August is Gastroparesis Awareness Month. For clinicians managing GLP-1 therapy, delayed gastric emptying is a mechanism of the drug class and a recognized contributor to upper GI symptoms (Camilleri et al., 2022). When nausea and early satiety cut protein intake, lean mass follows, and older patients are the most exposed (Prokopidis et al., 2026). PAM Health Outpatient Therapy partners with prescribers through the Muscle Matters program: strength assessment, progressive resistance training, and coordination with dietary support so weight loss does not become muscle loss. We would welcome your referrals.

Every summer, parts of the country deal with the effects of wildfires. As drifting wildfire smoke this summer became more widespread across the United States, we wanted to share how you can protect your respiratory health in the event of poor outdoor air quality.

• Understand the different colored levels of the Air Quality Index (AQI) and the health risks for different groups of people at each level
• At unhealthy air quality levels, try to limit the amount of time you spend outdoors. If you must go outside, consider wearing a high-quality N95 or KN95 mask to help filter pollution in the air before you breathe it in.
• Preserve indoor air quality by keeping windows and doors closed on poor air quality days and using a portable air cleaner with a HEPA filter.

If you live with chronic lung conditions such as COPD or asthma, you may be at higher risk for health problems because of decreased air quality. PAM Health’s cardiopulmonary rehab program is led by expert therapists who can help you be proactive about your lung and heart health through targeted therapy, exercises, and lifestyle support.

Losing Weight? Do Not Lose Your Strength: GLP-1 medications produce real weight loss, but a portion can come from lean mass, and older adults carry the highest risk of trading fat for frailty (Prokopidis et al., 2026; Locatelli et al., 2024). Structured resistance training with adequate protein preserves the muscle while the medication does its work (Mozaffarian et al., 2025).

We can’t believe it’s true, but August - the last full month of summer – is here. Don’t forget to keep heat and sun safety a priority when you’re out and about! Check out our tips for staying safe in the sun and in the event of extreme heat:

• Find shady areas for a break from the sun when possible; Avoid work or exercise outside during peak heat hours of the day.
• Drink plenty of water regularly and proactively, especially when doing strenuous activities or sweating. Electrolytes help replenish lost fluids, too. Avoid caffeinated, sugary, and alcoholic beverages, as each of those can contribute to dehydration.
• Wear sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 and reapply as recommended. Prolonged exposure to then sun can result in sunburn – and can contribute to skin cancer.
• Wear loose-fitting, light-colored clothing and a wide-brimmed hat to protect yourself from the sun’s rays.
• Understand the signs and symptoms of heat-related illnesses. Be sure to act sooner versus later.

Beat the heat and work toward your best self with PAM Health’s specialized pulmonary rehab and other programs. Reach out today to learn more!

August is National Golf Month. Golf is real exercise, with research linking play to better cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health and even longevity (Murray et al., 2017). But the swing asks a lot: rotation, balance, hip mobility, and power. If pain or stiffness is costing you distance, or costing you rounds, a PAM Health outpatient therapist can rebuild the movement behind the swing. Play more Augusts.
