🎄 Functional Medicine Friday: Holiday Edition 🎄

The holidays are a time for joy, family, and celebration — but they can also be tough on your body if you’re not intentional.

Between festive meals, travel stress, late nights, and extra sugar, many people experience:
• Low energy
• Increased inflammation
• Digestive issues
• Poor sleep
• Hormonal disruption

🎁 Functional medicine looks beyond symptoms and focuses on supporting your body’s foundations — nutrition, sleep, stress, hormones, and metabolic health — so you can actually enjoy the season instead of just surviving it.

🎄 Holiday health tips from a functional medicine perspective:
✔ Prioritize protein with every meal
✔ Stay hydrated (electrolytes matter!)
✔ Get sunlight and movement daily
✔ Protect sleep — even during busy weeks
✔ Support your nervous system with intentional recovery

Your body is the greatest gift you have — take care of it this season so you can Live Life Strong into the New Year.

💪 Strength Training Isn’t Just for Bodybuilders

For years, I’ve been recommending strength training alongside cardio — and now the research is finally catching up.

A large systematic review and meta-analysis published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that people who performed resistance training had:
✔️ 15% lower risk of all-cause mortality
✔️ 19% lower risk of cardiovascular disease death
✔️ 14% lower risk of cancer mortality

That’s a big deal — and it challenges the old, cardio-only mindset that’s dominated fitness advice for decades.

Why does strength training matter so much?
Muscle is metabolically active tissue. It helps:
• Regulate blood sugar
• Support healthy hormone production
• Maintain bone density
• Prevent age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia), which is strongly linked to frailty and early mortality

From an ancestral health perspective, our bodies evolved to lift, carry, push, and pull — not sit or jog endlessly on a treadmill.

In clinical practice, I’ve seen strength training be especially transformative for:
• Older adults
• Individuals with low muscle mass
• Patients struggling with insulin resistance or metabolic dysfunction

👉 The best part? You don’t need a gym.
Bodyweight exercises, resistance bands, or even household items can be incredibly effective.

Aim for 2–3 sessions per week, focus on major muscle groups, and prioritize proper form over heavy weights.

If you’ve been skipping strength training because you thought cardio was “enough” — it’s time to rethink that strategy.

🎉 Congratulations to our December Patient of the Month – Matt H.! 🎉

Matt has been putting in the work, and it shows! His commitment to his care plan — both in the office and at home — has led to noticeable improvements in how he moves and feels. 💪

What sets Matt apart is his consistency and dedication. He shows up, follows through, and takes ownership of his health, which is exactly how real, lasting results happen. That kind of effort makes a huge difference in recovery and long-term spinal health.

We’re proud of the progress Matt has made and excited to see him continue building strength and momentum. Great job, Matt — keep it going! 👏

🌿 Functional Medicine Friday
Feeling chronically stressed, foggy, or wired-but-tired?
Ashwagandha may help reset your stress response — and the research keeps getting better.

A 2025 systematic review + meta-analysis in Nutrition and Health analyzed 7 randomized controlled trials with 488 adults (PMID: 40746175).
👉 Result: Ashwagandha significantly lowered cortisol compared to placebo.

This supports earlier findings from a 2019 randomized trial in Cureus (PMID: 32021735) where 60 stressed adults took ashwagandha for 8 weeks and saw:
✨ 16–33% cortisol reduction
✨ Better sleep quality
✨ Lower perceived stress and anxiety

Why this matters:
Chronic stress isn’t “in your head” — it’s a physiological overload that impacts hormones, immunity, digestion, and brain clarity.
Supporting the stress response naturally can help restore energy, mood, focus, and resilience.

If you’re feeling stressed, burned out, or not sleeping well, Functional Medicine can help uncover the underlying causes — and create a personalized plan to support your nervous system.

BackgroundThe global medicine market is projected to reach US$417 billion by 2033, reflecting rising demand for natural healthcare alternatives. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine for stress management, but evidence supporting its efficacy remains inconsiste...

🧠 Functional Medicine Friday: Can Keto Help Protect Your Brain? 🥑

A new study from University of Missouri-Columbia suggests that a ketogenic (high-fat, low-carb) diet may support long-term brain health — especially in individuals with a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer’s.

Researchers found that female mice with the APOE4 gene — a known Alzheimer’s risk factor — showed healthier gut bacteria and improved brain energy metabolism when placed on a ketogenic diet compared to a high-carb diet.

✨ Why this matters:
• Your gut health directly impacts your brain health
• Diet is NOT one-size-fits-all — genetics and gender matter
• Personalized nutrition may help reduce long-term cognitive risk

This study reinforces a core principle of functional medicine:
👉 Food is information for your brain and body — and the right nutritional strategy can influence how you age.

If you’re curious how your genetics, gut health, or lifestyle may be impacting your brain function, STRONGLIFE offers guidance through a personalized, root-cause approach.

Mizzou scientists are exploring how a ketogenic diet may protect the brain and prevent Alzheimer’s in people genetically predisposed to it. Their study found that female mice with the APOE4 gene benefited most, showing improved gut and brain health on a high-fat, low-carb diet. The findings highli...
