Ok....my Dr is officially cool

@bookerdana it does.
When you reach rhe point your body starts using itself for fuel....it naturally eats up old and damaged cells first.

So even if doesnt help me lose any weight, itll clean out cellular rubbish and reduce inflammation.

Im hoping itll help reset my immune system a bit. I have a weird immune issue that no doctor really wants to do anything about except Medicte me for🤷‍♀

@OogieBoogie Thats how the Drs are taught to think...and even when they go the other way its bad..knew a guy who needed pain meds for diabetic neuropathy..so the doc in her infinite wisdom sent him to a mindfullness/pain program (with the promise would prescribe if the program didn't work)

It didn't,so he basically killed himself by not taking his Diabetes meds..
a real horror show

@bookerdana omg !
That's horrible!

I do think Drs have a lot to deal with, and too little time to get to know their patients.

These days you really gotta be your own doctor... and research.

Ive decided thar drs schooling should be revised and updated.
Younger Drs are better equipped to be open to other therapies. Old drs are only as good as they got told decades ago.

I regularly watch nutritionists and sports drs and physios etc on youtube.
Plus theres a lot to be said for ancient medicine.
So i check that shit out too.

@OogieBoogie They love when you've scoured the internet..NOT😆

Sorry probably out of line to post that gristly tale

@bookerdana nah. It does happen.

That is partly what put me on this journey in the first place.

I had so much going on health wise. I was a wreck.
And if it wasnt for one particularly bad doctor - id prolly be on about six types of medications by now:
- NSRI's
- Metformin
- Antiinflammatories
- Analgesics
- steroids
- statins
- mood stabilizers
....and more

It was only a fluke thing that food was a self care thing for me....that by literally following my gut.....i started to improve.

Which encouraged me to see if there was a connection.


Since then..... nearly every medication ive been put on - ive looked up what i can holistically do for myself....and done it.

My bloods are nearly perfect now. Just a few tweaks to go.

And my state of mind is like, i dunno 70%? ,(maybe more), better.

Like.... considering my prevoius life style....i should be have full blown metabolic diabetes by now.
But i stopped it. Or at least i stopped eating in such a manner that made my blood glucose go up, and reduces metabolic inflammation.... which is the cause of metabolic induced diebetes.
So....its a win - win.

And not one Dr explained this to me. I had to find it all out....do the hard yards. Trial diets one after the other.

I think its crazy that nutrition of patients isn't considered. Or even asked about .

@OogieBoogie I'm so glad you're doing so much better,and by your own research💪

@bookerdana Dear Lort....so am i.

Imagine how much of my pay id use up if i was on that many meds?
Its crazy

@OogieBoogie Its strange,many of the Founders of The United without these medicationsStates,Washington,Jefferson ,Adams lived to ripe old ages

@bookerdana exactly.

In fact in some places in the world, life expectancy is going back down.
And health is at an all time low.

It shouldn't be the 21st century and be like this

@OogieBoogie They have different problems,starvation,parasite infestation,no anti-biotics ( the last may be returning to the United States 😔)

@bookerdana ummm....i was actually talking about the US 😅
...sorry

@OogieBoogie well how speci😏al!
