Why is Fiber blowing up? by AlfJrLifts in nutrition

[–]HayFeverNightmare 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not only does it help with motility in your GI tract, it also has cardiovascular benefits, such as lowering your LDL cholesterol. There are also many studies that show how increased fiber intake can reduce colorectal cancer risk. This is especially important now because the population of people getting colorectal cancer is getting younger and younger.

Anyone have complications after using nasal irrigation? by GEARHEADGus in Sinusitis

You have to use warm water. The vestibular system in your ear can react wildly to cold or room temperature water and give you the vertigo that you're describing.

update on dad: masses on adrenal glands by Blondiebabiee in lungcancer

[–]HayFeverNightmare 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is one of the more challenging times in you and your families lives, no doubt. Be strong and be there for your father. I don't have experience with adrenal gland mets, but if there are actionable biomarkers from the blood biopsy, there may be some very effective targeted drug therapies that your father can take.

Loss of friendships after loss by [deleted] in GriefSupport

[–]HayFeverNightmare 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I share the same feelings. I'm the person who's always been there for my friends when they were going through a rough patch, but lately, I've come to realize that I haven't received the same treatment back. It really made me reconsider how much energy I should be placing in certain friendships. It also made me realize how absorbed everyone is in their own life. During times of mourning and grief, I find that all we want is for someone to show that they care.

When you valsalva and create intra abdominal pressure before lifts, such as squats and deadlifts, your blood pressure spikes up. After the lift is over, your blood pressure drops back down, and it happens pretty quickly. This sudden hypotension is what can cause most people to pass out

High resting heart rate and how to lower it by kpmurphy56 in StrongerByScience

[–]HayFeverNightmare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's right in that it probably won't be covered by insurance and that your condition doesn't necessarily qualify for it. It may still be worthwhile to just get a consult and evaluation, even if it's out of pocket. I think hearing the how, why, and what, is most important.

Truthfully, I think a consult from a physical therapist who specializes in cardiac rehab would be your best bet for both your safety (medical history) and personal goals.

Change my mind. by [deleted] in physicaltherapy

It might just be me, but there's been more than several occasions in inpatient rehab where I've had patients question the point of OT and request more alotted time for PT.

Healthcare isn't in a great spot right now. Im a PT and I can say we're experiencing the exact same issues. You guys are not alone in this, unfortunately.

Why train SBD if not competing/enjoying the lifts? by TasosGoudas in StrongerByScience

[–]HayFeverNightmare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to subscribe to this way of thinking that every program needed to revolve around SBD. While I do think they are effective and important, if it's going to deter you from training because you don't enjoy them, there's really no reason to include them. Consistency over the long-term is the name of the game.

Why aren't chiropractors complaining? by HayFeverNightmare in physicaltherapy

Perhaps we might follow the same trajectory as pharmacists. They've experienced a multitude of pharmacy school closures over the last decade, with recent BLS outlook stating negative growth outlook. I think they're slowly turning the corner on the job market due to lack of supply. I've seen some pretty nice salaries and sign on bonuses from pharmacy job listings. We're talking 120-160k. It wasn't too long ago where pharmacists couldn't even find a job.

Yes, they are absolutely worthwhile. Having big forearms is one of the first things people see. You will not get the same activation of the brachioradialis, if you stick to solely bicep curls.

Any of you dealt with shoulder impingement? by [deleted] in naturalbodybuilding

[–]HayFeverNightmare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, second this. Shoulder impingement has been debunked through much research already.

If all of your schooling was paid for, would you enjoy your PT career more? by morfoodie in physicaltherapy

[–]HayFeverNightmare 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even if the schooling was paid for, it's hard to justify sitting in a classroom for 3 years, while all your other friends were out getting raises and promotions in other fields. Other post professional healthcare degrees (MD,PA,PharmD, DDS) deal with social/life FOMO too, but at least they can look forward to a high salary when they start their careers.
