FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

AAT treatments are designed to address symptoms caused by inappropriate reactions to harmless substances or stimuli. However, there are specific cases where AAT is not effective:

1. Pathogen-related Conditions: AAT cannot treat symptoms caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites, as these do not involve inappropriate reactions but rather infections that require other forms of treatment.

2. Intolerances: AAT does not treat intolerances, which result from deficiencies rather than reactions. For example, lactose intolerance, caused by a lack of the lactase enzyme needed to digest lactose, cannot be treated by AAT. However, if dairy-related symptoms are due to a sensitivity to milk or other dairy components, AAT can be highly effective. In cases where lactose intolerance and dairy sensitivity coexist, AAT may offer partial relief.

3. Anaphylaxis or Life-threatening Symptoms: AAT does NOT treat cases of anaphylaxis or life-threatening symptoms. In such cases, strict avoidance is strongly advised. 

While AAT is effective in treating many symptoms associated with allergies or sensitivities, certain cases may not respond to the treatment.

AAT addresses one allergen family per treatment, so the total number of treatments depends on how many allergen families are involved in the reaction. Each treatment is thorough, identifying and targeting specific components within the allergen family, down to the protein molecule.

For example, allergen families can include categories like dust, dairy, or grasses. Within each family, we identify and address all the components that trigger reactions, ensuring a comprehensive treatment. While many allergen families can be treated in a single visit, some may require multiple sessions to fully resolve.

For conditions such as chronic sinusitis or IBS, which often involve several allergen families, 5 to 12 treatments may be necessary, depending on the complexity of the case.

The AAT Initial Session typically lasts between 40 minutes to 1 hour and includes the following steps:

• Completing the patient’s health intake form
• Testing for all relevant substances contributing to the patient's symptoms
• Explaining how the AAT treatment works
• Establishing a full treatment plan
• Administering the first AAT treatment

Follow-up AAT Sessions usually take about 20 to 30 minutes and include:

• Checking the patient's symptom progress
• Reassessing the previous AAT treatment
• Administering a treatment for a new allergen family

The duration of each session may vary depending on the practitioner’s preference and whether the clinic has front desk staff for patient check-out. Treatment times can be customized based on the practitioner’s approach.

Many patients experience symptom relief within 24 hours for reactions related to a single substance. Conditions such as sinusitis or irritable bowel syndrome often show improvement after the first few treatments. However, each case is unique and may require additional sessions for full resolution. As with any healthcare approach, some cases may not respond to treatment.

No, your patients should continue taking any prescribed medications from their doctor. There’s also no need to discontinue over-the-counter medications before receiving AAT treatment.

No, there are no age restrictions. AAT is safe and effective for individuals of all ages, from infants to those over 100 years old.

No, traditional allergy testing is not required before receiving AAT treatment. However, if your patient has had allergy tests done by their doctor, they are encouraged to bring the results to their appointment.

No, AAT does not perform traditional allergy tests. Instead, AAT uses a Stress Assessment (Muscle Response Test) to identify substances that are causing stress on the body’s systems and contributing to the patient's symptoms.

As with any medical treatment, AAT cannot guarantee results for every patient. While many patients experience significant relief from their symptoms, individual outcomes can vary based on factors such as the nature of the symptoms, the patient’s overall health, and how their body responds to treatment. It is also possible that some symptoms may persist or new symptoms could arise, as each patient’s case is unique. Our goal is to provide effective care, but it’s important to recognize that results can differ from person to person.

Not at all! AAT doesn’t use acupuncture or needles. Instead, it uses a painless acupressure technique that’s safe and effective for patients of all ages. It’s completely non-invasive and gentle, which is one of the things both practitioners and patients really appreciate about the process. No needles, no discomfort, just gentle pressure along the spine. It’s one of the reasons AAT works so well with kids and anyone who’s needle-averse.

AAT is designed to be straightforward from start to finish. The proprietary software guides you through every step of the process with a structured workflow, so you're never guessing what to do next. The step-by-step guided protocols make you an instant expert, even if you've never treated allergy and sensitivity symptoms before. The stress assessment process is simple and easy to learn, the acupressure technique is gentle and non-invasive, and the digital signal library does the heavy lifting for you—no need to stock vials or manage physical inventory. Sessions follow a consistent, repeatable structure that becomes second nature after just a few treatments. Plus, the training is designed to get you confident and comfortable quickly, and our support team is always available if questions come up. Most practitioners feel ready to deliver sessions within the first few weeks of completing training. It's not complicated, it's not overwhelming, and it's built to integrate smoothly into your existing workflow.

Absolutely! Many practitioners discover that their existing patients have undiagnosed allergies and sensitivities that are contributing to symptoms they’ve been struggling to resolve. When you add AAT to your practice, you can reassess your current patients’ needs and address underlying sensitivities that may have been limiting their progress. For example, a patient coming in for chronic digestive issues might have underlying food sensitivities you weren’t addressing before. A patient with recurring headaches might be reacting to environmental allergens. By incorporating AAT, you’re giving yourself another powerful tool to get better outcomes for patients who weren’t responding as well as you’d hoped. It’s not about replacing what you’re already doing—it’s about complementing your existing treatments and filling in gaps that were limiting results. A lot of practitioners find this is one of the most rewarding parts of adding AAT. You’re finally able to help patients who were stuck.

