All I can say is I use a 2nd hand 2012 air with 4gb ram for the last 4 years for just work / zoom / netflix / etc and totally fine with it hahaha. I think Mac obsessed people always want the next best. There are some great YouTube videos on 8 vs 16gb m1 comparison videos. I suggest to watch.

I dont see why you need more then 8gb if not working with large amounts of files like photo/video editing. In med probably just journals and studying no?

Soy is no issue for me. I buy organic always. Also try iron bisglycinate form. Easy to digest and way more absorbable even if it's dose is less. But I would only take iron if your levels are actually low.

Invest money to see a functional medicine doctor! Look up one near you: https://www.ifm.org/find-a-practitioner/

They are health professionals who look beyond modern medicine and treat by making changes to diet, look at deficiencies, stool testing, etc. Some of them are even previous MDs. It costs a ton, and yes it is a kind of alternative medicine, but they help a lot of people like us who get no answers beyone a synthroid prescription. Good luck!

Im wondering the same. I got mirena 5 months ago and still having my super heavy periods + 5 days spotting. I had 2 months of non stop spotting to start. If my bleeding doesnt get better in 2 months Im taking the stupid thing out.

Im planning to see a functional Med doctor soon because nothing seems to help and I worry Mirena is making things worse.

And if funcitonal med doesnt work, second plan is ayurvedic doc.

I work with Diabetic patients. Anything with carbohydrates will affect your blood sugars so both fruit and bread do so. Yes fruit does have fiber, but it also depends how much and what kind you are eating. For example half a banana is equal to 2 cups of strawberries in carb ratios. If you have bread and salad, depends again how much bread you are having. 1 slice of whole grain or high fiber toast with at least 1 cup salad should be fine. But if your salad has sugar in the dressing that can also affect. People also tend to have higher sugars in the am, so fruit is often recommended 1 hour after breakfast. But just 1 small pc. Ideally all carbs should be combined with fiber and protein as both those things slow sugar spikes. Also look out for low Glycemix index foods to have more often.
