Health Hints, Healthy Life, Lifestyle, Lifestyle Medicine

As summer travel season heats up, a new Omicron subvariant, NB.1.8.1, has been making headlines. Though it’s the dominant strain in China and some surrounding regions, early data shows it remains uncommon in the U.S. Still, it’s a good reminder that staying healthy while traveling requires a few thoughtful strategies. What You Should Know About NB.1.8.1 This emerging strain is part of the Omicron lineage, but it hasn’t been classified as a new variant in the U.S., since it lacks the number of mutations required to meet that definition. So far, most symptoms have been mild and have resolved within 2 to 3 days. One standout symptom is a very sore throat, often described as feeling like "razor blade irritation." While not more severe than previous strains, it may...

A Nutrient-Packed Summer Favorite Summer is the perfect season to enjoy fresh apricots, and don’t underestimate this small but mighty fruit! Apricots are rich in vitamin C, fiber, and polyphenol antioxidants, which are linked to reduced oxidative stress and inflammation.

How Stress Affects Your Hormones And What You Can Do About It

Monday Motivation, Motivation

We all know stress can impact our mood, sleep, and energy. But did you know it can also throw your hormones out of balance? In this week's Motivation, Harlee Palmer, PA explains how chronic stress can interfere with hormone regulation and what you can do to regain control of your health. The Stress-Hormone Connection When your body is under stress, it produces higher levels of cortisol, a hormone designed to help you respond to danger. While cortisol is helpful in short bursts (like when you’re running late or facing a deadline), prolonged stress keeps your cortisol levels elevated, which can cause: Disrupted sleep patterns Weight gain, especially around the midsection Fatigue and brain fog Mood swings and anxiety Irregular menstrual cycles or worsened menopause symptoms Stress doesn’t just affect...

Blog, Dr NP, Functional and Integrative Medicine, Healthy Life, Lifestyle Medicine, Nancy's articles, Traditional Medical Care

By Dr. Nancy A. Palermo This year’s International Conference for the Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM) brought together over 1,500 forward-thinking healthcare professionals from around the world, all focused on a powerful theme: Transformation. As someone deeply committed to the principles of Functional Medicine, I was inspired by the conversations and research presented, ranging from AI in healthcare and cognitive decline reversal to regenerative agriculture, mitochondrial health, and muscle-centric medicine. These topics share a common goal: to redefine the way we approach health and healing. Why Functional Medicine Matters Now More Than Ever The data is overwhelming—new medical research is doubling every 76 days, yet conventional medicine continues to fall behind. Despite spending 17–30% of our GDP on healthcare, the U.S. ranks among the sickest nations in the developed...

Monday Motivation, Motivation

When it comes to living a long and healthy life, the best teachers may be the people who’ve already done it, centenarians. These remarkable individuals, many of whom live well past 100, often defy the odds by maintaining energy, resilience, and independence well into old age. So, what’s their secret? One key factor researchers have uncovered is the diversity of their gut microbiomes. A diverse gut microbiome is linked to better digestion, stronger immunity, reduced inflammation, and improved overall health, all of which are essential for longevity. What supports a healthy gut? The answer is surprisingly simple: a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and fiber. These plant-based foods feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut, helping to promote microbial diversity and long-term wellness. Thoughts from Dr. Palermo: "Focus on adding more...
