More than two-thirds of the U.S. adult population are considered to be overweight or obese, and of those people, about two-thirds desire to lose excess weight. While health experts agree that making lifestyle changes such as eating right and exercising regularly are crucial to achieving long-term weight loss, it is often easier said than done. In the past few years, more and more people are turning to nutraceuticals to promote faster weight loss and boost their performance to help them more easily achieve their weight loss and health goals.
The term nutraceutical comes from the words “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical” and refers to any supplemental products that are created from food sources and provide health benefits in addition to the primary nutritional value found in the food. According to Stephen De Felice, Chairman of the Foundation for Innovation and Medicine, nutraceuticals can be defined as “food, or part of a food, that provides medical or health benefits, including the prevention or treatment of disease.” In other words, nutraceuticals are medications that contain foods that are medically or nutritionally beneficial to the human body.
Nutraceuticals may be formulated with ingredients like vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals, amino acids and more to help improve your overall health and wellness. These natural supplements can be instrumental in naturally enhancing the results of your medical weight loss or anti-aging programs or even aid in preventing the onset of diseases like heart disease and Alzheimer’s.
Who Is A Candidate For Nutraceuticals?
At Body Symmetry MD, we offer nutraceuticals to our patients interested in enhancing or boosting their medical weight loss or anti-aging programs. Rather than waste time and money on overpriced, mid-grade vitamins sold by supplement retailers and pharmacies across the country, our non-prescription pharmaceutical-grade supplements are recommended to our patients based on their health status and goals. With no known side effects and natural ingredients, nutraceuticals are an ideal option for most patients who wish to supplement their daily health regimens.
Though not governed by the FDA, non-prescription pharmaceutical-grade nutraceuticals must adhere to strict purity policies put in place by the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention to be considered pharmaceutical-grade. This means that supplements must include more than 99 percent of their active ingredient without any compounds, binders or colors present. These are the standards by which Body Symmetry MD selects our nutraceuticals for our patients. During your initial consultation, our wellness consultants will carefully assess your medical history, symptoms and goals to determine whether nutraceuticals are right for you.
What Nutraceuticals Are Offered At Body Symmetry MD?
Nutraceuticals can offer a wide range of health benefits for patients and can be tailored to your unique symptoms and needs. Whether you wish to enhance your workout performance, boost your energy or stop cravings for unhealthy foods, nutraceuticals can help you to reach your goals more quickly. Some of the most popular nutraceuticals we recommend for our patients at Body Symmetry MD include:
Appetite suppressants
High-dose fat burners
Carb blockers
Supplements to curb sweet cravings
Powdered pre-workout energy drinks
Post-workout recovery amino acids
Sleep aids
Pure whey protein shakes and meal replacements
Vitamin energy boosters
Supplements to aid in water loss, or natural diuretics
As with our medical weight loss and anti-aging programs, our nutraceutical recommendations are physician-guided and will vary for each patient based on their individual goals and health history. At Body Symmetry MD, we don’t just offer a “cookie-cutter” list of vitamins we urge our patients to buy simply because they have enlisted in one of our wellness programs. We ensure that any supplementation we prescribe to your customized plan aids you in your journey to wellness.
How Do Nutraceuticals Work?
In recent years, nutraceuticals have generated a great deal of interest due to their potential nutritional health benefits, safety and therapeutic effects. Nutraceuticals have the ability to play a role in a number of biological processes in the body, including strengthening antioxidant defenses, aiding in digestion and weight loss, preventing chronic diseases or postponing the natural aging process. Your nutraceutical may come in pill, powder or liquid form, and depending on the supplement selected, it will work to boost your energy, performance, sleep, or weight loss naturally over time.
If you are ready to safely and naturally supplement your weight loss or anti-aging programs with the power of nutraceuticals, our wellness consultants are here to recommend the right nutraceutical that will help you achieve your goals faster and easier. Contact the Body Symmetry MD office today at 678-335-4849 or click here to schedule a consultation and find out if nutraceuticals are the right therapy for you.

With Body Symmetry, we go on the inside and get everything balanced. This allows a chiropractor to come then and get better range of motion and better movement. It’s a good marriage between the two.
We take a four dimensional approach to what we do: lifestyle, body analysis, bloodwork and lots of collaboration. The fourth dimension is a treatment program.
What differentiates us is the comprehensive approach we take that is individualized. We have an arsenal of metabolic, hormonal, and weight loss treatments, and we’re trained on how to use them all.

