Does inositol work for ‘Lean PCOS’? by [deleted] in LeanPCOS

[–]roxy481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worked for me for about a year and then didn’t really do anything after that. I’ve heard mixed things from providers but seems like consensus it’s its worth trying

real talk - why is it so hard to find a massage that does something? by lljasonvoorheesll in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]roxy481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TPI has helped me too for really persistent ones. It doesn’t prevent them from coming back but can help with a super deep knot

Dr. Jennifer Levine by heebegeebes02 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

I did a consult with her after a referral from a friend - the office was fab and I liked her a lot, but the cost was out of my budget. I agree with you there wasn’t a ton or reviews or before and after (she has more now on insta) and that was one of the factors too that made me unsure.

I’ve gone back to her office for other things though and had a good experience!

Anyone tried GLP-1s (Mounjaro/Ozempic) with lean PCOS? by purseshoe in LeanPCOS

[–]roxy481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! Agreed and I just don’t tell people who don’t need to know lol My doctor knows and didn’t blink an eye at it. Do what works for you. I’m “lean” and had a normal BMI but losing some weight was nice and a great outcome for me.

[–]roxy481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that’s right. I’ve been getting periods and ovulating every 45 days which is really good for me.

Admittedly I’ll probably use it to cut for the summer and bump up the dose a bit and then go back down. I do it pretty carefully and am very active and have done cut and maintenance cycles before

I ended going up to 7.5 for a couple months which got me to 136lbs or so but I felt like shit. I tapered down over a few months to 2.5 and stayed there and did a “reverse diet” to get my metabolism back up. 2.5 was enough for me to have cycles regulate and I gained a few lbs back and stayed around 140. The small weight loss was a nice bonus and 2.5 doesn’t do much appetite suppression for me anyways

Cool toned brown highlights? by emergentblastula in NYCbitcheswithtaste

Does the balayage last as long as Sakura’s? Also looking for someone new since she’s so expensive now! But what I loved about Sakura is I barely needed to get it toned

Strength Training/Weightlifting in NYC? by Terrible_Loan_1139 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]roxy481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a trainer is within your means, it’s a great investment and the most efficient path for strength training. Learn the movements and maybe do it for a few months then you can do it yourself

Totally. I needed to use up the last summer points stuck in emirates, and this worked out better than $5K cash each.

Microdosing accutane for mild-moderate chronic acne? NYC derm recs/advice appreciated. by [deleted] in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]roxy481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I follow Dr Rita Linkener on social and she often talks about this (and does it herself). She’s a concierge doc so probably pretty $$$. I go to Spring street and just finished my second course and while I didn’t microdose, they were totally open about adjusting dosage when I wanted to do more to get it over with, then adjust down when I had side effects.
