Friday Focus: The Quiet Power of Gratitude 🌾

Here in Tennessee, we know the value of slowing down — front porch moments, heartfelt conversations, and giving thanks in all things.

Gratitude isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s just a whisper in your spirit saying,
"This moment is still a gift."

As we head into the weekend, take time to pause and reflect:
šŸŒ„ What simple joys have shown up this week?
šŸ“ Try writing down 3 things you're grateful for each night — even the hard-won ones.

Gratitude doesn’t ignore pain. It holds space for both the struggle and the blessing.

As Scripture reminds us, ā€œGive thanks in all circumstancesā€¦ā€ (1 Thess. 5:18) — not as a clichĆ©, but as a deep, healing rhythm of life.

Wishing you peace, presence, and perspective this weekend.

šŸ„ When It Comes to Integrative Medicine, Let’s Talk About What Works — and What Doesn’t

Here in Middle TN, we’re lucky to have access to a wide range of health and wellness options. But as integrative and functional medicine continue to gain popularity, we believe it’s important to keep the conversation grounded, honest, and science-informed.

At Nashville Osteopathic and Integrative Medicine, we specialize in blending conventional medical wisdom with thoughtful, personalized care — and we’re not afraid to talk about the pitfalls we see in our field.

šŸ‘‰ Here are 3 common issues we think patients deserve to be aware of:

1ļøāƒ£ Excessive testing that isn’t always helpful
Functional labs can be useful, but not all tests are validated or necessary. We use testing with purpose — not just because it’s available.

2ļøāƒ£ Replacing conventional care when it’s actually needed
Holistic care is powerful — but sometimes medications, imaging, or urgent medical intervention save lives. It’s not either/or. It’s both/and.

3ļøāƒ£ Care from practitioners without medical training
Some people offering ā€œfunctionalā€ care have limited clinical background. Without medical training, it’s easy to miss serious issues or offer unsafe advice. Your care should be rooted in both compassion and clinical skill.

šŸ’” The truth? Integrative medicine is most effective when it's collaborative, not alternative.

āœ… We use lifestyle, nutrition, mind-body approaches, and evidence-informed functional tools to support your healing — while working in partnership with conventional medical care when necessary.

Whether you’re managing chronic symptoms, looking for preventive care, or seeking a more whole-person approach to your health — we’re here to support you with integrity and expertise.

šŸ“ Serving the Nashville community and surrounding areas with integrative care that respects your time, your story, and your health journey.

šŸ’« Friday Focus: The Power of Positivity šŸ’«

Here in the heart of Tennessee, we know that a little kindness and a hopeful spirit go a long way.

But did you know that science backs this up, too? A positive mindset is more than just feel-good talk—it’s medicine for your whole being. šŸ§ šŸ’–

āœ”ļø Supports immune and heart health
āœ”ļø Lowers inflammation and stress
āœ”ļø Builds emotional resilience
āœ”ļø Anchors us during life’s storms

And as Scripture reminds us:
ā€œBe transformed by the renewing of your mind.ā€ (Romans 12:2)

At Nashville Osteopathic and Integrative Medicine, we believe healing starts from the inside out. This weekend, give yourself permission to speak life, choose gratitude, and focus on what is good and true.

✨ Your thoughts shape your health—and your future.

šŸ“¢ Low-Carb Diets Are Being Blamed for Poor Metabolic Health in Healthy Adults... But Is That Really True?

A recent study made waves claiming that low-carbohydrate diets can negatively impact glucose metabolism and inflammation—even in people with normal BMI. Sounds concerning, right?

🧐 But here’s the issue:

The study followed 120 people for just 7 days

Participants used self-reported food diaries

Only total carbs were measured—not what kind of carbs, the quality of fats, proteins, fiber, or nutrient intake

No data on meal timing, lifestyle, stress, or environmental factors

And all participants were from one location—Kuwait

At Nashville Osteopathic and Integrative Medicine, we know that BMI doesn’t equal metabolic health, and macronutrient percentages don’t tell the whole story.

šŸ’” As integrative physicians, we ask deeper questions:
āœ… Are you eating nutrient-dense, colorful whole foods?
āœ… How is your sleep, movement, and stress?
āœ… Are your meals personalized to your unique metabolism and health history?

āš ļø Nutrition headlines often oversimplify a complex picture.
This study may be worth noting, but it’s far from conclusive—and should NOT be used to generalize that low-carb = unhealthy.

šŸ‘‰ We encourage a thoughtful, individualized approach to metabolic health—one rooted in whole-person care and evidence-based practice.

šŸ“ž Curious whether a reduced-carb approach might work for you? Let’s talk.

Is chronic inflammation impacting women’s reproductive health here in Middle Tennessee?

It just might be. From irregular cycles to PCOS and endometriosis, we’re seeing more women affected by inflammation-driven reproductive conditions—and nutrition is a powerful part of the solution.

At Nashville Osteopathic and Integrative Medicine, we take a root-cause approach to care, integrating:
āœ”ļø Anti-inflammatory nutrition
āœ”ļø Personalized lifestyle support
āœ”ļø Hormonal balance
āœ”ļø Mind-body practices

The Mediterranean-style, anti-inflammatory diet—rich in omega-3s, colorful veggies, and healthy fats—has been shown to reduce risks of:
āž”ļø Preterm birth
āž”ļø Low birth weight
āž”ļø Fertility challenges in PCOS and endometriosis

Whether you're prepping for pregnancy or seeking hormone balance in your 30s, 40s, or beyond, this isn’t just about food—it’s about your future health.

šŸ“ We’re proud to serve women across Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, and beyond with compassionate, evidence-based care.

Friday Focus: The Strength in Surrender

In the rhythm of Nashville life — where the pace is fast, the expectations high, and the pressure to keep it all together is real — sometimes the bravest thing we can do is stop striving… and surrender.

At Nashville Osteopathic and Integrative Medicine, we often talk about the body’s innate wisdom. But true healing also means recognizing when to lean into grace instead of grit.

Surrender isn’t weakness. It’s strength. It’s trust. It’s opening your heart to what’s beyond your control — and allowing peace to enter.

Whether you’re navigating a health diagnosis, emotional exhaustion, or simply the weight of uncertainty, we invite you to pause and release.

Surrender is not giving up — it’s giving over.

✨ May you find strength in stillness this weekend.

šŸ”¬ The Science of Fasting & Mitochondrial Health – A New Frontier in Integrative Care

At Nashville Osteopathic and Integrative Medicine, we’re committed to blending traditional wisdom with modern science to help you feel your best—from the inside out.

Did you know that fasting, when done appropriately, may support mitochondrial health—the very foundation of your energy and cellular vitality?

✨ Here’s what happens when the body shifts into a fasted state:
āœ”ļø Energy source switches from glucose to fat
āœ”ļø Mitochondria become more efficient and resilient
āœ”ļø Antioxidant defense improves
āœ”ļø Potential benefits to brain, heart, and metabolic health

For some Middle Tennessee patients, carefully guided fasting (like time-restricted eating or intermittent fasting) may be part of a personalized plan to address fatigue, inflammation, or metabolic conditions like type 2 diabetes or obesity.

šŸ‘©ā€āš•ļø At our clinic, we personalize every nutrition and fasting plan based on your individual health goals and needs.

šŸ“Located in the heart of Nashville, we're here to support your wellness journey with science-based, whole-person care.
