Nutritional Counseling
Fuel Your Health. Balance Your Body. Empower Your Healing.
​
At Bray Chiropractic & Wellness, nutritional counseling goes beyond basic meal plans — it's a clinically guided approach to improving your health from the inside out. Whether you're struggling with chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, digestive issues, or performance plateaus, we tailor your plan using evidence-based strategies rooted in functional nutrition.
​
Led by Dr. David Bray — a chiropractor and clinical nutritionist — we assess your unique needs, health history, and goals to provide practical, sustainable guidance that fits your lifestyle.
​
Sessions are available virtually or in-person. Nutritional support may also be integrated into your overall wellness care plan.
What to Expect During Your First Visit
At Bray Chiropractic & Wellness, nutritional counseling is rooted in a functional, whole-person approach. We don’t just focus on food - we focus on how your unique biology, lifestyle, and goals intersect to impact your health.
​
Your first visit includes a comprehensive, evidence-informed evaluation:
​
-
A detailed review of your health history, current symptoms, medications, and lifestyle habits
-
Analysis of your dietary intake, digestion, and metabolic patterns
-
A collaborative discussion of your goals, challenges, and preferences
If applicable, we’ll also review any recent lab work or recommend functional testing to uncover underlying imbalances.
​
From there, we’ll create a personalized nutrition plan designed to support your healing, restore balance, and help you feel your best — sustainably.
Lab Test Interpretation
Data-Driven Nutrition for Personalized Healing
​
We don’t guess — we test. Through functional lab testing, we analyze biomarkers that provide insight into your digestion, inflammation, nutrient status, metabolic health, and more. Commonly reviewed labs include:
​
-
Comprehensive blood panels
-
Stool analysis and microbiome testing
-
Food sensitivity and allergy tests
-
Hormone and adrenal panels
-
Organic acid testing
Dr. Bray will walk you through your results, explain what they mean in plain language, and design a nutrition plan that addresses your root concerns.
Supplement Guidance
Targeted Support Without the Overwhelm
​
Not all supplements are created equal — and not everyone needs the same thing. We help you:
​
-
Identify high-quality, research-backed products
-
Avoid unnecessary or redundant supplements
-
Determine therapeutic vs. maintenance doses
-
Time your supplements for optimal effect
You’ll get a personalized supplement protocol designed to complement your nutrition and lifestyle plan without overcomplicating your routine.
