that's why I quit taking it a long time ago! I read what it could do to your brain and I said nope! I've had 6 neck surgeries with 2 plates and screws and 4 upper back surgeries with a rod. I've learned to mind over matter it, I'd rather deal with pain than lose my mind!

How Long Until I Feel Like Myself Again?

I wait too long to eat—again. My hands start to shake, vision goes fuzzy at the edges. I tell myself it’s just hunger, but it feels like punishment for not being better at this. I finally eat something. I count the minutes, waiting for the trembling to stop, for my head to clear. Sometimes it’s twenty minutes, sometimes it’s an hour. I never know if it’s the food or just relief that calms me down. I wonder if other people feel this way, or if their bodies forgive them faster. I wish I could trust mine to bounce back, instead of keeping score every time I mess up. #FoodGuilt #BodyCheckChronicles #NotJustAboutTheScale #Health #Diet

Your Aging Brain Needs This Nutrient🧠💪

Tired of brain fog, fatigue, or weak muscles after 60? 🧠💪 It might not just be “aging”—your brain could be low on creatine. Surprised? Most think it’s just for gym gains, but your frontal lobe (planning, focus) NEEDS it more as you age! Key signs: - Fuzzy thinking or forgetfulness - Slower coordination (clumsy spills?) - Sudden disinterest in favorite music Fix it: 1️⃣ Take 5g/day of pure creatine (8+ weeks) – older brains absorb less! 2️⃣ Eat clean (think ancestral diets: quality meats, veggies). 3️⃣ Move WITH others (group walks, classes) to stay motivated. Our ancestors thrived by eating more meat (creatine!) as they aged. Your turn! 🌟 #Aging #BrainHealth #Creatine #AgingWell #BrainFog

My girlfriend keeps kidnapping me to pay her bills because she's injured💥

Last night, I lost it. Since my girlfriend’s accident, I’ve been doing everything—doctor visits, therapy, bills. She used to model and travel, now she’s stuck at home, and I’m stuck paying for everything. But when I found out she secretly used our joint savings to buy luxury skincare, I exploded. She says it’s for her self-esteem, but I can’t help feeling betrayed. I’m working overtime, cutting back on my own needs, and she’s spending like nothing’s changed. Am I being heartless? Or is she ignoring our new reality? How do couples even survive this kind of financial mess? Please, I need advice before I lose my mind. 😤💸 #RelationshipDrama #MoneyMatters #LifeAfterAccident #RomanticRelationships

I found my own cancer when doctors couldn't

When relentless rib pain had me yelping with every movement, I refused to accept the "negative" CT report. As a physical rehab professional, I requested my actual images and found what doctors missed: a black hole in my 8th rib, hidden in just 156 of 1300 images. Trust your body when something feels wrong. I had to fight the system and threaten regulatory action to get the bone scan that confirmed what I already knew—malignancy. After surgery to remove the rib and part of my chest wall, I'm currently NED (No Evidence of Disease). #HealthJourney #PatientAdvocate #TrustYourInstincts

My Weird Reflexology Trick for Weight Loss

Ever feel like your weight loss routine needs a little boost? I stumbled into reflexology after hitting a plateau, and it’s been a surprisingly fun add-on to my daily habits. 💡 Find a good reflexology chart (trust me, not all are equal) and locate the pressure points for your spleen, stomach, and pancreas on your feet. I spend about 5 minutes pressing these every night. ✅ Don’t forget your gall bladder point—just below the ball of your right foot. A few minutes here, and my digestion feels way smoother. 🔔 When I’m out and about, I use hand reflexology. Same points, just on my hands—super handy (pun intended) when shoes stay on. It’s not magic, but it helps me relax, sleep better, and stay motivated. Worth a try if you’re into experimenting! #ReflexologyTips #WeightLossJourney #WellnessHacks #Health #Wellness

Is Gunner Too Big? Baby Size Debate 👶

Maci Mugele’s TikTok of her 22lb, 2.5-foot-long baby Gunner has sparked a wild debate online. Some people are calling her out for “child abuse” over his size, while others say he’s just a healthy, chunky baby and totally adorable. Doctors say he’s fine, but the internet can’t agree—are people overreacting, or is there a real concern here? #Entertainment #TVSeries #BabyDebate

Almost poisoned myself foraging last week 😅

Fellow hunters, reality check time... Was on a 3-day hunt, ran low on food by day 2. Went to grab some berries for emergency rations and almost picked the wrong ones - waxy leaves saved me from a toxic mistake. Made me realize my foraging safety knowledge got rusty. 🍄 Golden rule: If you can't 100% ID it, don't eat it. Those "similar looking" mushrooms? They're not worth the ER visit when you're miles from help. 🌿 Red flags: Milky sap, umbrella flowers, waxy leaves = nope. Your gut feeling is usually right. 🏭 Location matters: Stay away from roadsides and industrial areas. Plants are like sponges for all that nasty stuff. Anyone else combining summer scouting with foraging? #hunting #foragingtips #huntingseasonprep #wildedibles

Mulch Volcanoes Are Tree Killers?!

Did you know piling mulch up against a tree (aka a 'mulch volcano') can actually kill it? Someone posted a pic of a tree in their park with a huge mound of mulch at its base, and certified arborists jumped in to warn: that’s way worse than bad trimming. Too much mulch suffocates roots, invites disease, and attracts pests. The right way? Keep mulch 2-3 inches deep, away from the trunk, and spread out to the drip line. Who knew tree care could be this dramatic? #Science #GardeningFails #TreeCare
