Dr. Todd Osborne (“Dr. Oz”) and Dr. Zach Wilson discuss the pros and cons of chiropractors selling nutritional supplements in their practices. Dr. Zach argues that nutrition is an essential component of healing, citing that historical diseases like scurvy and rickets were cured by addressing nutrient deficiencies. They agree that offering supplements is a responsibility, as patients will often seek cheaper, low-quality products elsewhere that may not be effective. Dr. Oz shares his personal experience with chronic Lyme disease, which was not resolved by chiropractic alone and required nutritional supplementation, leading him to integrate it into his practice. They highlight the value of objective testing (blood, gut, saliva) to determine patient needs and the importance of providing high-quality, professional-grade products. Ultimately, they conclude that combining chiropractic adjustments with proper nutrition is a winning combination for patient health and that patients now expect this guidance from their doctors.
