Nutritional Evaluation
now available on-line!

More and more people are turning to nutritional supplements to maintain a healthy lifestyle and to avoid the increasing costs and side effects of prescription drugs. There are good reasons for this. Numerous studies have shown that very few Americans actually get the needed vitamins and minerals from their diet. It has become common for people to consume pre-packaged or "fast-food" meals. Even when the time is taken to prepare "balanced" meals, processing, cooking, and chemical additives can destroy natural vitamins and minerals, or make them inaccessible to our bodies. Environmental and behavioral factors, such as pollution and smoking, also impact the quality of our food as well as our ability to maximize absorption.

As a result, experts now suggest daily doses of vitamin and mineral supplements to ensure adequate nutritional intake. In fact, recent research has led many experts to believe that the cost savings for our health care system resulting from the adequate daily intake of vitamins and minerals by all Americans would be in the billions of dollars annually.

On the other hand, proper supplementation of the vitamins and minerals needed by your body should not be approached with a "one size fits all" mentality. Your body, and your diet, are unique to you, and therefore, your vitamin and mineral needs are unique to you. A multi-vitamin pill, no matter how strong or how "complete", cannot truly address your body’s individual needs. In fact, many of the "mega-vitamins" sold today could contain a toxic dosage of a vitamin or mineral that your body just doesn’t need any more of.

For this reason, proper nutritional supplementation should be approached the same as you would approach taking a drug to cure an illness or disease. Your symptoms are evaluated to determine the exact problem, then a drug is recommended to take care of that problem. Which is exactly how we approach nutritional supplementation at Physicians First, Inc.

In order to customize a supplementation program specifically designed for your needs, your diet, and your lifestyle, we offer our patients a computerized Nutritional Evaluation that screens the body systems to identify those that are in need of nutritional support. Then one of our Chiropractic physicians will review the results with you, explain the problem areas identified, and recommend dietary changes and quality nutritional supplements that can address these problem areas.

This Nutritional Evaluation will take about 20 to 30 minutes to complete, and costs only $35.00. If you have any questions, or would like to schedule your evaluation, call us at (440) 461-4848. You and your body will be glad you did!

Our Nutritional Evaluation is now available for you to complete on-line! All you have to do is:

1. Provide your credit card information (Visa, Mastercard or American Express) to our secured order taking system for the $35.00 fee
2. Complete and submit the Nutritional Evaluation form which should take you between 10 to 20 minutes to complete.

Once your Nutritional Evaluation is scored through our computer and reviewed by one of our physicians (approximately 3 to 4 days), you will be contacted by telephone to arrange for a professional, private consultation. This consultation can be performed with you:

1. Over the telephone, or
2. By an appointment in one of our offices.

There is no additional charge for either type of consultation!

Why not take advantage of this opportunity to help control your own health?