The pricing for AAT treatments is determined independently by each practitioner, allowing you the freedom to set your own fees. Generally, observed prices range from $170 to $350 for the initial session and approximately $105 to $175 for subsequent follow-up appointments.

Yes, the AAT Expert System is designed for mobility and flexibility, allowing it to be used across multiple locations as it operates on a laptop.

AAT software updates are performed remotely, and the fee for each update is generally around $395.

Not at all! Whether you’re completely new to treating allergy and sensitivity symptoms or you’re a seasoned practitioner looking to expand your expertise, AAT is designed to work for you. We’ll share the AAT framework with you so you can become a successful practitioner, improving patient results, making great money, and changing lives—including your own. You’ll learn how to resolve challenging conditions like food sensitivities, chronic sinusitis, seasonal allergies, digestive symptoms, and skin conditions to get better results for your patients. The AAT Expert System is simple to administer, and most patients see long-term relief after 24 hours. Our step-by-step guided protocols make you an instant expert, so you’re not spending years figuring it out on your own.

We are deeply committed to your success as an AAT practitioner, providing both clinical and marketing support. After completing your training, you'll have access to bi-monthly online Q&A sessions where you can ask about treatments, cases, and protocols as often as needed. Additionally, we offer a range of marketing materials via the AAT Practitioner Portal to help you promote AAT to your patients.

We also ensure direct, personalized communication through real-time discussions with our team, either in person or via our private AAT Facebook group.

The AAT training is delivered through the AAT Practitioner Portal in an online, on-demand format, making it flexible for busy practitioners. The training is designed to be completed within 3 weeks and is divided into a series of sequential modules, allowing practitioners to progress at their own pace within a weekly structure.

The training is organized into three main sections:

1. Initial Training Modules: After completing the first section, practitioners participate in a 2-hour, one-on-one online session with an AAT trainer. This session focuses on refining the treatment technique, including stress testing (muscle testing), reviewing the entire treatment protocol, and addressing any questions. Practitioners are required to have a practice patient for this session.

2. Practice Treatments: Following the first section, it is recommended that practitioners conduct 5 to 10 practice treatments on friends or family to gain hands-on experience. These treatments are performed in conjunction with completing the remaining training modules.

3. Ongoing Support: To ensure a thorough understanding of the material, weekly online Q&A sessions are available for additional guidance and clarification throughout the training process.

This structure ensures that practitioners are fully prepared to perform AAT treatments with confidence and accuracy.

Absolutely! You are welcome to hire additional practitioners to perform AAT treatments on your behalf. Many AAT practitioners do this to meet the growing demand for treatments. However, it’s important that the professionals you hire hold a valid license in one of the following fields: MD, DO, DC, L.Ac, ND, RN, NP, or PA.

Once hired, these licensed professionals must complete the AAT training provided by our team to ensure they are fully equipped and meet the required standards for administering AAT treatments.

All practitioners must complete the official training provided by the AAT training team. Current AAT practitioners are not permitted to personally train others in the AAT system. To ensure consistency, quality, and the highest standards of care, it is essential that all practitioners go through the standardized AAT training program. This guarantees they gain the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively administer AAT treatments.

Yes, AAT practitioners are required to undergo re-certification every four years. This ensures that they remain current with the latest advancements in AAT practices, techniques, and protocols. The re-certification process helps practitioners enhance their skills, deepen their understanding of the treatment, and maintain a high standard of care for their patients.

Additionally, to be included in the AAT practitioner directory, you must keep your certifications up to date. This requirement not only fosters a commitment to ongoing professional development but also ensures that patients can find qualified practitioners who are dedicated to delivering effective and safe treatments. By participating in re-certification, practitioners demonstrate their dedication to providing the best possible outcomes for their patients.

The cost for re-certification is $595.

Your income potential with AAT will depend on several factors, including how your practice is structured—whether you administer the treatments yourself or hire additional practitioners—and the rates you choose to charge.

Promoting the AAT treatments within an established practice can be seamless and highly effective, often without the need for extensive external marketing. Since your current patients may already experience allergy and sensitivity symptoms, informing them about AAT, its benefits, and the conditions it addresses can quickly generate interest. AAT is a painless therapy suitable for all ages, making it an appealing option for many.

To support your marketing efforts, we offer pre-designed brochures and postcards to educate your patients about AAT and its benefits. Our exclusive 90-day Kickstart Marketing program provides step-by-step guidance on promoting AAT to your existing patients, including pre-written email sequences, blog posts, strategies for gathering patient testimonials, implementing referral programs, and fostering repeat business.

