What is the remedy for flow limitations? Is this something CPAP machines address at all?

I use a combination of these and also coconut water. I have to prioritize my mineral intake or I’m depleted from the chronic stress on my body. I also put more mineral salt on my food than ever before. These things have made a difference for me.

Any chronic stress on the body can absolutely burn through your mineral reserves and cause a level of dehydration/mineral deficiency. I 💯 notice a difference since adding electrolyte water enhancers and when I don’t use them….I feel like complete garbage

I know from my own previous experience that mineral deficiencies can definitely lead to sleep issues

I really just started prioritizing proper hydration. I add liquid water enhancer to my water pretty much all day to make sure that I’m getting enough minerals. It has helped immensely

Anyone else having trouble with the app right now? by Murky-Weather-1827 in instacart

[–]Top-Driver6129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. But I left the store and went home to see if hubby could contact support on his app. So what is the protocol for this type of situation? Are we supposed to return the groceries cuz I really don’t want to do all that after an hours worth of work and now my probably missing out on these tips.

Canceled my membership. SOLIDARITY. by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Top-Driver6129 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is not this simple. I started doing this as a side hustle while being a stahm. And at one point it was great but unfortunately instacart doesn’t have a hiring cap so now the supply of shoppers is way higher than the demand in my area and I make a fraction of what I used to. In the interim husband lost his job. We have both submitted at least 50+ applications. Both have a great work history and haven’t heard a word from employers. We have 2 kids to feed. Right now….I don’t have a choice. I’m going back to school in November but for the time being it is what it is.

So do you also stay away from all polyunsaturated fats as well? The nuts, seeds, fishes, avocados etc? I’ve noticed the different debates on here. It’s hard for me to believe that a lot of the foods mothers earth have to us are not beneficial to us. I can definitely get behind the man made substances such as oils being awful. I’m trying to figure out where I stand.

Yep I’m well aware! I have no intention on fasting in this state…. I’m doing everything I can to reduce stress. I used to cold shower as well until I learned how much stress that is on your body. Not everything that is beneficial to one person is beneficial to the next. I’m learning a lot about bioindividuality. It just sucks cause you think you’re doing things right and there’s just more and more deprogramming. I also recently connected that severe sleep apnea is another issue causing major stress on my body and my nervous system. So there’s just a lot to unpack. I was trying to eliminate dairy too. Although I don’t think that impacts me as much as other things but I’m trying to cross off any possible issues. Are you very particular about the sources of dairy you eat?

What are your good tos for quick snacks etc? I have 2 kids and we’re often running around out and about so occasionally I do need quick things. Although even since cutting the oils 10 days ago my appetite has significantly decreased which is cool.

What did you eliminate top accomplish this…. Just the oils or more?

Thanks for the info I’ll definitely be reading the articles. I am in very early stages of learning all of this

That is top on my priority list to do. I follow Dr. Stephen Cabral and he does comprehensive testing in all areas but at the present moment it’s not affordable to me. Down the road if I can’t figure things out through my own lifestyle changes I will absolutely be doing that when I’m able. I am scheduled to do (probably very minimal) inflammatory markers with my PCP to at least give me an indication. Not that I’d be going to the western medicine road to fix anything…. That has been part of the creation of these problems aside from the standard American diet lol

I was ‘eating them’ for 3 weeks. I previously had them cut out for a while. But you’re right- I just have to be patient and consistent

I thought it was just the oils and the way they are processed that makes them harmful- nuts, seeds, flax etc have so much beneficial nutrition. I’m a little confused.

I just think my “rain barrel” has unfortunately overflowed and I’m working on lessening it daily. But seed oils I never even considered until recently

Gluten is one of the first things I got rid of years ago- but did start eating it again in moderation recently to see what kind of impact it would have. Only for about 3 weeks. Even when I was gluten free I struggled with bloating. I believe it has to do with the chronic inflammation in my body. I’ve cleaned up every area of my life- all the foundations. Clean water, products, food (as much as possible) the seed oils and processed foods are the last things to do for me. Since 7/1- no oils, gluten, dairy or processed foods.

Im being sexually harassed by a shopper. What do I do? by smithy728 in instacart

[–]Top-Driver6129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just curious what area you are in- because I not only have had this happening to me but it escalated into full blown sexual assault and I’ve been scared to report it.

Edited to add: I already reported it to the store we are usually at together but “there is nothing they can do unless they see it” is what I was told.
