Why are nutritional supplements important?
Nutritional supplements
Eating a well balanced diet doesn’t cut it anymore due to the depleted soils our foods are grown in. You need to eat 3 apples to get the same nutritional value as an apple grown in the 1940’s. An orange in 1950 contained 100mgs of vitamin C. Today’s orange has 5mgs. The poor choices on nutrition our nation has been making over the last 50 years, in growing and consuming our foods, has significantly affected our overall health and medical costs.
We are producing more calories per acre but with less nutritional value. Research suggests very strongly that the large majority of our nations health issues developed because of lifestyle choices directly associated with our modern diet. Fast foods, packaged foods and processed foods are slowly depleting our health.
Chiropractic is a powerful tool on its own in helping the body heal, but combined with the right nutritional supplements which provide the necessary building blocks for healing – a win-win situation!

Nutrition and Chiropractic
Chiropractic therapy is holistic in that it aims to help the whole person, including giving advice on nutrition. Chiropractic tries to address the root of the patients’ complaints. Alignment is one of the ways patients receive relief, but chiropractic care also can help in a variety of other areas, including decreasing digestive complaints. The care is complemented by patients engaging in proper nutrition.
Healthy Eating
The American Chiropractic Association Council on Nutrition defines the “Building Blocks for Healthy Eating” as consuming 6-8 (8 oz.) glasses of purified water every day, 4-6 servings of complex carbohydrates from frozen or fresh vegetable and beans (or vegetable juices), 2-3 servings of complex carbohydrates from starches, 2-3 servings of protein (including vegetarian sources), 1-3 servings of fruits (fresh, frozen, dried, or even juice), 1-2 servings of unsaturated/non-hydrogenated fats, and no servings of simple (white flour/sugar) carbohydrates. Of course they recommend avoiding known food allergens.
Evolutionary Diet
Ken Edwards, DC, DACBN, CCN and William J. Rice, DC, DACBN, CCN, FACCN wrote about how our diet today is different from our ancestors. Historically, we have had 100,000 generations of hunter-gatherers, 500 agricultural generations, 10 of the industrial age, and the last 2 generations “have grown up with highly processed fast foods”. Because today’s diet is out-of-step with our evolution, Edwards and Rice suggest that our current diet “fails to provide the biochemical and molecular requirements”. Therefore, they suggest people follow the ACA’s recommended diet, which would bring us closer to the Paleolithic diet our genes need, instead of the 1992 USDA Food Pyramid.
Nutrition Certification
Some chiropractors get advanced degrees or certifications in nutrition. The Chiropractic Board of Clinical Nutrition, for example, was formed to credential and certify chiropractors in nutrition. Its goals are to enhance the health of clients and “protect the public interest”. The CBCN operates under the ACA and is a member of the Board of Chiropractic Specialties. They offer chiropractors the certification Diplomate in Clinical Nutrition (DCBCN).
Chiropractors’ Diet
A diet of nutrient-dense foods can help the body stay in balance. Chiropractic care has a goal of helping patients structurally and with nutrition, in order for the body to correct its own health problems. There is no one chiropractic diet, but nutritional advice has been given since 1895 in the chiropractic profession. Some practitioners advocate a vegetarian diet, others promote diets high in saturated fats and animal protein, and some focus on other health traditions, such as Ayurvedic medicine, according to Martin Hughes, DC. For the most part, chiropractors will advise organic, whole, and local foods, and they will encourage the avoidance of refined sugars and high fructose corn syrup. It is important to remember that every person is different and will have unique dietary needs.

I was especially impressed by the great way my neck was handled. No chiropractor has ever been as fast and so easily unlocked my neck before. Super professional!

Dr. Wasserman immediately found my "trouble" spot, was very thorough and took her time with me. I also took my kids in to see her and they love her too. Every year when we went on vacation in Maui we looked forward to seeing her and getting a tune up! I was so excited to learn that she is now only an hour away from where I live in the Washington state, instead of a 5 hour flight. -Tami M. (Enumclaw, WA)

I first saw Dr. Shana during a visit to Maui in 2005. A very long and stressful flight left me in excruciating pain. She helped me be able to enjoy my vacation! I just found out she relocated to Seattle and I had my first appointment with her today! She is just as professional as I remember and her new office is lovely! I will always recommend Dr. Shana to everyone I know. Look no further, Dr Wasserman will be your lifelong chiropractor too! - Treasure L. (Spokane, WA.)

I was in Maui for vacation before doing the Hawaii half-Ironman triathlon. My lower back started acting up and I thought I wasn't going to be able to participate in the race that I had trained so hard for. I saw Dr. Wasserman twice and she adjusted my back so that I was able complete the 70.3 miles of the triathlon without any pain or discomfort! She is a very knowledgeable and skilled Chiropractor and her prices were reasonable. I would highly recommend her! -Marissa M. (San Mateo, CA.)

Having been to several chiropractors in my lifetime I can say with confidence that Dr. Shana is the best! She's effective, yet gentle, doesn't force you into a "program" and makes a way to squeeze you in when you need her. I have been going to her for years in Maui and am so happy she relocated to this area! Definitely give her an opportunity to adjust you. She is a great family chiropractor and EXCELLENT for pregnant mothers too! -Lisa N. (Seattle, WA)

Good stuff! Dr. Shana treated me when I lived on Maui and I'm very glad she's now in the neighborhood here in Washington. She's excellent in many ways, a healer in the truest sense of the word. I have always felt very safe on her table, and she has treated my pains effectively. I also have always appreciated the way that she makes time for patients in need, even at the last moment. We are lucky to have her here in Bellevue.

Dr. Wasserman is simply fantastic, from the first session she made it easy for me to sleep like a baby, the headaches were all gone!
Dr. Wasserman's approach is very professional, she takes her time listening to your story and asking you a bunch of question to asses your case. She also recommends the required exercises and has a magical touch.
I have had sever pain in my neck and back for a long time and Dr. Shana was able to fix me in no time. She is by far the best chiropractor I have ever visited. Thank you - Fady M. (Bronx, NY)

My girlfriend and I were visiting and she got a stiff neck. This chiropractor was very helpful and friendly and spent a good half an hour on her neck and spine. The next day we were enjoying maui like everyone else thanks to this chiropractor. Visits are between 50$ to $75. Office is clean but not fancy. - Ali S. (Los ANgeles, CA)

Dr. Shana really listens to what my needs are, I highly recommend her for adjustments.. - Johanna W. (Kula, HI)

Dr. Wasserman is a phenomenal chiropractor and all around healer. I first went to her on the recommendation of a friend when I threw my back out severely. My GP had told me to just go home and take advil. After a week of excruciating pain, I went in to Dr. Wasserman and I was pain free in two sessions. No drugs, no gimmicks, no sales pitches that you have to come back X times to get better. Dr. Wasserman's goal is for you to get better. She will recommend lifestyle adjustments so that you can avoid chronic problems. A few years later, I was having some GI issues and I happened to mention them to her. She said "I can help with that!". To my amazement, she could! I can't recommend Dr. Wasserman more highly than to say I tell everyone I know about her. If she can't fix you, she will point you to the medical doctor or healers who can. - Matt W. (Westminster, MD)
