Springtime Detox to Enhance Your Immune System

Acupuncture, Dr SG, Healthy Life, Lifestyle Medicine

In theories of acupuncture, humans are looked at as part of the natural world that surrounds them. Seasons change and during this transition from one season to another, it is important to stay balanced with acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Each season is linked with an organ system in the body. Spring season is also known as the Wood element in TCM. Spring is the Liver and Gall bladder organ and meridian. Spring is when the liver should thrive. However, during transition, or early spring, the liver can get out of whack or out of harmony and become vulnerable. Acupuncture improves the function of the liver meridian and can restore balance to the organs. According to TCM, the liver is responsible for smooth flowing Qi (chi) or energy...

[caption id="attachment_4141" align="alignleft" width="300"] Trish Bennett[/caption] National Eating Disorder Awareness Week is February 26th - March 3rd. 28.8 million Americans will suffer from an eating disorder in their lifetime.  Eating disorders can affect anyone and carry an increased risk of suicide and medical complications. I want to share my personal story with all of you, hoping it may resonate with you or someone you love. Suffering from bulimia and then anorexia for a decade, I weighed 79 pounds at the height of my disease. To put it bluntly, I should be dead right now. At age 30, I thought I had overcome it, but I would then trade one obsession for another (isn’t that always the case for addictive personalities). [caption id="attachment_11271" align="alignright" width="187"] This is me when I...

Published: January 30th, 2025 Updated: February 25th, 2025 The Importance of Being Metabolically Healthy Metabolic health refers to the body's ability to efficiently convert food into energy, maintain stable blood sugar levels, regulate cholesterol and triglycerides, and support overall bodily functions. A recent study of UNC School of Public Health showed that 88% of Americans have insulin resistance, and only 12% are metabolically healthy. Metabolic health is key to preventing the development of diabetes, which now affects over 12% of Americans. Prediabetes affects more than 40% of Americans. Achieving and maintaining metabolic health is crucial for preventing chronic diseases, enhancing physical performance, and improving overall well-being. Here’s a closer look at what it means to be metabolically healthy and how you can achieve it. What Does Metabolic Health Entail? Metabolic health is...

A Holiday Gift for a Stress-Free Season

Dr NP, Healthy Life, Lifestyle, Lifestyle Medicine, Safe & Effective Supplements

As we proceed from Thanksgiving to New Year's, it seems our calendars fill with events and obligations that must be filled into our already overburdened schedules. Because of this, we put our own well-being at the bottom of our to-do list. We can disrupt our normal routines, and once this happens, it is just a matter of time before we are sleeping less, eating poorly, and experiencing personality changes that are even Grinch-like. While it should not be the case, stress is as much a holiday tradition as eggnog and mistletoe. The disrupted daily routines can quickly impact our cortisol balance, which then disrupts sleep and optimal eating, exercise, and stress reduction modalities. This then becomes a self-perpetuating cycle. While stress is inevitable, how we allow it...

Autumn & Acupuncture

Acupuncture, Dr SG, Functional and Integrative Medicine, Healthy Life, Lifestyle, Lifestyle Medicine

In traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), we look at seasons and consider them as elements. With each season, there are elements and meridians (channels) that correspond. During each season, we look at the meridians and elements and how they affect or correlate to both the physical and emotional aspects of our lives. One of the basic theories of Eastern Medicine is to look for a balance of the meridians and a balance between Yin and Yang. This is very similar to Western Medicine, where we look for homeostasis in the physiology of the body, like blood pressure and the PH in the blood. We are now going from the high energy and carefree attitudes of summer (Yang in nature) to the more serious and introspective energies (Yin) that are...

More Evidence to Support Primary Prevention in Breast Cancer Dr. Nancy A. Palermo MD A landmark study published in BMJ of Oncology by researchers at the University of Edinburgh looked at the impact of 29 cancers in individuals ages 14 to 49 in over 200 countries over 30 years. The data was disturbing as it showed a 79% increase in the incidence of cancers in individuals less than age 50 over the 30-year period. This accounted for over 3.26 million cases. The researchers postulated that it is not genetic factors contributing to this increase but rather environmental factors like our diet high in processing and added sugars, alcohol use, smoking, physical inactivity, obesity, and environmental toxins and influencers. Our genes have not changed in the past 30 years, but...

By Nancy Palermo Lietz, MD “The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will instruct his patient in the care of the human frame in diet and the cause and prevention of diseases. “ Thomas Edison Americans have an obsession with nutrition, diet, and weight loss. Countless books on the subjects hit the bestseller list, only to be replaced by the next publication in print. It should be no surprise that Dr. Colin Campbell’s book, The China Study, quickly hit the bestseller list. His epidemiologic project demonstrated thousands of associations between dietary factors and disease. The most relevant finding, however, was that those individuals who ate the most animal-based foods had the most chronic disease. More importantly, his findings launched thousands of studies in nutrition that...
