Mindful Holiday Health Tips Part 1 – Healthy Habits to Maintain During the Holidays Written by: Nancy Palermo, MD Edited by: Thrive The holiday season can be challenging for anyone trying to make healthy choices.

Understanding Insulin Resistance: Recognizing the Signs and Taking Action By Harlee Palmer, PA Edited by Thrive  At Thrive, we're committed to empowering you with knowledge to take control of your health. Today, I want to highlight an important health topic: insulin resistance. Understanding this condition, recognizing its signs, and addressing it early is vital for your overall well-being. What Is Insulin Resistance? Insulin is a hormone your pancreas produces that helps regulate blood sugar levels by allowing glucose to enter your cells for energy. Insulin resistance occurs when your body's cells don't respond effectively to insulin, causing your pancreas to produce more insulin to achieve the same effect. Over time, this can lead to elevated blood sugar levels and strain on your pancreas.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by...
