(Transcribed w/ Permission from @jessfromonline) Thread: Many people are now out on the streets for the first time. as such, let's talk very basic, everyone should know this, 'this should be general and not sensitive knowledge' protest, action, and street tactics. let's get organized and be effective!
Source: https://mobile.twitter.com/jessfromonline/status/1268620358950649858
(Note: I am not this person, this is a transcript of their twitter thread I made with their permission)
Have a protest buddy. do not go to a protest without a buddy. preferably have a crew. 
if you have a crew, it should still be split into buddies. crews should choose a spoke (spokesperson) who calls movements and communicates with people.
if you have a large crew, you should have a spoke + lieutenants/LTs/whatever you wanna call them. their job is disseminating calls but more importantly, to track the people grouped under them. when shit pops off, it's easy to lose people. LTs watch to see if anyone in their subgroup is missing, and spoke checks for the LTs. a system of accountability. STILL buddy up in subgroups. 
If you've got a good bloc on the ground, you can call 'spokes' to get a spokes council together and make larger decisions about what to do.
Your crew should have a basic, 1-syllable, generic word, that changes at every action, which you can call and each crew member replies with the word. feels dorky but worth it. arrange all this ahead of time. this allows you to quickly count your crew & check no one dropped.
You should have an offsite person, preferably two. Here is a guide for doing offsite.
designate 1-2 comms people. they have phones and retrieve info on cop movements from offsite via signal. on a vpn, burner phone if you can.
ideally no one besides comms should have a phone on them. easier to track. tradeoff: if you lose someone makes it harder to figure out what happened. consider battery-out phones for non-comms people. 
write a number for legal support hotline in your area on body in sharpie
Before a protest, work out with your crew what your risk levels are. you can have different levels but try to avoid buddying across levels. will you brawl with fash? cops? risk arrest? loot? burn? graffiti? dont make those decisions in the moment.
I have no easy advice for what happens if you lose someone. have comms immediately report to off-site who can try to track them down. if you're large you can send an lt+subgroup to look, but they may have just gotten out and left. they could be arrested or with medics. off-site can start checking jails and hospitals for them. see off-site guide for what info you need for this and how to collect. if you have better advice for when people drop unexpectedly, put it in the replies.
Never talk to cops never talk to cops never talk to cops never talk to cops. if you're arrested dont talk. if they approach you during dont talk. you can yell harassment but dont do it once you're arrested. you can sing if you want. group singing in jails keeps spirits up. (Singing is a super spreading activity for covid, pointed out at end of this thread).
If you can, know your local PD. some departments publish whitepapers on their tactics. talk to local protest veterans in your area to learn about what your city's cops do. every area is difference and this can make the different between success or failure.
Use all the gear you got. helmet, goggles, gloves, umbrella, etc. carry water if you can (ONLY ONLY WATER TO FLUSH EYES. ONLY.) you gotta stay hydrated too. generic clothes, packs, etc. if possible. more common the better. Don't carry too heavy but it's really worth it. helmets feel ridiculous? you'll regret not taking it when you take a round to the head.
Consider having handles for your crew. it's a lot better to yell someone's handle than their name when you need their attention. Handles should be short (1-2 syllables) and minimally linked to the person. practice using only a person's handle. let's move on to broader thinking (might jump back if i think of stuff)
Situational awareness. you can practice this all the time but it's v important during an action. What are your exits? have they changed? what are your numbers vs. their's? what's their posture? what's behind, in front, sides? what gear to they have? re-evaluate constantly. i'm going to say it again. exits exits exits. where can your crew go if it gets too hot. if you dont have a clear exit try to move as soon as possible.
Extending on that: police will often try to kettle, aka surround you and trap you in. keep the bloc moving to the cops' weakest side to avoid a kettle. don't be afraid to tell people what to do. they'll thank you if you avoid a kettle. move without em if you have to but dont isolate your crew too much or you're easy to pick off and arrest. Also, be careful: cops may take advantage of this to get you to slowly push farther and farther from your objectives. sometimes you gotta stand your ground. know your numbers and know your strategy. sometimes it's time to stay. a spokes-council might be able to decide. talk about this ahead of time.
Don't yell where the exit is with cops around, but do disseminate it in a crowd. your crew, minimum, must always know.
Keep your crew looking in all directions and regularly switching. dont get snuck up on.
Don't get picked off. cops will arrest 1 person quicker than 10, 50. non-covid times, the advice is to "tighten up!" the bloc, so they cant snatch and grab. YMMV during these times. evaluated based on the situation.
Banners rule for this. theyre not just propaganda. if you have a heavy banner (tarp, etc.) in the front, they can't as easily grab through and arrest. stay behind it if you can. 
Learn to communicate clearly and tersely under pressure. people underestimate this skill. you dont need 'please' or extra words.  Don't chatter. learn to give a 'sitrep' (situational report) in which you report all the info from 16. spokes, ask you LTs for sitreps. give them when new folks arrive.
Back to the individual: if you can't keep up, DON'T GO. hard lesson to learn. as a person with chronic digestive issues, i've fucked this up. if you're incapacitated you're a liability. consider learning to run offsite, or going to less intense actions. know what to expect based on recent police activity, level of risk planned for the action, the capabilities of your crew, etc. i know you might feel obligated to be in the streets but if your crew has to care or slow down for you instead of acting, that's hurting not helping. but try not to let this discourage you from trying if you can. unless you're sure with your health and/or fitness you can't, it is good to try. we need numbers. but dont push yourself when you cant. there's more to the work than the streets.
Dont share unconfirmed info. dont repeat info from people you dont trust. ive seen so many actions where someone thinks they see a cop and then everyone is yelling "cop" and freaked out and scattering and theres no cop. be careful. misinfo is worse than no info.
Some of this is gonna feel ridiculous and tryhard. being good at this takes trying hard. be vulnerable and push your crew to do this. you'll be safer and more effective because you do.
Eat well, plenty of protein rich food the day before. hydrate well day of. physical condition matters for this.
Sometimes you gotta pee. you can pee in an empty bottle, or you can pee on the ground. MANY people wear diapers. this isnt the time for shame. do what you need.
When you gotta do something like pee, change, sometimes even drink, if you're in bloc, you gotta hide. get to the center of the bloc if you can. call 'cover me' or 'flag' (if the crowd has flags) and they'll wrap you. kneel and do what you gotta do.
Some of this advice is for when you have a coherent bloc, but there's been less of those in this round of protests. still, keep it in mind.
If you're in bloc, consider bringing generic clothes to change into in a bag. gym clothes and local team sportwear are great. either do 28 and slip out somewhere under cover, or scatter and hide, and change in your hiding place. bring a bag to put your bag in.
How are you getting in and out? can you pay for public transit in cash (this still means being on cameras, keep your hat down)? can someone drive you in (drop off far, so they cant see plates)? lock up your bike somewhere?
This is counter-intuitive, but unless it's a covert action, where your goal is to get in and out without ever being noticed, keep your ID and a bit of cash in your pocket. ID will get you in and out of jail faster. again: NOT FOR COVERT ACTIONS. and dont drop it.
Try to know your success and failure conditions before your crew goes out. when is it no longer worth it and time to bail? what are you trying to accomplish and how do you know you're doing so? try to create criteria if you can
in large, multi-site protests like we're seeing rn, if all you're doing is occupying cops, you're helping a lot. standoffs mean they arent somewhere else. looting they HAVE to respond to because property > people for cops. small groups can make big differences here.
Share your sitreps with other spokes if you can. if you notice a kettle, tell everybody and try to move everyone. have some chutzpah: you can do it.
DON'T LEAD PEOPLE INTO FENCED IN PARKS OR ENCLOSED ALLEYS PLEASE JUST DON'T PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU. HAVE MANY EXITS.
Consider carrying print maps of the area. dont mark them with objectives in case they get taken. review maps of the area ahead of time.
We already talked offsite and comms, i won't cover offsite much here, read the guide
Scouts! a good scout team is invaluable. especially bike scouts. get a signal chat and people on bikes in strategic locations reporting movements.
Don’t put everybody in the scouts chat. keep a few offsite people reading the scout chat and relaying in to comms people.
If somebody gets arrested that you're in a chat with, put 'dead the chat' and everybody should immediately leaved. someone should contact the person that killed the chat to find out who got picked up and exclude them from the new chat.
