The George J. Goodheart Scholarship in AK is a newly established program to help further the advancement of the scientific foundation of Chiropractic, alternative health care, and Applied Kinesiology. The scholarships are awarded at various schools, and each is hosted by a different sponsor. The Southern California University of Health Services (SCUHS) sponsor, Metagenics, Inc., was founded in 1983 and is the leading developer of natural, science-based nutriceuticals. Their mission is to help patients "achieve their genetic potential through targeted nutrition." For more information on Metagenics, visit their website at www.metagenics.com.

The scholarship's namesake, Dr. George Goodheart, a chiropractor, developed a new system of evaluation in chiropractic during the 1960s. He found that assessment of normal and abnormal body function could be accomplished by using muscle tests. Since the original discovery, the use of muscle testing has been applied to over 30 different therapeutic systems to evaluate which therapy is appropriate for each patient. This system is called "applied kinesiology" or AK. Dr. Goodheart has annually published his observations since 1964 and regularly produces audio tapes with current information. He has published You'll Be Better, The Story of Applied Kinesiology, which describes his contribution to AK. Dr. Goodheart was the first chiropractor to be officially appointed to the Sports Medicine Modalities Committee of the US Olympic Committee, and he served at the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympics, as well as the first ICAK-USA Research Director, a position he retains today.
