Nutrition & Wellness at Lehigh Valley Chiropractic

Live Well by Maintaining a Healthy Weight

The staff at Lehigh Valley Chiropractic have designed a weight management system that will enable you to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. In order to customize your diet, a resting metabolic test is employed. This will provide you with information about your body’s distinctive metabolic system. You will no longer have to guess the number of calories your body needs to stay strong; the strategy is clear. Individualized healthcare is the primary focus at Lehigh Valley Chiropractic. We understand that your nutritional needs are unique and will counsel you according to those needs.

Your total metabolic rate is based on 3 components.

• 60-75% Resting Metabolic Rate
• 10% Thermic effect of food
• 10-30% Physical activity

Your resting metabolic rate is based on age, size, sex, hormones, and muscle mass. Although a good percentage of your total metabolic rate is based on factors that are beyond your control (age, sex, and hormones), you have power over an appreciable portion of your metabolism. Our goal is to educate you about your metabolism and create a nutritional plan so you can maintain a healthy weight.