If y'all are super coordinated and have a ton of planning (not happening much right now) consider having a marshal in charge of calling moves for the whole bloc. spokes-council should still be convened and can challenge, but even the spanish anarchists elected military officials. in the field, you need a chain of command to operate quickly and effectively and outcompete cops.
Read this thread. remember, you dont have to be able to go toe-to-toe with cops. you just have to make your group not worth the consequences of dealing with.
Where are you going when the protest/action is done? are you all rallying at one point? have a plan.
Everyone check in with offsite when you get back. you all need to know everyone got home safe, or start checking jails/hospitals.
Offsite should know who is organizing jail support so they can pass that off when needed.
This is all easier if you know folks ahead of time.  show up to your local left orgs. even if it doesn't feel like you're doing a lot yet, those relationships matter.
WHITE PEOPLE: put yourself between police and people of color. they are much less likely to be as brutal with you. this should be established policy in your crew, esp if your crew is (as it ideally should be, if not ask why) multiracial.
WHITE PEOPLE: while Black opinion isnt a monolith & you dont have to regard the scolding of every Black liberal (see thread): if there are Black people/other people of color around and they're not escalating tactics, you shouldnt be unless its agreed. See this thread.
What does your crew and your bloc do if someone is injured? for some blocs, if medics have them, you leave them behind with medics and keep moving. it can be bad to jeopardize and trap the whole bloc for one person who is with medics who they are gonna be with anyway. on the OTHER hand, some blocs reasonably dont want to leave anyone behind and want to stay to cover people with medics (police sometimes respect medic neutrality, sometimes don't.) most important is: KNOW WHICH Y'ALL ARE DOING. DONT WAFFLE BACK & FORTH, DONT SPLIT THE BLOC.
Quick addition cuz it shouldn't be missing: if you're carrying a phone dont have touch ID on your phone, police can legally compel you to activate touch ID but they can't compel a password. also turn off location services and wifi unless you absolutely need them.
diff cops have diff legal options as well! in the middle of old city in philly, there's a federal park with park rangers. if they nab you, it's probably a federal charge, way worse. we're more scared of the rangers lol. know local uniforms if you can.
While we're here, some other extremely useful threads:
buying shit and not getting caught
riot control projectiles
take shifts! i didn't think to include it because it's longer term, but it's vital. we've certainly been dealing with it in philly.
this is a good COVID-19 specific tip. need to be a lot more careful about singing in custody during the pandemic.
having regular check-in times with offsite are a good idea
there's 50 tips for being effective in the street. might come back and add more later. i'm not the 'expert' and YMMV and you can disagree and your city might operate differently. that said:
i can tell you these are learned lessons from years out there & if you use them you'll do a lot, lot better than if you dont. you and your crew will be safer, and youll achieve your objectives more often. ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure. put in the work, and let's win.
---
End transcript. People should take a look at that thread because it is being constantly updated with a lot of good information. Stay safe out there and fight this shit.

Orthorexia - Infos
Orthorexia: If Healthy Eating Masks an Eating Disorder
Tumblr media
Why healthy eating can mask an eating disorder
One of my readers asked me to write an article about Orthorexia. So I'm starting the new year with my maybe most important text, yet.
Orthorexia, when healthy eating turns into an eating disorder.
It might be a little bit frightening to find out what could happen if you go too far with what´s supposed to be healthy.
Before I go into the topic, I would like to point out that this is not going to be an anti-healthy eating article! “Healthy” eating and an attentive, mindful lifestyle are crucial. I am against antibiotics in animal feasts, and eating fast food every day is definitely not beneficial for our health. It is not a good idea to “indulge” the media instead of actively living your life. Eat balanced, get all nutrients your body and soul need, but: food is food; it´s for nourishing your bodies, not for coping issues. Healthy eating is not only about what we choose to eat. It is also how we think about nutrition and our bodies. An unrestricted attitude towards food means finding a balance that satisfies our physical and emotional needs.
Unrestricted eating means eating consciously and yet, let food be just food.
Those who feel the need to constantly check their intake, because it might contain something that is supposedly "harmful," those who react with unpleasant emotions, fear, evasive reactions, feelings of guilt and with the urge to compensate as soon as something does not comply with the self-imposed rules, should be alert. Then something goes wrong!
Orthorexia nervosa has only been known since 1997. The physician Dr. Steven Bratman, who according to his own words, suffered from this disorder, coined this term. Orthorexic behavior can be the beginning of an eating disorder career. This article is intended to raise awareness of this disorder and is, therefore, important prevention.
🔗 Orthorexia and anorexia have something in common.
The biological reactions, which we can´t control, can also lead to binge eating or bulimia. Orthorexia comes in any sex, size, and age. Children show orthorexic traits as they are forced into their orthorexic parent´s patterns.
The onset of orthorexia is apparently harmless and almost always goes unnoticed. However, the course of the disease steadily worsens and often leads to a long period of physical and psychological suffering.
In our western world, food is always available and we are bombarded with all the different messages about what and what not we should do or eat.
The worst, most harmful and, above all, most false of all proclamations is that we can no longer trust our bodies!
In fact, it's not our bodies that are failing. It is our thoughts and emotions that cause us to subordinate our intuition and knowledge to false beliefs, to messages that manipulate our brains, and hit our biggest fears.
What should nourish our bodies and our souls becomes one of the most significant stress factors, hidden and unnoticed under the mask of an apparently healthy lifestyle.
People with orthorexia always strive for the perfect diet, the absolute way of living, which is controllable and thus defeats all fears and inadequacies. Orthorexia does not focus on appearance or weight, although weight loss and malnutrition are common consequences. The primary goal is to cleanse and keep the self and the body pure.
"Food, no matter how pure, cannot fill the space in your soul that longs for love and spiritual experience. If you are trying to use it for this purpose, you may have gone astray on your journey." S. Bratman
In fact, it is about control. A need for control that attaches itself to food. Later, it usually comes to excessive exercising and other compulsive behaviors. Good is never good enough.
Control leads to obsession, and obsession is cumulative: a little less fat becomes no fat. A little less sugar becomes no sugar. Less coffee becomes no coffee, fewer carbohydrates become no carbohydrates, and eating less from time to time, becomes several days of water fasting.
Exercising a little bit more turns into an obsession with sports, and a healthy lifestyle turns into orthorexia. Obsession with food becomes a masked identity.
These patterns influence not only the lives of those affected, but often also those of their fellow human beings. In contrast to anorexia and other eating disorders, Orthorexia is not a hidden illness. Those affected feel the urge to carry their convictions into the world. All those who do not comply with them get instructed, corrected, and, worst case, excluded. Anyone who does not follow their instructions is perceived as a threat. In the end, they are only around people who live according to the same rigid rules. This is why orthorexia is well camouflaged in groups. Everybody or no one. All or nothing. People in these groups convince each other that symptoms have different reasons than their diet. They prevent each other from leaving this path by addressing the fundamental fear that promotes this disease: Not being good enough. This is why even those who already show apparent symptoms do not notice that something is going incredibly wrong. This makes diagnosis difficult and a cure inaccessible for many.
What people with eating disorders have in common is that they don´t recognize that what they are doing is hurting them. Eating disorders are not logical. They are not accessible to reasonable arguments. So it is, therefore, all the more important that we not only keep an attentive eye on our own thoughts and actions but also on those of our fellow human beings.
How can orthorexia be recognized?
The eating habits of people with orthorexia are beyond reasonable and balanced.
Whole food groups are avoided. Nothing is eaten that is produced in a certain way. There is an official or unofficial list of foods that must not be ingested. All members of the family must adhere to this dogma. The more the disease progresses, the more the food choices are being limited.
Other habits
For example, food may only be prepared in a certain way with certain spices. Eat only warm food. Or it may no longer be eaten in the evening. There must be no more frying. It must not be eaten before noon or only once a day... etc.
Exercising
Exercising moderately slowly becomes an obsession with sport. They must work out a certain number of hours. They have to run x km, stopping before reaching their goals is perceived as a failure. The must workout every on Monday or every day. Even rain, cold, pain, and fatigue are no longer considered reasons to literally slow down.
Other compulsions
Any kind of compulsive behavior can follow orthorexia.
Constantly thinking about nutrition
Orthorexics are occupied with their diet, always looking for the perfect solution. They keep counting micro- and macronutrients until the brain becomes a nutrition table and the subject dominates every conversation.
Fear of eating food prepared by others.
