Increase your potential with a naturopath integration

Tammy Worth June 12, 2018

Feature When Stéphane Provencher, DC, graduated from chiropractic college in 2007, he had plans of being a “doctor.” Not only did he want to work on subluxations but he planned to help patients improve their nutrition, cognition and overall health.

In order for nutrients contained in dietary supplements to effectively provide the important health benefits for which they are intended, it is critical that supplements are formulated with optimal absorption in mind. While this might appear obvious, the task can be easier said than done. Our digestive tract is essentially an aqueous environment, and although our bodies are equipped with systems (i.e, enzymes, bile acids, etc.) to assist with the absorption of fat and other compounds that are poorly soluble in water, there are numerous nutrients for which the body still has a very difficult time absorbing.

As we are starting to head into late spring, you should not be surprised that a large percentage of your patients are diligently trying to get in shape for summer. If this is the case, they are not alone. Rather, they are part of 97 million Americans who are actively on a diet. This translates into $66 billion dollars of revenue, overall.
