Monday Motivation, Motivation

In this week's Motivation, Dr. Tracy Larson talks about the benefits of cooking from home. There are many reasons why it's vital to consider cooking from home, but some of the key reasons are that it is sustainable and cost-effective, and you'll be more in tune with healthier foods with reasonable portion sizes and less sodium than when eating out! Are you interested in learning more about how to get started? Thrive is offering a cooking class based on our cookbook on September 17th at 6 pm. Don’t have the Thrive Cookbook yet?

Dr SG, Health Hints, Healthy Life, Lifestyle, Lifestyle Medicine

[caption id="attachment_11165" align="alignleft" width="232"] Dr. Scott Greenapple[/caption] In Chinese medicine, when the seasons change, the elements change. In Eastern philosophy, there are five elements, and summer has two parts: early and late summer. Late summer is the short period between summer and fall, a transitional period that prepares us for the fall season. The element is the Earth element. The two meridians associated with the Earth element are the stomach and spleen (pancreas is combined with the spleen). Earth is a stabilizing force during these times of transition. Being grounded to the earth is especially important this time of year. We need to get centered, balanced, and grounded as we start to organize and get ready for the harvest of fall. The meridians of the stomach and spleen/pancreas are...

It’s Pumpkin Season

Dr NP, Health Hints, Healthy Eating, Healthy Life, Lifestyle, Lifestyle Medicine

As fall approaches, temperatures drop, leaves start to change, and Starbucks releases its menu of fall favorites like Pumpkin spice. Pumpkins have become synonymous with fall, so it makes sense to feature them in autumn recipes and tout their many health benefits. Pumpkins are a type of squash in the Cucurbita family, which also includes other winter squash, zucchini, and cucumbers. They were discovered over 10,000 years ago in Guatemala and Mexico and were treasured for their seeds. With cultivation and agricultural changes, however, pumpkins, like many other harvests, have become sweeter, fleshier, and more like the winter squash we see in the supermarkets. Pumpkins have many health benefits, motivating you to include them in your fall recipes. Pumpkin is a starchy vegetable, but it is relatively low in...

[caption id="attachment_12023" align="alignleft" width="225"] Dr. Amy Fletcher[/caption] Creatine is a naturally occurring compound critical in storing and releasing energy.    Creatine is found naturally in muscle cells and helps direct various physiologic functions by producing a high-energy molecule called ATP. It was first popularized in the 1980s to enhance athletic performance and strength. However, creatine is not just for bodybuilders and elite athletes. There is a growing body of research into its important role in optimizing overall health.     One of the primary considerations is the vital role of creatine in maintaining bone and muscle mass.  This becomes a critical area of focus as we age, whether or not we have athletic goals. All activiies of daily living require adequate muscle strength and stamina and we start to lose...
