The office of husband-and-wife team, Dr. Catie McArdle and Dr. Robert Sedlor, of McArdle Chiropractic and Wellness Center, in Cranston, Rhode Island, knows that eating a well-balanced diet is critical in living a healthy lifestyle. Yet, sometimes our bodies call for more nutrition than we can get from our food and we must supplement with additional vitamins and minerals. This is where they step in, advising clients on what those nutrients may be, based on symptoms, medical conditions or concerns, and building a personalized plan based on an individual’s nutritional needs and goals. 

Along with the natural healing power of chiropractic, a tailored supplementation plan can help heal as well as prevent disease that sets in when nutritionally suppressed. The center uses Metagenics nutraceutical products that are well-researched and carefully manufactured to deliver the nutritional and functional values that rival those delivered directly through food-based sources.

The team agrees, “Deriving your nutrients from the foods you eat is the preferred way, but Metagenics can fill the gaps and keep you healthy.”  The company provides a wide selection of products that contain micronutrients such as vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, flavonoids, and omega-3 fatty acids, targeted to boost immune health and function, and support overall health.  Products can be purchased in their office or a practitioner code can be used to order them online for home delivery.

“Everybody is different, and a generalized multi-vitamin should not be able to satisfy everyone’s needs from teenagers to geriatrics. Nutritional counseling ensures individuals they are taking only the nutrients that their body is lacking or that it is calling for,” says McArdle.
