The Nutritional Healing Center of Ann Arbor was founded in 2004. NHCAA evolved from Dr. Darren Schmidt’s first office called The Wholistic Doctor which heopened in Ann Arbor in 2000.  In 2004 after searching for more than a decade for natural health remedies that would make people truly healthy Dr. Schmidt discovered Nutrition Response Testing.

The success was immediate, using Nutrition Response Testing℠ real food, whole-food supplements and traditional chiropractic he finally started getting the results he’d knew were possible. Patients began attaining stable health improvement that lasted. Where Chiropractic alone couldn’t handle every health challenge paired with Nutrition Response Testing he was now able to help people achieve Total Health Restoration.

Since the transformation to the Nutritional Healing Center in 2004 the purpose has been to create a truly healthy Ann Arbor. NHCAA has grown by more than 10 times and now has helped thousands upon thousands to become free of pain, hormone problems, digestive issues and many other chronic health conditions. All without drugs or surgery. Healthcare as Mother Nature Intended.

With the addition of Kerry Cradit, B.Scn in Nutrition and Dr. Amanda Childress, PharmD in 2011 the Nutritional Healing Center of Ann Arbor has truly started achieving its purpose of creating a healthy community made up of healthy people achieving their full potentials in life.

Darren graduated in the spring of 1997 from the National College of Chiropractic in Chicago. He then opened a practice in Toledo for 3 1/2 years. He moved to Ann Arbor in 2000.

While in Chiropractic College, Dr. Schmidt attended nearly 50 seminars in 24 months searching for the most effective therapies to get a person well. This is when he discovered the power of nutrition. He saw the effectiveness and the huge need for good nutritional work in this country. He also looked at other doctors and saw that the best doctors had a holistic view and were using natural therapies and muscle testing. Dr. Schmidt has traveled the country teaching Nutrition Response Testing℠ to over 3000 Chiropractors, Medical Doctors, Acupuncturists, Nurses, staff and other healthcare practitioners.
