Tips from Dr. Tracy Larson  When life gets busy, meals aren’t always an option, but that doesn’t mean your nutrition has to suffer.

Let’s face it: stress is everywhere. From juggling work and family responsibilities to managing our health and navigating world events, chronic stress has become a silent burden for many of us. But just because it's common doesn't mean it’s harmless. In this week’s Motivation, Dr. Larson discusses the real impact stress has on our health and what we can do about it. Stress Isn’t Just in Your Head When we experience stress, our bodies respond by releasing hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. This “fight or flight” response is designed to protect us in short bursts, but those hormones wear down our systems when stress becomes constant. Unchecked stress can affect: Sleep quality Digestion and gut health Blood pressure and heart health Immune function Mental clarity and emotional balance Over time, this can lead...

Plus, Dr. Palermo’s challenge to add more purple to your plate! Did you know that most Americans stick to the same 12 fruits and vegetables over and over again? And on average, we only eat about 1.6 servings of vegetables per day—a far cry from the 5 to 8 servings we recommend at Thrive. This limited variety means we’re missing out on the wide range of nutrients that different colorful plant foods offer. Each color represents unique phytonutrients, potent compounds that support everything from brain and heart health to glowing skin and balanced digestion. Why Eating More Colors Is Good for Your Health Here’s a quick breakdown of what different colors provide: Red (like tomatoes and strawberries): Heart and skin support Orange & Yellow (like sweet potatoes and mangoes):...

Your gut microbiome plays a vital role in digestion, immunity, and overall well-being. In this Motivation with Harlee Palmer, PA, we explore why fiber is a key player in gut health and how you can easily incorporate more of it into your diet. Why Is the Gut Microbiome Important?

When these bacteria are balanced, they help your body: Break down food and absorb nutrients Strengthen your immune system Reduce inflammation Support a healthy metabolism However, an imbalance in gut bacteria—often caused by processed foods, stress, and low fiber intake—can lead to digestive issues, weakened immunity, and chronic health problems.

In today’s fast-paced world, ultra-processed foods have become a staple in many diets. From packaged snacks and frozen meals to sugary cereals and sodas, these convenient options often come at a cost to our health.
