Personalized Nutrition & Functional Health Testing
At our chiropractic clinic, we combine evidence-based functional testing with personalized nutrition strategies to help identify the root causes of inflammation, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and chronic discomfort. These insights allow us to create customized nutrition plans that support your chiropractic care, speed recovery, and improve long-term wellness.
Why Functional Testing Matters
Functional health testing provides objective information about what is happening inside the body. This helps us uncover the underlying contributors to pain, fatigue, digestive symptoms, slow recovery, and metabolic stress. By understanding your body’s biochemistry, we can tailor nutrition and lifestyle strategies to accelerate healing.
Types of Functional Tests We Offer
Food Sensitivity Panels
Food sensitivity testing identifies immune-mediated reactions that may contribute to inflammation, bloating, fatigue, skin issues, and chronic digestive discomfort. With this information, we can personalize your nutrition plan to reduce irritation and support gut healing.
GI-MAP & Microbiome Evaluations
A GI-MAP stool analysis provides detailed information about your microbiome, digestion, pathogens, beneficial bacteria, and markers of inflammation. This test is especially useful for individuals experiencing IBS-like symptoms, chronic bloating, irregular bowel movements, or immune challenges.
Hormone Assessments
Hormonal testing (saliva or dried urine) evaluates cortisol rhythms, sex hormones, and stress response patterns. These findings help us understand how hormonal shifts may be influencing pain, sleep, mood, metabolism, and daily energy levels.
