Achieve Your Wellness Goals with Birmingham Chiropractic Care

Don’t give up on your New Year’s resolutions! It’s not too late to get back on track. Here’s how our Homewood chiropractor can help:

#1: Eliminate bad dietary habits. Whether you want to lose weight or simply kick a bad dietary habit to the curb, nutritional counseling is the first step towards a healthier diet. Our nutritionist will evaluate your current diet and create a customized plan to help you integrate healthier habits into your diet. By pinpointing unhealthy habits, our nutritionist can help you replace these habits with better eating choices that will naturally help you lose weight.

#2: Eat more whole foods. Did you know that many so-called ‘diet’ foods are actually not healthy choices? Low-fat diet foods, for example, are often packed with preservatives, artificial sugars and other filler ingredients. These diets foods spike blood sugar, leaving you hungry and irritable afterwards. As part of our nutritional counseling services, our nutritionist will help you incorporate more whole foods, including fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins into your diet. Fiber and protein will keep you feeling full longer and give you the fuel to get through your busy day, helping you curb unhealthy snacking habits.

#3: Get moving. While exercise is an important component to long-term weight loss, if your body is not used to regular exercise, you may be at risk for injury. A diagnostic evaluation from our Homewood chiropractor, along with hands-on Birmingham chiropractic adjustments, will help reduce the risk for possible injury.
