Foster offers nutritional testing and interventions through services provided by himself and his associates at a clinic in the Dadeland area of Miami. This program is also made available for people who can't come to the Miami clinic but can get their doctor to sign forms that facilitate the nutritional testing and recommendations by obtaining a blood sample from a doctor-ordered test, which is then submitted to Foster's body chemistry testing program for analysis. Jay Foster collects an impressive range of information about health and is frequently highly critical of conventional medicine and pharmaceutical approaches, often alerting his audience to health hazards contained in medications, food additives, beauty products, and household products.
