The Nutritional Healing Center of Ann Arbor 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 he opened in Ann Arbor in 2000.

Then 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.

Total Health Restoration
Report
Your body is always trying to heal itself but it has barriers preventing that. What are YOUR barriers? There could be harmful toxic chemicals poisoning your cells. Medical drugs can utterly destroy your overall health and proper function of the intricate systems of your body. You could have heavy metals built up in your tissues and inhibiting your body’s ability to function.

Of course, there are the typical immune challenges caused by bacteria, viruses, and parasites.

Even your scars could be interfering with your body’s nervous system and blocking its ability to communicate and thus control vital functions.

Your food choices play a major role in harming or helping your body in its quest for healing.

These are just some examples of what is stopping you from being truly healthy. With so many possible causes and the amazingly complex ecosystem, it’s no wonder traditional medicine takes the easy road of eradicating a symptom with drugs or surgery.

We take a different approach as the goal is Total Health Restoration. Using Nutrition Response Testing we precisely identify your body’s specific barriers and address each one, in turn, starting with the primary block to your health and then intelligently tackling each barrier until you have restored your whole health.

Vitamin Deficiency Complexes
Vitamin deficiencies are as complex and uniques as snowflakes, leaves, and fingerprints... no where in the world is there one that is identical to another. Your nutritional deficiencies are not the same as anyone else's but most vitamins are single chemicals rather than whole food vitamin complexes.

I wasn't feeling well after a hard day of practice in 97 degree weather, my mom took me to this office for IV therapy. Z in the front office was so nice and welcoming. Morgan was so gentle while giving me my infusion and helped explain the process so well! I normally don't do well with needles but she made this process so quick and easy. I recommend anyone come here and get an infusion! I'll definitely be returning.

I am a few months into my healing journey with Dr. Khawaja and so many things in my life have changed for the better in just a short 3 months of working with her. It is truly a sigh of relief knowing that I get to work with someone like her and have her guide me through this journey rather than trying to do it by myself or seeking the typical "western medicine" help.

Not only is she so knowledgeable on all the information she has shared with me on getting to the root cause of all the issues, but so personable and truly wants to get to know you and your life story. She's amazing and I am so glad I found her! Thanks to all her great reviews on google that I read, that's what brought me here to start working with her and the least I can do is share my amazing review on her and the Whole List Doc team. :

Dr. Khawaja and her staff have been nothing but exceptional since I became a patient. I saw 2 other doctors before seeing Dr Khawaja and she was able to address my health concerns and alleviate the daily hives I had been experiencing which was a huge relief. Im looking forward to continuing my health journey with her and the staff and am excited to take control of my own health.

My family and I were recently sick with COVID. Thanks to the homeopathic remedies and supplements that Dr. Khawaja recommended, our bout with the illness was much shorter, and much easier to manage. Our symptoms were greatly reduced, and we sailed through with minor discomfort. In addition, through Dr. Khawaja's program, I have been able to increase my energy, lose 13 pounds, and increase my energy levels. I am so grateful to have found her and her team, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to improve their health.

Dr. Khawaja truly makes good on her promise to treat the whole body as a series of connected systems and improve overall health without isolating or ignoring any of it. Under her care, I've made enormous strides in my health, really achieving my goals and feeling overall much healthier. She demands a variety of adjustments and full buy-in. Getting on board with her approach will make a world of difference in setting you up for success. I hlighly recommend working with her if you're ready to get true holistic care!

Dr. Khawaja saved my life. I was living with some of the most intense and debilitating anxiety prior to finding her and becoming a patient of hers. Her genuine care was something I had never experienced in a physician before. I also had never had a doctor tell me they actually wanted to run labs and do various testing on me, only prescribe medication and send me on my way. Dr. K genuinely cares about her patients and their wellbeing.

She is in it for the life-transformation, not just a roster full of patients. She challenges you in your health but also in your mindset, willpower, goals, and so much more. Working with Dr. Khawaja has changed my life and helped to shift my entire perspective on how to handle my health, the body, my thoughts, and all of aspect of life. She has been worth every penny. If you let her, she will take your health and wellness to places you never thought possible!

