@theclassicwife Yes! I lost approx 40 lbs from birth to 6 months pp. Food scale + walking helped me. I was eating 2000 cal of trail mix during night feeds for the first 5 weeks tho! My genes are not favorable to this either, just be mindful about quality AND quantity
@Mariean_w I had an induction with a big baby, pain became too much once they broke my water. I think the size of baby definitely contributed to the pain. I got the epidural bc I stalled at 3 cm,dilated to 9 cm in 2 hours. I wasn't any less proud of myself for getting the epidural!
@theNOBSdentist Facebook targeted ads that seem to be AI, podcast setting discussing teeth in pregnancy.I've been using nobs for years and I like the product but for some reason the onslaught of ads turns me off a bit. Feels like it's cheapening the brand
@berrysweetmum OP was my friend in highschool and she is deeply insecure. I have no recollection of Bayleigh and I also went to highschool with her too lol op is a hater to her core and extremely mentally ill in a way that makes it impossible to sympathize
Insulin resistance never shows up alone, it usually comes with 3 clear hormonal fingerprints:
- It increases aromatase, converting more androgens into estrogen.
- It grows ovarian androgen signalling, often showing up like acne, stubborn fat, irregular menses, or PCOS symptoms.
- It promotes fat storage, which then becomes an active estrogen factory.
This is why insulin resistance is never just about blood sugar. It is often a fertility, metabolism, and estrogen story.
@BioavailableNd Do you have a postpartum protocol of some kind? 11 months pp and wondering what I ought to examine wrt prolonged hair shedding, skin changes, etc
Someone will come along and tell you chia seeds are good for you and that they will make your hair grow and then someone else will come along and tell you not to consume chia seeds because they are high in polyunsaturated fat but the truth is you have to look within and activate blood memories from your mothers mothers grandmothers mother and then eat a delicious bowl of chia pudding made with organic homemade almond milk and grassfed Greek yogurt topped with wild blueberries and raw honey and homemade granola and then look in the mirror and wiggle your hipsand ask yourself if they are truly βbadβ for you