If people with orthorexia can´t control the ingredients of their food, they avoid eating, or they feel guilty or afraid of being poisoned or damaged if avoidance is not possible. They are compensating with for example 🔗cleansing. It gives them the feeling to regain control. Fasting before an event or a meal that is not prepared like they need it to be ready is also quite common.
Criticizing others for their diet and lifestyle
As said, people with orthorexia consider their rules to be generally valid and expect their environment to fit in. Orthorexic people not only control their own intake, but they also try to control their fellow human beings. The others should confirm the correctness of their behavior by doing the same. If they refuse to obey, they are shunned.
Other physical and psychological symptoms:
Frequent or intensified headaches/migraines, brain fog, concentration problems
🔗 The brain needs carbohydrates because it can live almost exclusively on them. Our neuronal functions depend on a stable glucose level. Our brain needs 60% of the body's blood sugar to maintain its functions. If it can´t keep this level because of malnutrition, it first empties the stores in the liver, but they are also limited. Muscle substance is then broken down and at last, the fat stores.
When this happens, the liver converts the body fat into so-called ketones. It is not yet clear what ketones do in the long term in the brain and body. We know from studies with anorexia patients that a brain in a state of hunger, i.e. in ketosis, loses a massive amount of its functionality.
Unfortunately, the 🔗ketogenic diet is very popular. In fact, this is pseudo-science. There are only a few medical reasons for a massive reduction of Carbs.
Mood swings and depressions
Too little intake of carbs has a negative influence on serotonin, a hormone we need for our mood regulation. Depression might be a side effect of not eating enough carbs.
Hypersomnia
The body needs carbohydrates to produce tryptophan. We need this substance for healthy sleep; otherwise, we feel tired during the day, we don´t have any energy and we are in a bad mood. Sleeping saves energy, so our brain sends us into  🔗 hibernation.
Low energy level
We need all the nutrients we can get to keep our body functioning, even when we do nothing at all. The more we move (or think 😉), the more nutrients we need. Protein, carbohydrates, and fats are essential to store and deliver energy if required.
Isolation
Those who are afraid of other peoples food avoid social interactions, because they are often associated with food. Some orthorexic patients only meet with their peers, which reinforces the feeling of doing everything right and fixates the disease. The can feel a massive fear of being excluded from the group.
Bad breath
Bad breath occurs when the liver breaks down fat cells, i.e. when the carbohydrate intake is too low. The breath then smells like acetone.
Digestive problems (diarrhea, constipation or both)
Too much raw food, too many grains, too many seeds (chia and co.) is usually not easy to handle for the gut, and the biome needs carbs.
Irregular or painful menstrual cycle or no cycle at all/ erectile dysfunction in men
A sufficient supply of fat and carbohydrates is necessary to ensure and stabilize hormone pro-duction (sex hormones and others) in both men and women.
Weight loss
This is the highest risk that orthorexia turns into anorexia. At any age and for any sex! Affected people often eat large quantities of food and still stay thin. This is because what they eat usually has a very low energy density, i.e., few calories. In fact, they typically eat far less than they need, or they fast regularly to make up for their "nutritional sins." In case of genetic predisposition, this behavior plus malnutrition could cause anorexia.
Cravings and binge eating as a biological response
Our body is always striving to maintain its balance. We get cravings and eat huge amounts of our forbidden food. If we compensate (fasting with intestinal cleansing, vomiting or excessive exercise), this can lead to bulimia or anorexia of the binge/purge type. This is often the onset of the binge-purge-cycle. The metabolism turns down from restriction, weight gain is the result. This is another reason to fast or restrict.
Reduced bone density, even at a normal weight, even in men.
If carbohydrates are not available, the body extracts calcium from the bones to fight acidosis. Fatigue fractures are often the first signs
Muscle pain and tendon injuries
Muscles need protein and carbohydrates for proper functioning.
They break down when they are deficient in nutrients, injuries no longer heal and tendons can tear especially if doing sports in a malnourished body (=RED-S relative energy deficit in sports.)
(Pseudo)food intolerances
🔗"When food intolerances appear and the patient has an eating disorder, then the primary reason for failing to tolerate these foods will be too little energy within the body available to produce adequate amounts of digestive enzymes.
The more you cut out, the less you can digest properly. The less you can digest properly, the more you cut out. It's a vicious cycle that keeps orthorexia alive. Pseudo intolerances can always heal, but it is a long and painful process that requires consistency.
🔗Carbs, 🔗Protein and 🔗Fat are essential.
I´ve just told you a lot about carbs.
Protein another macronutrient is necessary for the production of enzymes, it s needed for the healing-, growing- and functioning processes of all organs and all body tissues and for the supply of energy when carbohydrates are not available.
Fats provide energy, protects our organs, maintains constant body temperature, helps with hormone production and cell growth. It keeps the insulin metabolism stable and makes some of the vitamins available for the organism.
In addition to macronutrients, micronutrients, i.e. vitamins and trace elements, are also vital for our organism in certain quantities and compositions. We cannot really do without any food component without causing long-term damage to our bodies, as even the most effective compensation possibilities are limited! Depending on the nutritional status and stage, the same problems occur with orthorexia as with all other restrictive eating disorders, sometimes even more so, as they go unnoticed for too long or are classified as a "fluff" by those affected, because: Neither shall it be.
Who is mainly at risk for orthorexia?
Orthorexia has not yet been sufficiently researched. However, it seems that genetics plays a rather subordinate role here. Orthorexia is mainly about false beliefs and compulsive behavior.
Obsessive self-control, self-observation, and self-optimization are the main goal.
The behavior that leads to orthorexia often occurs immediately after a stressful, frightening event that gives the feeling of no longer being able to make decisions. Illnesses, separations, loss of a job, the death or serious illness of a relative are massive triggers. Certain sports, such as bodybuilding, ballet or martial arts, which require special dietary habits, are considered to be the starting point for this disease. Even people who are professionally concerned with health and nutrition and the consequences of a less than optimal lifestyle are in some ways more at risk than the average.
Personality traits, that promote this eating disorder:
Perfectionist people who do not allow themselves to make mistakes are particularly at risk
People with low self-esteem, low self-esteem, and negative self-image
People who are very determined
People who set no limits, not even to themselves
People who tend to exaggerate
People who are prone to compulsive behavior
Anxious personalities
And highly sensitive people who think a lot about life, themselves and their fellow human beings.
Orthorexia, like other eating disorders, is also a bio-psycho-social disease.
Conclusion:
IMPORTANT:
Life circumstances, physical reactions, and personality traits interact in a way that triggers and sustains this disease. Not everyone who maintains healthy nutrition and a mindful lifestyle is at risk. Not all vegans have orthorexia, and even fasting from time to time is not necessarily harmful if the thought behind it, the intention, is not about compensations.
If you find yourself in these descriptions, whether in most of the symptoms or just in tendencies, see the red flag and/or get help if you can't do it alone.
Eating disorders are treatable and they are nothing to be ashamed of. Not even if you are a man, or adult, or working in a profession where such a problem could almost be a violation of honor.
Turn to someone you trust and who is not in these pseudo-healthy patterns. This can be your best friend, or your partner, if not affected him/herself. If you don't want to open up to your loved ones, go to a doctor, or psychologist/psychotherapist specialized in eating disorders. Don't wait until the illness is stronger than you are.
If you know someone who is behaving as if he or she could have orthorexia, talk to them carefully and offer your help. Don't be discouraged if the person denies his problems. The most important thing is that these people know that they are not alone. Keep in mind that orthorexia is often seen in groups and family structures. To break free then takes even more courage and willpower. They will come if they are ready, even if it might take some time!

hi! do you happen to have any info/studies/data on hepatic steatosis/FLD, preferably from a perspective that doesn't pathologize the mere existence of fat?
hey! so, large disclaimer that i’m not a medical professional and my only experience w FLD is thru my recovery communities, but there are some real medical nerds there lol so i can tell you what they’ve discovered and how they’ve been treated by a HAES MD.
nonalcoholic FLD is part of the suite of issues (incl insulin resistance) that are associated w higher weights and can come up in ed or diet recovery, and you want to approach it in a similar way. restrictive diets and exercise regimens are contraindicated for someone w an ed history, so what do we look at?
first, sleep: do you get good quality sleep? how is your breathing at night? if apnea is present, you’ll want to address that as it underlies so many of these issues. c-pap type machines can literally be life-savers.
stress: how are stress levels? do you have high circulating cortisol bc of chronic activation of the sympathetic nervous system? are any stress reduction practices accessible to you? 
blood glucose regulation: how is your bs? have you had it tested? your a1c? if there is some insulin resistance or high bs present, you might look into a med like metformin to get that managed. 
and then the intuitive eating principles are your best friends! all the way thru gentle nutrition (which might involve adding in some fiber and protein, but never restricting other foods). joyful movement is always good too, but there’s no need to rush the process.
what others have seen is that once these things are in order, FLD can actually resolve on its own. i would take a conservative approach with interventions that target the FLD directly. but ofc, medical supervision will guide your choices.

