Instant Pot

So many on the site have talked about their Instant Pot ... I had no idea it was so popular. The Facebook group has over a million members. I absolutely am going to get one.

Re: Welcome!!!

Hi, KrisRich, welcome to the site! We indeed have a lot of information here. :-) I'll point you toward our site Primer . It was written by physician member Stavia, and is a wonderful reference many of us use over and over. It will probably answer many of your questions as you think of them. And Dr. ...

Re: Newbie, My dad just passed from Alzheimers and I'm APOE4/4

I know... I have another appointment with my doctor this Wednesday to go over my blood panel. He also has the APOE4 gene but he seems to be somewhat apathetic about it due to lack of scientific evidence on proven prevention methods. Basically, he suggests stay active, stay social, engage mentally e...

Tincup, that could be the watch word [[sentence]] for this entire site. Wish every poster would consider those words, just prior to hitting submit.
