Nutritional Care & Vagus Nerve Support

What it is

The how matters as much as the what.

You can't out-adjust a system that's inflamed from the inside. Dr. Sweeney uses Nutritional Response Testing and targeted supplementation to support the brain-gut axis and vagus nerve — the two systems that determine whether your body can actually hold a chiropractic correction.

This isn't a generic multivitamin recommendation. It's a specific, evidence-based assessment that identifies which organ systems are under stress and which nutrients will move the needle. Members receive a personalized assessment as part of their annual benefit.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I have to buy supplements?
No. Dr. Sweeney will tell you what your body needs; where you source it is up to you. He does offer a discount at Optimal Health Systems (code OHSSWEENEY) for practitioner-grade options.
Is this covered by the Well Membership?
Yes — members receive a personalized nutritional assessment as part of their annual benefit, plus quarterly check-ins.
How does this connect to chiropractic?
The vagus nerve exits the skull right next to the upper cervical spine. Systemic inflammation and poor vagal tone keep the body stuck in fight-or-flight — which is why some patients struggle to hold their adjustments. Address both, and the results compound.
