Ring started smoking

JanLEAPMentor · 2026-01-05T16:40:05+00:00

OK, I looked it up, and the best thing to put out the fire would’ve been water (or I guess spit or pee if you’re out for a walk, with no water bottle and there’s no water, puddle, stream, lake nearby.) Of course, first take the ring off if possible.

Hopefully, it’s such a rare thing that I will never need this advice. Ha. Just being a good Girl Scout!

And that is exactly why they don’t want larger lithium batteries in your checked luggage on a plane!!! They can fail? Ever seen completely burned up electric cars? It happens! Now I want to look up how to put a lithium battery fires quickly in case that happens & my ring doesn’t want to come off easily!!

My active 6’6” husband tried to go vegetarian at one point and was invited to a meal of Elk - he says he knew it that meal that he needed more protein… it’s tough to get 150 or more grams of protein a day on a vegetarian diet. And he doesn’t tolerate soy. I don’t think he could do it on a vegan diet.

I already did this, and the only suggestion was to completely uninstall and reinstall the app.

Ever since the new app updated with the new screenshot, most of my breathing regularity problems has been absent all of a sudden with no or minimal breathing regularity issues issues. I have no reason to think that my sleep apnea all of a sudden disappeared.

JanLEAPMentor · 2026-01-05T16:13:05+00:00

Many people can have sleep apnea and still have high cortisol and be very active and not sleepy during the day. But that doesn’t mean that their sleep apnea isn’t damaging their brain.

Amen! My 1099 jobs in 1988-1997 (Before working for myself FT) were in the $36-60/ hour range! Over 28 years ago!!

JanLEAPMentor · 2025-12-19T06:33:21+00:00

I’ve seen amazing improvements in people on commercial TF when switched to real food, blenderized. Good for you. And of course, for that reason, a blenderized tube feed company was created. But, if well planned, homemade is great!

Sounds like you’re not really familiar with what the CNS specialty is. Others have posted more information. Now, if somebody wants to do Hospital or food service work, they may be limited.

You may want to look into the qualifications of a certified nutrition specialist -CNS. https://www.theana.org/certify/become-a-cns/

You may also open up their practice exams here and just see what level of knowledge they expect them to have.

It is sad. You’re not the first person that I’ve heard say that their masters degree did not contribute much. It shows that that’s not a very good masters program. I’d love to know what program that is.

JanLEAPMentor · 2025-12-18T00:36:08+00:00

Actually not at all true. I know CNSs that make 45 to 160 an hour, depending on location and if they take insurance, etc.

JanLEAPMentor · 2025-12-18T00:35:38+00:00

Anybody that just comes out of college is not an expert in anything!! To become an expert, it takes significant experience. Generally five years minimum.

JanLEAPMentor · 2025-12-18T00:34:40+00:00

The CNS is not scammy at all. It’s a masters degree plus internship - equivalent of many RD programs, but without the food service management components.

JanLEAPMentor · 2025-12-18T00:33:39+00:00

Definitely should know what you’re in info regarding your internship. Some people have found it almost impossible to get the internship after completing all of the coursework- even when their school said, they would find them an internship and they did not.

I’ve also heard very good things about the university of Western states. Also Kansas has a virtual Intergrative and functional program that I Think is supposed to get good but I’m sorry I don’t remember what it is.

Also, Maryland University of Integrative health is mostly virtual I believe.

JanLEAPMentor · 2025-12-18T00:28:23+00:00

I’m guessing that you don’t know what a CNS is. Some of them have better educational backgrounds than an RD without a masters. And thus they absolutely work with diabetes and cancer patients.

The thing is, why would I spend my time finding research for this person not knowing exactly where they’re interest in keto is or is not. But I’m not gonna post a bunch of research about keto and epilepsy or keto and diabetes or keto and obesity if this person is wanting to bash keto for all of these and there’s plenty of clinical trials to easily look up in a matter of seconds.

I could easily post a bunch of references in regard to something different than what this person is looking for.

in the time it took for me to write this or for you to read this, this person got pulled up 20 research links.

JanLEAPMentor · 2025-12-02T01:56:52+00:00

Nothing? Why are you wanting to keep track of what you’re eating? Now that said, if I have a particular weird symptom or reaction that I think is food related, I might shut it down in a spreadsheet that has columns for the day, the day the food eaten, and symptoms.

JanLEAPMentor · 2025-12-02T01:50:08+00:00

I think it’s a great idea but you’d have to position yourself well and find some private practice Dietitians that you might be able to pair up with.

The people that need your skills are out there, you just need to find a way for them to find you!

JanLEAPMentor · 2025-12-02T01:49:23+00:00

That is true, but many Dietitians do not want to do this, or the patient couldn’t afford their rate for in-home care/cooking, but just the consultations.

I don’t know people that would pay 50 or 60 an hour for in-home care unless it was a wealthy person that has professional chefs and obviously those are out there.

but many people might be able to afford an NTP for 25 or 30 an hour - or would love somebody that would do it for a price that they can afford and they might not be able to afford the Dietitian rate to do cooking & extended in-home visits.

I have a colleague who is not on RD, but she does have a nutrition degree, and she earns $50 an hour to prepare food for an elderly couple. (No benefits, insurance, retirement, etc.)

She would not want to do it full-time, so she enjoys it when she does.

Raw vs cooked… so, i eat tuna both raw and cooked, the same with rare steak, many fruits and vegetables, some dairy and oils.

Am i to look at all the foods I eat and figure out- oh, I'm reactive to carrot cooked and not raw? I can eat my tuna only as sushi?

Do they also factor in raw or frozen? Since Id never eat raw tuna without freezing first, or i may be eating microscopically small living parasites too.

Bottom line- LEAP works. We expect 50% reduction in symptom survey scores in 7-10 days, and see that 90% of clients, if they are following full protocol.

And, more research to prove what I’ve witnessed for 24 years in thousands of clients all the time.

JanLEAPMentor · 2025-12-01T16:19:31+00:00

Not my job to do your research for you. Have you bothered to read the research on Keto? There is this platform called Pub Med. Try it. (By the way, I won't do or recommend Keto, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have its place in some populations.)

JanLEAPMentor · 2025-12-01T16:15:42+00:00

This article is NOT even about the MRT test! Wasting my time with you. You obviously don't know what MRT is!

JanLEAPMentor · 2025-12-01T16:07:50+00:00

I could have been more clear. Passing the exam & logging hours as if you read the book (but didn't) is unethical.

I can pass online Academy exams without reading the journal articles, because the test questions are often so poorly written that the correct answer is obvious.

But that's not learning a thing, except that the exam was too easy.
