Panic attacks and dissociative symptoms
People who get panic attacks and/or dissociative symptoms: what works for you? I've been trying to get a protocol going that can get rid of these issues for good.

Exercise Intolerance
I'm sure this will be a controversial topic. Does anyone else have it? I've suspected for years that I have it and recent events have stoked my suspicions even more.

The founders of Honest Tea started a new company, Just Ice Tea, that is…

One of my friends died yesterday of cardiac arrest caused by obesity. He had existing health issues related to obesity, so while it is shocking, it was not entirely unexpected. I had worried about him for years prior to this. His life was shortened by 20 to 30 years. It just makes me really angry to see how obesity is…

What macros percentages do you use, and why?
I'm trying to decide what macros percentages I want to use. My goals are to eat better to manage PCOS (less refined sugar and refined carbs). I'm not sure what to choose since there's a lot of confusing information online about the relative health of various macro breakdowns and whether they lead to various diseases or…
