Advising the Doctor is a service that offers Doctors consultation sessions with Dr. Balla to review specific patient cases, develop or fine-tune nutritional protocols, discuss current topics in nutrition, or review mechanisms of certain disease processes as they relate to nutritional therapy.

Nutritional therapy consulting is one of Dr. Balla’s favorite services for Authentic Health due to her enthusiasm and genuine belief that nutritional therapy in the chiropractic setting can be a game changer for the patient. She knows that every Doctor encounters difficult cases that challenge their knowledge and could benefit from an additional perspective, especially with regard to the complexities of nutritional therapy. Dr. Balla provides Doctors with the “fresh eye” that complicated cases require and offers expert advice on nutritional therapy options, all with the goal of becoming the Doctor’s trusted advisor on nutrition-related topics.

Dr. Balla is also interested in discussing Doctors’ questions about current topics and sharing her cutting-edge knowledge of the latest alternative nutrition information. She entertains questions about the mechanisms of specific disease processes, and various interactions/applications of whole food supplements, vitamins, minerals, herbs and homeopathics. She has recently advised Doctors on current developments in nutritional therapy for fertility, autoimmune, gene mutations, Vitamin D, and probiotic therapy.

Bringing a natural curiosity to any case the Doctor presents to her, Dr. Balla has the desire to be a sounding board for ideas and potential solutions. As she shares her nutritional mastery, Doctors are able to more comfortably address their patients’ dietary challenges, give patients deeply personalized nutrition therapy, and confidently answer patients’ questions about the intricacies of nutritional therapy in the chiropractic setting.

Coaching the Doctor is a service designed to help Doctors develop, improve, or expand nutritional therapy programs for their practice.

Beyond addressing musculoskeletal disorders, Dr. Balla believes nutritional therapy is one of the most important components of a holistic chiropractic treatment plan. She’s not alone. In fact, a 2015 Practice Analysis from the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners indicated that up to ninety-seven percent of Doctors gave nutritional and dietary recommendations, making nutrition a common part of a treatment plan for chiropractic patients 1. The same report outlined that in a typical trimester-based Chiropractic Doctoral program only three classes are devoted to learning about nutrition. So, what’s a Doctor to do? Your patients are nutritionally imbalanced and seeking help; you want to provide what’s best but may not possess a comprehensive understanding of how to establish and deliver a nutritional therapy program.

Enter Dr. Balla.

Her 11+ years experience in developing and delivering nutritional therapy programs can demystify the process for you. Dr. Balla will lead you through the steps necessary if you are interested in beginning a nutritional therapy program from scratch, or she will meet you where you are to expand your offerings or improve your already existing program.

Once you’ve decided to pursue coaching with Dr. Balla, your initial sessions will be devoted to understanding the basis of your nutritional philosophy and the corresponding business strategies upon which your practice will be built. Later sessions will be spent constructing the nutritional protocols that fit your specific type of practice as well as establishing a consistent testing system to determine the needs of your individual patients. As you deepen your understanding of the intricacies of nutritional therapy and shaping your own methods of practice, Dr. Balla will continue sharing her knowledge and coaching you until the foundation of your nutritional therapy program is complete.
