Dr SG, Healthy Life, Lifestyle Medicine, Yoga

By: Dr. Scott Greenapple With all the turmoil, anger frustration, and general upheaval in the country and world right now, I thought this would be the perfect time to guide you through a meditation to quiet the mind and open the heart. https://vimeo.com/426720724 Metta or Loving Kindness Meditation is a method of developing compassion.  More information is sent from the heart to the brain than from the brain to the heart. When we hold compassion, joy, love and equanimity in the heart, we can help bring those qualities and awareness to not only ourselves, but to those we come in contact with or just hold dear to us.   These meditations are great ways to cultivate our sense of compassion, thereby sending out good will, kindness and warmth by...

Article Courtesy of The Institute of Functional Medicine Chronobiology & Circadian Medicine Chronobiology is the study of biologic rhythms, including circadian rhythms, that follow a daily or ~24-hour cycle. Sleeping at night and being awake during the day is an example of a circadian rhythm related to light. In this instance, the daily light and dark cycle is an important zeitgeber, or natural time cue that influences the circadian pattern.1 Our internal biological clocks produce circadian rhythms that are regulated through clock genes and are involved in the essential functioning of both central and peripheral tissues.1,2 Specifically, to modulate various body processes, core clock genes known as period and cryptochrome genes are believed to act as transcriptional regulators that affect the circadian expression of certain rhythmically expressed genes and...

Meditation plays a bigger and bigger role in our society just as yoga did at its early stages in 2000, and 20 years later part of our society. Isabel Shankle has been teaching yoga and meditation for more than 20 years Meditation is one more necessary tool in the “ toolbox” to learn to cope with life’s challenges. The question is , how do we deal with our challenges in the best possible way. During this pandemic many people have been connecting and reconnecting all over the world virtually, holding space for one another, feeling the truth, and being part of a community. The body- the breath- is able to release any emotion, any pain by paying attention to the inner body as well as the outer body...

Dr SG, Uncategorized

Dr. Scott Greenapple With all the media coverage, the daily barrage of political briefings as to what we can do to avoid getting COVID-19 or what will be the best new medicine or vaccine developed; very few if any are speaking about how we can enhance our own immune systems. It is very clear that those who are at the most risk of severe illness or death, for the most part, are those who are older or have a compromised or weakened immune system. This is a common theme amongst most illnesses. If we have a strong immune defense system, theoretically, we have the best chances of fighting off most illnesses, including viruses. If in fact there is a second round of this or another increase...

Dr AF-Functional Medicine, Healthy Life, Lifestyle Medicine, Uncategorized

It has been over 500 years since Ponce De Leon embarked on his quest in search of the Fountain of Youth.  Unfortunately despite our vast expanses in knowledge and understanding of the human body, we have yet to find the holy grail of anti-aging.  Social media and modern-day marketing, complete with a vast array of health tips, biohacking expert advice, dietary gimmicks, and quick-fix solutions, would lead you to believe otherwise.  If only it were that easy!  Staying healthy and aging well is a complicated business but at the foundation, it can be rather simple.  It all comes down to how our cells are aging on the inside that really matters.  Most of us are familiar with tracking our blood pressure, weight, laboratory data, and...
