Metabolic TreatmentsÂ
Your metabolic health is your health. Â Gaining and losing fat is metabolism, gaining muscle mass is metabolism. Â Immune function and gut health are metabolism. Â If your body is making or using energy that is metabolism. Â Even aging is dependent on your metabolism. Â This is greatly affected by your diet, exercise, hormones and supplementation routine. Very often the key to your overall health is found in your individual metabolic function.Â
When your metabolism goes off track, we see things like type II diabetes start to occur. Â If left too long we see this moving into Type III diabetes, also known as dementia and Alzheimer's. Very often we see issues with infertility, energy, mood, weight, anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD when our metabolism gets off as well.Â
The best way to get your individual metabolism back on track is to work with our team to first identify your specific needs. Â We can help customize a diet for you and give you recipes to ensure that you not only have foods, but have options of your favorite foods to eat. Â I know its hard to believe but you can be healthy and lose fat eating ice cream, pancakes, muffins, cookies, pie, pizza, and a lot of your other favorite foods. Â As youll hear us say over and over, its not that calories its the chemistry.Â
We use a mix of eastern and western testing and treatments to get you personally dialed in. Â The primary tests we do are QRA muscle testing, blood lab tests, DNA testing, sleep studies, CTA, and echocardiograms. Â The more we know about how your body functions the easier we can return it to original design and get you feeling your best.
We will then work with you overtime to dial in your specific metabolic needs to get you to your goals. Â
Chiropractic
Chiropractic philosophy is the basis for everything that we do here. Â Whether you're a championship level athlete or you just have pain in your neck or back, returning the body to functional alignment is critical for health. Â When your body is out of proper alignment this can create muscle spasms that compress nerves, and this creates pain. Â When the muscle spasms compress lymphatic ducts, this can cause inflammation to stop moving and this can create pain and illness. Â This is most commonly seen in ear infections.Â
When the joints stop moving properly over a period of time this can allow for degeneration and joint pain. Â If this goes on long enough, it can weaken muscles around the spine leading to things like herniated discs. Â After all there is only 1 reason that a disc will herniate, a force is put into the spine that the spine is too weak to handle, and the spine fails.Â
If you do end up with a herniated disc there is hope. Â The vast majority of herniated discs can be treated with decompression and chiropractic alleviating the pain and returning the ease of movement. Â Chalmers Wellness has seen an impressive 90% of the patients seen for herniated discs not require surgery to make a complete recovery.Â
Chiropractic is important to health for all ages and is not only safe but highly beneficial for pregnancy.  No matter what your physical goals are Chiropractic care needs to be part of your routine. Â
Hormone therapy
Your body runs on very specific chemicals, the hormones are the chemical communication system of the body. When the hormones get low or out of balance we will always have dysfunction and problems.  Replacing the hormones is important to maintain the way the body is trying to communicate.
For instance, Testosterone tells the body to heal and regenerate. Â It is responsible for muscle growth and repair, energy production, oxygen levels in the blood, sex drive, orgasm function, fat loss, mental clarity, and is really beneficial at reducing depression.Â
Progesterone helps increase blood flow to the uterus and is very helpful in increasing fertility and the chances of carrying a baby to term. Â Estrogen can be helpful with reducing hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness.Â
How these hormones work with your system and the levels you need to be optimal are often not the normal ranges. Â Just because a lab has a range does not mean that you are in an optimal space. Â Lab ranges are just averages of people they have tested. Â Its important that when working with hormones you understand the holistic function and apply the best use to reach your goals.Â
Our team has been working with hormones to improve quality of life and hit goals of all sorts for a decade and can help you achieve your goals no matter where your goals are set. Â We have worked with numerous pro bodybuilders, weekend warriors, and lots of women who just wanted to be as healthy and young feeling as possible.Â
Obviously not all of these people need the same hormones or the same levels. Â Be cautious of clinics that dont work with you on establishing your goals before recommending a hormone therapy protocol. Â This is not ever 1 size fits all.Â
Weight loss and GLP-1 like Ozempic
Losing weight is not just a vanity issue, it's more often than not important for health. Â It is critical that you establish a proper dietary intake based around your particular macro set. Â There is no perfect diet for people, however, there is a perfect diet for a person. Â It is also important to remember that if you take out the foods you enjoy then the diet will never be sustainable. Â
For this reason we always start with your 10 favorite foods and of course the 5 foods you never want to eat again to build your diet. Â If you change the ingredients in the foods you love its easy to add them into a healthy diet. Â Its very common to add pizza, ice cream, cookies, cakes, nachos, chocolate, into the diet. Â Remember its not the foods that are unhealthy its the chemicals that are in the foods.
Sometimes its faster or safer to use GLP-1 peptides like Ozempic or Wegovy to aid in fat loss. Â GLP-1 peptides activate a natural pathway the body uses to burn fat and produce energy. Â This pathway is the same system used during fasting and keto diets. Â However, sometimes people are not as sensitive to, or they underproduce, the hormone glucagon which the body uses to break down fat.
All of the horror stories you have heard with GLP-1 use, like muscle loss, liver gallbladder issues, stomach and intestinal problems, even emotional issues are easily prevented by maintaining proper body physiology. Â These issues only come up if the provider does not understand the biochemistry of the body. Â Unfortunately, most of the providers, especially the medical professionals, have no idea how the chemistry actually works. Â The easiest way to test is to ask if they base their diets in calories. Â If a provider is using calories as their energy source for the body, they do not understand any of the chemistry and you should avoid working with them.
This protocol has been designed to help lose fat and reset the body’s metabolic chemistry.  If you are type II diabetic we will work with you to correct the metabolic issues that create diabetes.  Type II diabetes is correctable and it is very important that you correct the issues causing you to be diabetic.Â
