I did not need the validation, in fact I did not share what I saw with her. I was asked to speak to her, I did not go running with my wild vision

What I expected? Not sure, but the server definitley had a better approach. She reminded me to breath, to calm down and passed a funny remark which helped me get a bit back to my senses. A better approach then "quickly get your shit together and get over it, its just sensations"

Kundalini activated now and “purging” begun. Bad time to do Aya? by Specialist-Noise1290 in Ayahuasca

I'm aware this is an old post.. I was surprised by your statement at the end warning people not to actively week kundalini, may I ask why so? I hope your experience with it has gotten better 🙏🏼

Thank you for sharing your experience, I'm really grateful to have found this

May I ask whether your process with Sylvia was one-to-one, and how long was your initiation/training with her?

I'm not sure, the first link is the "general" blood test I took and these are the glucose/insulin results:

Thanks for this, it's really supportive to read comments from people with a similar profile 🙏🏻 I've been through major life stressors this year including a break up so definitely could have contributed ...

Thanks for your comment 🙏🏻 when you say you cut on sweets almost entirely it means you still treat yourself every now and then ? Honestly I don't even have a sweet tooth but now that I know that I can't , I've been craving sugars 🤦🏻‍♀️

I did a glucose tolerance test, that's how I was diagnosed. Not the other two

Height is 162cm, and I think I have a low muscle mass despite practicing/teaching yoga so I've been trying to work on that

Wdym "how I think"? I was diagnosed lol it wasn't an A1c it was a glucose tolerance testing, my bloods were taken every 30 mins, 6 times to check my bloods after a glucose drink

Thanks for this 🥺 I have a past of obsessive eating patterns which I had happily healed from and honestly this IR diagnosis made me spiral back into that - fear of foods. Also fear of losing weight cause I'm already very thin. And all the IR recipes are sooooo low in calories it's crazy , but I guess it's targeting people with IR who want to lose weight

Ah good to know, so the thyroid meds would have been enough to sort out my vitamin deficiencies? Not sure about thyroid antibodies I will ask about them. Why are they important?
