What Is Science-Based Nutrition Testing?
Science-based nutrition at Scenic City Clinic of Chiropractic starts with comprehensive bloodwork rather than guesswork. Blood testing gives an objective look at nutrient levels, metabolic markers, and other indicators of how your body is actually functioning — information that’s far more precise than a generic questionnaire or a one-size-fits-all diet plan could ever provide.
Once your bloodwork is complete, your results are reviewed with you in detail, in plain language, so you understand exactly what your body is telling us. From there, a personalized nutrition plan is built around your specific results and goals, rather than applying a standard protocol to every patient regardless of their individual chemistry.
Led by Dr. Todd Osborne and Marcie Osborne
Our nutrition department is led by Dr. Todd Osborne and Marcie Osborne, who work together to review bloodwork, interpret results, and build individualized nutrition plans for our patients. This husband-and-wife leadership reflects the multi-generational, family-rooted approach that defines Scenic City Clinic of Chiropractic as a whole — nutrition isn’t treated as an outsourced add-on service, but as a core part of the same practice philosophy that guides our chiropractic and therapy services.

How Nutrition Fits Into Your Care at Scenic City Clinic of Chiropractic
As a whole-person wellness practice, we view nutrition as foundational to nearly everything else we do. Chronic pain, inflammation, fatigue, and poor recovery from injury can all be influenced by underlying nutritional imbalances that never show up on a standard physical exam. Many patients pair nutrition testing with chiropractic care or our IHT Bioscan nutritional services, using bloodwork to uncover root-cause issues that other therapies alone wouldn’t reveal.
This is part of what makes whole-person, one-roof care valuable: a chronic pain or fatigue issue might be partially structural, partially inflammatory, and partially nutritional, all at once. Addressing only one piece of that puzzle often leaves patients feeling like something is still missing from their care.
Conditions and Concerns Nutrition Testing Can Help With
- Fatigue and low energy — often connected to nutrient deficiencies that don’t show up without targeted testing
- Unexplained weight changes — where metabolic and hormonal bloodwork can reveal contributing factors
- Digestive issues — nutrition plans built around identifying and addressing specific imbalances
- Hormonal imbalances — supported by bloodwork markers relevant to hormonal health
- Fibromyalgia — nutrition support as part of a broader, whole-person management approach
- Peripheral neuropathy — where nutrient deficiencies, such as low B12, can be a contributing factor worth ruling out
The concerns above are some of the most common reasons patients pursue nutrition and bloodwork testing — but if you don’t see your specific concern listed, don’t assume we can’t help. The best way to know is a conversation with our team. Patients report meaningful improvements in energy, function, and overall wellbeing through science-based nutrition, though outcomes vary depending on the individual and how consistently a nutrition plan is followed. We’re careful not to promise a guaranteed result for any specific condition — our job is to build a plan around what your bloodwork actually shows.
What to Expect During Your Nutrition Evaluation
Your nutrition journey starts with a conversation about your health history, current concerns, and goals, followed by comprehensive bloodwork to establish a clear, objective baseline. Once results are back, you’ll sit down with our nutrition team to review exactly what your bloodwork shows, in language that makes sense — not just a printout of numbers with no context.
From there, a personalized nutrition plan is built around your specific results. This might include dietary recommendations, lifestyle adjustments, and in some cases, targeted supplementation based on what your bloodwork indicates is actually needed, rather than a generic supplement regimen.
Supplementation and Professional-Grade Brands
When supplementation is recommended as part of your nutrition plan, our team can point you toward the professional-grade brands we carry in-office, including Standard Process, Designs for Health, and DesBio. These brands are chosen for their quality and are available for patients to purchase directly at our Chattanooga location — supplementation is never a requirement to participate in our nutrition program, but it’s there as an option when your specific results call for it.
What Your Bloodwork May Reveal
Comprehensive bloodwork can surface a wide range of information that a standard annual physical often doesn’t dig into. Depending on your specific panel, this may include:
- Vitamin and mineral levels — including nutrients commonly linked to energy, immune function, and nerve health
- Metabolic markers — indicators related to how your body processes and uses energy
- Inflammatory markers — general indicators of inflammation that can be connected to chronic pain and fatigue
- Hormonal markers — relevant to energy, mood, weight, and overall balance
- Thyroid function indicators — since thyroid imbalances are a common, often under-diagnosed contributor to fatigue and weight changes
Your specific panel is tailored to your health history and current concerns during your evaluation, rather than applying the exact same battery of tests to every patient regardless of their situation.

Common Questions and Misconceptions
One common misconception is that nutrition counseling means being handed a restrictive diet plan and a list of foods to avoid. In reality, science-based nutrition at Scenic City Clinic of Chiropractic starts with data, not assumptions — your plan is built around what your bloodwork actually shows, which often looks very different from a generic weight-loss diet.
Another common question is whether “normal” bloodwork results mean there’s nothing to address. Standard lab reference ranges are based on population averages, and a result can fall within a technically normal range while still being far from optimal for a specific individual. Part of the value of a dedicated nutrition review is looking at your results in the context of how you actually feel, not just whether a number falls inside a wide standard range.
