My weight had increased significantly due to overeating and consuming junk food; so, I decided that it was time to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Consequently, I have now incorporated morning exercise and increased my protein intake alongside a healthy diet, and my weight is now under control.

So I’m majorly fed via artificial nutrition (looking to switch to peg at some point) but tonight (we are on holiday) I’m so hungry and tearful that my wife can eat normally -\[I also have to be gluten and dairy free\] and alls I want is normal fast food… I almost feel resentful… how do you cope?

I went to the ER for the second time. I had a new stroke but there is debate on when it happened. I am 47f and had stroke in my 30’s, but they didn’t catch due to pandemic and being pushed back by the medical system for being younger and female so I went for years until they figured out I needed this PFO/ASD closure. The ER referred me to see a Stoke Neurologist again so waiting on that appointment to see what next steps are for my new stroke. MY TEE Cath closure was 2 weeks ago. I didn’t expect to have a stroke and AFib after this procedure along with extreme hand weakness. I can not write my own name. Or use kitchen utensils to chop up my food so I been losing weight by being ...

Hey all, I’m still around. Mods made a decision so I’m helping with updates Rule 10 supplements New cholesterol guidelines, stop recommending supplements for LDL The 2026 ACC/AHA cholesterol guidance is pretty blunt on this: Commonly recommended supplements do not meaningfully lower LDL or improve outcomes. This includes: \- Fish oil (OTC) \- Garlic \- Cinnamon \- Turmeric \- Plant sterol supplements \- Red yeast rice In a randomized trial comparing these to a low-dose statin: \- Statin gave a 35% LDL reduction \- Supplements though were no better than placebo Important nuance people miss: \- OTC fish oil is NOT prescription EPA (icosapent ethyl still has...

So I have been using the Olaplex line for bond repair, shampoo, conditioner, and deeps conditioners for a few months as my regular routin. I only do the bond repair 2 times before a relaxer and 6 times after. Any other time afterwords its just their shampoo and conditioner or deep conditioner. Sometimes I use the Food for Soft Matrix deep conditioner that comes in that green tub. I don't use heat often or heavily style my hair because I'm focused on repair and evening out my hair from past damage that has been cut off/broken off. Depression is one **** of a thing to go through. Anyway, I've been wanting to add a deep conditioner with protein to my routine and was looking aroun...

She’s in dance, is quite fit, and seems to be emotionally ok (I check in with her constantly but of course it’s hard to tell for sure). She does seem withdrawn and quiet. But I’ve noticed she’s getting thinner and her meals are small and not nutritious enough. She’ll eat a lot of cucumbers or celery as if that’s enough food for example. Just now for lunch she took a small muffin and six celery sticks. I made her eat some cottage cheese with it for protein (I suggested it, didn’t force feed her). I’m worried about this. Is there a book I could get her or anything I could say? Or is a therapist the best bet?

My son (8 months) had a severe reaction to oats. Ended up in the ER after vomiting to bile, extreme lethargy, several blowouts, etc. ER stated it was GI bug, but he reacted again after another exposure 3 weeks later. Allergist diagnosed him with FPIES. He is iron deficient, and we started him on a multivitamin with iron yesterday. No issues at all. Started his food trial with Bananas today. He had 1/4 tsp to start. Made it through the normal reaction times with no vomiting. However, at 5 hours he had a blowout that was brown and smelly (normally yellow and breastfed poop smell). He hadn’t pooped since his iron supplement though. Would you lean towards this being due to the multivitamin, o...

Hi, this is my first ever post on Reddit, but I don't know where else to turn, since my entire team of doctors are failing me. I'm female, 46, 5'0,114lbs. I have a history of non stop auto immune issues, that they can't seem to narrow down, and now there's even more going on. Since I was about 6 years old, I've struggled with one health issue after another. About 15 years ago, they finally were able to diagnose me with lupus (took 12 tests before it showed up) I'm ANA positive, I have anti-DNA (DS) antibodies of 13IU (as of the last test) I have "atypical" everything, it seems. I am also diabetic, which they can't narrow down what kind. My ...

I'm curious if anyone here takes magnesium? I believe magnesium deficiency is very common and could mess up hormones. I think there are some studies that show no effect on pcos and some that show it helps, but I don't know they have been done very well. They give one 250mg magnesium oxide a day. Magnesium oxide is known for not being very well absorbed and one should really take magnesium in no more than 100mg dosages. I think the study also wasn't for very long and I think it could take months to fix a magnesium deficiency. Do you take magnesium? AI overview for an idea of how common it may be: Magnesium deficiency is highly common, with estimates suggesting that nearly 5...

HI, I am a 49F and have been drinking two bottles of wine pretty much every night for several years. I haven't drank in 11 days, which is the longest time in many years. I have a physical coming up so the doctor ordered bloodwork. I stopped drinking that day to hopefully make my labs look okay, because I was confident they were terrible. I had the labs drawn after being alcohol-free for 6 days. Surprisingly, everything came back with the normal ranges. The last time I had blood work was 6 years ago, so it's been awhile. My AST and ALT are normal, but definitely increased since then. The other thing she ordered was B1, and that was low. I am JUST under the range of normal, if I am ...

i’ve been eating 1k-1.3k for around 6 months now, i’m 5ft3 52kg and have been stuck for so long. i started off at 60kg, went down to 45 but my calories were too low so i raised them and now i’m 52. i’m pretty lean and i go gym 5 times a week, hit my protein and step goal, eat clean, 1200 calories, but can’t seem to lose the last 3kg i want. i sometimes nibble a bit from my friends food, or like maybe 4g of cookies, just scraps of food when i’m in the kitchen or when i’m cooking but i always make sure to add 50-100 calories when i do., and i can estimate pretty well since i’ve been dieting for like 3 years am i in starvation mode? am i actually mantaining at 1200 or am i t...

You know what's wild? We've normalized feeling exhausted, bloated, anxious, and foggy as just "adulting." We pop Advil like candy, chug coffee to function, and convince ourselves that feeling decent is some luxury reserved for wellness influencers. I spent years thinking I was just broken or lazy, turns out most of us are walking around with treatable issues we've been gaslit into accepting as normal. I've gone down a massive rabbit hole on this lately through podcasts, research papers, books, stuff from functional medicine doctors. The really fascinating part? A lot of these chronic issues we blame on stress or getting older are actually rooted in stuff we can...

I am 235 5’9 about 30% body fat. I am only eating one of these chicken ****** a day(air fried) and a protein bar at lunch (pure protein bar 200 cals 7g fat 20g protein) and tons of water. I am hitting the gym mostly working on chest arms and core with 10-14k steps a day . I have heard this is not a sustainable diet but I am trying to aggressively cut because I have fed my body pure fast food bs last 5 years. Please reassure me or let me know what I need to add

There's all this talk now about the "corporate slop bowl" places like Chipotle, Cava, Sweetgreen etc. and how it's just soulless food you should **** but I personally don't get it. While I know they're not perfect, to me they're among the "healthiest" options out there when it comes to fast food, and if you order right, it's a solid choice for people who are trying to be more health-conscious. I'm a guys who is into health and I always cook my meals at home, but if I'm ever out travelling where that isn't possible, the first thing I'm looking for is going to be for is a slop bowl place where I can get some decent protein, ...
