Nutrition & Functional Testing

Precision‑Based Support for Energy, Digestion, Hormones, and Whole‑Body Wellness

Nutrition is not guesswork. When patients struggle with fatigue, inflammation, digestive issues, or hormonal changes, the most effective approach is targeted, data‑driven support. At Denny Chiropractic and Acupuncture, we use Designs for Health (DFH) functional testing to identify what your body needs — and what it doesn’t.

This approach removes trial‑and‑error and replaces it with clear, measurable information that guides supplement and lifestyle recommendations.
