Science-Based Nutrition
Functional Nutrition in Littleton, CO
Our functional nutrition program goes beyond generic dietary advice. Through comprehensive blood work analysis and personalized protocols, we uncover the root causes of your symptoms and build a plan to address them at the source, not just manage them.
How Our Nutrition Program Works
We start with comprehensive blood work that goes far beyond a standard panel. Our analysis examines dozens of markers that most doctors overlook, revealing patterns of inflammation, hormonal imbalance, nutrient deficiency, metabolic dysfunction, thyroid irregularity, and blood sugar instability.
This is not the same blood work your primary care physician orders. Standard panels check a handful of markers and flag only values that fall outside very broad normal ranges. Our functional analysis looks at optimal ranges, identifying issues while they are still subclinical and correctable through nutrition rather than medication.
Based on your results, Heather Dody, our nutritional consultant, designs a personalized protocol including dietary modifications, targeted supplementation using XYMOGEN pharmaceutical-grade products, and lifestyle adjustments. Follow-up blood work confirms your progress and allows us to refine the plan over time.
“Dr. Dody is super effective and really cares about his patients! He uses a complete whole body approach, so he is able to use his gentle chiropractic approach to great benefit and also provide nutrition counseling and neurofeedback for optimum brain function.”

Conditions We Address Through Nutrition
Functional nutrition is effective for chronic fatigue and persistent low energy, arthritis and inflammatory joint pain, fibromyalgia, hormonal imbalance including thyroid dysfunction, digestive issues including IBS and leaky gut, autoimmune conditions, weight management and metabolic syndrome, adrenal fatigue, blood sugar instability and pre-diabetes, high cholesterol and cardiovascular risk factors, and nutrient deficiencies contributing to mood disorders.
Nutrition works best as part of an integrated care plan. Many of the conditions listed above also have a structural component (addressed through chiropractic care) and a neurological component (addressed through neurofeedback therapy). This is the advantage of having all three disciplines under one roof.
For example, a patient with chronic fatigue may have spinal misalignments disrupting nerve function (chiropractic), brain wave patterns associated with low energy (neurofeedback), and nutrient deficiencies or hormonal imbalances (nutrition). Addressing all three simultaneously produces results that no single approach can match.
“The people at Dody Chiropractic are professional, knowledgeable and caring. They treat patients with a holistic approach, which is refreshing!”

XYMOGEN Professional Supplements
We use XYMOGEN pharmaceutical-grade supplements because quality matters. Over-the-counter supplements vary wildly in purity, potency, and bioavailability. XYMOGEN products are manufactured under strict GMP standards with independent third-party testing to ensure what is on the label is actually in the bottle.
Your supplement protocol is never a generic recommendation. Every product is selected based on your specific blood work findings and adjusted as your markers improve. Heather monitors your progress and modifies your plan as your body responds to ensure you are always getting exactly what you need.
