Functional Nutrition
Patients come to our office for many reasons: pain, fatigue, stress, digestion issues, and hormone imbalances, just to name a few. Many of the health imbalances patients suffer from are due to physical stress. But what happens when the chiropractic adjustment alone isn’t enough to improve the patient’s problem? We must dig deeper and look for the secondary cause of a patient’s symptoms. Many times that cause is due to stress on organs, toxicity, or nutritional deficiencies.
Dr. Whitaker uses many tools to find and address stress, toxicities, and nutritional deficiencies. The majority of patients we see are burdened with symptoms that are commonly due to the Standard American Diet and busy stressful lives. Poor diet and stress lead to pain, arthritis, high cholesterol, diabetes, hypothyroidism, infertility, weight gain, and many other conditions. The treatment for most patients includes diet and whole food supplement recommendations.
