CLINICAL NUTRITION

At Schopp Nutrition & Chiropractic Clinic, we treat the “whole body.” Our goal is to find the root cause of your health problem. With a variety of testing, depending on the patient, we can determine the correct food supplements and herbs to help the body to improve. We can test in-office for specific tests, lab testing, or specialized nutrition lab testing. We also utilize our Heart Sound Monitor and Live Cell Microscope to view the blood live and see what nutrition the patient needs. By using the methods we have in the office, we can define a treatment plan that is individualized for each patient. Our goal is for each patient to feel better so that they can positively experience life.

The nutrients that we get from the foods we eat are the key to our health. We use primarily Standard Process Whole Food Supplements to increase the vitality of the body and bring it back to the health that we desire. Our philosophy is simple, give the body what it wants, and it will heal itself. The fact is that the food we eat has become depleted of the nutrients that it should have. Because of this, consumers have started to get over the counter supplements to improve their health. While this affects so far as how they feel, it is not a long-term impact in most cases. The supplements that they are using are synthetic or high potency fractionated. However, when it is in the form of whole food complexes, our bodies were designed to get our nutrition from food.

The best example of this is with Vitamin C. The FDA requires that marketed vitamin C contains ascorbic acid. This additive is only a component of the Vitamin C complex, like the shell of an egg, for example. Vitamin C in fruits and vegetables has some other elements that the body requires. Unfortunately, the additive is only a part of the Vitamin C complex. Unfortunately, in this case, other factors can be taking nutrients from different tissues and, with time, result in other deficiencies. It is because of this reason that we use Whole Food Supplements.
