What Makes Functional Nutrition Different?

Functional nutrition isn’t about adding more supplements. It’s about asking better questions.

At Covenant Wellness, functional nutrition means:

• testing with purpose
• looking for patterns
• understanding how systems interact
• turning complex information into a clear plan

We don’t chase symptoms. We identify what’s driving them—and support the body where it needs it most.

That’s the difference between guessing and healing.

Acupuncture is an effective way to manage arthritis symptoms.

Pain isn’t always a structural problem—it’s often a nervous system problem.

Acupuncture helps calm overstimulated nerves, improve blood flow, and reduce inflammation, so the body can reset and heal. Many patients notice improvements in pain, stress, sleep, and overall regulation.

It’s gentle. It’s evidence-informed. And it works beautifully alongside chiropractic care.

👉 Book with us to see how acupuncture can support your healing.

In 2025, we explored the science behind recovery—and found common threads in every topic we covered:

Low cholesterol isn’t just a number—it impacts mood, cognition, and myelination.

Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction underlie fatigue, anxiety, and regression.

Food allergies and sensitivities inflame the gut and brain alike.
PANS and PANDAS reveal how powerful—and fragile—the immune system can be.

Functional nutrition continues to transform how we approach every case.

Together, these discoveries make up a roadmap for true recovery.

Headaches are not “just stress.” And popping pain relievers isn’t a long-term solution.

Acupuncture is a highly effective, drug-free option for headaches and migraines.

It works by:

✔ Regulating pain pathways in the brain
✔ Improving blood flow to the head and neck
✔ Reducing muscle tension
✔ Calming the nervous system
✔ Addressing inflammation and triggers at the root

We commonly use acupuncture for:

• Tension headaches
• Migraines
• Cervicogenic headaches (neck-related)
• Chronic or recurrent headaches that don’t fully respond to medication

If headaches are interfering with your work, sleep, or quality of life, acupuncture may offer relief—without simply masking the symptoms.

📍 Schedule an acupuncture appointment and let’s address the WHY behind your headaches.

Lending Hope - One Family at a Time

Dr. Sonia McGowin, DC is a Chiropractor and DAN! doctor, practicing in Jefferson City, Missouri. The focus of her practice is children with disabilities ranging from learning disabilities to autism. She uses a biomedical and nutritional approach to treating their specific issues. Dr. McGowin is a graduate of Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City and lives in Jefferson City with her husband, two children, and their English Bulldog, Lola. Before becoming a Chiropractor, she was the Deputy Director of Outreach Services for the Judevine Center for Autism (now called Easter Seals Midwest), working with families with autism across 92 counties of Missouri for 14 years. It was after attending a DAN! conference in 2001 when she realized that autism is medical, and decided to become a DAN! doctor. Dr. Sonia has spent her career working with children and adults with autism, but she's also a parent of a child with unique needs. As a toddler, her son displayed many troubling issues, such as a severe speech delay, self-injurious and aggressive behaviors; traditional medicine offered no hope or help for her family. After undertaking biomedical intervention, he is now highly verbal and very talented, yet still dealing with food allergies and learning disabilities. After the experience with her son, she vowed that no family should feel alone in their quest to recover their child. These experiences, along with her training as a DAN! doctor, give Dr McGowin a unique skillset to offer interventions working toward the treatment of children with disabilities on any range of the spectrum. She uses a variety of approaches including lab testing, chiropractic, supplements, food allergy and sensitivity testing, essential oils, as well as the IonCleanse by AMD. She is sought after among many groups on social media, and has worked with patients from more than half a dozen states, other countries and from all parts of her home state of Missouri. Dr. Sonia McGowin offers her professional opinion in overview format to multiple audiences. She is a contributing writer for the Missouri Autism Report magazine. She was a presenter at the AutismOne 2016 Conference sharing "Detoxifying Across Barriers: Harnessing the Power of Ions". She relishes opportunities to share her expertise in the use of nutrition, essential oils, detoxification and other remedies addressing interventions for individuals with Autism and other neurodevelopmental challenges. In May 2017, Dr. McGowin started her own practice dedicated to her dream of supporting children with disabilities and their families. Her office is located in Jefferson City, Missouri, yet she consults with patients all over the world via phone and Zoom video conference. She welcomes patients who are close enough to come and visit her in her office. In addition, she has held one day regional clinics in Denver, Colorado; Springfield, Missouri; Cape Girardeau, MIssouri; and hope to expand to some other areas in the coming year. You will not find a practitioner who is more committed, engaged and educated as Dr. Sonia McGowin. You will find her compassion is relentless in the pursuit of helping children everywhere recover from vaccine injuries. Her down to earth and practical approach to supporting kids and their families is a welcome change from the typical medical professionals we deal with each day. She is approachable and easy to talk to and unassuming in her patient manner. If you are interested in meeting with Dr. Sonia please contact her Covenant Integrative Wellness offices at the contact information listed on this page and begin the next phase of your journey started.
