I love Bevel but find the nutrition part of it cumbersome and lacking. I use Cronometer and have for quite some time now.
I am wondering if it is possible to take my daily record of nutrition from Cronometer and feed it to Bevel AI as a way to “track” my food in Bevel without entering it directly into Bevel or having Bevel just guess off of Apple Health?
An excellent article by a Palestinian - from a clinical and ethical perspective this recruitment of psychology in Israel to reframe the fallout soldiers feel from participating in war crimes and genocide is really insidious, maddening, and disturbing. When a society launders and DARVOs its actions and constantly reframes the aggressors and the victims, in this case using the imprimatur of clinical terms and treatment, it only entrenches that society's warped understanding of its own choices and narrative further.
Excellent review of Molly Crabapple’s new book on the Bund.
Hi I am wondering if those of you who were already on HRT for menopause symptoms notice any increase in those symptoms once you started losing weight on a GLP-1. I am asking because it is known that as we age, our bodies use fat to provide us with the decreased amount of estrogen we have. As I started to lose significant weight on Zep, despite all the great benefits to my health, I began getting UTIs pretty frequently, which is unusual for me. I am currently on .075 mg estradiol patch, 100 mg progesterone, and I also use topical estradiol vaginally. I was using the vaginal cream twice a week but after some Googling I asked my gynecologist if I could use it every other day instead, which she said was fine and it seems to be helping. I also started taking a cranberry and D-mannose supplement which some people on the r/menopause subreddit recommended and that seems helpful too.
I am waiting to see a urologist for this, so hopefully will have some more answers soon, but I have wondered if there is something going on in terms of my possibly needing to increase the estrogen dosage that is part of my HRT, to help to compensate for having less circulating in my body due to fat loss. I have asked my PCP about this and also my gynecologist and it seems like they are not very up on how GLP-1s and/or significant fat loss can affect HRT, which is frustrating but not all that surprising. I appreciate any input and experience anyone can share if applicable.
