Meet Dr. Katherine Teisinger, DAOM

Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine | Author | Speaker

Dr. Katherine Teisinger, known as Dr. Kathy to her patients, has been helping people achieve vibrant health since 1997. She earned her degree from the Florida College of Integrated Medicine and later obtained her Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the Atlantic Institute of Medicine. Her journey also took her to China, where she completed an intensive hospital internship, further refining her expertise in acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and food therapy.

Through years of clinical practice, she made a groundbreaking discovery—true healing isn’t just about treatment, it’s about identifying and removing the root cause of illness. Many times, that root cause was food. But convincing patients to change their diet was an uphill battle—until she found a way to let their own bodies "speak" through muscle testing. This method transformed her practice and inspired her to write Balance Me: Discover How to Listen to Your Body.

Educator, Speaker, and Advocate for Wellness

Dr. Kathy is a dynamic and engaging speaker, passionate about empowering people to take control of their health. She teaches audiences how to decode the messages their bodies send, helping them understand how food creates powerful energetic and chemical reactions.

Her past and present contributions include:

• Chairman of the Florida Board of Acupuncture (5 years). Served on the board for 12 years.

• Former President of Winter Haven Toastmasters and recipient of Toastmaster of the Year

• Sought-after speaker, delivering engaging talks to clubs, organizations, and wellness groups

• Published author in multiple industry magazines

• Educational video creator for national accounts

• Former children’s television host on Young World (NBC affiliate, Montgomery, AL)

• Before her career in holistic medicine, Dr. Kathy traveled the U.S. giving educational seminars and even performed as Daisy the Clown! Her diverse background in entertainment and education makes her presentations fun, engaging, and unforgettable.

A Passion for Healing, A Mission to Educate

Testimonials

By  Kim
I had a major problem that I went to a surgeon to see what was going on I knew 
every clean bathroom with in 50 miles of my home. I also was seeing Dr Kathy and 
she had said to see the surgeon to make sure. Dr Kathy had started to treat me with 
a major change in my diet and with some herbs by the time I went back to see the 
surgeon I was getting back to normal. The surgeon had said that I had a form of 
collides and that he could treat me with drugs I told him I was going a more healthier 
way that I had changed to being gluten free and dairy free it took a couple of months 
but to this day 2 years later I am doing very well
Thank you Dr Kathy


A MUST for every household
By  Rich
As a 100% disabled veteran, I had exhausted traditional approaches to health and 
wellness. I had tried everything traditional medicine told me to do with marginal 
results. In fact, my health was on a downward declining spiral. Thus, when I first 
came to Dr Teisinger, I had numerous health issues, many which were as a result of 
damage done as a result of prescribed medications and foods I had been ingesting. 
The 'concept' that food could be the root 'cause' of some of my issues and the 
'concept' of muscle testing, at first seemed odd to me but what Dr Kathy teaches 
WORKS! I encourage all to read this book and follow its guidance. After following 
what she outlined in her book, in two months, my blood sugar went from 240 to 75, I 
am losing about 3lbs per week and most importantly, I am finally regaining my 
health!! A mind and a parachute only work when open - regardless of your 
reservations, keep an open mind and discern for yourself. We have only one life and 
we should live it at its best - something we can't do if our health is failing or in a poor 
state.


Changed my life
By  Kara
This book is written by an inspiring healer and teacher. I have grown in health and 
wellness through her counsel and now she is sharing that with the world in her first 
book. Eating what your body tells you it needs will change your life.


Her book transformed my life!
By  Nicole
The concept of food causing a chemical reaction in the body seems like such a 
simple concept, yet it was one I hadn't thought about until I read this book and went 
to Dr. Katherine Teisinger as a patient. I have suffered from digestive ailments and 
extreme joint pain/ fatigue for the past 15 years. Dr. Kathy taught me this arm testing 
method and it turns out I am allergic to all dairy and gluten. Within a week of 
eliminating these two things from my diet, my joint pain alleviated, my acne cleared, 
my energy increased and my digestive problems vanished! A few weeks ago I 
decided to indulge in some dairy and guess what happened, all of my symptoms 
reappeared. Proof that this works. As a bonus to feeling great, this method has also 
helped my body maintain a healthy weight as I am only eating foods it agrees with. I 
highly recommend this book as it does a great job of teaching you how you can use 
your diet to heal your body and maintain optimal health and weight.


WOW
By  Niki  
I found this book very interesting! At first it seems like a very "weird" concept and I 
still feel strange muscle testing myself but it WORKS! I found out that my stomach 
aches were do to a gluten sensitivity by muscle testing foods in my own kitchen. I 
have cut out gluten and no more stomach aches for me!!! Best thing is I didn't have 
to sit in a doctors waiting room for hours and I was in the privacy of my own home. 
The book even has pictures to help explain the correct technique. We all know our 
bodies can do some amazing things so why not let it tell us what it does and does 
not need! I am hooked!!!
