👉(A) Pathophysiology and risk factors for sarcopenic obesity development. Aging and obesity that is induced by unhealthy diet and lack of exercise will promote the development of sarcopenic obesity. Sarcopenic obesity is associated with several deleterious biological mechanisms such as insulin resistance, lipotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and proteostasis. Sarcopenic obesity is characterized by adipose tissue expansion and muscle loss that cause increased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, increased leptin, reduced adiponectin, and intramyocellular lipid deposits. Individuals with sarcopenic obesity are more at risk of several conditions such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, fracture, and hospitalization. GDF15, Growth differentiation factor 15; FGF21, Fibroblast growth factor 21.

👉 (B) As a result of sarcopenic obesity, there is an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, fractures, and frailty, as well as hospitalizations, morbidity and mortality, disability, and decreased quality of life.

Health Isn’t Built in a Day — It’s Built Daily 🧠💪

When it comes to getting healthier, most people go all in:
The extreme diet.
The 2-hour daily workouts.
The all-or-nothing mindset.

But here’s the thing…
🚫 Intensity fades.
🚫 It leads to burnout, injury, or giving up.
🚫 And it often puts you right back where you started — or worse.

What truly works?
✅ Consistency.
✅ Discipline.
✅ Small, manageable changes—repeated over time.

Health isn’t about being perfect for a week.

It’s about being intentional for months… even years.

Start with:
🥗 Swapping one processed meal for whole foods
🚶 Walking 15 minutes a day
🛏️ Sleeping 30 minutes earlier
💧 Drinking more water
🧠 Managing stress with mindfulness or
breathwork

Tiny actions may not feel like much at first—but they stack up.
And over time, they become your new normal.

Health is a lifestyle, not a 30-day sprint.
Small steps. Every day. Big change. Guaranteed.

Just 3 nights.

That’s all it takes for your body to lose up to 30% of its ability to manage sugar — leading to stubborn fat, blood sugar crashes, and hormone chaos.
Even short-term poor sleep can tank your insulin sensitivity, making it harder to regulate blood sugar, store more belly fat, and drive up inflammation.

What does that look like in real life?
😴 Constant fatigue
😤 Mood swings
⚖️ Stubborn weight gain
💔 Low libido

Or worse — prediabetes, insulin resistance, or type 2 diabetes.
These silent conditions slowly steal your energy, focus, and quality of life.

Don’t wait until your body forces you to slow down.

Take control now.

🚫 The Devastating Effects of Soda on Your Health 🥤

Sipping on cold soda might seem harmless, but the health consequences are far from sweet. A single can of soda contains up to 10 teaspoons of sugar—that's more than your daily limit in just one drink.

Regular soda consumption has been linked to a wide range of serious health risks, including:
⚠️ Weight Gain & Obesity – Empty calories and sugars contribute to fat storage.�⚠️ Type 2 Diabetes – Sugar spikes blood glucose and promotes insulin resistance.�⚠️ Tooth Decay & Cavities – Acidity + sugar = serious dental damage.�⚠️ Heart Disease & Stroke – Increased risk from high sugar and sodium content.�⚠️ Osteoporosis – Phosphoric acid in soda can leach calcium from bones.�⚠️ Kidney Damage – Linked to both sugary and diet sodas.�⚠️ Cancer, GI Issues, & Nutrient Imbalance – Chronic soda intake disrupts overall health.

And here’s the kicker: Diet drinks are probably even worse.�Artificial sweeteners may confuse your metabolism, increase sugar cravings, and have been linked to weight gain, insulin resistance, and potential long-term risks like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and even certain cancers.

💧Your best bet? Choose water, unsweetened tea, or naturally flavored seltzer.

💪🧠Your body—and your future—will thank you.

Let’s talk about life after baby — and how your body feels, not just how it looks.

Postpartum changes can leave you with more than just a softer belly. Hormonal shifts, abdominal separation (diastasis recti), and pelvic floor dysfunction can all contribute to lower back instability and core muscle weakness. This makes you more vulnerable to pain and injury — especially in the low back and hips.

At Tonic, we understand that healing from the inside out is key. While treatments like massage, dry needling, electric stim, PT, and chiropractic care can help manage symptoms, they don’t always address the root cause: muscle weakness that's putting extra stress on your spine.

That’s where Emsculpt Neo Core to Floor comes in — a breakthrough, non-invasive treatment that targets your core and pelvic floor simultaneously.
Using high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy, Emsculpt Neo triggers thousands of deep muscle contractions in a single session — equivalent to doing 20,000 crunches . It’s FDA-cleared for strengthening the abdominals, obliques, glutes, legs, calves and arm muscles, helping restore strength, stability, and tone — without surgery or downtime.

✨ Quick 30-minute sessions
✨ Strengthens weakened core + pelvic floor
✨ Reduces postpartum back pain + instability
✨ Improves posture, urinary leakage, and confidence

Whether you're chasing toddlers or juggling work and family life, Emsculpt Neo Core to Floor helps you feel strong, stable, and more like yourself again.

You deserve to feel confident in your body — not just in how it looks, but how it performs.

🌟 Knee Pain? Don’t Settle for a One-Track Solution 💉💊

At SoftWave New Orleans, we believe knee pain should be addressed from multiple angles—not just masked with temporary fixes or rushed into surgery.
If your current approach isn't looking at the full picture, you might be missing the mark. Here's what you need to know:

➡️ Injections are temporary—they may give short-term relief but often accelerate joint breakdown, increasing the likelihood of knee replacement.
➡️ Nutrition matters—cut down on inflammatory foods like sugar, grains, and seed oils.
➡️ Hydration is key—choose water over soda, coffee, or alcohol to help reduce inflammation.
➡️ Weight makes a difference—just 10 lbs of weight loss can feel like 40 lbs less pressure on your knees!
➡️ Strengthen your support system—your glutes, core, and quads all play a critical role in knee health as you age.

We also use cutting-edge tools that make a real difference:
✅ Knee on Trac
✅ Class 4 Laser Therapy
✅ Foot Levelers Arch Supports (when necessary)
✅ SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology
✅ Emsculpt Neo (for more advanced cases)

💡 Before you consider injections or surgery, look at what’s in your control. Many of our patients were told they needed surgery—but got back to doing what they love without invasive procedures.
