How Nutritionist Can Help
Nutritionist Grayslake is not about dogma or the latest fads. It’s a concrete understanding of the fuel you are giving your body to maintain homeostasis or harmony of your physiology.
-
These conditions contribute to the greatest loss of quality of life in the United States. The antiquated neurotransmitter theory lead to psychiatrist throwing medications at the conditions to ‘rebalance neurotransmitters’ without correcting the underlying cause of the imbalance.
The new and prevailing theofy of Neuro-Inflammation explains how the brain of people with depression, anxiety, and many other mental health issues, the immune system is activated with evidence for elevated levels of inflammatory chemicals that disrupt brain function.
The roots of this problem lie outside of teh brain and are initiated in the gastrointestinal tract where it interacts witht he brain through the blood stream and vagus nerve.
-
Our stores are riddled with inflammatory seed oils, processed sugars, and heavily modified and overly preserved goods. These are some the largest contributors to chronic low grade inflammation that damages our vessels and organs and depletes our immune function. When your eliminate these from your diet and replace them with nutrient dense natural food sources, your pain with diminish significantly.
-
If your diet consists of highly fermentable foods that your body has a hard time breaking down, then you likely suffer from one of the above symptoms. You will feel so much better when you understand and avoid the foods that sit undigested and produce gases that pressurize your abdomen.
-
The body can tolerate a lot of stress without breaking, but it makes it harder when we have it coming from multiple directions – emotional, environmental, physical, and internal. By addressing the stresses of your internal environment, you experience relief overall because you are no longer being exhausted physiologically from tolerating harmful stimuli from within.
-
Medications are extremely hard to wean off and, even with them, it still doesn’t feel like restful sleep that rejuvenates your for the next day. Your diet factors into your sleep very closely. Blood sugar regulation, nutrient adequacy, anti-oxidant capacity, fuel for the brain at night are just some examples of what we need to assess for you to re-experience great sleep.
Nutritionist Grayslake – Reviews
I have been having weekly treatments with Dr. Jack since Peyton went on maternity leave, tho she has returned to the office; Dr Jack has kept me with him. I must say, it has been 35-YEARS since my accident. I have been in treatment nearly weekly since then. When I first arrived as a patient, Dr. Peyton worked very hard to loosen up my stiff muscles & that made a huge difference. Dr. Jack has taken over & with his continued treatment, I am pulling out of chronic pain. It has already been 6-months since I have been able to sleep on my back without pain!!! And after that huge change, I can now sleep on either side without pain. I can also stand up without pain. I am starting to move like a person who never had an accident. This gives me a huge change in my daily life; I am able to move about & do things as well as sleep & stay asleep versus the previous 20-minute naps before mu body pain woke me up.
Both Doctors focus their treatment on root cause(s), they understand that when muscles/ligaments/tendons are stiff, that puts stress on the bones & that stress includes inflammation. Peyton also works on supporting her patients with nutritional sessions to help lower inflammation. Dr Jack also has multi-treatment techniques.
Truth? I have never been to such chiropractors who have worked so hard each session & who have actually caused a CHANGE in my body & lowered my chronic pain, so much that I am actually not only noticing the difference in my ability to move, & that I am in far less pain — which means there are times I have NO pain!
Being able to sleep; being able to stand; being able to walk with hardly any pain for many hours in each day is such a milestone — and it is all due to Dr Jack & Dr Peyton’s treatments!!!
I suspect the rest of my life will be much different than it has been these last 35-years, so much better!!! I am functioning incredibly better with this treatment than I have in 35-years of previous 5-minute “normal chiropractor adjustment-type” treatments..
I call this progress a miracle!!!

Dr Peyton’s treatment is helping; I am back doing things I haven’t done since before Covid. She is a solid support giving suggestions, how to safely move when at home. It is her careful treatment that is pulling me out of my trouble & this is opening up my ability & willingness to do things I haven’t done in a while. My pain level has lowered about 80%, after a treatment, which helps me move about & have confidence that I can safely do things.

In 2022 I went to Dr Jack to get relief from years of chronic Hip Bursitis pain. Within 4 sessions he dramatically relieved the pain I was experiencing. His deep and extensive stretching of my hip muscles was the first time anyone was able to give me lasting pain relief.
In 2024 I went to see Dr Jack again for severe peroneal nerve pain in my foot.
I went to 2 podiatrist who could not help and they set up a Neurology appointment that was 5 months away. I could not wait that long. I had already had nerve pain for over 4 months.
His treatment was extensive in multiple areas of my foot and along the nerve path in my leg. I started to get pain relief after a couple of visits. By the end of my last visit the pain was basically gone, I could walk without a support boot. Outstanding results from his treatment plan.
Dr Jack is awesome and I highly recommend him. He thinks outside the box compared to what my other Doctors tried.

So, now my left leg was acting. No injury. Hoping it would go away on its own. He treated it, tuned an exercise to address the issue for the future. Feeling better after one day! Getting older is rough. I'm glad I have Dr. Reicke to help me along!

Nutritionist Dr. Jack P Rieke
Chiropractor, Active Release + Rehab Specialist
Dr. Rieke is always looking to build on the tools and resources he can use to provide the best care for every patient. He was inspired by Chiropractic at a young age when his mother suffered from severe and chronic pain. After seeing about 13 specialists and undergoing countless failed procedures, his mother finally experienced effective and lasting relief by visiting a Chiropractor. After becoming a patient himself, he recognized the immense impact this practice makes on the lives of many and knew right away that he wanted to pursue this career of service to others.

Chiropractor, Acupuncturist, NET, FMT, Webster Certified
At just 14 years old, Dr. Habenicht developed a passion for Chiropractic Medicine and decided this field was her future.

In high school, she sought out Chiropractic Care for a severe ankle sprain. As a result she experienced full resolution of ankle pain and weakness, and due to the comprehensive nature of the practice she also had relief of hip pain and a reduction of GERD symptoms and debilitating migraines.
