How do you support wellness?

Dr. Peraino supports wellness through several methods. She’ll help you:

Enhance nutrition

What you eat can make you feel run-down and bloated. Your digestive health reacts to the diet you eat, as do other systems in the body, including your metabolic and cardiovascular systems. Immunity is also related to nutrition. With optimal nutrition, you can better fight off viruses and bacteria, as well as chronic pain and inflammation. 

Optimize sleep habits

Aim to get between seven and nine hours of sleep each night. Establish consistent bedtimes and wake times. Make your room dark, put down the electronics, and adopt sleep habits — like bathing or reading before bed — to help you improve your sleep.

Incorporate a regular exercise routine

Regular physical activity helps you stay at a healthy weight. It also helps you maintain mobility and prevent inflammation. Though it seems like exercise tires you out, it actually makes you feel more awake and energized. 

Reduce stress

Stress is a natural part of life. How you handle it matters. Dr. Peraino helps you cope with stress healthily,  so it has minimal effect on your health.
