Raw milk isn’t edgy.
It’s just unsafe. 🥛🚫

“Natural” doesn’t mean harmless.
It means bacteria didn’t get filtered out.

We didn’t pasteurize milk for fun.
We did it because people were getting sick. A lot.

You don’t have to relitigate 100-year-old science to be interesting.
Drink the milk that won’t wreck your gut. 🧠✨

GLP-1s are everywhere.
So are the myths. 👀💊

Let’s clear up a few things we hear all the time at the practice:

• ⏳ Weight loss is gradual, not instant. These meds are titrated over months.
• 🤢 Side effects aren’t inevitable. Most are manageable with simple tweaks.
• 🍽️ Eating too little actually makes things worse. Protein + hydration matter.
• 💪 Muscle loss isn’t a given. Strength + nutrition protect body composition.
• ❤️ You don’t “lose your love of food.” Appetite noise quiets. Enjoyment stays.

These meds aren’t magic. They’re physiology.
And expectations make or break the experience.

We live in some stressful times 😮‍💨
And sometimes your body just needs a reset.

Here are a few simple nervous-system friendly habits our clinicians actually use, too ✨

💨 Longer exhales
🦶 Feeling your feet on the ground
😬 Unclenching your jaw
🚶 Slowing one small action down
👀 Gently looking around your space
😮‍💨 Humming or a deep sigh
☀️ Stepping into natural light

Not cures. Not shortcuts.
Just gentle ways to help your body feel safer, faster.

Save this for later 💛

Same BMI ≠ same body.

Let’s make BMI make sense:

BMI = weight ÷ height²
That’s it. No magic.

So here’s the problem:
BMI can’t tell what your weight is made of.

Two people can have the same BMI and totally different risk because BMI can’t separate:
💪 lean mass (muscle)
🧈 fat mass
📍 where fat is stored

Types of fat (this part matters):

Subcutaneous fat = between skin + fascia
(often what “hides your abs”)

Visceral fat = deeper, around organs (gut/liver/kidneys)
This is the one strongly linked to:
⚠️ insulin resistance
⚠️ fatty liver
⚠️ inflammation
⚠️ cardiometabolic risk

So if you’re tracking health, don’t just chase the scale.
Track what the scale is made of:
✅ visceral fat
✅ muscle
✅ metabolic markers (A1c, TGs, BP)

✨ Wellness Wednesday

If your organs could talk, they wouldn’t say “biohacking.”
They’d say: sleep, move, hydrate, eat real food… and stop doing the most. 😭🫀🧠

This is your reminder that health is mostly the boring basics… done consistently.

Today is National Women Physicians Day 👩‍⚕️✨

Aka: celebrating the day Elizabeth Blackwell basically looked at medicine in the 1800s and said: “yeah… I’m coming in anyway.” 😌

She was admitted to med school as a literal “joke.”
And then she went: “lol ok, watch this,” graduated top of her class, and went on to build institutions that changed healthcare forever.

Girl boss. Said bet. 💅🩺

To every woman physician, past, present, and future:
thank you for the grit, the brains, and the care you bring to a system that still doesn’t always make it easy. 🤍

And special shoutout to our founder, Dr. Shilpa Paradkar Singh: a force of nature, a phenomenal physician, and the warmest human you could ever want in your corner. 💙

GLP-1s: There is more going on than weight loss ✨

Most people think GLP-1 medications are only about the number on the scale. But the real story is risk reduction and long-term health.

💓 Heart health: Large trials show fewer heart attacks and strokes in people with obesity or diabetes who take GLP-1s.

🧠 Brain health: Early data suggests lower risks of dementia and stroke compared to other diabetes meds. Still being studied, but promising.

🔥 Inflammation: Markers like CRP drop, which matters because chronic low-grade inflammation drives a lot of disease.

🧍 Visceral fat: These meds reduce deep belly fat that wraps around your organs. This type of fat is the most dangerous metabolically.

🫀 Kidney protection: In diabetes, GLP-1s reduce kidney decline and serious kidney events.

⚠️ Important note: These benefits are from real clinical trials, and most relate to people with diabetes or obesity. This is not cosmetic medicine. This is chronic disease care.

