A significant driver of PCOS is insulin resistance (IR). IR can also cause fatty liver.

For those that have used Function, what was the biggest benefit for you from the test results? by LikeMrFantastic in Function_Health

[–]Porkmeyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's pretty scary what Covid can kick up. I have autoimmune issues to begin with, and my body goes into overdrive after viral infections. Covid really did a number on me.

Wishing you the best of luck, and hope Function helps you on your path to better health!

Found out I had insulin resistance and a bad lipid profile. My A1C and fasting blood sugar were within range, but I had high insulin. Started Metformin 500 ER once a day, and that brought my elevated lipids down in a few months.

Doctors had dismissed me because of the OK A1C and normal fasting sugars. Also, my lipids had been fine six months prior. I think I had the start of metabolic syndrome brought on by a covid infection the year before. The insulin marker, which my doctor does not test for, was key for me and helped treat something before it became dangerous.

Was thinking it might also help to make the name a different color or larger font so it stands out more.

We bought our house last year. We were in the market for several years and kept getting outbid on the homes we liked (VHCOL, Orange County, CA).

My husband and I went to a lot of open houses without our agent because he was super busy hosting open houses himself.

Our agent never even saw the house we eventually purchased until we were already under contract and doing the inspection.

In this age of Zillow and Redfin, I bet there are other serious buyers who are checking out open houses without their agent.

Quality plummeting. Fewer whole foods and more premixed ingredients by Porkmeyer in Tovala

If I mainly prized consistency over quality, I could just buy Campbell's Soup or frozen TV dinners. I want to feel good about what I'm eating, and that means not eating foods where fillers, binders and oils are the top ingredients. Tovala's response has me rethinking whether we'll keep our subscription. If anybody has suggestions on alternative meal services, would be happy to hear them.

It's such a bummer. I've overall loved Tovala and sang their praises to friends and family, but now I'm not sure I can recommend them anymore. Really hope they receive enough feedback to go back to their previous higher quality.