I’ve recommended Body Symmetry to about 14 people who’ve come here. I want everybody to benefit from this.

You see the results pretty quick.
Anthony truly goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and cared for. He’s really done a lot for me.

I have more confidence than I’ve ever had. I feel better about myself than I ever have. With the help of Body Symmetry, I feel like I’m ready to take on the world.
I was putting in the work and not seeing results, so my trainer recommended coming to Body Symmetry and getting my hormone levels checked. That made the difference.
I have a girlfriend now and it’s getting pretty serious. It’s a lot easier to love and care about other people when you love and care about yourself.
Body Symmetry is lining you up hormonally. Chiropractic lines you up physically.
The level of care once we added Body Symmetry here is absolutely enhanced. The bloodwork gives us the extra tool to up the care for patients.
The peptides we have are amazing. They’re powerful and all natural. They improve weight loss, anxiety, sleeping.
Truly my passion is helping people. It gets me so excited.
The main reasons people come to Body Symmetry are no energy and no libido. We start with a seven-day core detox. Now we can start treating you with good medicine, then it’s off to the races. We find out your blood type, and we match foods to blood type. When you do these things, your machine starts running at a high level.
It’s all mind and body. People have no idea how they’re connected for wellness.
Once you can get someone past the initial hump, then their wellness just explodes. Once you dive in mentally, you start tapping into cellular energy.
The fear is always starting up a diet and losing weight and the weight coming back. It’s actually worked incredibly here to make a lifestyle change and keep the weight from coming back on.
Going through the weight loss and hormone replacement and peptide protocols myself has allowed me to speak on those to other people and help them on their journey.
I would highly recommend Body Symmetry to anybody. I have recommended both my sister and my husband here, and they both have lost 60-70 pounds. I’ve lost 60 pounds.
The way I wake up in the morning and put my foot on the ground has changed completely. You’re ready to tackle the day.
Chad will make sure everything you’re wanting is there. He’s always, always on it.
One of the foundation principles of chiropractic is the study of health—what makes people live better and longer. We’re about finding issues before they become issues.
With Body Symmetry, we can add an entire different protocol of health. We can address their entire human system. We can cure them by individual care. Body Symmetry gives us great systems that lets us help our patients like never before.
Does it elevate our level of care? Absolutely. We have patients coming in with chronic conditions—arthritis, psoriasis, losing their hair. Before, we could only change their diet. Now we can give them peptides that slowly tell your body what to do. Then patients become more interested and involved in their own care.
For 19 years, what brought people to us because of pain or discomfort. Now they come because they want to change their lives. It’s a simple thing. We work with every patient individually. We help YOU connect the dots.
If you have anxiety or depression, you go get medication and it balances it chemically and nobody has a problem with that. There’s always a cliché about men taking hormones. I don’t take testosterone to get big. I take it because I want to be healthy. Physically and mentally, I’m 20 years younger than I am by age.
Any team is only as good as its weakest link. When you come to Body Symmetry, there is no weak link. They’re an awesome team. They’re going to give you a push to help you get better.
We believe the body heals itself, and when you give it the best opportunity, it heals better.
We have more tools to utilizes with patience, like peptides for healing and weight loss. It works better with what we do.
As females age, they go to doctors to address hormones. Men don’t, and that’s one of the things we address.
With the detox we do, we address people’s diets and inflammation. Inflammation just destroys your body. Taking that out, addressing food issues, people lose weight and are in a better state of healing, not just with chiropractic but with life in general.
We address more than just chiropractic. We address the whole individual and issues that affect your whole well-being. We’re able to address more issues and help more people.
People come here because they’re hearing results from other people. If that’s your goal and you want to help people, they’ll tell other people.
People come to Body Symmetry for weight loss, hormone therapy, anti-aging, and just feeling better.
I chose Body Symmetry and it was very life changing. I have more energy. I have better health. I dropped 87 pounds. I feel better than did when I was 20. It saved my life, really.
People see the change in me and they want it. We have a whole mess of people coming now.
The individualized medicine I take is great. I don’t need a cup of coffee in the morning. I’m ready to go. Chad taught me how to do it, and after doing it myself, there’s nothing to it.
When people see a picture of me before and one of me now, they want that, too.
