Functional Nutrition
Ideally the body gets everything it needs when you eat a well balanced diet. In New Zealand our soil is depleted in certain minerals. As a result, people tend to be deficient in Zinc, Magnesium, Selenium and Iodine. You may be eating foods normally rich these vitamins and co-factors but are not getting proper nourishment due to a number of things. It may as result of depleted soils, a reaction to herbicides, an imbalance in the gut, or the nervous system may not be functioning optimally which ultimately affects nourishment.
At Be Well we use muscle testing to determine what nutrients each unique body is specifically needing and provide a practitioner-only range of natural supplements along with nutritional guidance to help bring the body back into balance. We will test with the food or nutritional supplement directly for best results. We also use out of house laboratory testing (urine or saliva tests) for confirmation of hormonal, adrenal or nutritional deficiencies or imbalances.
Nutritional guidance along with chiropractic adjustments is part of our holistic approach to wellness at Be Well.
