Wendi Lindsay, Certified Nutritionist
I believe all the nutrients the
human body needs to thrive could, and should be, obtained from
whole foods, clean water, fresh air and sunlight. Unfortunately,
the Standard American Diet (SAD) is centered around processed
foods void of nutritional value. Studies have revealed that most
Americans are deficient in nearly every nutrient except sodium!

When the body is
lacking proper nutrition, is stressed or is in a disordered
state, nutritional supplementation may be beneficial. I have
seen these benefits numerous times first hand as well as through
published research articles.
Nutritional supplementation can include herbal formulas,
minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and other compounds from
various plants. These are all simply labeled as dietary
supplements. They vary, however, in terms of quality and
content so it is wise to seek guidance to ensure you are
choosing the right ones for you and are actually getting what
you pay for.
At Matzner Chiropractic, we are proud to feature top-quality
supplements from Metagenics and
Creating Wellness Alliance. In fact, we are so sure of them,
that they are the very ones we take too! If you have questions
regarding which supplements would benefit you, please ask me. I
am happy to help!
Eat well and live beautifully!
