Staying Healthy in the Face of COVID-19
Amid all the buzz about COVID-19, it’s difficult to separate fact from fiction. Tune into a live webinar panel discussion on Friday with PALM Health physicians, who will address the current state of COVID-19, discuss what we know about the virus from a medical perspective, give recommendations for preventing its spread, and answer live questions from the audience as they come in through social media.
What We Know Now About COVID-19
There’s a lot of information circulating about COVID-19 right now. What do we know for certain? In this live Zoom webinar, our PALM Health physicians will address current statistics on the coronavirus, the spectrum of symptoms, medications and supplements for prevention and treatment, the status of a possible vaccination, and concerns about exposure as children head back to school.
Train, Eat, and Recover for Optimal Performance
Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a competitive athlete, or just beginning a new fitness journey, having a detailed approach to your training goals is key for success. This webinar with chiropractor Dr. Jason Biondo will dive into the key elements of training, nutrition, and recovery to optimize performance and health.
Mammography Screening
All PALM members ages 40 and older and their guests are invited to schedule a mammography screening with the Siteman Cancer Center Mammography Van, which will be parked in the PALM Health parking lot on October 5. The Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine offers mammograms at no cost to those who qualify. Funding is provided by Susan G. Komen® Missouri. The Mammography Van follows all CDC safety precautions regarding COVID-19 to ensure members stay safe.
The Functional Medicine Approach to Prevention
What is it about functional medicine that makes it different from conventional healthcare? At PALM Health, our functional medicine approach incorporates the Five P’s: it is personalized, patient-centered, proactive, predictive, and participatory. In this webinar, Dr. Scott Jamison will focus on the proactive part of our functional medicine approach to address how our medical providers help their patients prevent chronic diseases and lifestyle-related illnesses.
ELDOA Class Event
Join us in the Oak Room for a pop-up ELDOA class with Eric Lentz, certified personal trainer and Soma Therapist. The ELDOA method creates space and balance in the body by using myofascial stretches and specific osteopathic techniques to improve posture, relieve pain, and prevent injury. This pop-up class event will include a raffle, special surprise giveaways, participant gifts, energizing music, and an atmosphere of community and fun.
Sweet Heart: The Link Between Sugar and Heart Disease
If you’re thinking about buying your sweetheart a box of chocolates, you might want to think again. Refined sugars found in candy, chocolate, and desserts — even hidden in savory foods such as pasta sauce and ketchup — are at the root of chronic conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes. In this webinar, cardiologist and CEO Dr. Lauren Munsch Dal Farra explores the impact sugar has on the heart and why you may want to stick with flowers for your sweetheart.
Resilience for Runners Class Event
As your body ages, it can become harder to do high-level activities such as running. Come join Ashley Kumar, physical therapist and personal trainer, in this runners-specific pop-up class, during which you will learn how to cross-train to prevent injuries that are common among runners. You’ll learn how to become injury-resilient with optimal trunk, pelvis, and hip control. Be sure to come in your workout clothes, because you and Ashley will be working together to put these exercises into action right away!

The Essentials of Exercise

In addition, he will address how exercise benefits disease prevention, health span, and weight management.
