It is Not All in Your Head: A Discussion of the Role Lifestyle and Diet Play in Mental Disease

October 31, 2023

Functional and Integrative Medicine, Health Coaching, Healthy Life, Lifestyle, Nutrition, Uncategorized

Nancy A. Palermo MD We have always suspected that ultra-processed diets were linked to chronic diseases, including psychiatric diseases like depression and anxiety, but a recently published in JAMA (September 2023) showed that women who consumed the most ultra-processed foods (foods high in salt, sugar, refined carbohydrates, hydrogenated oils, and artificial additives) were 50% more likely to suffer from depression than those women who avoided these foods. This is yet another study to support the fact that mental disorders are not distinct entities and have a tremendous overlap with other physical disorders. A poor diet can largely influence both mental disorders and physical disorders. Some researchers, like Dr. Christopher Palmer, a Harvard Psychiatrist and researcher and author of Brain Energy, have even suggested that many mental disorders can...

The Misunderstood Egg

October 24, 2023

Healthy Eating

Recently, while reviewing a patient’s labs in the office, I was shocked when she proclaimed her primary physician told her she needed to stop eating eggs because it was raising her cholesterol. I was surprised to hear that someone was still giving this advice. I know some in the lay population have not gotten the memo, but I was surprised a physician would still be that misinformed. Unfortunately, I continue to hear this advice from patients: “To reduce your cholesterol, eat fewer eggs and eat less meat.” There has been a lot of misinformation about eggs. Hopefully, this article will help to straighten things out. First, I thought I would share some fun facts about eggs to keep this light, and then I will get into all the...
