Dr NP, Health Hints, Healthy Life, Lifestyle

The holiday season is meant to bring joy, connection, and celebration. Still, it can just as easily lead to stress, over-scheduling, disrupted routines, and feeling burnt out before the new year even begins. The good news: with a mindful, intentional approach, you can fully enjoy the season and stay grounded in habits that support your health. Below are updated strategies from the Thrive team to help you navigate the holiday rush with clarity, balance, and well-being. 1. Slow Down and Choose Presence Over Perfection Between travel, gift-giving, and social gatherings, the season can feel like a sprint. This year, notice where you may be overcommitting or striving for unrealistic expectations. Try this: Take two minutes each morning to set an intention for how you want to feel that day. ...

Monday Motivation, Motivation

Staying Healthy Through the Holidays In this week's Motivation, Dr. Palermo reminds us that the holiday rush doesn’t have to derail your health. Did you know that up to 75% of annual weight gain happens during the six weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s? It’s a busy, joyful time, but also one that challenges even our best routines. The good news: staying on track is absolutely possible. Focus on the Foundations You don’t need to overhaul your routine to feel your best this season. Consistency with a few key habits can make all the difference: Move daily. Even short walks or quick workouts help regulate energy, mood, and metabolism. Prioritize protein. A balanced plate supports blood sugar and keeps you satisfied longer. Sleep well. Rest is essential for hormone balance, recovery,...

Crispy pan-seared fish filet topped with avocado sauce, diced tomato, and cilantro, served with a lemon wedge on a white plate.

Restaurant-Inspired Fish at Home

Ever wonder why fish tastes so good at a restaurant? Crispy skin, flaky inside, beautifully plated? The secret isn’t magic; it’s method. Many home cooks avoid pan-searing fish because of one frustrating problem- sticking. But here’s the truth: with the right technique, you can achieve that same golden, crisp skin and tender, perfectly cooked interior right in your own kitchen. Beyond taste and texture, keeping the skin on your fish adds nutrition. The skin contains the highest concentration of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health, so don’t toss that flavor or those nutrients away! Parchment-Seared Perfection You’ll Need: 4 fish filets of your choice (halibut, salmon, or snapper work beautifully) 1 lemon, for seasoning and garnish Avocado oil Salt and pepper Cast-iron or stainless-steel pan Parchment paper Directions Prep...

Dr. Palermo and Dr. Fletcher sharing a Thanksgiving message of gratitude

Gratitude Shifts Everything

Monday Motivation, Motivation

Holiday Motivation with Dr. Palermo & Dr. Fletcher As we move into Thanksgiving week, Dr. Palermo and Dr. Fletcher are sharing a simple reminder: gratitude shifts everything. It’s easy to get caught up in the rush of the holidays, planning, preparing, doing. But when we pause to notice what’s going well, what we’re thankful for, and who we get to share life with, our perspective begins to shift. The noise of what’s missing naturally quiets down, and what matters most becomes clear. The Science Behind Gratitude Gratitude isn’t just a mindset; it’s a physiological practice. Studies show that regularly expressing gratitude can lower stress hormones, reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and even strengthen immune function. At Thrive, we see this every day in our patients: those who take time to reflect,...

Dr. Larson discussing pre-diabetes and early detection at Thrive Carolinas

Understanding Pre-Diabetes: Why Early Detection Matters

Pre-Diabetes: Why Early Detection Matters #MondayMotivation with Dr. Larson In this week's Motivation, Dr. Larson breaks down pre-diabetes, what it is, why early detection matters, and the key lab work you and your physician should review to catch it before it progresses. What Is Pre-Diabetes? Pre-diabetes occurs when blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. It’s your body’s early warning sign that glucose metabolism is off balance, often years before symptoms appear. At this stage, lifestyle changes can still make a tremendous difference. Recognizing and addressing pre-diabetes early can reverse the trend and prevent long-term complications such as diabetes, heart disease, and nerve damage. Key Labs to Review During your annual visit, talk with your provider about reviewing the following...

This month in our Thrive Cooking Class, we focused on elevating everyday meals, learning how a few new ingredients can transform a simple dish into something special. These Thai Coconut Curry Meatballs are the perfect example: rich in flavor, high in protein, and easy to prepare. Red curry paste, fish sauce, and lime zest bring depth and balance, while light coconut milk keeps the sauce creamy without being heavy. Whether served over soba noodles, rice, or stir-fried vegetables, this dish proves that healthy and flavorful can absolutely go hand in hand. Ingredients For the Meatballs: 1 lb 93% lean ground turkey or chicken 2 large egg whites ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if needed) 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions 2 tablespoons finely chopped Thai basil (or regular...

In this week's Motivation, Dr. Fletcher reminds us that the gut isn’t just where digestion happens, it’s where health begins. Your gut microbiome influences everything from metabolism and mood to immune resilience and inflammation. When your gut is out of balance, it can affect nearly every system in your body. That’s why the Thrive team is inviting you to a special Yoga & Learn: Heal Your Gut session on Monday, November 17th, dedicated to restoring your gut and reclaiming your health from the inside out. Why Gut Health Matters A healthy gut is foundational to overall well-being. It supports nutrient absorption, hormone balance, detoxification, and immune function. When the microbiome becomes imbalanced, it can trigger inflammation, fatigue, brain fog, and chronic disease. During this class, we’ll explore: How the...
