✔ Personalized whole-food nutrition plan​​​​​​​​
✔ Lab review and ongoing adjustments​​​​​​​​
✔ Medication support (only if clinically appropriate)​​​​​​​​

The holidays can be… a lot.

But a little grounding, a little nourishment, and a whole lot of joy can go a long way. (And yes, joy counts as wellness — even if it comes in the form of fuzzy socks and saying “no” to the 4th holiday gathering of the week.)

Did you know 2 in 5 Americans are expected to develop type 2 diabetes in their lifetime?
The good news: it’s largely preventable and may be reversible.

What is type 2 diabetes?
It occurs when the body can’t use insulin properly or isn’t making enough of it, causing blood sugar to rise over time.

Common signs of elevated blood sugar:
• Increased thirst
• Increased hunger
• Frequent urination
• Fatigue
• Frequent infections

Prediabetes vs. Diabetes
Prediabetes means blood sugar is higher than normal, but not yet in the diabetes range. During this stage, the body works overtime making more insulin—eventually leading to insulin resistance.

At Spruce MD, we work hard to prevent diabetes through expanded testing, nutrition counseling, and provider-patient teamwork. Get scheduled to start working with our team. You gotta know your numbers!

Spices have traveled a long way to land in our kitchens. Once prized by ancient cultures for ceremony, luxury, and trade, they’re now recognized for something even more powerful — their medicinal properties.

Rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants, spices help regulate blood sugar, calm inflammation, fight microbes, support immunity, ease digestion, and even balance stress. While fruits and veggies also contain phytonutrients, spices offer unique compounds you can easily add to everyday meals.

Herbs vs. spices:
Herbs come from leaves; spices come from the dried root, bark, seed, or flower. For the best potency, grind spices yourself when possible, or store pre-ground spices in glass or tin.

Using a single spice boosts flavor and nutrition — but blends offer even more antioxidant power. Think warming Indian masalas, spicy Latin and Caribbean mixes, bright Mediterranean herbs, or fragrant Italian blends.

Seasonal blends are an easy way to weave more nutrition into your weekly meals. Start with a base recipe and adjust spices to fit your taste. Try this fall-inspired blend to bring warmth, flavor, and health to this holiday season.

Did you know your digestion starts before you even take a bite?

Taking 2–3 slow, intentional breaths before a meal helps shift your body into the parasympathetic “rest and digest” state - the mode where your gut can actually do its job.

When you eat while stressed, rushed, or distracted, your body prioritizes survival over digestion. This can lead to bloating, sluggish digestion, and reduced nutrient absorption.

A simple pause can make a meaningful difference.
Breathe… slow down… and give your body the chance to receive your food well.

Small habits. Big impact. 🤍
