Getting More Protein in Your Diet: Protein Powders and Whey Protein

Getting enough protein, especially 30g per meal, can be tough, and that’s where protein powders come in. However, many contain additives like artificial colors, sweeteners, and fillers that aren't ideal for health. Look for powders free from these and check the sugar content, as some can have high carbs, which isn’t helpful for weight management. Whey protein, a popular option, is made from the liquid whey left during cheese production. It comes in forms like concentrate, isolate, and hydrolysate. Whey protein isolate is highly concentrated, with 90-95% protein and minimal lactose, making it suitable for many lactose-intolerant individuals. Whey is known for its high biological value (BV), meaning the body can easily absorb and use it for muscle growth and repair. It's rich in essential amino acids, particularly branched-chain...

We are looking for comfort foods and anything with pumpkin spice with dropping fall temperatures. This recipe features red kuri squash, a thin-skinned orange-colored winter Squash. You can find this gourd at the grocery store or local farmers' markets. Red kuri squash is a cultivated variety of the species Cucurbita maxima. It looks like a small pumpkin without the ridges. Inside the hard outer skin is a firm flesh with a delicate and mellow chestnut-like flavor. Once cooked, the skin softens and can be eaten, too. Red kuri squash is a good source of fiber. It also provides vitamin A, vitamin C, and some of the B beta-carotene. This squash is perfect with fall spices in this comforting soup. Ingredients: 1 Red kuri Squash, medium sized 2 T unsalted...

  [caption id="attachment_11875" align="alignleft" width="226"] Dr. Scott Greenapple[/caption] A relatively recent treatment seems to be sweeping across the healthcare industry. Although we have known for many years what the Vagus nerve is responsible for, relatively newer information is available on how many systems are affected by stimulating or increasing what is known as Vagal tone. You would be hard-pressed these days to attend a health conference, read a health magazine, attend a biohacking conference, or visit any social media health website and not find an article or two on the Vagus nerve. Is it possible that this one long nerve in the body can help reduce stress, anxiety, and panic attacks, improve sleep/insomnia, maintain a healthy heart, dampen inflammation, maintain a healthy gut and digestion, increase heart rate variability,...

In May of this year, the Surgeon General, Dr Viveck Murthy, gave an advisory on our epidemic of loneliness and isolation. He laid out a framework for a National Strategy to Advance Social Connection in this rather extensive, wordy PDF. He details recommendations that individuals, governments, workplaces, health systems, and community organizations can take to increase connection in the lives of individuals and communities across the country to improve mental and physical health. It turns out we were already doing all of the things at Thrive, but let’s think about how they might help our overall health. We are still struggling with the downstream effects of the COVID epidemic. One of the most noticeable impacts on society is the decline of mental health. We struggled before the pandemic due to...

[caption id="attachment_8775" align="alignleft" width="240"] Harlee Palmer, PA-C[/caption] By: Harlee Palmer, PA-C Insulin resistance is a growing health concern, often preceding type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and metabolic syndrome. As the body's cells become less responsive to insulin, a hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar levels, glucose builds up in the bloodstream. This leads to a range of metabolic issues that can have long-term health consequences. By some counts, over 80% of our population has some degree of insulin resistance. Early detection and lifestyle changes can sometimes mitigate these risks and even reverse insulin resistance. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that allows cells to absorb glucose from the blood, converting it into energy. In insulin resistance, the body's cells become less responsive to insulin, requiring more of the...
