Mediterranean bolognese with lamb, harissa, mushrooms, and goat cheese served over pasta

Bolognese with Harissa Sauce

In The Kitchen, Uncategorized

Mediterranean cooking continues to evolve, drawing inspiration from regions like North Africa, where bold spices and layered sauces are part of everyday cooking. This bolognese takes the comfort of a classic meat sauce and gives it a deeper, spicier edge with harissa, a North African chile paste made from roasted peppers, garlic, and warming spices.Harissa adds instant complexity to sauces, skillet meals, and roasted proteins. Here, it transforms a traditional bolognese into something richer, brighter, and a little more unexpected. Serve it over pasta for a hearty dinner, or spoon it over spaghetti squash for a lighter option. Ingredients 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 cup chopped shallots 3 garlic cloves, chopped 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1 cup chopped shiitake mushrooms 1 pound ground lamb 1/2...

Understanding Hormones & Menopause

Monday Motivation, Motivation, Uncategorized

In this week's Motivation, Dr. Fletcher discusses hormones and menopause, and why this conversation is about much more than estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone alone. Hormonal health is complex and interconnected. In addition to sex hormones, we also examine key players such as cortisol, insulin, and thyroid hormones, all of which influence energy, mood, weight, sleep, inflammation, and overall well-being. When one system is out of balance, others are often affected as well. Understanding this bigger picture is essential to navigating menopause with clarity and confidence. A Closer Look at Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) To continue this important conversation, we invite you to: Yoga & Learn: Menopause and HRT – Part 1 This session will explore hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in an open, evidence-based, and supportive setting. We’ll cover: What HRT is...

The New Food Pyramid & the Mediterranean Diet: A Return to Real Food

Blog, Dr NP, Health, Healthy Eating, Healthy Life, Lifestyle, Lifestyle Medicine, Uncategorized

By Nancy A. Palermo, MD The newly released 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines represent one of the most meaningful shifts in federal nutrition policy we’ve seen in decades. For the first time in a long while, national guidance is beginning to align with what science and common sense have been telling us all along: real, whole foods support health, while highly processed foods drive disease. From a Functional Medicine perspective, this change is long overdue. The updated guidelines are illustrated using an upside-down food pyramid, emphasizing whole, nutrient-dense foods at the foundation, particularly protein, healthy fats, and lower-glycemic carbohydrates. While the recommendations are not perfect, they signal an important shift toward prevention, metabolic health, and longevity. At its core, this new pyramid closely mirrors the principles of the Mediterranean diet, one...

By: Dr. Fletcher Menopause is finally getting the attention it deserves, and that’s a very good thing. After more than 25 years as a board-certified OB/GYN, I’ve watched the conversation around hormone replacement therapy swing dramatically: from overuse to fear-driven avoidance and now toward a more nuanced, evidence-informed understanding. This moment presents an important opportunity, not just to talk about estrogen, but to reframe menopause as what it truly is: a complex, whole-body physiologic transition. For women navigating perimenopause and menopause, narrow treatment approaches often lead to frustration, incomplete relief, and a sense that something is being missed. That’s because menopause is never just about one hormone. Menopause Is a Neuro-Endocrine-Metabolic Transition Most people associate menopause with declining estrogen and symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and irregular cycles. But menopause...

Blog, Dr NP, Functional and Integrative Medicine, Health Hints, Healthy Life, Lifestyle, Lifestyle Medicine, Nancy's articles, Uncategorized

By Nancy A. Palermo, MD Why Now is the Best Time for Functional Medicine Recent studies show a growing dissatisfaction with the conventional healthcare experience. In fact, trust in physicians has dropped from 71% to just 40% as of early 2024. Many patients are seeking a different kind of care, one that prioritizes empathy, collaboration, and prevention over prescriptions and procedures. This shift has led to rising interest in Functional Medicine, an approach that examines the root causes of illness and emphasizes long-term wellness rather than just symptom management.