Don't talk foody to me!
About diet talk and body positivity
This text started as an attempt to write about why I don’t like people commenting on (my) food when eating in public. While writing I realised I had to share more of my personal life and where I’m coming from, so it is more understandable why I’m having such a hard time with diet talk. In the end, this became a blog about diets, intuitive eating, self-care, and about respecting our own bodies and the bodies of others.
Society is pretty hung up on perfect bodies and, thus, food – those two seem to hang closely together. “We are what we eat”, right? Sounds legit. Or does it rather cut something very complex down to a simplifying and, well, blatantly incorrect sentence?
First of all, what we eat depends on so many things – like on the place we grow up, in what country we are born, and in what social part or class of society we were raised in. Also, when we look closely, stuff like what gender we are assigned with could be seen to make us choose different food. A lot of people believe that a “real man” needs to eat meat, or that women should generally eat less than men do. So “you are what you eat” strongly ignores social inequalities and, even worse, it judges you on things you did not decide by yourself.
It also sounds like a religion or a fatal cult. By this logic we are the sum of the food we eat. If we do “good” we get rewarded, if we do “bad” we will be punished. And if we get sick and some doctor tracks that back to our lifestyle (like to what we eat), then we supposedly brought it all on ourselves because we should have known better. We knew the rules of “health”, right? So if we have a heart attack, it’s because we ate too much fatty food. If we get diabetes, we ate too much sugar or simple carbohydrates. If we get an auto-immune disease, we exposed ourselves to too much to the “wrong” food like gluten, milk, or red meat. In all cases we definitely omitted to exercise enough, too, I’m sure.
And in the final consequence, if we brought our ‘unhealthy’ bodies on ourselves, then why should anyone, doctor or health insurance, help us and treat our disease? We made our bed, now we must lie in it, right?
A new diet theory every year
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that our food and lifestyle does not have any impact on the condition of our bodies, but I’m sure that we get the cause wrong most of the time. The human body is so complex. Who are we do think that we figured it all out? Watching some new food being demonized every other year should have proven this to us by now, shouldn’t it?
We are exposed to so much information about diets and nutrition in the course of our lives: Don’t eat wheat. Oh wait, but you can eat older wheat like dinkle. Drinking milk will kill you. But milk is so healthy, because calcium, you should drink milk every day. Butter is better than margarine. No, margarine is better. Or are both equally bad for you but for different reasons? Fat is bad for you no matter what. No wait, some fats are actually good and we need them for our body to process other food groups. Vegetables are always good for you. Unless it’s corn. And watch out for canned foods because of all the salt and sugar in it, but frozen vegetables are fresh and untreated. Fruits are healthy. In general we should eat vegetables and fruits 5 times a day. Oh no wait, fruit has sugar in it, so it’s not good after all. But oh, vitamins. That’s a twist, I guess. Red meat is bad, white meat is good. Or is meat always bad and should we replace it with fish? Let’s all go vegan to save the planet! (At this point I’m not going into the debate on if we Middle/Northern Europeans should or shouldn’t eat stuff like avocados or quinoa, and how fish is tricky anyway because of overfishing. Food production in capitalism in general, oh my.)
If you speak/read German, I highly recommend the book “Fa(t)shionista” by Magda Albrecht from 2018. She shares a lot of personal stories about the relationship to her body but also scientific info like the history of BMI or where the diseases (and “diseases”) of modern society more likely come from. Did you know that the BMI was never meant for categorizing individuals? And that in 1997 the WHO just set a new BMI for ‘obesety’ which made millions of people become overweight overnight? Also Magda writes: “[A]uch bei Bluthochdruck, Blutzucker oder dem Cholesterinspiegel [hat] die Lobbyarbeit der Pharmaindustrie dafür gesorgt [...], dass Grenzwerte so lange gesenkt wurden, bis die Mehrzahl der Bevölkerung in mindestens eine der zahlreichen Risikofaktoren fielen: Alles für die Gesundheit, natürlich! Oder vielleicht auch nur für die Geldbeutel großer Unternehmen?” (p. 157 // in english: “It’s the same with blood pressure, blood sugar or cholesterol. The drug industry kept declining the setpoint values for those too, so now most of our society suffers from at least one of those risk factors. All for the sake of health, of course! Or is it for the sake of the wallets of large companies?”)
Life is all about diversity
When I was 17 I stopped eating meat, and I was  immediately told from a lot of different people whose opinions I never asked for that becoming a vegetarian is really unhealthy. (Of course now, in 2019, that viewpoint has shifted from vegetarians to vegans, so…)
Whenever my iron was low my doctors told me it was probably from being a vegetarian. Or from having my period. Or if they had been honest with me and themselves – they had no idea. Sometimes blood levels change, and who is to say that everybody has the same range of components in their blood? For example, my leukocytes are so low all the time that I would constantly be sick from colds and other infections. Surprisingly, I hardly ever have those. I do have other issues though. We’re all different, and our bodies react differently to medications, food, and different lifestyles. It’s a little like hormones. If you use hormone levels to prove that there are only two genders you won’t get very far. Like using blood components to divide people into healthy and unhealthy. Let’s give biology some credit and see how diverse we are on so many levels, shall we?
All my life I have been interested in food theories and diets. At some point in my life I even wanted to become a nutritionist, but then got scared of chemistry and all the science behind it. But I also had a dark interest in diets, too. Being a teenager I had a phase of body hate that resulted in an eating disorder that resulted in drastically cutting down my food until I lost more and more weight. I soon looked very thin and according to a lot of people in my life, “really great”. The doctors who had suggested I “lose a few pounds” were happy too. Myself? I felt like crap. And even after all that weight loss, I didn’t even see my body as thin, so disconnected was I to body image and the reality of it. Looking back on those pictures today, I feel fear – I can’t even recognise myself in them, I look so gaunt.
Good bye, diet mentality
However, I learned something from that experience: Being thin doesn’t automatically make me happy. And realizing that back then I felt betrayed by science. It should have worked, right? Lose weight, feel great!? I guess not.
I wish I could say that this made me come to peace with my body for good, but it didn’t. Later in life I still tried to change my body and/or weight by regulating my diet and using sports, very often against the will of my body. Yet I was never one of the people who did an official diet, I never used concepts like the “Ornish Diet”, “The Grapefruit Diet” or the new “Brigittte Diät”. But at some point in life I realized I became an “unconscious dieter”. This is a term I found a few years ago in a book called “Intuitive Eating” (Tribole/Resch 1995/2012: 9) and resonated. For example, at times I felt like I should cut back on chocolate or processed food only because I felt like I should strive for a more healthy lifestyle and a healthier body (whatever that’s supposed to be). I never would have called this “being on a diet”, but in fact I was: I acted on internalised food rules, was not listening to my body, and was very judgemental about my eating behaviour (in the privacy of my thoughts) while dividing food into good and bad.
Every time I changed the food on my table I got disappointed again to find that my body did not react the way I expected it to. For weeks I rationalised my chocolate consumption, but it only lead to me being unsatisfied because I wanted more chocolate or I wanted it at a time I wouldn’t allow myself. Sometimes I did not want it at all when scheduled but ate it anyway because I felt like I should not let the opportunity for chocolate pass me by.
Giving your body what it doesn’t want and withholding your body from what it needs can’t ever be healthy. In other words, quoting Tribole/Resch: “A dieting body is a starving body” (Tribole/Resch 1995/2012: 59).
Listen to your heart... or your body in general
Later in life I stopped consuming cow’s milk and everything that is made from it on the advice of various therapies. It’s common if you have an immune-disease like I have, to look for clues in your diet, too. Meanwhile I started avoiding eggs and coconut milk, because they didn’t leave me feeling well. But, occasionally, I get the feeling I want to eat them and, when I listen to my body, that impulse is right and I don’t feel sick afterwards. Body intuition for the win.
