Thousand Oaks Chiropractor Helps Patients Optimize Health through Nutritional Counseling

The right balance of nutrients and supplements is essential to keeping our bodies healthy. Every body is different, and depending on your lifestyle and wellness needs, you will have different nutritional requirements from your friend or spouse. That’s why Dr. Dollase's nutritional counseling & weight loss programs is so successful – her programs are personalized for each patient. We don’t rely on fad diets for weight loss. Instead, our counseling services are part of long-term lifestyle changes that promote a return to natural foods and whole body wellness.

Dr. Dollase uses Functional Intracellular Testing to determine which nutrients your body needs. These lab tests evaluate deficiencies on a cellular level. Since the cells are the building blocks for your body, if they do not have the right nutrients, their metabolic functions may be compromised. These nutrient deficiencies suppress immune system function and can lead to everything from heart disease and cancer to diabetes and arthritis. By determining your specific nutrient deficiencies, Dr. Dollase can design a customized dietary program that will restore balance at the cellular level and optimize your health and help you with weight loss and it's challenges.

In addition to the right balance of nutrients, detoxification is also an important part of weight loss. Between the air we breathe, the water we drink and the foods we eat, our bodies are filled with toxins. The liver, kidneys and other organs in the body naturally filter many of these toxins from our bloodstreams. But, an increase in environmental toxins, such as polluted air and preservative-filled food, has lead to toxin overload. When our bodies are unable to filter out all the toxins, our body systems slowly begin to breakdown. Detox is essential to rebooting our bodies and firing up our metabolism. As part of our nutritional counseling services, our Thousand Oaks chiropractor can recommend safe, effective detox diets. Detoxing not only helps our bodies with weight loss, but also increases energy levels and reduces the incidence of allergies, pain and illness.

For example, the incidence of migraines has increased dramatically in the last 20 years. While it’s easy to blame our caffeine-addicted society (crashing after too much coffee or diet soda is a leading cause of headaches, the high levels of toxins in our bodies are also responsible. Detox diets can help reduce the incidence of headache and migraine pain naturally.

Our nutritional counseling can also speed recovery times, following an injury and reduce pain. For example, inflammation in the body increases pain. Antioxidants found in berries, fruits and vegetables naturally fight inflammation, which can help reduce pain from the inside out. If you are have a soft tissue injury, a diet rich in lean proteins will provide your body with the amino acid building blocks necessary to repairing muscles and other soft tissues.
