It was Hippocrates, known as “the Father of Medicine,” who declared: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” The Natural Health Improvement Center of South Jersey, in Cherry Hill, is a prime example of the greatest Greek physician’s famous words.

Founder Sarah Outlaw always wanted to be a healer. Through her own experience, she realized that all healing starts with health, and that all health starts with nutrition. “What drives me is getting sick people well,” she shares. “Often, people come here as their last resort, their last hope. I say, ‘While there is life, there is hope,’ and we live and run our practice by that. It is truly fulfilling to be able to give people their lives back, improve the quality of their lives, and help them become better versions of themselves.”

The Natural Health Improvement Center is a Nutrition Response Testing practice, and it is this technique that makes them so unique. Nutrition Response Testing is a trademarked, precise, scientific and non-invasive way of analyzing the body in order to determine the root cause of ill health. It uses muscle strength testing to communicate with the body’s own innate intelligence to evaluate the response to a broad variety of substances that may be affecting health and function. These neurological reflexes are the body’s way of communicating what and how the nervous system is doing. And the feedback is said to be so precise that it opens the door to a safe and lasting recovery, even in cases where everything else has failed. 

Outlaw helps people with virtually all sorts of illnesses: from autoimmune diseases, adrenal, thyroid, digestive, skin and fertility issues, to food allergies, metal and chemical toxicity, and Lyme’s disease. She attests that the cause of illness is almost always some kind of immune system issue, which is almost always caused by a nutritional deficiency imbalance. By bringing the body back in balance with the right nutrition and supplements, she strives to aid you to regain optimum health. 

Outlaw charged head-on into her studies, and went from being a homeschooling stay-at-home mom of four to also becoming a highly successful health entrepreneur. She went back to school and gained credentials as a certified health coach, clinical master herbalist, advanced Nutrition Response Testing practitioner and clinical functional nutritionist, all while being fully cheered on by her family.

“My husband was a huge support for me,” she says. “‘If not now, when?’ he would say. So I went back to school. I was still breastfeeding my youngest son at the time, but that problem was swiftly solved by my husband suggesting to come to school with me, so I could nurse my son in between classes.”

She herself was immensely helped by Nutrition Response Testing, and so she became passionate about healing others with it. “I used to have bad cystic acne, migraines, stress, and fatigue. On top of that, I had Lyme’s disease. A few cycles on a program relieved me of it all. And that can be the same for you,” she proclaims. “I understand what ill health feels like, and I have great compassion for what people go through. The greatest thing we offer is a tailor made program, which is very specific to the individual and their health issues. It is not ‘one size fits all’, and it is this specificity that reaps results.”

Outlaw is very open about her own health struggles, which makes it easy for clients to relate. It is her outstanding clinical and communication skills that make her work stand out, and those qualities are the reason people are flying in to South Jersey to come see her. With a strong belief in integrity, commitment, honesty and open communication, Outlaw possesses many special qualities. 

“Be well, and thrive!” rings her slogan, and to that she adds: “Life is short, live it well! Truly, you can’t pour from an empty cup. Take the time to get taken care of. You never realize how bad you feel until you start healing and feeling better.”

Even though her outreach is already spanning far and wide, with a popular health blog called Real Food Outlaws, a large social media following and a satellite practice about to open, she is ever eager to help more people heal. “If you are a Nutrition Response Testing case, then nothing will help you as much,” she affirms. “My door is always open. Even if the timing isn’t perfect, I am going to be here for you when you are ready. I’m not going anywhere. And if you want to feel better now, make an appointment to change your health today!”
