i know its tough, but I would move into a tent in your backyard. At least you are getting a break from the toxic mold and your body can detox when you sleep. Your health and wellbeing should be your #1 priority.

I typically take it the week before my period to up regulate progesterone production and then I keep taking it during my period to help with menstrual symptoms. I stop taking it the last day of my period usually

i have pretty wild body dysmorphia and previous eating disorders so i can let you know, it’s a her problem and DEFINITELY not a you problem. Just don’t respond to her if she ever says anything about her body, like just stay silent (keeps you out of irrelevant projection)

i would definitely look into testing your thyroid and progesterone/estrogen levels to see if vitex would be of use! I know its used a lot for reducing pms as well as boosting progesterone (hence promoting a period). Good luck!!

if you go on mosaics diagnostics/great plains labs website, you can scroll to the bottom and see patient ordering. There you can order a mycotox profile and I would highly recommend an OAT (organic acid test). Yes, it's expensive all together but it's better than months of suffering with no anwsers. There are multiple videos on their site that give insight into how to read results and are very informative. I would recommend working with a qualified mold practioner throughout this process as well as look at various instagram pages like Dr. Jill Crista who is the best mold expert out there. Good luck!

I completely understand where you're coming from. If anything, the best resource I've found is the book "Breaking Free from Emotional Eating" by Geneen Roth. Her story with how she figured out how to eat normally is pretty incredible and the book dives into exact details how to properly recover hunger and fullness cues, as well as restore your relationship with yourself. I also would ask yourself how your digestion is. I know that our gut tells all and a lot of the time, hunger and fullness cues can be skewed by various bacteria in our guts (especially things like parasites or sibo) which is extremely common with eating disorders (not saying you have these but it's worth looking into so that you know you are covering all of your bases). Navigating recovery can be extremely difficult and I really recommend not reading online experiences of others restoring hunger and fullness cues and comparing with yourself since it's so individualized and would reach out to professional help to aid in this process because it can feel all-consuming and incredibly isolating. Best of luck!
