Vagus Nerve Regulation

  [caption id="attachment_11875" align="alignleft" width="226"] Dr. Scott Greenapple[/caption] A relatively recent treatment seems to be sweeping across the healthcare industry. Although we have known for many years what the Vagus nerve is responsible for, it is relatively newer information on how many systems are affected by stimulating or increasing what is known as Vagal tone. You would be hard-pressed these days to go to a health conference, read a health magazine, attend a biohacking conference, or visit any social media health website and not find an article or two on the Vagus nerve. Is it possible that this one long nerve in the body can help reduce stress, anxiety, and panic attacks, improve sleep/insomnia, maintain a healthy heart, dampen inflammation, maintain a healthy gut and digestion, increase heart rate...

Motivation: Routine Testing

In this week's Motivation, Dr. Palermo discusses the importance of testing and optimizing your health. Annual blood testing is the most important step patients can take to prevent life-threatening diseases; however, most patients do not get the in-depth testing that can give them the tools to optimize their health. A conventional visit typically includes a blood count, a CMP, a lipid profile, and, if you are lucky, a TSH. Functional testing will help catch critical changes in a patient’s functional state before they manifest as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or worse. Having the proper blood tests and knowing how to do a thorough functionally oriented analysis of the results can empower patients to enact science-based disease-prevention programs that could add decades of healthy function to their lives.

Whole Health Spring Cleaning

As the flowers bloom and the weather turns warmer, we come out of the winter hibernation and tackle spring cleaning. Nearly 8 out of 10 Americans practice spring cleaning regularly. While clearing up the clutter and the pollen is important this is a great time to clear up some of the unhealthy practices, we allowed in during the winter months. We must tackle these “chores” mindfully to embrace true self-care. Do not think of them as obligatory but rather empowering and liberating. Reducing clutter and unhealthy habits can be beneficial for our mental health and our physical health. Let’s try to embrace this mindset while we tackle the physical jobs. Spring cleaning, like many resets, can be referred to as a “temporal landmark”. These are the times in our...

Wasabi-Marinated Steaks

The wasabi marinade will bring out the grass-fed beef's flavor and make it more tender. Try to marinate for at least 4 hours and up to 8 hours. The anti-inflammatory additions to this marinade can help to reduce any negative effect of cooking or grilling, but still make an effort to avoid burning or causing char. Ingredients: ¼ c. rice wine vinegar 2 T. soy sauce 2-4 cloves garlic, minced 1 ½ t. freshly grated ginger 1 T. powdered wasabi powder 3 lbs. strip steak or filet, grass-fed organic Directions: In a bowl, combine all ingredients until dissolved.

Are You Metabolically Healthy?

When Americans are asked if they are metabolically healthy, 75% of them will answer yes; however, a recent study (2022) done at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Gillings School of Global Public Health showed that the metabolic health of Americans is “alarmingly low”. In fact, in the study of over 8700 individuals, the researchers found that only 12% of Americans were metabolically healthy. That means over 1 in 8 or 88% have some degree of cardiometabolic dysfunction. Cardiometabolic dysfunction is based on elevations of blood sugar and insulin, triglycerides, lipids, or blood pressure. The study researchers claimed several reasons for the findings, but one of the most remarkable was that less than 37% were aware of their personal findings despite having regular care. Many patients...
