Nutrition Services That Look At The Whole Picture

Personalized Care For Your Health Goals

Correction-focused care doesn't stop at the spine. What you eat, how your body absorbs nutrients, and whether hidden imbalances are working against you all play a role in how you feel day to day. That's why we offer a range of nutrition and wellness services designed to look beneath the surface and build a plan around what your body actually needs, not generic advice.

Whether you're trying to lose weight, feel more energized, or simply understand your health better, our nutrition and wellness services are built to work alongside your chiropractic care, not separately from it.

ChiroThin Weight Loss Program

For patients looking to lose weight in a structured, supported way, we offer the ChiroThin weight loss program. ChiroThin is a physician-formulated program built around a few core principles:

• A customized eating plan designed to support fat loss while preserving lean muscle
• Regular check-ins with our team to track progress and adjust as needed
• No reliance on stimulants, appetite suppressants, or extreme calorie restriction
• A structured timeline that helps patients build habits that last beyond the program itself

Many patients choose ChiroThin because it offers real accountability and support, rather than leaving them to figure out a weight loss plan entirely on their own.

OligoScan Mineral And Toxicity Testing

We also offer OligoScan testing, a quick, non-invasive scan that measures mineral levels and screens for certain toxins in the body. The scan itself takes just a few minutes and requires no needles or lab work.

So many everyday symptoms, including fatigue, muscle tension, trouble sleeping, or difficulty losing weight, can be tied to underlying mineral imbalances that never show up on a standard checkup. OligoScan gives Dr. Stickel and Dr. Amador-Gaxiola a clearer, more objective picture of what's actually happening inside the body, which means less guesswork and a more targeted plan of care from the very first visit.

Functional Medicine Testing

For patients who want to dig even deeper, we offer functional medicine testing, including:

• Fatty acid blood testing, which can reveal inflammation and imbalances that affect energy, joint health, and recovery
• Urine testing, which can help identify nutritional deficiencies and how well the body is processing certain nutrients

These tests are especially helpful for patients who have been dealing with symptoms that haven't fully resolved with other approaches. Rather than treating symptoms individually, functional medicine testing helps us understand what might be driving them in the first place.

How These Services Work Together

Most patients don't need every service we offer, and that's the point. During your consultation, Dr. Stickel or Dr. Amador-Gaxiola will talk through your specific goals and history to figure out which combination makes sense for you. For some patients, that might mean starting with an OligoScan to rule out mineral imbalances. For others, ChiroThin might be the right first step toward a weight loss goal, with functional medicine testing added later if symptoms persist.

The goal is always the same: build a plan around what your body needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