Dr. Saima Khawaja, she is amazing! She gives the most genuine advice and treats your problems from the roots rather than treating the symptoms. She advised me to do some dietary changes that will help my Auto-immune disorders and overall help with lowering inflammation in my body. My body has changed dramatically, I feel much healthier, I have much less fatigue than I had, I feel so young and energetic!.My tests have came back much better, all my inflammatory markers are within normal range!

My Doctor was surprised my blood clotting disorder vanished. I know it's definitely because of the changes I've made. She also helped me recover from COVID, she made very good recommendations of supplements and medications that helped me shorten the duration and helped me recover within days! She is overall an amazing person who gives great advice and helps you heal your body from within rather than just treating the symptoms of your diagnosis. She will help your immune system get up and running like it should! Lots of Love and Prayers for this wonderful doctor and amazing woman!

After several months of discussions with my primary care doctor about fatigue and other health concerns, I continued to have problems and couldn't sort complete relief. I met Dr. Khawaja and became friends with her and from her I learned about the functional medicine. I was fortunate to have found a doctor who could understand my feelings and listen to my health concerns very carefully.

She ordered tests that I have never had done in the past. At first, I felt nervous about the tests but when the results came back, she sat down and explained the underlying cause of my fatigue, feelings of exhaustion, stress, and anxiety. The results provided me with an in-depth understanding with a holistic view at the cell level and confirmed her remarkable insight about what was going on within my body.

She has also been supportive of my emotional needs and offered professional advice on strategies to address stress and anxiety. There have been some instances when I was in acute pain and had to reach her in the evening and she made sure to take my calls and prescribe medicine to help control the pain. The homeopathic medicine has had an amazing impact on my health and helped address a lot of my health issues including tooth ache, skin rash and acne. Dr. Khawaja is an exceptional doctor with good work ethics and a systematic approach for offering support to her patients.

She developed a personalized wellness program for me considering my work and family responsibilities and ensuring that I find time to take care of myself. She is not only my doctor but someone that I can call my best friend. She sincerely cares about her patients and is very much interested in their wellbeing. I am grateful for Dr. Khawaja's support and caring hugs that just makes all my pain vanish. She is an expert with abundant knowledge about functional medicine and homeopathy and I would highly recommend her to everyone seeking to live a healthy life.

I love this program! Since I've started with Dr. Khawaja I have been heading towards remission quicker then expected. I spent almost 6 years of my life going from doctor to doctor trying to figure out my stomach condition and on how I should approach treatment. Nothing seemed to be working and my state grew worse as time went on. I eventually got to the point where I had lost hope and thought there was no point in trying because nothing was working.

Then we found out about Dr. Khawaja. When we first came to the Whole List Doc I was very skeptical about how this was going to go. Even though I was skeptical we were welcomed with open arms and got started on the program immediately after testing. Its been about 3 months since I started this program and I'm already feeling better then I have ever felt in the past 6 years!

I believe that this program works wonders and that it can help many others if they are struggling with the same condition as many have had that have come to her for a different way to approach.

Highly recommend visiting Dr. Amanda Childress @ the NHCAA to get to the root of any of your health issues!! After seeing her about my health concerns I found many answers, and solutions. Dr. Childress cares, and follows up after appointments to make sure you are doing better. My life has been forever changed since going through this process. Worth every penny!!!

Kristen is outstanding! She explains everything so well and is very supportive and motivating. In about a month I feel and look so much better.

I have been going to Dr. Schmidt for a couple of years. It has been a life-changing experience for me. I had been sick for 3-4 years - going to the doctor over and over, subjected to tests, yet no accurate diagnosis. Dr. Schmidt helped me identify the problem and do what was necessary to get well and maintain my health. Now, I am healthy and strong again! I can't thank him enough!!
Sarah Stein
I didn't control what I ate at all for over a year. I moved back to Ann Arbor and decided I needed to change. Kristen told me about a fast and diet that would clean out my body; eat mostly avocados and a "green drinks" for 5 days and a special ketosis diet after that. I did it to the best of my abilities, while taking the program Kristen gave me, and in 6 days I lost almost 10 pounds (9.5)! I also feel the difference. I feel clean and fresh. Kristen is great at motivating me to do and be my best. I can't wait to keep going with the diet and see what happens.

I love Dr Amanda! She is a great listener! Nothing is too strange to talk about and my questions are never silly. She helped me get an A+ on my blood work for my thyroid so that I don't have to take a pill every day. You will love her patience and kind heart too.
