Slow Metabolism After 30 ? What Science Really Says?
People often say your metabolism drops once you hit 30, but research shows it actually stays pretty stable until around age 60.

Deducting the Hair Extensions weight gain! 💇
Doh! Wow, how insane is this? I was so close to my weight loss goal. I ate a big meal the night before so I chose not to weigh in the next morning, Saturday.

From Diagnosis to Balance: My Health Journey in 2025
This year started with a shock. In January, I had bloodwork done for the first time in a while, and the results floored me: an A1C of 8.7%.
