer and deeper. Thank you Dr. Shirley!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Qest 4 Body Scan and How Does it Work?
The Body Scan uses non-invasive bioenergetic testing to evaluate patterns of balance and stress within the body. You collect simple samples (hair, urine, nails, saliva) at home, mail it in, and the results are evaluated by our experienced technician using QEST 4 technology. The information gathered helps identify areas of imbalance so we can support the body naturally. 
Do I need to come into an office?
No, not at all.  Everything is completed from home. You’ll receive a testing kit by mail, collect your samples, and send them back using the pre-paid envelope. Your consultation with Dr. Shirley is done via phone.
What Samples Are Used?
 
The at-home HUNS test kit includes instructions to collect small samples of:

  • hair
  • urine
  • nails
  • saliva

These are used for bioenergetic evaluation and do not involve needles, blood draws, or invasive testing.

 
Is This a Medical Test or a Diagnosis?
 No. The Body Scan is not a medical test and does not diagnose, treat, or replace care from a licensed medical provider. It is an informational wellness assessment designed to identify patterns of imbalance and support natural, root-cause-focused care. 
What Kinds of Information Can the Body Scan Reveal?
 
The Body Scan can provide insight into patterns related to:

  • organ systems showing what may be weak, stable, or under stress
  • vitamin, mineral, fatty acid, and amino acid levels
  • possible imbalances related to candida, parasites, or toxic burdens
  • areas where the body may be compensating rather than functioning optimally

This information helps guide personalized, natural recommendations.
 
Who Performs the Testing?
All testing is run by an experienced QEST 4 technician. Dr. Shirley receives the results, interprets them, and reviews everything with you during your private consultation. 
What Will I Receive After My Consultation?
 
You will receive: 
  • digital copies of your body scan reports
  • a personalized protocol created by Dr. Shirley
  • clear recommendations tailored to your body’s specific needs

Protocols may include guidance around nutrition, supplements, cleansing, detoxification, emotional balance, and ways to strengthen weak systems or calm stressed ones.
 
How Long Will the Process Take?
 
  • Your testing kit is mailed within 48 hours of purchase
  • Samples are evaluated within 5 business days of being received
  • You’ll then receive an email inviting you to schedule your 60-minute consultation with Dr. Shirley

You’ll be guided every step of the way.
 
Will I Need Supplements?
Not everyone does. Recommendations are based entirely on your individual results and priorities. If supplements are suggested, they are used thoughtfully and intentionally — not as a one-size-fits-all approach. 
Is Retesting Recommended?
Yes, retesting is often suggested after about 60 days to assess progress and refine recommendations. This allows us to see how your body is responding and adjust support as needed. 
Who is This For?
This service is ideal for people who feel “off,” have tried many approaches, or want a clearer understanding of what their body needs — even when standard tests appear normal. The same bio-energetic testing can also be applied to pets (dogs and cats). 
What if I Have Questions After My Consultation?
Questions are always welcomed and personally addressed by Dr. Shirley via message or email. 
What if I still have questions prior to ordering?
That's great-I'd love to hear from you! Please reach out via text at 585-503-6478 or email [email protected] and I'll answer any questions you have.
