Welcome to Hamel Chiropractic and Wellness nutrition page, where we believe in the power of holistic wellness to transform lives. At our clinic, Dr. Hamel understands that true health encompasses not only the absence of disease but also the optimization of physical, mental, and emotional well-being. That's why we integrate chiropractic care with nutrition counseling to provide comprehensive and personalized wellness solutions for our patients. Dr. Hamel has over 24 years of experience providing Kingwood and north Houston area patients with chiropractic care and nutritional programs to optimize their health and wellness.
Chiropractic care focuses on aligning the spine and restoring proper nervous system function, which plays a crucial role in overall health. When the spine is misaligned, it can interfere with the body's ability to communicate effectively with its organs and glands, leading to a host of health issues. Most people just think of chiropractic as dealing with the bone and joints but in reality, chiropractic adjustments do have a significant effect on the nervous system; which controls everything. By gently adjusting the spine, chiropractors can remove interference and allow the body to heal itself naturally, promoting optimal function and vitality.
But chiropractic care is just one piece of the puzzle. Nutrition is equally important for supporting the body's healing process and achieving optimal health. The food we eat provides the building blocks for every cell in our body, influencing everything from energy levels to immune function to mood. That's why we take a whole-foods approach to nutrition, focusing on nutrient-dense foods and supplements that help support and feed the body from the inside out. Dr. Hamel has noticed over the years when his back pain, neck pain, Sciatica or headache patients were not responding to treatment it had something to do with their diet, mostly poor diets causing massive inflammation in a patient’s body preventing healing from happening. Patients who smoked, or ate fast foods all the time just did not get great results with chiropractic care; it’s just that simple, says Dr. Hamel.
In our practice, we work with patients to develop personalized nutrition plans tailored to their unique needs and goals. In fact, some new patients just come in for nutritional counseling and they never decide to do chiropractic treatments. New nutrition patients coming in to our Kingwood office are usually looking to improve their health by losing weight, managing chronic health conditions, boost energy, improve digestion, reduce pain/inflammation, sleep better or even look for metabolic support for hormone balance. Dr. Hamel has practiced chiropractic for over 24 years and also has an accredited nutrition certification because he has completed over 500 hours of nutritional courses. In his Kingwood Chiropractic office Dr. Hamel uses mostly Standard Process and Medi-Herb; he has recommended these brands to patients for over 24 years because they work so well. If you run into someone who takes SP or Medi-Herb supplements they usually have been taking them for a long time and realize how good the quality is. He also carries a few other brands of supplements in his office for specific conditions or products that SP and Medi-Herb don’t make.
Dr. Hamel has an online nutrition store on his website, you can either click on Standard Process and order directly through them or you can click on Fullscript and order through them. Fullscript carries over 350 brands of supplements, powders, bars, soaps, home health products and more; this is a great website with a variety of really good nutrition brands/companies.

Food cravings, overeating, can't sleep, scale keeps going up, and digestive issues, these can all be signs to talk to a chiropractic nutritionist about weight loss. Dr. Hamel adds carrying an extra 20 pounds puts significant stress on the joints of the spine, hips, knees as well as causing significant inflammation in the body which prevents healing and repair. Dr. Hamel recommends some great natural supplements for weight loss support: Coleus Forte, SP Cleanse, Gymnema, and if you want to go all in with the most comprehensive support for weight loss and to reset the body we recommend The Purification Program, there are a few programs to choose from.
Exhausted all of the time, tired but can't sleep, brain fog, drinking energy drinks, taking hormone replacement therapy; these are all symptoms of chronic fatigue, or adrenal fatigue or adrenal burnout. We need to focus on removing or getting away from daily stressors that are affecting energy. Get rid of the stressors and feed the body what it needs to optimize sleep, recovery and energy; this is the secret says Dr. Hamel. A few amazing natural supplements we recommend for fatigue and adrenal support are: Drenamin, Drenatrophin PMG, Adrenal Health Pack, Ashwagandha Complex, and Cataplex C
Colitis, diarrhea, constipation, Reflux, diverticulitis, sour stomach, too acidic, gas, bloating, pain in stomach, hemorrhoids; these are symptoms that something is off with your digestive tract. It is more than just taking probiotics says Dr. Hamel, we have to naturally help create a healthy gut environment for good bacteria to grow. When a patient has plenty of good bacteria in the gut they often report seeing better digestion, elimination and believe it or not their immune system is stronger. Some good natural supplements to help heal the gut are Okra Pepsin E3, Prosynbiotic, Gut Flora Complex and Prebiotic Inulin.
Every diabetic or pre-diabetic client should know the natural ways to control blood sugar and balance out their hormones. When a patient no longer has blood sugar spikes they often see tremendous changes in their health in terms of energy, weight loss, sleep, digestion, motivation and of course their ability to heal and repair. Some great supplements we recommend for blood sugar support are: Glucose Assist, Gymnema, and Diaplex
Can't fall asleep, can't stay asleep, lie in bed staring at the ceiling, serious brain fog, no motivation, no exercise and very irritable; these are all symptoms of insomnia. It is much more than taking melatonin or sleeping pills to get a good nights rest. Night routines can play a big part in lack of good quality sleep so it is important to pay attention to those; no screens or eating 1-2 hours before bed. Othet times there can be hormone imbalances, blood sugar issues or even nervous system dysfunction that is preventing someone from falling alseep and getting good deep and REM sleep. Good natural products to support sleep are E-Z Mg, Magnesium Lactate, Orchex, and Kava Forte
These symptoms are common for thyroid issues: chronic fatigue, hair loss, weight gain or weight loss, cold hands and feet, immune system poor, sleep issues and more. The thyroid gland is very small but it is asked to be one of the strongest glands in the body. Whether it is hormones like T3, T4 or reverese T3 that are off; it can cause caos in the body. Even if you are taking a thyroid medication it is a great idea to support the gland naturally with supplements like Thyroid Complex or Thytrophin PMG.