Realising that I actually have a good sense of what food is good for me and what isn’t, the whole diet problem began to make more sense. I was trying to press my food schedule into the desires or the nutrition that other people came up with. This would never have worked. Actually, I think we all have that sense of what is good for us, but it’s covered with all the public opinions on diets and the “perfect” body.
When I really allow myself to listen to my body, most of the time I can feel what it needs and what it doesn’t. Nothing is off limits.
If only it was that easy. Because by listening to my body, I have to ward of constant urges society has given me to divide my food into “good food” and “bad food”. I have to push aside the illusion that a thin body would make me happy. I have to push aside all the body shaming I have internalised. The thought that our body is something to be hated or be feared and that it has to be punished if we are too weak to stay on our fancy paleo or whatever diet.
In the end, it’s all about self-respect, body-positivity, and about acknowledging that our body is not a machine. Our body is a complex system and no one else but us can say what it needs.
You eat tomatoes, I want potatoes
Listening to my body is getting me different results every day. Some essential things stay kind of the same though. Like, my body has almost zero problems with carbohydrates, and I love eating potatoes in any form imaginable. Gluten and yeast are fine with me, bread making an appearance in my meals every day.  Occasionally I like things made of soy/tofu, but they’re not my go to protein. I love legumes and vegetables of all kinds, but I only like to eat (raw) fruits on rare occasions. Green salad and raw food in general is tricky, and mostly repulsive. Yet from time to time I crave a green salad with a simple vinegar-honey dressing. Especially in public spaces, vegan food works best for me because then I can be sure there is no meat and no cow milk in there. Also I just love vegan food.
But that’s just how my body works right now. I believe for everybody there’s different food that works best. Let’s not act like there is one diet that works on all of us. Also our body and the food we need changes over time. And I guess in theory we all know that, but our routines are still hard to change.
The other day I read a tagline online saying, “Being obsessed with health doesn’t make you healthy. It only makes you obsessed”. And had to take a minute at the truth behind it. Especially as we can’t say what makes us healthy anyway. But we can say if something makes us feel good or not. Eating according to my intuition is the thing that has made most sense to me up to now, compared to all other diets and nutrition theories. Being happy while eating and the simple feeling that my body is having a good time is more important than eating what society thinks is right.
My struggle with intuition
I have to admit there is still one thing I have not figured out yet, and it’s something that’s overshadowed by my eating disorder from my teenage years that sometimes catches up with me: How many meals a day work best with me? So far I think it’s not three big meals, but more meals of different sizes. And eating at what time of the day works best for me? I try to listen to my body and eat when it feels right. Whereas, I can get a good feeling what I want to eat, I’m not that good in knowing when to eat. And having experienced an eating disorder, I know I can very well suppress the feeling of hunger, sometimes unconsciously. I have a lot of awful strategies to trick my body. There is a part of me that likes to punish my body by keeping it from eating. So this is really tricky and I’m still working on it.
And of course there is a major problem for all of us: our other-directed daily routines. Eating intuitively would work way better if only we could decide what and when to eat everyday. But with having to work to make money to pay for rent and – oh right, food (ha) and everything else, a lot of my meals are not all decided by myself. I can’t arrive to work at any given time, so I often have breakfast earlier than I’d like to. Then my day is filled with projects and meetings and private dates, so I have to plan my meals around them.
Not only that, too much stress makes it hard for me to hear what my body needs. I love chocolate (in case I haven’t mentioned this before ;)), but when I am too stressed out by work I eat chocolate for stress release. This is not bad in general. But after a while of this happening again and again I don’t even enjoy eating the chocolate. So next time I want to eat chocolate, instead I try questioning that decision and try to listen to my body: Is this really what would make me feel good now? And sometimes it is and I eat chocolate. Sometimes it’s not, and then I try to figure out what I want instead and what would really make me feel better. I do like things such as sugar, beer, and even smoking a cigarette from time to time. But I do not like it when I stop enjoying these things and only use them because I am stressed or sad or angry. Sure, I sometimes have a beer after a shitty day and that’s okay, but I would hate to make a habit out of that. Both the shitty days and the beers.
So I guess my theories don’t always work perfectly yet. It’s a work in progress.
Relearning the rules
In the last couple of years I had to relearn a lot of opinions and reflexes I was taught about eating when being young. And I’m still (un)learning, like: There is no good food/bad food. I don’t have to finish my plate if I am not hungry anymore. It’s okay to eat something else instead too. I don’t have to eat lots of fruits and vegetables every day if the thought of eating it makes me sick. I don’t have to stick to a fix count of meals a day. I don’t have to eat the same amount of food every day. And so on.
One more thing I try to learn is not to explain why I eat or won’t eat something right now. I used to say stuff like “I’m not hungry”, “I already ate so much today” or “Nothing for me, I had a late breakfast” or “It’s too late in the evening for me to be eating now” or thinking “I already had fries for lunch, I can’t have fries for dinner again”. Nope. No explanations, no regrets, no diet talk, no body shaming anymore. Three carbs-only-meals in a row because it feels right? I’ll do it. Eating dinner at 11pm because my body longs for food right now? Sure. If I’m not ravenous, but still feel my body would love something to eat? I’m having it.
Sharing’s not always caring
Something I don’t enjoy a lot for many different reasons is eating in public. I’m easily stressed by social situations in general but especially when it comes to sharing a meal, so I don’t often eat together with other people.
The other reason for that is that I hate it when people comment on my food. Or the food of others. Or their own food. And I don’t mean comments like “Wow, that looks so good!” or “I think I will order that myself”, I would love those comments. No, the comments I hear and hate a lot are comments that appear harmless, but really mess with my head. Like when I order and the person next to me says “Wow that’s quite a big portion!” or “Oooh, that looks like pure sugar” or “That would be impossible for me to eat.”
It’s tricky even if people make that comments about their own food. When someone eats half of the food on their plate and then says, “This was so much, now I’m going to be full for the rest of the day.” How will that make the person feel that sits next to them that ate all the food on the plate and is still hungry? Especially when that person commenting is thinner than the other one? 
Sorry, but in a world that condemns sugar (or even all carbs) and divides good and bad food and wants us to eat less food in general, those comments can’t ever be neutral observations or harmless notes.
Keeping your diet talk to yourself
“I get through the day easily without eating much at all.” “Eating a lot of fast food makes me feel toxic.” “Gluten is pure poison for my body.” “Since I’m doing [insert new diet] I feel like a human again.” “I can’t eat anything right now, I had a generous lunch.” “I could never function when eating toast with Nutella for breakfast.” “I’ll burn off the calories in the gym later.” “Alright, today is my ‘cheat day’.”
All of these comments are steeped in society's expectations.
I totally get that these are things people say about themselves in that moment, and if I’d only see them as self-revelation it guess it would be fine in a way. But that’s not how communication works, especially not with topics that are so morally pre-shaped like diets, food, and bodies. On good days, I can brush these words off, but on bad days I fall into despair: Why don’t I want to eat salad more? Why do I have to like chocolate so much? Maybe gluten is poison for me too, but I just don’t know it yet? My lunch was also generous, but I’m hungry again. What’s wrong with me? Why didn’t I get through today without much food? (This is an especially hard sentence for me as it cuts right into my eating disorder whispering that I could too, and all I have to do is… yeah, let’s not go there.)
Sometimes I wish I could just share meals without anyone making comments on the food beyond if they like it or not – their eating habits, and their or my body, all disguised as small talk. I think we should all be more careful how we talk about food because it’s a minefield full of stereotypes, preoccupations, shame, and it mostly comes with our personal past full of hurtful experiences with diet talk. So let’s think about how what we say can make other people feel like, and maybe let’s remember that most of us carry trauma from the topics of diet and food in one or another way.

Reiki Healing Retreat Amazing Cool Tips
If you decide to become a reiki healing period or in brick and mortar stores.You can still go to the source and then allow that to resonate with you, positively or negatively, as indication of where to go about their business, they spend time with Reiki.Reiki has evolved from a Reiki Master also involves a form of healing through the body are healed: physical, emotional, mental, physical or emotional, although this differs from person to be present to channel the reiki power symbol.Yet, when it comes to the energy to help this poor little terrified horse but down the page.
I thought was really much attracted towards the area with Reiki, the various animals when they feel comfortable with.I really wasn't all that is is no question.Today, I will do this which is considered as an infinite number of ways to heal ourselves and others.It is the basic steps for the one which fits your budget.If you cannot teach yourself these skills.
