Did you know that 54 million Americans are affected by osteoporosis or low bone density?

💭 What's fascinating is how many everyday factors can influence our bone health without us realizing it:

- That extra cup (or three) of coffee each morning
- Over-the-counter antacids we reach for regularly
- The chronic stress we've normalized
- Well-intentioned restrictive eating patterns
- Long hours of sitting throughout the day

The beautiful thing? Awareness is the first step toward positive change!

Small, mindful adjustments can make a meaningful difference over time.

Which of these resonated with you and what's the first step you can make to change?

Are you ready to take the first step toward stronger bones and better health?
Our BoneStrong program is designed to help you uncover the hidden factors affecting your bone health and give you the tools to build strength from the inside out. Learn more at the link in our bio.

Here's something that might surprise you about your bones 😲

They're not the static structures we imagine. Your bones are actually dynamic, living tissue - constantly rebuilding themselves every single day.

Think of it like renovation happening in your body 24/7:

🦴 Osteoclasts break down old bone tissue
🦴 Osteoblasts build fresh, new bone

When this process is balanced, your bones stay strong and healthy.

Understanding this changes how we can support bone health - it's not just about taking calcium and hoping for the best.

Your bones are more resilient and adaptable than you might think! ✨

What surprised you most about bone health? We'd love to hear! 💬

After guiding my patients through personalized food plans tailored to their unique health needs, I often recommend transitioning to a Mediterranean-style way of eating. Why? Because it’s one of the most effective, evidence-based approaches to support long-term health and vitality.

We’ve developed a balanced, easy-to-follow, and medically-sound program inspired by the eating habits of Mediterranean cultures—home to some of the world’s longest-living, healthiest people.

This isn’t a diet. It’s a sustainable, nourishing lifestyle designed to help you thrive for years to come.

Here are the 5 principles to begin practicing now:

🌱 Reduce refined sugar, high fructose corn syrup and refined grains.

🌱 Improve the quality of fat by removing refined oils and hydrogenated fat. Focus on cold-pressed oils like olive oil and avocado oil for cooking, eat avocado, nuts and seeds. Limit saturated fat (dairy, egg yolks, red meat, coconut) if you have high cholesterol.

🌱 Improve the quality of animal protein by choosing organic grass fed and finished beef, free-range chicken and wild caught or sustainably farmed, low mercury fish. Remember, you are eating what they were fed and treated with.

🌱 Limit salt, food dyes and preservatives, which happen naturally when you limit processed foods.

🌱 Increase fiber, micronutrients, antioxidants and phytonutrients with more vegetables and fruits and choose organic when possible.

As a helpful reminder to stay on track....plan ahead! Do your grocery shopping on the weekends and cook and freeze food and soups so that you aren’t relying on fast food or processed packages for your meals.

Whether you're training for a marathon, pushing through plateau periods, or simply want to maximize every workout, your body needs the right fuel to perform at its peak. 🏃‍♀️🏃

Summer training presents unique challenges – heat and humidity accelerate nutrient depletion through increased sweat loss, leading to faster fatigue and compromised performance.

When we exercise intensely, our muscles work overtime. They consume nutrients rapidly, produce metabolic byproducts like lactic acid, and require enhanced blood flow for optimal oxygen delivery. Traditional supplementation through diet alone often falls short during high-demand periods.

That's where targeted IV nutrition makes the difference. This July, we're spotlighting our carefully formulated

Athletic Performance IV Drip designed to support:

🔹 Enhanced Muscle Function & Recovery

🔹 Improved Circulation & Endurance

🔹 Faster Recovery

🔹 Targeted nutrients that help clear lactic acid buildup

🔹 Support for lean muscle development and maintenance

Toxins do all sorts of damage: they gradually clog the liver, block insulin-receptor sites, damage the genes, and undermine DNA repair and recovery. As noted earlier, they contribute to inflammation, blood-sugar problems, digestive problems, mitochondrial disorders, low energy, immune and a host of other problems.

When toxins build up over time and overload your body, they gradually undermine your health and cause disease.

The good news is … this is not only preventable, it’s reversible.

Ready to reduce your toxin load and feel more vital and energetic? Melissa Rapoport, CFMHC can support you. Call 914.652.7800 to learn about Melissa's individualized Toxin Reset program.

Your gut microbiome -- which includes all the bacteria and yeast that normally live in your digestive tract -- keeps your immune system healthy and your intestinal lining strong.

👉 But if you develop a condition called dysbiosis -- an overgrowth of bad bacteria, yeast, parasites or other microbes like viruses -- you then have an increased risk of damage to your intestinal lining, something called Leaky Gut Syndrome.

This is a problem because when the barrier function is lost, all types of good and bad bacteria, pathogens and undigested food can cross over from the gut and gain access to your body and your immune system, thus triggering a five alarm fire which we feel as inflammation.

🍽This is one way that people develop food sensitivities.

We hope by now you can see why all of us at Blum Center for Health, and in the world of Functional Medicine, believe that The Number One thing you can do right now for your health….is….take care of your gut microbiome!

here! It’s that time … spring returns to the farmers market! Radishes, spinach, lettuce, peas, rhubarb and strawberries, oh my! Bring on the spring produce! While perusing the seasonal produce at the Farmers’ Market it occurred to me:

😀 Farmer’s markets make people happy and create connection.
It’s an easy place to strike up a conversation. "Oh, those are beautiful. Have you ever cooked with them?" If you are looking to connect with like-minded people, meet someone with whom you can be conversant, or perhaps you’re looking for a local meet-up group, give it a try.

🌱 Farmers Markets create activity.
The Farmers Market also provides the perfect setting for a fun evening with family or friends. Meet at the market, collect ingredients for your meal, take your bounty home and cook a meal together.

👨‍👩‍👦 Farmers Markets create community.
Research demonstrates repeatedly that social connection is a key to longevity, improved mental health, and a general sense of happiness. Being around people makes us feel happier, and when we are happier we are more fun to be around, creating an "upward spiral" of happiness."

🪴Farmers Markets are good for the Earth. The benefits of farmers markets are myriad. They allow us to eat seasonally, to buy food that tastes better and is picked at the peak of its flavor. Support local farmers and aid in rural regeneration and give us the opportunity to talk with the person who actually grows our food!

If you haven’t already, it’s time to fall in love with the Farmers Market. Play an active role in the farm-to-table movement. Stay open, smile, speak to people. At the very least you might just walk away with a smile and a great recipe!

Not all meditation has to be done seated in silence. If you're feeling antsy or have been sitting at your desk all day, taking a walk is a fantastic way to meditate while in motion🚶‍♀️

Give it a try and let us know how it goes!

NAD+ is Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide and is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body. It is essential for hundreds of metabolic processes mainly because it is required for your mitochondria to function well.

Your “mighty-chondria” are the little furnaces inside each and every cell that make energy (ATP) and without NAD+, the mitochondria can’t make ATP.

NAD+ levels can decrease up to 50% by ages 40-60. This can explain why you can feel so tired even if you have a great diet and live an overall healthy lifestyle.

👩‍⚕️ Getting NAD+ intravenously is the best way to increase your levels because it bypasses the GI tract so it is 100% bioavailable to be fully absorbed by your cells.

Our patients have seen many benefits of NAD+ Infusion Therapy, including:

• Improved mental clarify
• Better mood because NAD+ naturally increases dopamine and serotonin
• Improved sleep
• Waking up feeling rested with sustained energy all day
• Boosting metabolism
• Improvement in skin problems (i.e. hives or psoriasis)
• Treatment after COVID to prevent long COVID
• Recovery from long COVID
• Recovery from Lyme
