Spring brings renewal, and what better way to revitalize than by spring cleaning your diet? Dr. Dan DeFeo of the Osteopathic Family Medicine Practice of Northern New Jersey returns to share wisdom about seasonal eating that transforms not just your meals, but your health.

Many Americans struggle with vegetables, but Dr. DeFeo suggests this aversion might stem from eating out-of-season produce lacking peak flavor and nutrition. Spring vegetables like asparagus, artichokes, radishes, strawberries, and peas offer exceptional benefits - they're rich in prebiotic nutrients, high in fiber, and low in calories. These seasonal gems support gut health by reducing inflammation and improving digestion naturally.

The conversation delves into misunderstood digestive complaints, revealing how symptoms often attributed to conditions like celiac disease frequently stem from poor dietary choices instead. Dr. DeFeo expertly explains how consuming simple carbohydrates creates those familiar energy crashes and how these cycles can eventually lead to insulin resistance. His practice addresses these concerns through an integrative approach, combining medical expertise with nutritional counseling accessible through insurance when possible.

What makes Dr. DeFeo's perspective particularly compelling is his commitment to osteopathic medicine's founding philosophy - treating root causes rather than just medicating symptoms. This approach feels especially relevant today as many post-pandemic Americans seek alternatives to pharmaceutical-dependent healthcare.
