The days between Christmas and New Year’s don’t have to be loud or productive to be meaningful. 🤍
Sometimes, healing looks like slowing down.
One song that grounds you.
One nap your body’s been asking for.
One genuine smile for yourself.
At Kanodia MD, we believe this quiet space matters. Small kindnesses to your nervous system, fewer demands on your energy, and permission to rest can be powerful medicine, especially if you’re navigating chronic illness, fatigue, pain, or stress.
As we gently close out this year, may you choose what brings you a little more peace — and carry that intention with you into the next.

On Christmas Eve, we’re reminded that the most meaningful gift isn’t wrapped under the tree. 🎄
It’s waking up with more energy. Fewer symptoms. And hope for healing.
Your health is the gift that keeps giving — to yourself and to everyone you love.
Wishing you a peaceful, healthy and gentle Christmas Eve.

For so many people, the holidays don’t feel merry, they feel exhausting.
If you’re navigating autoimmune symptoms, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, gut issues, or chronic fatigue, even the most joyful season can feel overwhelming.
Here are a few different ways to support your body and nervous system right now — beyond the usual advice:
Lower the bar (on purpose). Healing hormones thrive on safety, not pressure. Fewer plans = more energy!
Anchor your mornings. Light exposure, protein before caffeine, and a 5‑minute grounding ritual can change your entire day.
Eat for calm, not perfection. Warm, simple meals that your gut tolerates > “holiday rules.”
Create micro‑rest. 10 minutes of lying flat, legs up the wall, or slow breathing can reset pain and stress signals.
Protect your nervous system. Say no sooner. Leave earlier. Sit instead of standing. These are not failures — they’re tools.
Remember: symptoms are signals, not flaws. Your body isn’t broken, it’s communicating.
At Kanodia MD, we look deeper to understand why your body feels the way it does so you can move toward real healing, not just coping.
If this season feels heavy, you’re not alone and there is another way forward.
Merry Christmas Eve 🎄
We’re holding space for you.

Holiday parties can look very different when you’re living with low energy, chronic pain, illness, or anxiety. 🎄
While others may be celebrating nonstop, many are quietly navigating symptoms that make even small gatherings feel overwhelming and that can be incredibly isolating, especially this time of year.
At Kanodia MD, we understand that these struggles are real, even when they’re invisible. Functional Medicine is about looking deeper, asking better questions, and restoring the body’s capacity to heal so you’re not just getting through the holidays, but moving toward feeling like yourself again.
The holidays are meant to be enjoyed, including the food.
But for many people dealing with bloating, IBS, food sensitivities, or chronic gut symptoms, traditional holiday meals can feel overwhelming.
That’s why we love sharing low‑FODMAP and gluten‑free holiday options from cookies to side dishes so you can still participate without paying for it later.
Functional Medicine isn’t about restriction.
It’s about understanding your body, reducing inflammation, and choosing foods that support digestion, energy, and overall well‑being.
Yes, you can enjoy the season and feel good doing it. 🤍
Yum and gentle on the gut.

It’s the week of Christmas and we’re thinking of you. We know this season can be joyful and busy and sometimes a little draining so we wanted to send a warm reminder to take care of yourself.
If you need to restock supplements or order lab kits, now’s a great time: we’re offering 10% off supplements and lab kits through the end of the year.
How to order:
- Send us a quick message through your patient portal, or
- Give our office a call and we’ll place the order for you.
You don’t have to keep up with everyone else this season.
Healing doesn’t follow a holiday schedule.
When you’re navigating your symptoms, energy looks different. Joy looks different. And that’s okay. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is find one small thing that lifts you a quiet moment, a deep breath, a kind thought toward yourself.
At Kanodia MD, we see you. We understand that staying merry doesn’t always mean doing more, sometimes it means listening to your body and honoring where you are today.
This season, give yourself permission to move at your own pace.
Your health matters.

While many are out shopping, celebrating, and filling their calendars with holiday festivities… we know that not everyone is in the same place.
When you’re living with an invisible illness, the season can feel isolating. Low energy, brain fog, pain, inflammation, or feeling “off” can limit what you’re able to do even when everything on paper looks normal.
If this resonates with you, please know: you’re not alone, and there are answers.
At Kanodia MD, we focus on restoring your body’s natural capacity to heal by looking deeper beyond standard labs to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.
If you’ve been feeling exhausted, out of balance, or like something just isn’t right, we invite you to take a moment for yourself and learn more.

Your Christmas gratitude list isn’t just a feel‑good tradition, it’s powerful medicine for your brain 🧠
Taking time to write down what you’re grateful for helps shift your nervous system out of stress and into safety. Gratitude has been shown to support healthier brain pathways, improve mood, reduce inflammation, and calm the stress response all of which are essential for healing.
Your gratitude practice can be simple:
• Writing a short gratitude list each morning or night
• Placing affirmations on a sticky note by your toothbrush or mirror
• Keeping a few thankful thoughts in your car for busy days
• Pausing to name small wins, even on hard days
Those small moments of gratitude add up. They help retrain the brain to look for safety, positivity, and resilience, and over time, that can truly transform how you feel.
This season, give yourself the gift of gratitude. Your brain and body will thank you. 📝🎄

Hi, my name is Anup Kanodia, MD, MPH. As a classically trained physician, it did not take me long to realize that my initial medical school training was not enough for me to fundamentally help people achieve true, long lasting health. Early in my Mayo Clinic residency, I began to notice that the symptom/drug approach worked for acute problems, such as severe bacterial infections and heart attacks, but this model was fundamentally flawed for chronic health conditions. It did not and does not work. The reason this model is inadequate is because it is entrenched in dispensing pharmaceuticals that often have severe side effects and not in how to search for the “root” cause and treat the person, not just their symptom.
This realization turned my world upside down and forced me to ask myself these two questions, “Is this what it means to be a doctor?” and “Do I just want to write prescriptions all day long to camouflage symptoms?” For me, the answer was an absolute “No.” And so began my journey and another three years of medical training at Harvard with Mark Hyman that introduced me to the world of Alternative and Functional training. It was during this time that I found the answers that were missing. I learned how to help people get to the root cause of a myriad of different illnesses such as chronic fatigue, allergies, recurrent infections, depression and irritable bowel. I learned how stress could destroy a person’s health and that yeast overgrowth is the silent demon robbing thousands of people of their health. For the undiagnosed that had tried everything, I learned that there were solutions. It was in this body of work that my patients began to get well, stay well and live well. My original passion in medicine took on a whole new meaning and my mission was now clear: dig for the root cause, identify it and eliminate it. This process is the key to help people transform their health and empower them to live the joyful life they were meant to live.
We would be honored to work with you and your health goals.
Respectfully,
Anup Kanodia, MD, MPH (Masters in Public Health), IFMCP (Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner)
