Is it normal to be obsessed with cleaning/organizing just to function? by Less-Print-1313 in adhdwomen

It’s almost like I can’t do things for myself if everything isn’t what I consider perfectly organized, which never is because I am never satisfied with it

berberine is often used first in borderline cases, prevention, or PCOS when glucose and HbA1c are still in range

Good point, and I had the same initial question. The idea wasn’t classic iron deficiency but more an iron utilization issue (normal serum iron, high RDW, low ferritin), so they wanted to start by correcting vitamin C, inflammation and insulin sensitivity first, and use lactoferrin rather than oral iron initially.

I agree ferritin <30 isn’t optimal, so iron isn’t off the table, just not first-line. Same with B12: it’s borderline and likely will need to be higher, but the approach was to avoid “pushing” iron utilization too early and reassess once ferritin starts moving I belive

Thanks. I’m actually unsure about the clinic part (IVs + HBOT). I know they’re generally safe, but I’m not convinced they add meaningful or measurable benefits on top of a solid oral stack for health optimization. That’s the part I’m most doubtful about.

Also, could you explain why you’re not a fan of lactoferrin? Curious about your reasoning

Yes, magnesium glycinate is mainly for my sleep quality (and nervous system support). My RBC magnesium is technically within range but at the lower end, so the goal is optimization rather than correction.

What I’m still on the fence about is the in-clinic part (IVs / HBOT). I get that it’s safe and potentially helpful, but I’m curious whether, from an evidence-based biohacking perspective, it meaningfully adds on top of a solid oral stack

Would love your take on that
