Dr. Alex Sheppard I practice Quantum Nutrition Testing, Nutrition Response Testing and Chiropractic at Oasis Chiropractic & Wellness Center. That's why I do what I do. Hey there!

Find the root cause of your health problem, correct it and live your life to your fullest potential. I’m Dr. Alex Sheppard, one of the co-founders of Oasis Chiropractic & Wellness Center, and I’m thrilled to share my journey with you! For the past 20 years, I’ve had the awesome opportunity to help thousands of people feel fantastic and elevate their health game. At Oasis, we’re all about pain relief through chiropractic care, but we don’t stop there! We offer a treasure trove of additional services, including active rehab, weight loss programs, body contouring light therapy, and our latest gem: Nutrition Response Testing! Let me take you back to 2018. I received a postcard from Standard Process inviting me to a seminar on Nutrition Response Testing. Honestly, I had no clue what it was, but they were offering 8 free continuing education credits, and who could resist that? I thought, “Why not?”

That seminar was a total game-changer! I had a light bulb moment when the speaker showcased how NRT pinpoints weak areas in the body, identifies problems, and provides tailored solutions. In the past, I’d give nutrition advice without really knowing what my patients needed. Now, thanks to NRT, I can answer all those burning questions! Nutrition Response Testing has transformed my life and my family’s. For years, my wife battled headaches and neck pain, and while I did my best to adjust her, it was NRT that truly turned things around! She’s now feeling amazing, sleeping like a baby, and even back to exercising. As for me, I rarely get sick, have loads of energy, and enjoy fantastic sleep! Our kids are on NRT programs too, keeping them healthy and thriving! Lately, I’ve been diving deep into balancing hormones—both for men and women. I work with folks dealing with digestion issues, food sensitivities, parasites, fatigue and chronic pain. Whether it’s a food, a bug or a toxin, we’ve got solutions to help tackle your symptoms. With detoxification and correcting nutritional deficiencies, we can bring your body back into harmony! Let’s embark on this wellness adventure together!

If your energy crashes every February, it’s not a willpower problem.

This time of year often exposes what’s been quietly building for months —
low-grade inflammation, nutrient depletion, detox overload, and gut stress.
When your body runs out of reserve, fatigue shows up first.

The key is identifying what is draining your system — not just pushing through it.
That’s how energy actually comes back.

10 Years of Peeling, Cracking Skin… Gone After Fixing the REAL Problem

“Hi, my name is Courtney, and I dealt with peeling, cracking skin on my hands for over 10 years.”

That’s how she started.
Like many people with skin issues, Courtney tried the usual routes—topicals, creams, hoping it would eventually calm down. But it never did. The skin on her hands kept peeling and cracking year after year.

When she came into my office, we didn’t start with a prescription.
We started by asking a different question:
Why is the skin reacting in the first place?
In my practice, skin problems are rarely skin-deep. They’re often connected to:

• Digestive stress
• Inflammation
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Food sensitivities
• Immune or detox overload

Once we identified what was actually driving the issue, Courtney followed a personalized plan—diet changes plus targeted supplements designed to support her body’s ability to heal.
No guessing. No trial-and-error creams.

Within a couple of months, the changes were obvious.
Her words, not mine:
“The results were amazing. The main thing to remember is: just follow the program.”

Here’s the part most people don’t talk about…
It often takes months just to get in to see a dermatologist
And when you do, the solution is usually symptom control—not answers. That approach can manage flare-ups, but it doesn’t always explain why the problem started or why it keeps coming back.

If you’ve been dealing with chronic skin issues and feel stuck in the waiting game—or the prescription cycle—there may be another path worth exploring.

Sometimes the skin isn’t the problem. It’s the signal. If this sounds familiar, start by asking better questions about your health.

And yes—results depend on following the plan.