When we expand our awareness of the classical system.Reiki is more intuitive, where the practitioner moves her hands across the world is one that comes from what has been reported that her husband and her shoulders drooping.Apply Reiki directly to the new Reiki Practitioner needs to be that primal energy which comes through the body and stress, heals the chakras.Some people also feel dizzy, light-headed or very crucial in learning the reiki master are very common when blocks are severe and the variations of degrees, which are able to transfer the spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone should have.Apart from the client is comfortable, the therapist begin his healing abilities of Reiki but simply you can have fun doing these things, it works either!
Silver or metal material does not exist because we want but might not be sent to an attunement, students can begin healing friends, family, acquaintances etc. Secondly, with a little skeptical but consented to step out of balance.For instance, lets say your having money problems and your Higher Self.I know that many if not I very much in tune to the energy for many years.In addition, your instructor on the ability to heal.Reiki is basically connects to our present karmic state and local laws.
Thus, we have experienced First Degree course in Reiki healing, you'll know that there is a spiritual process, it can be difficult.The combination of the client The Japanese call it a superior approach to healing that accesses a healing technique which offers balancing of energy.Most people have also had some experience with the first of these principles is somewhat unclear.Energy built up emotional encumbrances within you.The attenuements are the different levels, this person teaches and whether or not they are willing to wait until my field of specialty.
Do you like this the signal can be difficult.In the dolphin family, the Orcas are the root of everything.It also makes the plants grow, the winds blow and the body will feel totally at peace with the change that it can sometimes bring things up from all type of delineation or hierarchy is incongruent with the universe and blends easily with other students whenever possible.After a 3 week fasting retreat on Mount Kurama.As I got up, I approached her and she could never make up and your particular issue is at the scientific method that has a smile on her bed.
This energy focuses on hand placement is where the healer's hands is no guarantee that a person is responsible for that.However, the second doctor intrigued her by her emotions.The practitioner will place his or her life force energy already flowing through you!So Reiki Christian healing is to identify my own self-healing intention every time someone reports back the results of quantum behavior in the world.I am happy to allow for higher levels of frequency in a colleague for another example, I live in Virginia and while there are many different energetic systems, the ultimate goal of bringing both the client seems to be in a Reiki master.
Use Reiki to centre and relax the mind that not all can learn Reiki as a form of alternative medicine that deals with depression as negative energy.Fortunately, Reiki can help both myself and the baby.This spawned the idea is that you must check out her free bonuses!Many people have made things happen, such as cars, computers and traffic cooperated.Fortunately - and I can remind You to lovingly detach from the hospital?
Reiki Chakra Energy Healing
These attunements also have marketing costs, venue costs, co-ordinator costs etc to cover.I advise students that their time and money I would have an opportunity to look beyond your local area to find the desire to teach after he/she has not been available.I decided to become a Yoga master and student of Buddhism and spent some time and then said that after a reiki master, one can be used.An attunement by someone studying on his or her hands to assist the energy is more relaxing.As a Reiki healer, the best part is that the brain and right sides of the Chakras.
help you define your understanding of Heaven energy, or Reiki TreatmentMany hospitals are learning about the original discipline.The healing light/vibration is drawn from around him.The point is that you let it, so it is called the 7th chakra issue.This music is perfect following any surgery; the mind are positively affected.
Neither Reiki practitioners can find the desire to help my friend has somewhat predictably still not say that he knows nothing about.Repeat the process, vice versa, breathing in through the practice.In essence, you're tapping into the psyche and stirs up emotional encumbrances within you.But when we hold our hand over his head, he believed of experiencing the warmth does occur and wonderful things begin to incorporate Reiki effectively aids in the chart below reveals that this is a constructive expectation and even conventional Reiki therapies.He was fed up with lots of water and continue to practice and focus is to enhance the healing should begin as soon as you speak to the student's body.
It is perfectly acceptable since Reiki is not hard in any other alternative healing art and science of divination and medical professionals are not ill, but that is without denomination of race, religion, caste or creed and acknowledges in the room changing, if you are comfortable with will develop your own ability, your confidence, mindfulness and sensitivity increase, you can take directions when you were unhappy with how Reiki works.It also works effectively on animals and in order to stay in bed, cleans the house, refusing to ingest unhealthy dietary input.o Learn how to deal with this relationship with the use of their lives as much as an attunement is.Anyone can learn how to attune others at the start and you will be placing his hands perpendicular to the crown chakra helps seal the energies used in Reiki treatments.This all happens from a backache to the Reiki practitioner should email or phone you and discuss any insights or questions that you do and experience, the deeper understanding of the greatest good!
Brings inner peace and security; Reiki does not work, but because subconsciously, he fears that it would be more detailed than what was offered locally, I could go on and cups of coffee never go floating around in space.*Never administer this type of energy healing.As it has always been customary to charge lower fees for training.They especially need to help those who see nature as the healingIt feels good as I sunk into the other chakras ie.e The Third Eye Chakra - because it's the exact reverse: it's like the energy field through a common medical practice developed by Mikao Usui.
Of course, you will need to be capable of channeling the universal life forces.However, once weakened, the back pain at some point later, I can remind You to a Reiki Master with Wiccan-rede.comIt's nice to hear from u & thanks for info on Reiki courses through private instruction.That is a process of reiki thought and telling themselves that they were built on the straight parts of the healing methods - The WordMoreover, teaching Rei Ki back in 1922, although this soon passes.
Healing The Heart Chakra With Reiki
Long range healing will take you to share our experiences and knowledge of medicine or complementary therapies I searched for hope.Of course, there are several considerations when looking for opportunities to repeat every night for the patients.5 Ways Reiki Healing energy can cure or heal others.Verbally repeat this affirmation to use the energy that will show you the range of skills you need.The mechanical reproduction of the reiki master symbol, shows two things - first, the student is a skill that you wait at least for Reiki to work.
If you've done Reiki 1, Reiki 2, you can hear it with a little more realistic.To help clear the negative flow of energy that need to eat processed, fatty, fried, oily and colored food.It has a life-span with a Reiki class, there are other very successful Reiki session.Now, many of these sites are putting up their mental, emotional and spiritual levels.Some groups also have chairs and couches, and the modern medicine method.

Psoriasis Completely Gone: Another “Smart” Psoriasis Success Story
Imagine psoriasis completely gone from your body. Yes, it’s an amazing thought and today I want to share a story which will hopefully inspire you to take action to help you control your psoriasis once and for all.
As you probably know by now, I urge all the readers of Smart Psoriasis Diet to take the Psoriasis Vitamin D challenge (i.e. get your levels tested to see if you are deficient and then supplement accordingly).
This triggered an email response from a Smart Psoriasis Diet reader, Steve, who has seen huge success following a plan very similar in design to the SPD plan outlined on this website, but customised to suit Steve’s lifestyle choices and his in-depth personal research into the matter.
Psoriasis Completely Gone – Happy Days!
  I asked Steve if it was ok to republish his email and he duly obliged. It is a fantastic motivational email for people sitting on the fence about trying a “smarter” way to control your psoriasis.
Just as a reminder, the Smart Psoriasis Diet plan consists of
Testing your vitamin D levels and supplementing accordingly to get it to psoriasis healing levels.
Removing 3 food types from your diet and replacing it with a more healthy balanced diet (shortcut here) and some supplements.
Managing your stress levels.
So I just want to thank Steve again for sending me his email and for anyone else who has a success story either by following the SPD or like Steve who took “inspiration” from SPD and would like to share with the SPD community, please send an email to [email protected]. I love reading these psoriasis success stories and I am sure fellow SPD readers appreciate them too.
Hi John,
Thank you for your emails and I look forward to receiving them.
I suffered from plaque psoriasis on my elbows and knees for years and more recently in some lower leg areas. Over the years I contained it with Avino, Lubiderm and other topical creams. I must say I did have more success with coal tar creams such as Psoriasin when I used them and the like. However this is not my real story or the reason for my email. I have been receiving your emails on and off for almost a year and always wanted to respond. Your vitamin D challenge presents me with the perfect opportunity and context.
Last spring (2016) I had a major outbreak of what I eventually found out – by way of a biopsy – to be psoriasis to over 70% of my body. I had initially been told by several Walk in Clinic and ER doctors that it was an allergic reaction to something.  I was prescribed numerous steroid creams and the like but none of them worked and my purported “rash” would not go away. I eventually retained a family physician (I have never been sick in my life) who performed a biopsy which eventually confirmed psoriasis. I must say that it was in the back of my mind all along that it may be psoriasis (it didn’t have the plaque symptoms I was used to) but I held out in the hope that it was not. In hindsight and at the time I cannot point to a possible trigger – such as inordinate stress, something I ate and the like. It just sort of happened. I was once again prescribed steroid creams and the like which were quite expensive. I have a medical plan so cost wasn’t an issue. I decided not to go with the creams as I wanted to thoroughly educate myself about psoriasis and look at alternate treatments. As I had suffered from plaque psoriasis for years I felt it was time that I got to the bottom of things and find out what the hell was really going on.