For long-term success, we also offer a 12-month "Done-For-You" social media content and planning guide to help you map out engaging content for the year, ensuring consistency in your marketing efforts.

With these tools and strategies, your practice can effectively promote AAT, engage existing patients, and attract new ones.

When starting a new practice, incorporating AAT provides significant opportunities due to its broad range of treatment options and the high demand for these services. To establish your practice effectively, consider connecting with other practitioners in your area to explore cross-referral opportunities. By collaborating with other healthcare professionals, you can access their existing patient base and offer AAT treatments that complement their services. This creates cross-marketing opportunities and promotes a more comprehensive approach to patient care.

For marketing your new practice, we provide several valuable resources. These include a PowerPoint presentation for public talks, designed to attract new patients, along with email templates and social media strategies to promote your clinic and generate interest. Initially treating friends and family is a great way to gain experience and demonstrate AAT’s effectiveness. As they experience positive results, they will be happy to share their experiences with others, helping to build your reputation and expand your client base. Word-of-mouth referrals are a powerful way to grow your practice and attract new patients.

AAT gives you a significant competitive edge. First, you’re offering a solution for a massive underserved market—over 30% of adults and 40% of children suffer from allergies and sensitivities, and most conventional approaches only manage symptoms rather than address the root cause. Second, AAT is completely non-invasive with no needles, no medications, and no long treatment timelines, appealing to patients seeking natural alternatives. Third, you’re backed by a proprietary digital signal library of 89,000+ substances and step-by-step guided protocols that make you an instant expert in treating allergy and sensitivity symptoms—giving you a level of specificity most practitioners can’t match. Fourth, it’s 100% cash-based, so you’re offering premium, results-focused care outside the insurance-driven market. Finally, year-round revenue sets you apart. While other practices slow seasonally, you’re addressing food sensitivities, environmental allergens, and chemicals all year. You become the go-to expert for allergy relief in your community.

This is one of the most powerful benefits of adding AAT. When you become known as an allergy and sensitivity expert in your community, you attract a completely new patient demographic—people who are actively seeking relief from allergies but might never have considered your practice before. For example, a chiropractor offering AAT will attract patients who wouldn’t have thought about chiropractic care, but once they’re in your clinic experiencing results from AAT, they’re exposed to your other services and often become long-term patients. The same applies to acupuncturists, naturopaths, and other practitioners. AAT opens the door to patients outside your typical referral base. They come in for allergy relief, but they leave understanding the full scope of what you offer. Many practitioners find that their overall patient volume increases significantly because AAT is bringing in people who would have never walked through the door otherwise. It’s a powerful way to expand your reach and grow your practice beyond your current patient profile.

Yes, and in a few different ways. First, since AAT is 100% cash-based, you’re not spending hours on insurance paperwork, claim submissions, or fighting for reimbursements. That administrative burden just disappears. Second, you have flexibility in how you structure your practice. Many practitioners start part-time, dedicating just a few appointment slots per week to AAT, and scale up as demand grows. You can also hire additional licensed practitioners to deliver sessions for you, which means you can generate revenue without personally delivering every treatment. Third, the year-round demand means steady, predictable income without the seasonal ups and downs that disrupt planning. You’re not constantly chasing new patients or scrambling to fill your schedule. AAT gives you the ability to build a practice that works for your life, not the other way around.

In addition to the initial investment, there are a few additional fees you may encounter:

• Software Updates: A fee starting at $395 will apply for AAT software updates, depending on the scope of the update.
• Replacement or Extra Cuffs: Each additional or replacement cuff for the AAT software costs $175 (plus shipping).
• Software Reinstallation: If you experience a computer crash or upgrade your system, a $150 fee will be charged for reinstallation of the AAT software.
• AAT Certification: Re-certification is required every two years to help practitioners remain current with the latest advancements in AAT practices, techniques, and protocols. The current fee for re-certification is $595

No. AAT does not charge annual fees or royalties.

We currently do not offer options for payment plans.

Many AAT practitioners have successfully repaid their loans within the first six months. In fact, the monthly loan payment can often be covered by treating just one to two AAT patients per week, making the integration of AAT into your practice a highly beneficial and financially sustainable choice.

Actually, AAT helps control operational costs rather than increase them. Here’s why: it’s a cash-based service, so you’re eliminating all the administrative overhead that comes with insurance billing—no staff time spent on claim submissions, pre-authorizations, follow-ups, or appeals. The equipment is compact and fits in a standard treatment room, so you don’t need additional space or costly build-outs. There’s no physical inventory to manage, no vials to stock, no supplies to reorder constantly. The digital signal library means everything you need is in the software. You’re not hiring additional administrative staff to handle AAT—your front desk can manage scheduling and check-in with minimal training using the Front Desk Handbook we provide. The main ongoing costs are software updates every other year (starting at $395) and recertification every 4 years ($595). That’s it. Meanwhile, you’re generating premium cash revenue with practitioners charging $170-$350 for initial sessions and $105-$175 for follow-ups. AAT actually improves your operational efficiency while adding a significant revenue stream.
