Functional Nutrition at Schimke Chiropractic
Food is medicine—but only when it’s perfectly matched to your unique body, lifestyle, and health goals. Through our functional nutrition program, I help you discover how the right nutritional approach can transform your health, energy levels, and overall quality of life. This isn’t about following the latest diet trend or counting calories. It’s about understanding why your body responds the way it does and using targeted nutrition to restore balance.
I’ve seen patients struggle for years with unexplained symptoms, only to find relief through personalized nutritional strategies. When we address the root causes of dysfunction rather than just managing symptoms, remarkable healing can occur.
My Philosophy on Food and Healing
Rather than asking, “What disease does this person have?” I ask, “Why is this happening, and how can nutrition help restore balance?” This approach recognizes that your body is incredibly intelligent and capable of healing when given the right tools.
You’ll experience a completely different kind of nutritional counseling here. Instead of generic diet advice, I focus on understanding your unique physiology and creating a personalized plan that supports your body’s natural healing processes.
Addressing Conditions and Achieving Goals Through Therapeutic Nutrition
Functional nutrition can support you in managing and improving a wide range of health concerns, including:
- Digestive issues such as bloating, IBS, and reflux
- Weight challenges and metabolic imbalances
- Blood sugar dysregulation and prediabetes
- Autoimmune conditions and chronic fatigue
- Persistent inflammation and joint pain
- Detox support and food sensitivity identification
- Healthy aging and overall wellness optimization
I don’t treat diseases—I treat people who want to take an active role in their wellness.
Integrating Nutrition into Your Care
Your nutritional assessment begins with a detailed review of your health history, current symptoms, existing lab work, and lifestyle factors. This helps me uncover underlying imbalances that might be contributing to your concerns.
When appropriate, I partner with trusted laboratories to run specialized tests that go beyond standard bloodwork. These may include:
- Food sensitivity panels
- Gut microbiome analyses
- Hormone profiles
- Inflammation markers
These deeper insights allow for a more precise and effective care plan.
You’ll receive a customized nutrition plan tailored to your specific goals. When needed, I recommend professional-grade supplements to support healing and fill nutritional gaps that diet alone can’t address.
The Power of Combined Care
Functional nutrition enhances the results of chiropractic care by reducing systemic inflammation, improving energy and tissue repair, and supporting overall body function. By addressing both structural and nutritional imbalances, patients often experience faster, more lasting results.
For example, one patient came to us struggling with fatigue, bloating, and weight gain despite eating what she considered a healthy diet. After identifying imbalances in her gut health and blood sugar regulation, we created a personalized plan with targeted food changes and specific supplements. Within weeks, her energy improved dramatically. Within months, she lost 18 pounds, her digestive issues resolved, and combined with chiropractic care, she felt “like herself again” for the first time in years.
