Meet The Staff
Claire N. Bacon, ACN, CNC
Over the past decade, I have discovered a profound passion and embarked on a second career in the field of nutritional consulting. As someone deeply invested in health and a triathlete, I always paid careful attention to maintaining a healthy diet and engaging in regular exercise. However, it was my complete immersion in the chiropractic lifestyle that revealed the alarming prevalence of false marketing claims and blatant lies perpetuated by the food industry. I came to realize that much of the mainstream information I had earnestly followed in pursuit of better health was, in fact, misleading.
Through attending numerous chiropractic seminars alongside my husband, I had an eye-opening experience. I learned that many of the common chronic diseases afflicting Americans could be effectively addressed through the use of concentrated nutritional supplements. Personally, I underwent a transformation as well. I witnessed significant improvements in my own health challenges, such as adrenal fatigue, hypoglycemia, acne, leaky gut syndrome, and dysmenorrhea, by supplementing with foods, herbs, and glandular nutrients that had not been consistently present in my diet before.
In my role as Patient Educator, I take great pride in providing essential support services in our chiropractic and nutritional practice. Witnessing firsthand the positive impact on many patients, and helping them find the answers they had sought their entire lives, has been an incredibly fulfilling experience. Whether it involves addressing chronic hormonal dysfunction, weak digestion and liver function, or yeast and fungal overgrowth, I am privileged to share numerous effective holistic options that are not widely known but can lead to remarkable improvements in these conditions.
For the past five years, I have had the immense pleasure of leading our practice in conducting group 21-Day Purification Cleanses and 10-Day Blood Sugar Cleanses. These experiences have allowed me to share vital supplement information and empower our clients with a deeper understanding of their health choices. Through personalized nutrition assessments and small group workshops, I strive to inspire our clients to make healthier choices, such as reading ingredient labels, selecting or making non-toxic personal care products, and preparing nourishing meals at home.
I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of our clients' wellness journey, and I remain committed to spreading knowledge and promoting healthier lifestyles within our community.
