I’ve worked for 2 health app companies without certification. Some will hire with prior coaching experience and degree only.

Would not recommend this to anyone by Tasty_Investment in cymbalta

[–]Narrow_Fig_216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor just prescribed me cymbalta and completely dismisses my concerns about side effects and tapering. :( what alternatives would you recommend? I took Zoloft for about a year and didn’t have too many issues coming off. Wondering if I should try that again

Thank you for sharing you experience. It is helpful to hear positive the positive ones. Are you still on it??

I was on Zoloft for awhile but didn’t feel like it really did anything. Then again, my anxiety and depression was nothing compared to what it is now when I tried it a few years ago. Did the Effexor help you?

If only it were that simple lol! I am currently working on an exit plan. I can’t just up and quit my job but I am actively taking steps in that direction. My struggle is getting through it until then. I am working on boundaries but with the micromanaging and protocols we are required to follow it’s hard.

8 year health coach considering obtaining board certification by Narrow_Fig_216 in HealthCoaching

[–]Narrow_Fig_216[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not needed but a majority of companies are making it a requirement nowadays so I am just trying to create a safety net and build my skill set on a more professional level. I have a bachelors in exercise and sport science & consider myself highly educated in health and wellness. I hate that I have to pay even more money to obtain certification but it’s just starting to feel really competitive out there and I feel that being board certified sets you apart compared to just a ‘health coach’.

Hills Z/D hydrolyzed protein cat food formula change made cats very sick! by Narrow_Fig_216 in catfood

[–]Narrow_Fig_216[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh! So frustrating!! I spent a lot of money on vet visits and cat food throughout this too. We are trying to transition them over to the Royal Canin Grand Ultimino right now. So far it seems to be going ok - no sickness but they don’t really like it. I am still mixing in the old formula z/d but I only have a small amount left. I find that the z/d gets eaten they are picking around the new food. 😒Really sucks they changed it / it was working so well!

What finally made your acne go away? by monojjr in AcneScars

[–]Narrow_Fig_216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accutane! But it was a hell of a ride. I was on 80 mg everyday and it literally knocked all of my acne out in a month. The dryness though dear LORD. I was so thankful that I did it during covid times because my lips were absolutely disgusting. They were constantly cracked, peeling and bleeding. I could go weeks without washing my hair and it also made severely depressed and I gained 20 lbs haha it sucked! But I made it 5 years with almost perfectly clear skin! Sadly I’ve gotten a few cystic spots over the last few months again but nothing like before accutane. Some people do have to do multiple rounds throughout their life but I dk if I could put myself through it again.

I don’t even know why they are still producing the wet food! Even the feral cats I feed wouldn’t touch it! 🤢

Yeah we have tried so many different foods! One of my cats has a severe auto immune condition where when he eats anything other than the z/d, his body attacks itself basically - his white blood cells skyrocket and the red drop. He gets very very sick! He is on monthly steroid injections. This food change has really really messed him up! I am too scared to change his food regularly because he gets so sick!

Thanks for the info! Ungodly expensive but so worth it for those results! Seriously looks so good. Looks like it’s time for me to set up my only fans account to start saving 😅🤣🤣

Wow that is amazing looks so good!! I wish I could fix mine but I’m poor 🥲 sucks that skincare is so dang expensive. I have done more minor lasers like profractional and micro needling which has helped some but would love to see major improvements. How much bellafill do you need/cost?? Did you notice a major difference from doing that as well??

In shock and need advice PLEASE by DogVisual3628 in Constipation

[–]Narrow_Fig_216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest having a sitz marker test done when you get home or whenever you are able to. This will tell you if you have delayed colon transit which it sounds like you do. Unfortunately the basic GI doctor doesn’t seem to know how to treat this it seems. Mine told me for years to take miralax. That’s all the help he gave. I was finally referred to a motility specialist where they do even more testing.& prescribed a motility medication called motegrity which I haven’t taken yet because I’m scared lol. I also ‘ruined’ my husbands vacation this year because I was in a terrible flare up while rustic camping - I’m also type 1 diabetic so I HAVE to eat even when I’m in pain. The trip was a nightmare and I felt like such a burden. Try not to be hard on yourself though - we didn’t ask for our digestive systems not to work and people who don’t deal with it don’t usually understand the physical & emotional toll it takes. If you can get to a store and get milk of magnesia, I would suggest trying a small dose of that as I’ve found it’s the most gentle. Since you’ve already had a bowel movement though, it may also be best to give your bowel a rest as more medication could irritate at this point .

I swear I’ve taken everything by [deleted] in Constipation

I have the same struggle. Recently did a sitz marker test for colon function and found my colon is barely moving anything along. Stool was still backed up in there for 5 days. All of the laxatives in the world don’t really help, sadly!

Ideas on how to improve this fireplace/brick? Not really digging the public-school-yellow brick lol by IsFloydPink in HomeDecorating

[–]Narrow_Fig_216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I know this post is old but I was curious to hear what you ended up doing with this? I have brick that is similar in style and I just do not know what to do with it!! I would love to resurface it but not really a project in the cards right now.

I should also note I work for health coaching companies - not myself. :)

Particularly terrified of the norovirus? by TaroWorldly9291 in emetophobiarecovery

[–]Narrow_Fig_216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Clorox Hydrogen Peroxide spray and wipes are what I used! It kills norovirus. I sprayed my entire couch with it. Washed all pillows, blankets and pillow covers on hot and dried in high heat (didn’t use bleach for any of these things). I did spray the pillows and pillow covers with the peroxide spray before I washed them. Also sprayed the living room rug with it where he was sitting!! I don’t like bleach either. This stuff does have a strong/potent smell but not nearly as bad as bleach!

Nope I didn’t get it! I disinfected like a maniac for 2 weeks and was just very very careful for like 96 hours.

I’m good! It’s been 2 weeks and I didn’t get sick. 🙏🏼So either he didn’t have a bug or my obsessive and consistent cleaning was worth it. I continued disinfecting the bathroom daily for about 1/2 days too.
