Written by: Nancy Palermo, MD | Edited by: Thrive Carolinas Our modern environment is filled with toxins—from the foods we eat and the water we drink to the air we breathe and the products we use daily. Fortunately, our bodies are naturally equipped with robust detoxification systems. The liver, gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and kidneys work together to eliminate harmful substances through urine, stool, mucus, and sweat. Sometimes, however, our “toxic load” becomes too great, and we need extra support. That’s where temporary diets and detox protocols can help. Let’s explore how the body’s built-in detoxification process works and ways to support it naturally. Factors Influencing Toxic Load Several elements can affect how well our bodies handle toxins, including: Environment: Pollutants, chemicals, and other external contaminants Genetics: Inherited predispositions that...

Looking for a little motivation to jumpstart your health and fitness goals? Dr. Palermo has some expert advice: start tracking your macronutrients! If you’ve never considered the benefits of balancing proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, now is the perfect time to learn how to help you reach your wellness targets. Why Counting Macros Matters Macronutrients—often called “macros”—are the nutrients our bodies need in large amounts. They include: Protein: Essential for muscle maintenance and repair, as well as satiety and energy. Fats: Critical for hormone production, nutrient absorption, and overall health. Carbohydrates: The body’s primary source of quick energy, especially important for active individuals. When you track your macros, you create a healthier eating roadmap that allows for variety and flexibility. By balancing these three components, you can optimize your nutrition,...

Are you looking to shed unwanted pounds, build muscle, or simply eat healthier? Although we’ve long heard that weight management is all about “calories in and calories out,” there’s more to it than just tracking calories. By focusing on macronutrients—proteins, fats, and carbohydrates—you can create a more personalized, effective plan to reach your health goals without feeling deprived. So, What Exactly are Macronutrients? “Macros” is short for macronutrients, the nutrients that provide energy, specifically proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Proteins and carbohydrates provide four calories per gram, and fats deliver nine calories per gram. We need to consider macronutrients as a source of fuel for our bodies. The total calorie intake comes from the macronutrients.  We do not want to confuse macronutrients with micronutrients. Micronutrients are the vitamins and minerals...