So yes, weight loss is what we see. But risk reduction is what matters.

Always discuss risks, benefits, and whether it is appropriate for you with a clinician who understands metabolic health.

🌿 🪴 Plants are the new pets.
No barking no shedding no drama. Just ✨vibes✨ and oxygen.

This video is basically the Avengers of indoor plants:
🪴 Snake plant = “I survive anything” energy
🌿 Eucalyptus = spa mode unlocked
🌴 Parlor palm = humidifier-ish friend
🌸 Peace lily = pretty + calm vibes
🌳 Weeping fig = big room, big main character

Do plants replace ventilation or HEPA filters? No.
Do they give you a serotonin boost and make your living space feel 100x more alive? Absolutely yes.

Which ones have you adopted? 🫶 Share in the comments!

This Self-Care Saturday we’re learning about skin stuff 🧴✨
Because if your shelf looks like Sephora and your face still feels “meh”… it’s probably not you, it’s the ingredients.

Quick guide to the acid + glow squad 👇

🧪 Glycolic acid (AHA): smooths texture + brightens (can be spicy)
🍊 Vitamin C: antioxidant glow, helps dark spots + collagen support
🌿 Mandelic acid (gentler AHA): great for sensitive skin + beginners
🧊 Azelaic acid: redness + acne + pigmentation = triple threat
🌙 Retinol: acne + fine lines + collagen (start low, go slow)

Rule of thumb:
✅ pick ONE main active at a time
✅ moisturize like it’s your job
✅ sunscreen daily or the skincare doesn’t count ☀️

Not medical advice. If you’re breaking out, burning, or p*eling nonstop: pause and ask your doc/derm.

🚽🌈 Your p*e is basically a daily health report 😅

Quick guide:
💧 Clear: you may be overhydrating (or just chugging water like it’s a sport)
🍋 Pale yellow: ideal “hydrated but not washed out”
🌕 Bright yellow/neon: usually B vitamins (totally common)
🍯 Dark yellow/amber: you’re likely dehydrated
🧃 Orange: dehydration, some meds/supplements… sometimes liver/bile issues (don’t ignore)
🍓 Pink/red: could be beets, food dyes… or blood
🩸 During menstruation: blood can mix with urine and look alarming (context matters!)

⚠️ If you see red/pink urine without a clear food/period explanation, or you have any pain/burning: don’t “wait it out.” Get checked.

Save this for the next time your body decides to be ✨mysterious✨.

The first thing we lose with age isn’t volume 🔊
It’s pitch 👂

Most people don’t suddenly “go deaf.”
What actually happens is sneakier:

👶 Kids’ voices start sounding muffled
🔤 Consonants like S, F, TH fade away
🌆 Background noise suddenly feels overwhelming

Why?
Because we slowly lose the ability to hear high-frequency sounds.

By your 40s, many adults can’t hear much above 12–14 kHz.
That’s normal aging, not disease.

🎧 Headphones
🎶 Concerts
⏳ Time

It all adds up.

Protect your ears now.
Future you will thank you 🙏

⚡️ Most people think creatine is just for dudes trying to get jacked.
But creatine is really an ATP-support molecule: it helps your body regenerate energy fast, especially in muscle + brain. 🧠💪

Here’s the real story:

✅ What creatine actually does
It helps replenish phosphocreatine (PCr), which rapidly regenerates ATP (your cells’ energy currency). 🔋

✅ Benefits backed by decades of research
• Improved strength + performance 💪
• Better recovery and less fatigue 🏋️
• Potential cognitive support (especially under stress / sleep deprivation) 🧠😴
• Supports healthy aging and lean mass preservation ⏳

🚺 Why women should pay attention
Hormonal fluctuations (and menopause) may affect creatine synthesis and utilization, meaning some women may have lower baseline stores at certain times. That’s a big deal if you’re training, recovering, or just trying to feel like yourself again.

🧪 How to take it (the simple version)
• Creatine monohydrate only
• 3–5g daily
• Timing doesn’t matter, consistency does

Not medical advice, but if you’re strength training, in perimenopause/menopause, or just trying to support brain + muscle long-term… talk to your Atrium clinician.
