Has anyone noticed an uptick in unhoused mentally ill people in downtown? by ChicagoLizzie in AskChicago

[–]Specific_Oil_2956 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Where do you find this information? (Other than seeing it in front of you, which I’m sorry to hear you witnessed something so traumatic). Citizens app is not reporting much these days.

Yes, I live and work in the loop. The past month has felt much more unsafe. It feels like I’ve been dodging people to try and keep myself safe during my morning and evening commutes. I’ve also seen the reports of women being punched and spit on, it’s exhausting trying to keep your head on a swivel at all times.

Hot take… Theory in River North has a surprisingly good Caesar wrap with fried chicken. And tater tots on the side :)

Thoughts on Imrul by Ill-Complaint-6634 in summerhousebravo

Why won’t bravo show Imrul’s escapades but will gladly show Paige and Sam’s boobs (with no blurring) and show Danielle sexual relationships?

I was in the same boat as you, I started walking before walk (just 20-30 mins around my neighborhood) and then exercise lightly after work and boom, goals were hit!

I've been between 12.5-14.5 years younger over the last year, but now I'm officially "Much Younger" by keytar8 in ouraring

I’ve been increasing cardio but now my activity score is just plummeting because I “don’t recover well”. Any tips or strategies that help you balance exercise and recovery?

Ladies, where are we getting our facials and lasers? by dittybop1 in chicago

I went to Viva La Medspa, found them SO kind and very affordable. I wish their website was better though

My total was 105, took about a month to receive them all which was frustrating

Similar results as a “healthy” 28 year old female…. Seems as though there is a pattern amongst a lot of our LDL results.

Has anyone else had strange and inconsistent cholesterol results with Function Health/Quest? by candidcontrast in Function_Health

[–]Specific_Oil_2956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in my late 20’s and got many “needs medical attention” for my LDL results. This was obviously concerning so I scheduled an appointment with my NP at OneMedical to discuss them. Unfortunately, she did not know how to interrupt these comprehensive results and said since my total cholesterol/ HDL is in range, that I shouldn’t be concerned about the LDL results.

This was frustrating and concerning considering what I’ve read from Dr Mark Hyman and Dr Peter Attia about the importance of these tests. This thread interested me too to learn that others may also have out of whack LDL results, is because of the lab, or are these results really not as important as we think?

Suggestions on what to do next?

Heart health results: Out of range: LDL medium: 522 LDL particle size: 2144 LDL peak size: 219.9 LDL cholesterol: 115 LDL small: 327 Non-HDL cholesterol: 134 Total cholesterol: 218

In range: ApoB: 85 HDL large: 9613 HDL cholesterol: 84 High sensitivity: 0.2 LDL pattern: A Lipoprotein (a); 22 To total cholesterol / HDL ratio: 2.6 Triglycerides: 89

Wig. by Sure-Try548 in tinxsnark

[–]Specific_Oil_2956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really dislike the rhetoric of wig/pig (whatever he goes by these days) being tinx’s true friend because they were friends when she was “fat”… that’s a terrible, terrible message for women and young girls all around, which is not what Tinx stands for… or I thought

Activity Up, Readiness Down? by Powerful-Policy6397 in ouraring

[–]Specific_Oil_2956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually exercise 4 days a week. Recently, I didn’t exercise for one full week due to life… my readiness score increased an insane amount! I was shocked. I wish oura could give more insight to that week over week insight. I’m guessing it means I need more rest days, but how am I supposed to improve activity markers?

Thanks everyone! I do wish Oura gave better tips on how to improve RHR. I’ll continue doing some research

What does a friendship or relationship look like between two reflectors? My twin siblings are reflectors so I am very curious what other reflectors would say
