Enzyme Nutrition
Find where your body is under stress — then support it on purpose.
The Enzyme Deficiency Assessment is a systematic, in-office look at how your body is running. Instead of guessing which supplement to try, we use your health history, a symptom survey, and hands-on assessment to see which systems could use nutritional support — so any whole-food nutrition is aimed where it can actually help.
No pressure and no guesswork — just an honest look at what your body is asking for.
At a glance
What it is
A structured in-office assessment that helps map where your body is under stress and which systems could use nutritional support.
What it replaces
The “pop and pray” habit of chasing symptoms with random pills — with targeted, whole-food nutrition guided by what we actually find.
Good to know
It’s an assessment that guides nutritional support — not a medical test, and not a way to diagnose disease. For diagnosis, see your medical doctor.
The basics
What the Enzyme Deficiency Assessment is
Most supplement use is what Dr. Marrone calls “pop and pray” — chasing relief with whatever pill sounds promising and hoping something sticks. The Enzyme Deficiency Assessment takes the guessing out of it. It’s a systematic look at how your body is functioning, so nutritional support can be aimed at the source of the stress instead of the symptom.
The name points to enzymes — the small workers behind digestion and countless everyday processes — but the assessment looks at the bigger picture: how well your body is breaking down food, where it seems to be working overtime, and which systems could use support. It’s part of Dr. Marrone’s wider approach to enzyme nutrition, where whole-food nutrition is chosen to support healthy function rather than mask how you feel.
To be clear about what it isn’t: this is an assessment that guides nutritional support, not a medical diagnostic test. It doesn’t diagnose, treat, or cure disease. If you’re looking for a diagnosis, that’s a conversation for your medical doctor — and the assessment is meant to complement, not replace, the care you already receive.
How it works
Three sources of information, one clear picture.
Your health history
We start with the story behind how you feel — your diet, digestion, energy, sleep, and the patterns you’ve noticed over time. Context matters, and no two people arrive with the same picture.
A symptom survey
A structured survey groups the everyday signals you notice — bloating, mid-afternoon slumps, cravings, sluggish digestion — so patterns can point us toward the systems that seem to be under the most stress.
Hands-on assessment
A gentle, hands-on assessment helps locate where the body is holding stress. Together with your history and survey, it turns scattered clues into a clearer sense of where nutritional support could help.
None of these steps label you with a condition. Together they help map how your unique system is working, so any whole-food nutrition we suggest is targeted to you rather than pulled from a one-size-fits-all shelf.
What to expect
Your visit, step by step.
The assessment is unhurried and easy to sit through. It moves through four simple steps — listen, survey, assess, and support — so you leave with a plan that makes sense to you.
01
We listen
We start by talking through your history — how you eat, how you feel through the day, and what’s brought you in. No rush, and no jargon.
02
You complete the survey
You’ll work through a straightforward symptom survey. It only takes a few minutes and helps organize the signals your body has been sending.
03
We assess
A gentle, hands-on assessment brings it all together, helping locate where your body seems to be under the most stress and which systems could use support.
04
We support
You’ll leave with a targeted, food-first plan to support healthy function — whole-food nutrition aimed where it’s needed, not a shelf of hopeful pills.
The Enzyme Deficiency Assessment, specifically
Questions people ask about the assessment
Is this a medical test or a diagnosis?
No. The Enzyme Deficiency Assessment is an assessment that guides nutritional support — it isn’t a medical diagnostic test, and it doesn’t diagnose, treat, or cure any disease. Dr. Marrone is a Doctor of Chiropractic, and this is about supporting healthy function with whole-food nutrition. If you need a diagnosis, please see your medical doctor; the assessment is meant to complement that care, not replace it.
How is this different from just buying supplements?
Most supplement use is “pop and pray” — grabbing random pills and hoping something helps. This assessment takes the guessing out of it by looking at your history, a symptom survey, and a hands-on assessment first, so any whole-food nutrition is aimed at where your body is actually under stress rather than a generic guess.
What actually happens during the assessment?
It’s an unhurried, four-step visit — we talk through your history, you complete a short symptom survey, we do a gentle hands-on assessment, and then we map out a targeted nutrition plan. There’s nothing invasive or uncomfortable about it, and we’ll explain what we’re seeing as we go.
Will it tell me exactly what’s wrong with me?
It’s not designed to name a condition — that’s a job for your medical doctor. What it does is help show where your body seems to be under stress and which systems could use nutritional support, so we can make food-first recommendations that fit you rather than a template.
When should I see my medical doctor instead?
Any time you have symptoms that are severe, sudden, or persistent — unexplained weight loss, ongoing pain, or changes that worry you — that’s a conversation for your physician, and we’ll always tell you so. Nutritional support works best alongside the medical care you already receive, not in place of it.
This is general information, not medical advice. Nutritional support is not a substitute for the diagnosis or treatment of a medical condition — for that, please see your medical doctor. Enzyme nutrition is offered to support healthy function alongside the care you already receive, and is never intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease.