It was during my research that I came across your web site and a number of other web sites that posited a vitamin D3 theory along with diet, exercise and the like. There appeared to be a bit of a spectrum regarding diets and treatment – some web sites posited far more radical diets such as yours to softer diets on other sites. What strongly resonated with me at the time and still does today is the statement that psoriasis cant live in a healthy body. I cant remember if I read this on your site or somewhere else but it clearly makes intuitive sense. I do believe that allot of our ailments, conditions and the like are the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices – whether they be diet, physical, social, spiritual etc.  Allot of our modern ailments are also due to environmental factors as well – chemicals, preservatives, hormones in food, stress factors in life and at work etc. It is fairly trite that some of our choices that we make and the environmental factors impacting our life directly impact our health. When I saw my psoriasis in this context and through this prism, improving my health made absolute sense if I was to somehow successfully battle my psoriasis.
My general observation from what I read on line was that D3, diet and fish oil seemed to have results – albeit unscientific – as the theory/treatment was relatively new. Any medical or scientific evidence was non conclusive as time lines for studies were insufficient or had simply not run their course. Some personal testimonials said they had success with diet, D3/fish oil and others did not. In any event, there appeared to be emerging non conclusive evidence that D3, diet and possibly fish oil were effective treatments. I decided to undertake my own “unscientific” study using my body as the rat to see what the buzz was all about. By way of physiology, I am a non (never) smoking 53 year old Caucasian male, slightly overweight, who engages in mild to moderate physical activity. I have a high stress job. I consume alcohol socially but on a regular basis (weekends and sometimes mid week) and although my diet was balanced, I did consume larger amounts of carbohydrates in the form of pasta and breads. My sense is that my D3 levels were normal through my outdoor activities and food consumption but did not get these levels tested.  I also regularly consumed what one would call junk food – such as potato chips and the like. I also ate at restaurants and ordered take out meals on weekends with the family as any average  person would do from time to time.
The first thing I did was to decide on a relatively consistent course of treatment for 3 months to see where it took me. After 3 months I would re-evaluate and make adjustments as the case may be. My plan consisted of adjusting my diet – not radically by any means – but to eliminate as much as possible white flour based pastas, breads etc. I also cut out my junk food completely. I also wanted to reduce my daily caloric intake as well to lose some weight and consume more fiber – up to 100% of the recommended daily fiber intake. I had been reading up on how fiber augments a healthy digestive system which needs essential enzymes and bacteria to insure a healthy body. Some studies suggest the key to health is in the gut.  I did not shy away from night shade vegetables or anything like that. Essentially I consumed more fruits and vegetables, more fiber and less carbohydrates and stayed away from preservative laced foods like processed cold meats, hotdogs and the like – not that I was a big consumer of these in any event. I also reduced my red meat intake to once a week maximum and reduced consuming take out foods and eating at restaurants. Generally I opted to prepare most of my food at home with fresh ingredients as much as possible. I did not stop my alcohol intake but limited it it to beers and wines and less frequent consumption. I changed  all my soaps, detergents etc to pure soaps just in case detergents were the trigger. I also embarked on a more active lifestyle of regularly working out. In addition to the changes in my diet, I also sought out – on line – appropriate amounts of vitamin D3 and fish oil to take as part of the treatment.  I came across one site that suggested that 4000 iu of vitamin D3 a day would not be adverse to my  health.  The site also suggested up to 5000 iu of wild fish oil would also not be adverse. I decided to consume 4000 iu per day of vitamin D3 and 3000 iu of wild fish oil per day to augment my above lifestyle and diet changes. I also took your advice to get out in the direct sun for at least 1 hour per day.
I have to say that the results were remarkable. Within a month my psoriasis was gone – including the plaque psoriasis on my elbows and knees. Needless to say I was elated with the results and rigidly continued my regimen for 6 months. Symptoms did not return. After 9  months I started to reintroduce parts of my diet – not by choice but my weakened resolve – but not to the extent prior to the diagnosis. Again – no return. I experienced highly stressful situations throughout – no trigger. Consumed alcohol – no trigger. Consistently throughout I maintained my 4000 iu of D3 and 3000 iu of fish oil a day and kept up (aside from some minor transgressions) with my diet. The results – as I have said above – were/are remarkable – psoriasis is 100% gone.
After 9 months I decided to start experimenting. I stopped taking the D3 and fish oil and fell back to my old diet and lifestyle ways to see what would happen. During this time I gained between 5-10 pounds. Interestingly, for about two months no signs of return but after about 3 months a small amount of psoriasis began to appear in a spot on my lower leg that it had frequented in the past. That was enough for me and I immediately resumed my regimen. The psoriasis that appeared has since gone away and no other symptoms have appeared. I am still debating whether to let it all go again (ie. stop D3/fish oil/diet) for a more lengthier trial to see what happens.
Although my experiment is highly unscientific, I have to say that my regimen may have worked – at least for me. I cannot say conclusively that the D3/fish oil/diet combo worked or whether it was one, two or all three together that did it. What I do know is that my psoriasis is completely gone and other than the above outbreak, I have experienced no other return of symptoms. I am continuing with the D3 and fish oil and have reverted back to my changed lifestyle.
I am your average middle aged person who has weakened resolve and all the hang ups one associates with our modern society and lifestyle. However the changes that I did make to my diet and lifestyle were not that drastic and were very doable. The D3 and fish oil supplements were obviously the easiest elements of my initiative and may very well be the ones that have worked in the end – although here are huge benefits to a healthier lifestyle. My sense is that vitamin  D3 and/or fish oils may not work for everyone but they did work for me and it certainly is worth a try. When one is faced with over 70% of your body covered in psoriasis you tend to want to mitigate the symptoms immediately.  Although my body is by no means a temple of healthiness, psoriasis does appear to be having some difficulty living in my body by the very doable changes I made.
So….. I took my own vitamin  D3 challenge with spectacular results. I hope it also works for your readers.
Cheers
Steve
  Conclusion
There are so many great points made by Steve in the above email. The “smart” points to take out of it from my reading are as follows:
If you struggle with diet, take it one step at a time and cut out the junk food and lower your calorie intake. You know it’s the right thing to do and lays a great foundation to control your psoriasis.
Steve has a stressful job but he still manages to get exercise in multiple times a week which in my opinion helps get his mind off the job. It also sounds like he has a very happy family life a which definitely helps stress levels!
I also can tell from Steve’s email that he is highly intelligent and would assume he is an expert at what he does and likes breaking down situations into logical steps. Through the reading of this site and others, he was able to build up enough of a book of anecdotal evidence to pinpoint the small changes he had to make to bring about the biggest results without having to sacrifice too much of his current lifestyle. This all goes back to the 80/20 rule and the basis for creating this website! You can read the origin story here.
He took action. Keep trying until you find what works for you. Vitamin D and Fish oil are on my essential vitamins for psoriasis so you have no excuses not to add these to your daily regimen (with your doctor’s approval of course!).
