Question

Dr. Gabrielle Manto, DC · Answer

The question is, are there any dietary or lifestyle changes that you recommend in conjunction with chiropractic work for digestive issues? So we always refer out to either registered dieticians, naturopathic doctors, functional medicine doctors to make sure that you are getting the correct advice when it comes to diet and nourishment that is specific for each individual. Not every diet is for every individual or every person, so we want to make sure that we are referring to the proper provider to help navigate that area of your health. Yes, there are dietary and lifestyle factors that improve or work beautifully in conjunction with the chiropractic adjustment that can overall help with digestive issues. Lifestyle factors, again, making sure that you're moving your body, making sure that we're getting good quality sleep, making sure that we're eliminating or decreasing our toxic load, which means that we're decreasing the amount of chemicals that we're exposed to to the best of our ability and what we have in control, what we can control each and every day. So whether that looks like the products that we use on our skin, in our hair, for our laundry, our cleaning products, so on and so forth, that all adds extra stress to the nervous system. And then we know that the nervous system is our foundational system of the body. So if the nervous system is out of balance or out of sync, again, this can cause digestive issues. But again, we always make sure that we are referring to the proper provider to help with the dietary piece specifically. And then, again, lifestyle factors, decreasing toxic load, and then making sure that we're getting good sleep, and then overall moving our bodies.
