The human body needs to be given certain things in order to fully maximize its healing potential. It needs to be subluxation free to allow for unimpeded function of the nervous system. It needs fresh air and sunlight, exercise and rest, and it needs to be fed proper foods and pure water. Steering towards diets high in raw fruits and vegetables, preferably local, and low in processed foods, animal fats, and sugar will help to ensure a cleaner running body.

Unfortunately our soil in the U.S. is so depleted of necessary vitamins and minerals that it is a MUST to get them from another source. Therefore enhancing our diets with high-quality supplements is crucial.

Choosing Supplements

There are several different approaches to finding a supplement program that will work best for you individually. One of the best approaches to streamlining a supplement program is to take a nutrigenetics test. Nutrigenetics is a science of gene – diet interactions. Science is applied to help you understand the impact of your own genes in response to your dietary and lifestyle choices. Nutrigenetic testing is a method that helps identify your own unique genetic variations so that we can provide you with dietary and lifestyle recommendations that can empower you to take control of your own health and well-being. For more information on taking a nutrigenetic test, click this link Gene SNP.

Another approach is to take a Nutri-Physical. We provide this free service at the office, or you can click the Nutri-Physical link to take it on your own computer. The Nutri-Physical is a questionnaire about your current diet and lifestyle. When you are finished answering the questions a list of recommendations will appear.

Let’s talk quality of supplements. The old adage “you get what you pay for” surely applies here. Supplements in tablet form must dissolve in the stomach before absorption takes place. They lose their effectiveness as the powerful stomach acids break them down and dilute them. By the time they are ready to be absorbed, some forty minutes later, they may contain thirty to forty percent of the nutrients. We recommend Isotonic-Capable supplements. Isotonic-Capable supplements are simply the most effective means of delivering the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients the body needs daily. You get ninety to ninety-five percent of the nutrients with this delivery method. We chose to offer nutraMetrix Advanced Nutraceuticals for our patients.
