Motivation with Dr. Franny Goshtasbpour In this week's Motivation, Dr. Franny Goshtasbpour, clinical psychologist at Thrive, shares practical ways to navigate the holiday season, whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert, and how to care for yourself through it all. The holidays can bring joy, connection, and celebration, but they can also feel overwhelming. Social expectations, crowded calendars, travel, family dynamics, and shifting routines can challenge even the most grounded among us. Understanding your personality tendencies can help you move through the season with more ease, balance, and authenticity. If You’re an Introvert Introverts often thrive in calm, quieter environments, so the holiday rush can drain energy quickly. Dr. Franny recommends: Built-in recharge time. Give yourself space between events to rest, reset, and restore. Honor your limits. It’s okay...

Staying Healthy Through the Holidays In this week's Motivation, Dr. Palermo reminds us that the holiday rush doesn’t have to derail your health. Did you know that up to 75% of annual weight gain happens during the six weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s? It’s a busy, joyful time, but also one that challenges even our best routines. The good news: staying on track is absolutely possible. Focus on the Foundations You don’t need to overhaul your routine to feel your best this season. Consistency with a few key habits can make all the difference: Move daily. Even short walks or quick workouts help regulate energy, mood, and metabolism. Prioritize protein. A balanced plate supports blood sugar and keeps you satisfied longer. Sleep well. Rest is essential for hormone balance, recovery,...

Holiday Motivation with Dr. Palermo & Dr. Fletcher As we move into Thanksgiving week, Dr. Palermo and Dr. Fletcher are sharing a simple reminder: gratitude shifts everything. It’s easy to get caught up in the rush of the holidays, planning, preparing, doing. But when we pause to notice what’s going well, what we’re thankful for, and who we get to share life with, our perspective begins to shift. The noise of what’s missing naturally quiets down, and what matters most becomes clear. The Science Behind Gratitude Gratitude isn’t just a mindset; it’s a physiological practice. Studies show that regularly expressing gratitude can lower stress hormones, reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and even strengthen immune function. At Thrive, we see this every day in our patients: those who take time to reflect,...

Pre-Diabetes: Why Early Detection Matters #MondayMotivation with Dr. Larson In this week's Motivation, Dr. Larson breaks down pre-diabetes, what it is, why early detection matters, and the key lab work you and your physician should review to catch it before it progresses. What Is Pre-Diabetes? Pre-diabetes occurs when blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. It’s your body’s early warning sign that glucose metabolism is off balance, often years before symptoms appear. At this stage, lifestyle changes can still make a tremendous difference. Recognizing and addressing pre-diabetes early can reverse the trend and prevent long-term complications such as diabetes, heart disease, and nerve damage. Key Labs to Review During your annual visit, talk with your provider about reviewing the following...

In this week's Motivation, Dr. Fletcher reminds us that the gut isn’t just where digestion happens, it’s where health begins. Your gut microbiome influences everything from metabolism and mood to immune resilience and inflammation. When your gut is out of balance, it can affect nearly every system in your body. That’s why the Thrive team is inviting you to a special Yoga & Learn: Heal Your Gut session on Monday, November 17th, dedicated to restoring your gut and reclaiming your health from the inside out. Why Gut Health Matters A healthy gut is foundational to overall well-being. It supports nutrient absorption, hormone balance, detoxification, and immune function. When the microbiome becomes imbalanced, it can trigger inflammation, fatigue, brain fog, and chronic disease. During this class, we’ll explore: How the...

“Eat the rainbow.” You’ve probably heard this phrase before—but what does it really mean for your health? In this week’s Motivation, Dr. Fletcher reminds us that vibrant, colorful vegetables are one of the most powerful tools we have for lasting health and vitality. Each color represents a different group of phytonutrients, natural compounds that protect your cells, reduce inflammation, and support energy, immunity, and overall wellness. The Benefits of Eating More Veggies Adding a variety of vegetables to your meals can: Boost your immune system and support gut health Help balance hormones and blood sugar Increase energy levels and mental clarity Support healthy aging and reduce inflammation From deep greens packed with chlorophyll to the antioxidant power of reds and purples, every color on your plate tells a story of...
