Nancy A. Palermo MD As we begin to learn more about the impact of our gut health, we realize we may only be as healthy as our gut. Our gut microbiome, the microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa living in our digestive tract, appears to play a significant role in our metabolism, immune and neuroendocrine responses. Roles of the microbiome include nutrient and mineral absorption, synthesis of important enzymes, vitamins, and amino acids, and production of 70% of our neurotransmitters, like serotonin and melatonin. Our gut bacteria are also responsible for producing compounds called short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Science shows SCFAs are the drivers of gut health. They appear to improve the gut environment by helping commensal or good bacteria grow. SCFAs repair intestinal permeability, referred to as “leaky...

Dr NP, Healthy Eating, Lifestyle Medicine, Nancy's articles, Weight Management

Nancy A. Palermo MD Everyone knows the saying” An apple a day keeps the doctor away” but current research into the power of food shows there are real reasons this powerful fruit might just reduce your doctor visits. Apples are nutritional powerhouses providing 4 gm of fiber, Vitamin C, and K but more importantly, one apple can provide 22% of the phenolic antioxidants. Antioxidants are compounds that help to neutralize free radicals in the body which can lead to tissue damage. Getting sufficient antioxidants is associated with a reduction in cancer cell proliferation, reduction in damage to our DNA, reduction of lipid oxidation, and cholesterol reduction leading to a reduction in cancer and heart disease. One medium-sized apple contains less than 100 calories and up to 4 gm...

Our primary goal at Thrive is to optimize our patients' health and well-being and foster vitality in mind, body, and spirit at every age. We encourage nutrient-rich diets, regular exercise, and a dedicated focus on self-care. However, one topic not as openly discussed is that of sexual health. Over the years, childbirth, menopause, aging, and gravity can take a toll on women's vaginal tissues. The muscles, ligaments, and fascia within the vaginal canal become weaker and, as a result, can impact bladder function and sexual intimacy. Fortunately, there is an increasing number of non-invasive options to address these issues. The physicians at Thrive have been offering Viveve non-invasive vaginal rejuvenation treatment over the past few years to improve women's lives (and the lives of their...
