Whole Health Nutrition

At Whole Health Partners our patients are urged to look at what they put into their body very carefully. You are what you eat!!!!

The nervous system is the master control system of the human body. This is a well-known fact. Through a complex collection of neurotransmitters, hormones, and biochemical reactions, it is our nervous system's job to monitor the trillions of cells in our body and to maintain control of this complex system through a process called homeostasis. Our bodies are composed of approximately 75 percent water. Each of these 6 trillion plus cells in our bodies is composed mostly of fluid and also individually surrounded by fluid. This fluid is a complex matrix of electrolytes, biochemical compounds, waste products of metabolism, and toxins. Our nervous system constantly strives to maintain a life-sustaining balance in this extremely complex and ever-changing environment.

The chiropractic profession is based on trying to maintain homeostasis through the nervous system by reducing mechanical irritation from the nervous system caused by the subluxation complex. It is becoming increasingly apparent that to further promote our nervous system's ability to maintain homeostasis, nutritional considerations must be evaluated as well. Science is showing that the nutritional value of the food we eat is being negatively altered by production, manufacturing, and storage processes used in mass producing food. We are also continually getting exposed to harmful chemical agents through the food we eat. Many of these agents become locked inside our bodies and become more concentrated over time. The harmful effects of many of these agents are still not fully understood. We also get exposed to harmful chemical agents through the air we breathe and the water we drink. These toxic agents that we are continually exposed to, along with the decreased nutritional value of the food we eat, make our nervous system’s ability to maintain homeostasis very difficult. When homeostasis is negatively altered our quality of life diminishes and disease starts.

Nutrition is a very complex subject. Many books and articles have been written regarding what is proper nutrition. We are all told that we should be taking this or that but how do we know? Our office has the ability to assess your nutritional needs through a simple blood and urine analysis called a Comprehensive Metabolic Profile. This test will provide us with important information such as which foods your body may be allergic to that you should avoid, which nutritional compounds need to be increased in your diet and also witch compounds need to be decreased. In other words, a customized nutritional assessment based on your individual needs. Once the proper nutritional balance is restored, your nervous system can begin to operate more efficiently in trying to achieve homeostasis. Call our office today to set up an appointment for a Comprehensive Metabolic Profile. Your quality of life depends on it!
