Nutrition & Wellness Assessment at Dixon Family Chiropractic
A Personalized Roadmap to Better Gut Health, Hormone Balance, and Whole-Body Wellness
At Dixon Family Chiropractic, our Nutrition & Wellness Assessment helps uncover the underlying contributors to symptoms such as fatigue, digestive issues, anxiety, hormonal imbalance, inflammation, or chronic discomfort. Through a detailed health questionnaire and computerized appraisal graph, we identify priority systems in the body that may need targeted nutritional support. This data-driven approach allows our chiropractic team to create a personalized wellness plan that addresses your root causes and supports long-term healing.

How the Nutrition Appraisal Process Works
Our assessment begins with an online health questionnaire that measures patterns across multiple body systems including digestion, hormones, metabolism, mood, cognition, and immune function. Once completed, the results generate a Health Appraisal Graph, highlighting high, moderate, or low priority areas.
During your consultation, your chiropractor will review the findings with you, explain how these systems interact, and design a customized plan. For patients showing gut inflammation or digestive dysfunction, we may recommend targeted supplements to help restore the microbiome, reduce inflammation, and strengthen intestinal integrity. If symptoms have persisted for several months or years, we may also suggest food allergy testing or a guided elimination diet to pinpoint hidden triggers.
We emphasize the connection between gut health and mental well-being, teaching the principles of the gut-brain axis and how nutritional changes can support anxiety, mood, and cognitive balance. All recommendations are personalized and designed to complement your chiropractic care plan.
