The Body Code: Supporting the Body’s Natural Balance
Written by Sarah Parkins. Published August 25, 2025
Conventional healthcare - through medications, lab tests, and diagnostic imaging - is essential for identifying and addressing health concerns. Alongside this, some people choose to explore complementary approaches that support the body in additional ways. The Body Code, developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson, is one such system. It offers a way to explore and release energetic patterns that may subtly influence overall well-being, supporting the body’s natural processes.
Important Note: The Body Code is not a medical diagnosis, treatment, or cure. Sessions are intended to complement conventional healthcare and provide supportive insight into potential energetic influences - not to replace professional medical advice.
What is the Body Code?
The Body Code is a comprehensive energy-based system that identifies potential energetic imbalances in areas such as:
Trapped emotions
Organs, circuits, systems, and glands
Structural shifts
Toxicities and environmental stressors
Nutritional or lifestyle imbalances
Energetic influences from viruses, pathogens, and other external factors
Sarah Parkins, Founder of Birch Cove, works with the client’s subconscious system to explore these patterns and support their natural release. Learn more about The Body Code.
The Science Behind It
While some aspects of the Body Code may sound abstract, there is a growing scientific framework for understanding energy and physiology:
Psychoneuroimmunology shows how the nervous system, immune response, and emotional state are interconnected. Stress and unresolved emotions can influence how the body functions.
Quantum physics and biology demonstrate that every cell emits and responds to electromagnetic frequencies. Energetic patterns may theoretically influence these signals.
Muscle testing (an aspect of applied kinesiology) reflects subtle neuromuscular responses, which practitioners use to explore areas of potential imbalance.
In short, the Body Code works at the intersection of energy, awareness, and the subconscious, helping individuals explore patterns that may influence overall well-being.
Energy, Electromagnetic Fields, and Human Physiology
Humans are not only biological systems—they are also energetic systems. Every cell emits and responds to electromagnetic signals, which help regulate processes such as cell communication, circadian rhythms, and neurological signaling. Environmental EMFs, stress, toxins, or unresolved emotional patterns can influence how the body experiences energy flow.
Research in bioelectromagnetics shows that external fields can affect cellular activity, including ion transport and membrane potentials. Quantum biology and physics suggest that energy interactions at the subcellular level play a role in how the body processes information and maintains balance.
Energy-based modalities, like the Body Code and the Emotion Code, support individuals in exploring areas where energy may feel “stuck” or misaligned. By doing so, the system provides a framework for reflecting on and potentially releasing patterns - without replacing medical care.
Experience The Body Code
The Body Code helps individuals explore energetic patterns in organs, circuits, glands, or other systems. Sessions are conducted remotely via Zoom, using muscle testing on the practitioner’s body to identify these patterns.
While the method may sound unconventional, it is intended to support awareness of the body’s energetic information. Experiences vary: some notice shifts immediately, while others may explore patterns over multiple sessions. Want to know more about how it really works? Learn more here.
Important to note: This system is not a substitute for medical evaluation or treatment.
Who Can Benefit?
The Body Code is suitable for anyone interested in exploring potential energetic influences on overall well-being. Sessions may incorporate the Emotion Code, allowing the body to guide which areas to explore - whether related to physical, emotional, mental, relational, career, business, or lifestyle experiences.
It is particularly relevant for:
People curious about how energy patterns could relate to stress, tension, or recurring experiences
Individuals exploring emotional patterns or unresolved feelings
Anyone seeking insight into lifestyle, habits, or energy patterns that may influence well-being
Because the Body Code works with individual energetic patterns, each person’s experience is unique. Shifts may be subtle or more pronounced, and they can emerge immediately or gradually over time.
Practical Takeaways for Supporting Energy Balance
Even without a session, there are ways to explore and support energetic balance:
Notice recurring emotional patterns – Journaling or reflection can help bring subconscious feelings to awareness.
Observe physical cues – Tension, discomfort, or fatigue may indicate areas worth exploring.
Support nervous system regulation – Breathing exercises, meditation, and gentle movement can help release accumulated energy.
Maintain a balanced lifestyle – Sleep, hydration, nutrition, and exercise provide a foundation for energetic well-being.
The Body Code offers a structured approach to support these practices by helping individuals explore energetic patterns they may be holding.
How to Book a Session
Energy Rebalancing Sessions are available remotely and combine The Emotion Code® and Body Code™ techniques to support awareness and exploration of energetic patterns. During the session, you will speak directly with the practitioner, Sarah Parkins, to identify which areas your body is signaling for attention. Learn more about The Body Code™ here.
These sessions are intended to complement existing healthcare practices and support self-awareness. They are not a medical treatment, diagnosis, or cure.
In Summary
The Body Code is not a medical treatment or cure. It is a tool for exploring and potentially releasing energetic patterns that may influence well-being. Even small adjustments - like noticing emotional patterns, improving sleep, or supporting nutrition - can support overall energy awareness.
By providing a structured way to explore energy patterns, the Body Code can help create space for clarity, vitality, and personal insight.
