Nutrition & Lifestyle Counsel
Practical nutrition and lifestyle guidance in Reno — addressed when appropriate as part of whole-person chiropractic care since 1993.
Medically reviewed by Dr. Alan S. Bader, DC — Chiropractic Physician, Nevada License B-567 · Dr. Bader · Dr. Doyle · Last reviewed: July 2026
The habits around the spine
Dr. Bader's stated scope has included it for three decades: general health issues such as nutrition and lifestyle, addressed when appropriate. Not as a supplement store with an exam table — as practical counsel woven into care when it genuinely bears on your recovery: the anti-inflammatory basics when chronic irritation keeps flaring, weight-and-load honesty when knees and backs are paying the tax, sleep position coaching, activity habits, and the unglamorous fundamentals that make tissue heal better. No product lines, no meal-plan theater — just the conversation your findings justify.
What this includes
- Anti-inflammatory eating basics for chronic flare patterns
- Weight-and-joint-load honest conversations, kindly had
- Sleep position and pillow/mattress guidance
- Activity and pacing strategies for durable recovery
- Hydration and recovery fundamentals
- Referral to dietitians and physicians for medical nutrition needs
Every service starts the same way: a real examination and a plain-English report of findings. Call (775) 829-7575 or request an appointment online — same-week openings are usually available.

Will you sell me supplements?
No product-line pressure here. If something simple is worth considering, we'll say so and tell you why; anything medical goes to your physician or a registered dietitian.
Can diet really affect my joint pain?
It can influence the inflammatory background your joints operate in — 'influence' being the honest verb. It complements mechanical care; it doesn't replace it.
Is this a weight-loss program?
No — it's honest counsel where weight measurably loads your problem, delivered respectfully and paired with realistic referrals. No packages, no shakes, no shame.
What patients say
Reno Patients, In Their Own Words
“First time here… Friendly and efficient receptionist, she explained everything in detail. I saw Dr. Bader. Listened to my areas of pain, explained many things and my first adjustment was great. He is also friendly, has good “bedside” manners. They are a hometown health provider.”
“I’ve been seeing Dr. Bader for the last 15 years. He is extremely knowledgeable and has a great bedside manor. The office is very well run… Most insurance is accepted and if it’s not, the cash plan is very reasonable. Walk in’s are acceptable and same day appointments are most likely.”
“Dr Bader is a Super Chiropractor! Palmer educated.”
“They actually work on fixing your issues with adjustments and therapy and get you in and out of the office in a timely manner.”
