🧬 INFLAMMATION: What You Think Is “Normal” Might Not Be

Bloating. Acne. Brain fog. Fatigue.
These everyday symptoms might actually be chronic, low-grade inflammation—your body’s quiet alarm bell. Left unchecked, it can lead to conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and even some cancers [PMID: 24807215, 32631805].

☝️ Swipe through to learn what causes hidden inflammation and what you can do to bring it down.

⸻

🔥 5 Evidence-Based Ways to Reduce Inflammation:

🥑 1. Eat More Omega-3s
Foods like flaxseed, chia, walnuts, and h**p are rich in ALA, which helps reduce inflammatory markers like CRP [PMID: 23211931].

🌈 2. Add Color to Your Plate
Bright veggies (beets, peppers, berries) are loaded with antioxidants like polyphenols and anthocyanins—nature’s inflammation fighters [PMID: 29099763].

😴 3. Prioritize Quality Sleep
Even one night of poor sleep raises pro-inflammatory cytokines. Aim for 7–8 hours consistently [PMID: 31149918].

🚶 4. Move Daily
30 minutes of moderate movement can lower inflammatory biomarkers like IL-6 and TNF-alpha [PMID: 26159796].

🍷 5. Cut Back on Alcohol
Alcohol—even in moderate amounts—can disturb your gut microbiome and increase systemic inflammation [PMID: 34369518].

👉 If you’re feeling off, you’re not imagining it. Chronic inflammation is real—and treatable. At Atrium Medical, we take a science-first approach to help uncover the root cause and guide you toward better health.

💪 Muscle: Your Longevity Powerhouse 🧬

Muscle isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a vital organ for health, resilience, and independence at every age and for all genders.

✅ Boosts metabolic health – More muscle means better glucose control and lower risk of diabetes (PMID: 35075086).
✅ Supports bone strength – Resistance training stimulates bone density, reducing fracture risk (PMID: 33244574).
✅ Protects against aging – Higher muscle mass is linked to lower mortality and longer healthspan (PMID: 31218983).
✅ Improves immune function – Skeletal muscle acts as a protein reserve during illness (PMID: 33529397).
✅ Enhances mental health – Strength training reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety (PMID: 29729558).

🛠 How to build & preserve muscle:
• Incorporate resistance training 2–3x/week 🏋️‍♀️
• Eat adequate protein 🍳
• Prioritize recovery and sleep 😴
• Stay active daily 🚶‍♂️

Muscle is medicine—for life. Start now.

Tips to Reduce Heavy Drooling at Night 😴💤

✅ Clear your nose before sleeping – Use a saline spray, steam inhalation, or take a warm shower to help you breathe through your nose and keep your mouth closed.

✅ Sleep on your back – Sleeping on your side or stomach makes drooling worse due to gravity. Try sleeping on your back with a slightly raised pillow to keep saliva in place.

✅ Eat early and light – Finish dinner 2–3 hours before bed and skip spicy, oily, or heavy food as it can cause a burning feeling or stomach acid to creep in.

✅ Avoid late-night caffeine, sugar, and alcohol – They can mess with digestion and trigger more saliva. Stick to calming, gut-friendly options before bed (like chamomile tea or warm turmeric milk).

✅ Take care of your gut – If your digestion is off or you have acidity, it can lead to more drooling. Consume gut-friendly foods and add fiber to help things move better.

✅ Use a humidifier – Dry air can block your nose and make you breathe through your mouth. A humidifier keeps your airways moist and open.

⚠️ Still drooling + feeling tired? If nothing helps and you wake up tired or with a dry mouth, get your sleep quality checked. It could be sleep apnea or another sleep-breathing issue.

💡 Save this post if you’re a night drooler, and share it with someone who needs to know it’s not just them.

🚶‍♀️ The Japanese Walking Method: Why It’s Trending AND Backed by Science 🇯🇵✨

This isn’t just a fad. This walking style focuses on:
✅ Proper posture (elongating the spine, engaging core muscles)

✅ Activation of stabilizer muscles often missed in regular walks

Why it works:
• Improves gait efficiency and balance (PMID: 33124165)

• Supports fat oxidation and metabolic health (PMID: 35172173)
• Enhances mental focus and relaxation (PMID: 28420817)

💡 It’s low-impact, accessible to nearly everyone, and can be adapted indoors or outdoors.

📌 Save this post for your next walk. Your body deserves smarter movement.

🧠🕰 Your Circadian Rhythm: The Master Clock of Your Health

Your circadian rhythm isn’t just about sleep. It’s your body’s 24-hour internal clock that governs everything from hormone secretion to metabolism, immune function, and even mood.

