Re: Lexapro - sleep - increased HBA1c

I was able to drop down to 5 mg Lexapro about 6 months into starting the med 1 1/2 yrs ago. Your wife could try that if you're concerned...at the direction of her Dr of course, and me personally, I did a long 7.5 mg step down (1 pill one day, 1/2 pill the next).

Re: Intro & lipid panel question

I am aware that I am biased towards this interpretation of cholesterol at least partly because it makes my life easier if I don’t have to worry about my high cholesterol! I hear you. There's already so much to worry about, and this seems like something that might be worth letting go of. My doctor g...

Re: Intro & lipid panel question

hmmm I also drink a ton more coffee since covid lockdowns, another possible culprit. (23andme noted I have a gene for not getting jittery from OD'ing on caffeine, and that's true haha.)

Intro & lipid panel question

Hi, I've been lurking here for years and figure it's time for an intro. I'm 46 years old and a mom of three. I work from home (even pre-covid) as a writer/editor. I love food and exercise, see the username :-) and I've always had high-ish cholesterol. I eat a lot of vegetables and am on the skinny s...

Thank you for replying with the research results and the link to the other thread.

I had tried searching the forum for light therapy and 40 hz but I must have used the wrong or too many keywords :)

40 hz gamma light and sound therapy

I'm curious if anyone has tried 40hz light and sound therapy, on themselves or a loved one. Here's the background. Gamma brain waves generated by this light and sound stimulation trigger the cleanup of brain detritus and improve memory. https://www.pnas.org/content/117/31/18142 Here's info on the cu...

Thank you so much for the information about this olive oil. My order arrived today. Indeed, very well packed :) I've tasted the Coratina so far and love it. I also got the Favolosa oil, and a white balsamic.

I tend to read in the tub, which does take me out of my head. I'll give it a try, though, because I'd like to be able to meditate.
