🌞 Happy First Day of Summer! As the Northeast kicks off the season with a serious heatwave, it’s the perfect time to check in on how extreme temps can affect your health—especially if you're on a weight loss or metabolic health journey. At Revolution Medicine, we’re here to help you stay safe, cool, and on track.
Here’s how to support your body during high heat and humidity:
🔥 Hydration is key
Aim for water-rich foods (like cucumbers, watermelon, and leafy greens) and sip water consistently throughout the day. Add electrolytes if you're sweating heavily or exercising outside.
🍽️ Lighten your meals
Large, heavy meals can make you feel sluggish and raise your core temperature. Focus on smaller, protein-forward meals with fresh produce to stay energized.
🚶♀️ Rethink your movement routine
If you're used to walking or working out outdoors, move your workouts indoors or shift them to early morning/evening when temps are lower.
😴 Prioritize sleep
Heat can disrupt sleep, which affects hunger hormones and cravings. Use fans, blackout curtains, or a cold shower before bed to improve rest.
🧠 Listen to your body
Feeling faint, dizzy, or overly fatigued? Don’t push through it. Heat-related illness is serious—give yourself permission to slow down.
Summer is a time for growth, light, and energy—but also for tuning in. Whether you're managing medication side effects, fluid shifts, or simply adjusting your routine, give your body the support it needs.
Wishing you a safe, strong, and healthy start to summer!
