Nutrition for Patients

We live in a time of fluctuation, seemingly limitless choices and varying stress levels. While in a perfect world we might be able to get all the nutrients we need from our food this in not the case for most of us. Eating on the run, fast food, depleted soil, GMO products, skipping meals, extreme stress levels, high activity levels and inconsistent eating habits all make it difficult to consistently make the best food choices.

While we strive to maintain balance in our lives and diet we often fall short, here is where nutritional supplementation can be helpful. We also find that nutritional supplements can be helpful in a variety of other ways including: preventing illness, increasing immune system function, maintaining a better stare of internal homeostasis/balance, supplying vital nutrients lacking in our diet, supplying nutrients needed to repair tissue damage, as an adjunct to reverse, cure or minimize a disease process and as a source of added support for your active lifestyle.

We at Wellesley Chiropractic Office are dedicated to supporting your health care choices and assisting you in making those choices that are in your best interests. To assist you in meeting your health care goals, to support a healthy functioning system, Dr. Erin Rosen offers our patients a specific, detailed nutritional consultation and analysis. After the evaluation an individualized supplement/vitamin program will be recommended that will afford you the greatest opportunity to become a healthier you. Please check with one of the doctors or the front desk if you are interested. (Initial consultation: $125, follow-up consultations: $50 - this service is ONLY available for our active patients)

Both Dr. Rosens will be happy to help you with your nutritional concerns and offer basic as well as more comprehensive nutrition testing. Below you will also find some nutritional suggestions for general use.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at welleselychiro@gmail.com.

Aren’t All Supplements the Same?

This is a question that we hear often. The simple answer is “no.” The reason we have our patients special-order supplements is because the generic brands simply do not have the potency or effectiveness that the supplements we recommend have. It is true that supplements bought “over-the-counter” may be less expensive in some instances, but that comes at a cost to your health. The supplements and companies we use have been researched, tested and tested again to make sure that they are safe and effective. Their standard of care and quality has been tested over time. You can be sure that each supplement and ingredient has been tested allowing us to be sure that what we recommend is safe and effective. In nutrition as in life it is quality not quantity that truly counts. Spending less but needing more or even worse ineffective supplements does not lead to a healthy end.

Our suppliers offer a variety of nutritional options including: herbal products, whole food supplements, vegetarian and vegan options, glandulars and nutriceuticals. This gives each patient not only the highest quality supplements available but also a specificity based on individual need, philosophy, physiological response and bioavailablility.

These supplements are not found at your local pharmacy or health food store. The products we offer meet higher and independently verified standards of effectiveness, quality and purity. If you are currently following a personally designed nutritional program from our office you can order the supplements directly on-line and either have them shipped to you or to our office for pick up. If you currently take supplements or want some general nutritional support from tested, high quality manufacturers you can also take advantage of the above options.

For your convenience we have listed some general supplementation guidelines to help you determine what best suits your needs. If you would like a specific nutritional program designed especially for you or you have specific health (organic) concerns please contact our office directly and we will set up a time for your evaluation (this service is ONLY offered to our active patients)