When aligned:
✔ You sleep deeply
✔ You digest efficiently
✔ You think clearly
✔ You age more slowly

When disrupted:
✘ You gain weight more easily
✘ You feel foggy or anxious
✘ Your risk of chronic disease rises

🔬 Key Disruptors:
• Artificial light at night
• Shift work and late-night screens
• Eating late or irregularly
• Jet lag and social jet lag
• Chronic stress

🛠 How to Reset Your Rhythm:
• 🚶‍♂️Morning sunlight within 60 minutes of waking
• 💤 Consistent sleep-wake times
• 🍽 Early, time-restricted eating (12-hour window or less)
• ❌ Avoid screens or blue light 1-2 hours before bed
• 🧘‍♀️ Evening wind-down with no caffeine or alcohol

🔥 Heat warning: Are your meds on this list? 🔥

During summer’s hottest months, remember that your meds may increase your risk of heat-related illness and injury. So SAVE this post!

Certain meds like anti-seizure meds, antidepressants, migraine treatments, and more can interfere with your body’s ability to cool down or regulate fluids 💧. That means the risk of overheating, dehydration, or heat-related illnesses (like heat stroke ☀️) increases.

⚠️ Symptoms may include:
• Excessive sweating 😓
• Increased body temperature 🌡️
• Atypical pulse (too fast or weak) ❤️‍🩹
• Dizziness, nausea and/or vomiting 🤢
• Muscle cramps, confusion, and even fainting
• Higher risk if you have dysautonomia or other neurological conditions

👉 First, talk to your Atrium medical expert about your medications. Ask if any adjustments are needed.

💦 Tips to stay safe:
• Hydrate regularly 🥤
• Take breaks often 🛑
• Stick to shade or AC ☂️
• Cool your body before it overheats (fan, cold packs, etc.) ❄️
• Create an emergency kit 🧰
• Let others know your risks and symptoms
• Request accommodations if using public transport or working outdoors
• Use a heart rate app if you don’t have a smartwatch 📱

👂 And if something feels off: trust your body. Take the break you need. Your health matters most.

🧠💬 Your brain and gut are in constant conversation.
It’s called the gut-brain axis—a two-way highway linking your thoughts, moods, and digestion.

✨ What you feel can affect your gut.
🥗 What you eat can affect your mind.

According to research (PMID: 32980612), your gut bacteria help regulate brain chemistry, stress response, and even memory. 90% of serotonin is made in the gut!

Here’s how to support your gut–brain connection 👇

⸻

🍌 Prebiotics: Feed your good bacteria
→ Oats, garlic, onions, bananas (slightly firm!)

🧂 Probiotics: Add more good bacteria
→ Yogurt, kefir kimchi, kombucha, other fermented foods
(PMID: 27623271, 30347536)

🧘🏽‍♀️ Regular movement
→ Walk after meals, stretch, dance, or do 30 mins of yoga

😌 Stress reduction
→ Deep breathing (inhale 4s, exhale 6s), journaling, mindfulness

🥬 Fiber: Your microbiome’s favorite snack
→ Leafy veggies, berries, soaked chia/flax—aim for 20–25g daily

💤 Sleep: Reset your gut’s rhythm
→ No screens 30 mins before bed, stretch or read fiction instead

💧 Hydration: Don’t forget the basics
→ 2–3L/day

⸻

Even small gut health upgrades can improve 💡 mental clarity, emotional balance, and energy.

💡 Did you know your happiness depends on four key hormones?
Your brain isn’t just one switch—it’s a biochemical orchestra of dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins. When these are in sync, we feel energized, connected, balanced, and joyful.

🔬 Dopamine (motivation & reward)
👉 Boost with small wins, new learning, and protein-rich foods
📉 Depleted by sugar, sleep loss, and social media overload
📚 [PMID: 23986222] on dopamine pathways and neuroplasticity

🌞 Serotonin (mood stability)
👉 Gut health is key—90% of serotonin is made in the gut
🌱 Fiber, probiotics, and sunlight make a difference
📚 [PMID: 30120299] on the gut-brain axis and serotonin production

💞 Oxytocin (connection & trust)
👉 Fostered through hugs, intimacy, pets, and acts of kindness
📉 Drops with loneliness and isolation
📚 [PMID: 22245455] on oxytocin and social bonding

🏃‍♀️ Endorphins (natural painkillers)
👉 Triggered by laughter, exercise, and music
🧠 Help with stress and pain regulation
📚 [PMID: 29140088] on the endorphin system and resilience

🧠 These chemicals don’t work alone. When one dips, the rest wobble. Think of them as a system—not isolated switches.

At Atrium Medical, we approach mental wellness as part of your whole-body health. Lifestyle, nutrition, relationships—they all count.
