NEW YORK - s4story -- NEW YORK, NY — For many people in New York metro area, the arrival of spring brings a sense of renewed energy—but not always immediately, and not always completely. After months of diminished sunlight, disrupted eating patterns, reduced physical activity, and the cumulative stress of winter, the brain and gut often need deliberate clinical support to fully reset.

"Winter is hard on the microbiome," says Helaine Polanco, MS, functional nutritionist at Evolution Medicine PC. "Seasonal shifts in diet—more processed foods, less fiber, altered sleep cycles, higher alcohol consumption during the holidays—directly affect gut flora, and gut flora directly affects mood, inflammation, and cognitive clarity. Spring is an ideal time to recalibrate."

The gut-brain axis—the bidirectional communication network between the gastrointestinal system and the central nervous system—has emerged as one of the most significant frontiers in psychiatric research. Approximately ninety percent of the body's serotonin is produced in the gut. Disruptions to the microbiome have been linked to depression, anxiety, brain fog, fatigue, and impaired immune function.

At Evolution Medicine PC, the spring reset begins with a comprehensive assessment: dietary history, gut function evaluation, micronutrient panel, inflammatory markers, and hormonal status. From this foundation, a personalized nutritional protocol is developed—addressing deficiencies, reducing inflammatory dietary patterns, introducing targeted supplementation, and supporting gut healing through evidence-based food-as-medicine strategies.

"What surprises patients most is how much their diet has been affecting how they think and feel," says Dr. Sonya Lazarevic, founder of Evolution Medicine PC. "When we address gut inflammation and nutritional depletion alongside psychiatric medication, the response is often dramatically better than medication alone."

March is National Nutrition Month, and Evolution Medicine PC invites patients, referring physicians, and health-conscious New Yorkers and Connecticut residents to consider whether the gut-brain connection may be contributing to persistent mood symptoms, fatigue, or cognitive difficulties.

Nutritional psychiatry consultations are available at Evolution Medicine PC's Midtown Manhattan office and via telepsychiatry. Initial consultations with Ms. Polanco may be scheduled independently or as part of a coordinated team evaluation.
