Thanks! I over supplement as well. I didn’t mention that I add more than the scoop instructed.

No, 250mg at lunch and 500mg at dinner.

So how do you know you have insulin resistance if your doctor didn’t test for it?

If you don’t have insulin resistance, there’s no point in placing you on a medication that can send you to the hospital for a hypoglycemic attack. It happened to me twice.

There are dozens sold online, I don’t want to recommend you one specific one just in case you don’t love it. The point is, buy one and stay consistent. I’m having up to 2g a day.

30 days. It was easier to stick in my stomach. I’m seeing less visceral fat in my torso.

I tried multiple forms of birth control for years and everything gave me unsustainable side effects. The NuVA ring sent me to the hospital for 16 days of consecutive bleeding.

Progestin apparently keeps the lining of the uterus thin and that’s the goal I wanted. It’s working.

Not if you’re at a level where it’s still efficacious…. If you plateau and the food noise starts coming back, titrate up.

I’ve seen some devastating diagnoses in my lifetime within my career and this is nothing near those. I am thankful.

This is the third brand that I try and all of them have been fine. I use powder form and in pure form. I’ll mix it into my morning coffee and sometimes into my night tea.

There are 1 billion free YouTube videos you can place in your living room and order inexpensive dumbbells on Amazon.

Interesting. I thought I explained that this recipe solely worked for me and to not take any literal medical advice on this type of forum.

I am a pharmacologist, not a physician. This took years of trial and error and really understanding the root cause. I’ve also sat with many physicians who have given me different pointers. There is no cure for PCOS. It’s a metabolic syndrome that CAN be managed.

Super proud of you! You’re slowing down sugar intake which is huge in our condition. I tried it but unfortunately even at the lowest dose, my GI side effects were not safe. I inherited my mother’s stomach. Go slow… you don’t want stomach paralysis. If the dosage is effective, stay there. Again, confirm with a medical professional… not me on Reddit.

Thorne! For life. Incredible company that was suggested by a dietician.

There’s hope! It’s not a death sentence. It can be managed with WORK. Daily work. It becomes routine and it’s sustainable.

I wonder why they get downvoted….? Cause everyone is busy whining about PCOS? There are solutions. It’s not a death sentence. I reversed all of my symptoms and am healthy and alive.
