🦴✨ Could Your Eating Schedule Affect Bone Health?

A new study highlighted by Healio Endocrinology shows that when you eat may be just as important as what you eat β€” especially when it comes to bone health.

Researchers found that two habits were linked to a higher risk of major osteoporotic fractures:
🍽️ 1. Skipping breakfast
Regularly skipping your first meal of the day may interfere with metabolism, energy balance, and nutrient intake β€” all of which play a role in maintaining strong bones.

πŸŒ™ 2. Eating late dinners
Late-night meals may disrupt hormonal rhythms and calcium regulation, potentially weakening bone strength over time.

βœ”οΈ What this means for your bone health:
- Eating balanced meals at consistent times supports healthy calcium absorption.
- Morning meals help stabilize hormones, energy levels, and bone metabolism.
- Avoiding late dinners may support healthier sleep and better bone turnover.

πŸ¦΄πŸ’™ Takeaway:
Healthy bones depend on timing, nutrition, and lifestyle habits β€” not just supplements. Simple daily choices can support long-term strength and reduce fracture risk.

If you have osteoporosis or other bone-health concerns, our rheumatology team can help you build a personalized plan. Link to article here: https://www.healio.com/news/endocrinology/20250828/skipping-breakfast-eating-late-dinners-may-raise-risk-for-major-osteoporotic-fractures

When it comes to fighting inflammation, wild blueberries are at the top of the list. πŸ’™

Here’s why they stand out:

✨ Packed with antioxidants
Wild blueberries help neutralize free radicals, calm inflammation, and support long-term health β€” especially beneficial for individuals managing chronic inflammatory conditions.

✨ More nutrient-dense than regular blueberries
With more skin (where antioxidants live) and a higher fiber content, they deliver extra nutritional benefits in every bite.

✨ Easy to add to your daily routine
You can find them in most freezer aisles, ready to:
β€’ blend into smoothies
β€’ stir into yogurt or oatmeal
β€’ bake into pancakes
β€’ freeze into antioxidant-rich β€œice cubes”

Adding wild blueberries to your diet is a simple, delicious way to support overall wellness and help your body fight inflammation naturally. πŸ«πŸ’™

🌧️ What Can Make Arthritis Symptoms Worse?

Arthritis symptoms can change from day to day β€” and certain triggers may make joints feel more stiff, swollen, or painful. Here are some expert-identified factors that may worsen symptoms:

πŸ”Ή Cold or damp weather
Temperature drops and humidity changes can increase joint stiffness and discomfort for many people with arthritis.

πŸ”Ή Stress & poor sleep
Stress hormones and lack of rest can fuel inflammation, making flare-ups more likely.

πŸ”Ή Weight changes
Excess weight adds pressure to weight-bearing joints, which can worsen pain over time.

πŸ”Ή Sedentary lifestyle
Too little movement can lead to stiff, weakened joints. Gentle, regular activity helps keep joints mobile.

πŸ”Ή Diet choices
Highly processed foods, sugary drinks, and alcohol may contribute to inflammation for some people.

πŸ”Ή Skipping medications
Not staying consistent with treatment plans can lead to worsening symptoms or more frequent flares.

πŸ’™ The good news:
Small daily habits β€” like staying active, eating anti-inflammatory foods, keeping stress in check, and following your treatment plan β€” can make a meaningful difference in how you feel.

If you’re struggling with flare-ups, our team is here to help you find relief and build a plan that works for you.

Living with rheumatoid arthritis or another inflammatory condition? 🧑
The choices you make every day can gently dial inflammation down and support your joints over time.

According to health experts, simple habits like these can make a difference:

πŸ‘‰ Choosing more whole foods (think leafy greens, berries, salmon, walnuts) and fewer ultra-processed snacks
πŸ‘‰ Moving your body most days with joint-friendly activities like walking, swimming, or gentle strength training
πŸ‘‰ Prioritizing 7–9 hours of quality sleep to let your body β€œreset”
πŸ‘‰ Managing stress through mindfulness, deep breathing, or quiet time in nature
πŸ‘‰ Staying connected with friends, family, and supportive communities

None of this replaces your medicationβ€”but it can complement the treatment plan you’ve built with your rheumatology provider.

πŸ“ Connecting at the Georgia Academy of Family Physicians Event!

Articularis Rheumatology Specialists attended the Georgia Academy of Family Physicians (GAFP) Annual Scientific Assembly in Atlanta β€” an important event bringing together leaders in primary care, clinical education, and patient advocacy.

Representing our team were market development liaison, Shomari Moore, and Dr. Clare Omekam of ARS Smyrna. They spent the day building relationships, sharing insights on rheumatologic care, and strengthening partnerships that help ensure patients across Georgia receive timely access to specialty care.

We’re proud to collaborate with family physicians across the state as we work together to improve outcomes for patients living with arthritis, autoimmune disease, and other rheumatic conditions. πŸ’™

Women are hit harder by rheumatoid arthritis than menβ€”and a new study helps explain why. πŸ’œ

Researchers found that even when men and women have similar starting disease activity and receive comparable treatment, women tend to:
HealthCentral

πŸ”Έ Have higher disease activity over time
πŸ”Έ Need more treatment adjustments, including higher use of biologic DMARDs
πŸ”Έ Experience more difficulty with daily tasks like dressing, grooming, walking, and eating
πŸ”Έ Report more pain and functional impairment, despite being actively treated

Nearly 80% of people with autoimmune diseases are women, and women are 2–3 times more likely than men to have RA. Hormones (like estrogen), genetics, muscle strength differences, and psychosocial factors may all play a role.

For our practice, this reinforces something we see every day:
πŸ‘‰ RA is not one-size-fits-all.
πŸ‘‰ Women may need more individualized, sex-specific treatment plans and added support such as physical therapy, pain management strategies, and mental health resources.

If you’re a woman living with joint pain, stiffness, or swelling that just doesn’t add up, you’re not aloneβ€”and you don’t have to push through it.

πŸ’¬ Talk with our rheumatology team about your symptoms, goals, and daily challenges. Together, we can build a treatment plan that supports you.

🍁 Tips for Managing Gout During the Holiday Season

The holidays bring plenty of delicious food and celebrations β€” but they can also bring common gout triggers. Here’s how to protect your joints and enjoy the season comfortably:

πŸ₯© Limit high-purine foods & drinks
Red meat, certain seafoods, alcohol, and sugary beverages can increase uric acid levels and raise your risk of a flare.

πŸ’§ Stay hydrated
Drinking plenty of water helps lower uric acid and prevents dehydration-related gout attacks β€” especially important during busy holiday travel and gatherings.

πŸ“‹ Know your triggers
Keep an eye on your diet, stress levels, and even weather changes. Cold temperatures and seasonal stress can sometimes worsen symptoms.

Taking a few simple steps can make a big difference in keeping gout flares at bay this season. πŸ‚

πŸ’œ How Yoga Supports People Living With Lupus

Living with lupus often means navigating pain, fatigue, stiffness, and stress β€” but gentle movement practices like yoga can offer real, research-supported benefits. πŸŒΏπŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ

Here are a few ways yoga can help:
✨ Reduces Stress & Calms the Nervous System
Deep breathing and mindful movement lower stress hormones and can help lessen lupus flares triggered by stress.

✨ Boosts Mind-Body Connection
Yoga encourages mindfulness, helping patients better understand their body’s signals and pacing needs.

✨ Enhances Mental Well-Being
Many people with lupus report improved mood, reduced anxiety, and a greater sense of control over their health.
