Portland Nutrition Counseling and Holistic Care
from Family Chiropractors

Most of us know when our bodies are not functioning as they should. Wellness is a whole body state, and if one area of our health is out of focus then other areas are often suffering as well. At Health Touch Chiropractic, we are family chiropractor committed to helping our patients reach a new state of overall wellness and vitality through holistic care. One of the ways we are able to do this is through a program called Take Shape for Life.

Take Shape for Life encourages our patients to lose extra weight that is damaging their health, to institute new healthy habits, and to give them the tools to maintain their healthy weight and new lifestyle.This weight loss program is utilized by over 15,000 medical professionals and holistic care clinics around the country to help ordinary people achieve extraordinary results.

As a family chiropractor, we are able to provide the coaching and support needed to not only improve wellness but keep injury from happening in the future. Through proper health our bodies react better to stress, physical activity, climate changes, and anxiety. Take Shape for Life makes a great addition to other lifestyle changes and chiropractic treatments our patients are already undergoing.

Two Key Components to Nutrition and Wellness:
Body Mass Index and Supplements

No two bodies are alike. That is why Take Shape for Life encourages weight loss through a system called the Body Mass Index. Instead of focusing only on pounds or inches, the BMI system takes into account to find a height versus weight ratio that is just right for optimum health. A BMI calculation of higher than 25 is considered unhealthy, although at a minimum risk. A BMI over 35 and serious changes in lifestyle are needed to lose the weight and increase health, as this calculation signals obesity, a high risk for diabetes, a high risk for heart disease, and (ultimately) death.

Another important component to Take Shape for Life is supplements. With the way food is manufactured today, there is no possible way for us as human beings to get the exact vitamins and minerals we need for optimum nutrition. That is why we highly encourage all of our patients, whether a part of the Take Shape for life plan or not, to take supplements daily as part of a rehabilitation and weight loss regiment. Most people notice a large change in how they feel only a few days after incorporating supplementation into their daily routine.

Why just live an ordinary life when you can live a great life and feel amazing?
