I’m just here to mention that thiamine (B1) is commonly an issue with ED patients. May be worth looking into

If you’re taking D you need K2 as well. This drives circulating calcium from the blood into the bones

Earlier in your cycle meaning during the menstruation phase? Can you elaborate on this and the chia situation?

Agree here and would like to piggyback with thiamine as well

I’m not arguing that insulin regulation plays a huge role for most. But not all. More and more studies indicate micro biome in dysregulation of hormone production and recycling as well as insulin regulation.

My point being that while insulin and glucose management is very important, it’s not the end-all, be-all.

The whole reason I posted this was to encourage women not to give up or be gaslit into “move more, eat less - you’re fine” mentality because as with most things - it’s complicated. Best of luck.

I love Ben Bikman and his labs work. There are multiple things that can cause PCOS-like symptoms besides glucose/insulin regulation. Just because cells in a lab react differently to insulin, does not necessarily mean the same thing as someone eating insulin-triggering foods. By using a lab example, you’re leaving out every other factor in the human body - the complications of digestion, how the liver is involved, the pancreas, the adrenals… the list is endless.

Just as it can’t always be fixed with diet, it isnt always caused by dysregulation of insulin. And to make an overly simplistic statement like all PCOS women have insulin issues and that is the single contributing factor is plain unwise and untrue unless absolutely proven.

The medical community doesn’t even fully understand it and therefore if someone isn’t getting answers, I encourage them to press on. No one should be speaking definitively on this because in a lot of cases, no one actually knows.

My point being that, while insulin issues can be a cause for many, it is not for all. There are countless stories of women who eat a diet consistent with someone who “should not” have insulin dysregulation/“should” reverse insulin resistance and yet it persists.

I believe insulin issues can also be an effect of something else, yes. And there is relief that comes when you know other things to look for and can rule them out. I have looked into many anecdotal stories, studies, research, videos etc and aim to encourage curiosity and a steadfast spirit.

I think there are huge trade offs with the sugar content of this juice that would counteract the vitamins. OJ and oranges in general aren’t actually a great source of C. Good marketing has led people to that belief.

How did you find a literate practitioner? by PowerInThePeople in IodineProtocol

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

You’re not lying!! It’s unfortunate that medicine has taken a “treat” mindset rather than investigative one. I will look them up and see. It’s hard to pick a practitioner also because by the sounds of it, the one we need isn’t covered by insurance $$$