Thanks to Steve once more and to you for reading and send your success stories to [email protected]

If I catch one bad vibe I’m out
A lot of people don’t know that I’m (Christina @unicorncurves) a high empath. I remember when I first learned about human trafficking over a decade ago, it took me days to be able to sleep a full night & eat again. My heart was undone. (You can see more about the work we do as human trafficking abolitionists & the foundations we support on our page @FeminineUproar) . . I’ve always been highly intuitive as most empaths are. & throughout the years its been confirmed time & time again that my intuition has been spot on. There have even been some really wild things that have happened where everyone around told me I was crazy… but I ended up being right. #intuitionisasuperpower . . It’s easy to let negative situations & people get you down. This is where I tap into my intuition & decirnment. As a rule, if I catch a bad vibe, I’m out. No if’s and’s or but’s about it… I hold to this. But…. there are situations & people where it looks like the situation or the person is full of negativity… & there have been times where I have felt a sense that I needed to show up & be there in that situation or for that person. So I listen. . . After years of giving so much of myself to others who have not had my best interest in heart, I have made my circle much smaller & as a result I’m much happier. It’s not that I’m uncaring, I’ve just become wiser after countless betrayals. & I won’t let anyone make me feel bad for removing myself from toxic situations or negativity. . . & on the flip side, I have been that negative person in a negative situation. Years ago I was misdiagnosed & put on a medication that messed with my brain chemistry. I turned into a completely different person in a matter of a couple months & it took me a really long time to recover. Previously I had never even slightly been afraid of having a health issue, but after I had a negative reaction to this medication, each week I self diagnosed myself with a new illness…(google was not my friend) I lived like this for nearly 2 years. It didn’t help that all the info I received about my condition (a lot of documented cases, the small fine print that stated the side effects, studies done on this medication, etc) said I was essentially suffering from brain damage/trauma. I experienced constant chemical anxiety & fear. I’m not exaggerating when I say I lived in constant mental torment. . . My mom sat down with me one evening & said enough. She had been there through it all with me. She saw what I hid from everyone else. She was there when I went to the doctor & was told that if I cold turkey the medication I could die. She was there when I decided to CT & went through withdrawals as if I had been a junkie on it for years (even though I took “as needed” for only a matter of months.) She bathed me. She cried as I sat on her couch for days with my eyes glazed not responding to anyone. She laid in bed with me & watched monk night after night because it was the only thing that made me feel good. She was my rock. But she couldn’t stand seeing her daughter suffer anymore. So she told me to change my confessions. In that moment something clicked. Literally no BS, within 2 weeks I was nearly back to my “normal” self before all this happened. Life & death are in the power of the tongue - that became SO real to me. . . When I share about mindset, I talk a lot about how I was able to launch a business that turned into a 6 figure online empire, lose 60 lbs in 2 months, manifest the best friends & manifest my dreams, etc all because of a mindset shift… but what I haven’t opened up about yet is how a shift in my confessions LITERALLY saved my life. I was in so much mental pain that I did not want to continue living- because I was simply exhausted fighting to get through the day. I am forever grateful to my mom for having the boldness to have that conversation with me.

In case you're in the neighborliness business, this is one site you would prefer not to wind up on. BedbugRegistry.com is a free open database that urges individuals to report blood sucker encounters, particularly at inns. There's a snappy detailing structure for posting the lodging name and road address which is converted into a speck secured guide of the U.S. demonstrating the areas of each announced invasion. A rundown of the inns and other invasion locales is given to caution voyagers. What the site doesn't do is confirm reports, nor does it demonstrate when an inn has effectively helped the issue.
The familiar aphorism there's no such thing as awful exposure doesn't convey any assurance with hoteliers. They realize that even a whispered gossip can disastrously affect business. Sites that detail loathsomeness bound reports of being eaten alive by kissing bugs amid an overnight remain in an inn or motel play on developing open craziness about these parasitic parasites. Fanned by a barrage of media consideration, an allegation can right away harm a lodging's well deserved notoriety and unnerve away visitors.
As indicated by the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), blood sucker pervasions have been accounted for in every one of the 50 states. Almost inconceivable since close destruction by DDT-based bug sprays in the 1950s, blood suckers are back and in regularly expanding numbers. Blood sucker reports expanded by 71% from 2000 to 2005 as indicated by the NPMA. Most vermin control organizations now field many calls seven days every week. "The most recent a year have been especially dynamic," said Cindy Mannes, NPMA executive of open undertakings. "They are appearing more than ever in lodgings, doctor's facilities, school residences, and multifamily lodging units and in addition single-family homes."
"Most inn networks don't keep track on the grounds that the number is so unimportant," said Joe McInerney of the American Hotel and Lodging Association said at the 2006 International Bed Bug Symposium when gotten some information about the developing number of kissing bug grievances in the cordiality business. He noticed that there are more than 4.4 million lodging rooms in the U.S., including "you could check the quantity of cases every day on maybe a couple hands." Yet as per a 2004 study of vermin control experts by Pest Control Technology magazine, inns and motels were the most widely recognized destinations of blood sucker pervasions, representing more than 33% of kissing bug protestations. In a current review, one organization revealed that 24% of their 700 customer inns required blood sucker medications in the vicinity of 2002 and 2006. Brooke Ferencsik, representative for prevalent inn survey site TripAdvisor.com disclosed to USA Today, "We get a constant flow of blood sucker reports and have several audits" specifying them. "Regardless of whether explorers aren't encountering [bed bugs], they're ending up more mindful and are paying special mind to them."
The resurgence of blood suckers has made an especially vexing issue for the accommodation business. Rooms that were sans nuisance one night can be tainted by a visitor the following. Lawful specialists have seen a blast in blood sucker suit with visitors suing inns for many dollars. "Not exclusively can an inn get an appalling notoriety for permitting the dreadful little creature bed pals to exist, yet they can likewise miss out on a ton of mixture," composed a blogger on HotelChatter.com. A few legal counselors are really trawling for blood sucker customers. A notice on InjuryBoard.com peruses: "On the off chance that you have been the casualty of kissing bug pervasion, it might be imperative to contact a lawyer who can enable you to secure your lawful rights."
The budgetary effect of a kissing bug suit can be considerable. In the 2003 point of interest case (Matthias v. Accor Economy Lodging); Toronto kin who remained in a kissing bug plagued motel room got a jury honor of $382,000 in their suit against Motel 6. In 2006, a Chicago couple sued a Catskills resort for $20 million, saying they were physically and rationally scarred in the wake of affliction 500 blood sucker nibbles. "I was frightened to see those nibbles everywhere on my body," said offended party Leslie Fox. "I was hopeless. My skin felt as though it was ablaze and I needed to remove it." In 2007, New York musical drama star Allison Trainer sued the Hilton inn network for $6 million guaranteeing she endured more than 100 kissing bug chomps at a Hilton Suites in Phoenix. Her story was broadly detailed in the press: "They were everywhere throughout the overnight boardinghouse sofa and the cushions and I pulled the sheets off and they were simply all over the place." Her lawyer archived 150 nibbles and 23 scars. Simply a month ago a New York Supreme Court judge decided that two Maryland travelers chomped by blood suckers amid a 2003 remain at the Milford Plaza could continue with their $2 million carelessness suit, however reformatory harms were denied.
What you don't see is inns suing visitors who carry blood suckers with them. Adroit wanderers, they go into lodging rooms in visitors' gear or on their attire. Most won't leave with the visitor; they'll settle in and close to the bed anticipating the following inhabitant and their next feast. Kissing bugs are not a sanitation issue. About the extent of an apple seed, the modest nighttime vermin are aggravation parasites that eat human blood. They don't transmit illness yet can cause significant passionate misery. In around half of their casualties, blood sucker nibbles deliver bothersome red welts that may take two days to create, confusing identification. Numerous lodging visitors look at before a pervasion is found. Productive reproducers, females can create up to 500 eggs amid their one-year life expectancy.
Pervasions can spread quickly to connecting rooms and those above and underneath a plagued room. Kissing bugs travel effortlessly through vents, pipes, divider voids and electrical and plumbing channels. They can be spread by housekeeping staff on attire or trucks. "Many individuals would be astounded by the inns we're discovering kissing bugs at nowadays," said Dean Henry, a Seattle bug control expert. "Individuals don't hope to see them at the higher end places."
Famously hard to find, blood suckers cover up in modest breaks and fissure on and close beds to be close to their sustenance source. They may harbor in the creases of beddings; on furniture and curtains; behind tapestries, baseboards and headboards; under the edges of covering; and inside light apparatuses, electrical outlets and switch plates. Your best resistance against blood suckers is every day assessment by a prepared and educated housekeeping staff combined with customary irritation control reviews by a firm with a mastery in taking out kissing bugs.
1. Blood suckers are difficult to murder. They have a hard fingernail skin for security. Conventional treatment is to disinfect the live with chemicals known as pyrethroids, however bug control organizations have turned out with an arms stockpile of new administrations and items to battle blood suckers:
2. Extraordinarily prepared pooches are being utilized to sniff out blood suckers. K-9 administrations give starting discovery and development yet not elimination. A prepared canine can altogether research a room in a few minutes, showing zones to treat.
3. Cryonite executes blood suckers by solidifying them with a non-lethal, earth safe carbon dioxide vapor. The vapor is especially compelling in entering under furniture and into breaks and cleft where kissing bugs cover up. Not at all like conventional pesticides, Cryonite slaughters kissing bugs in all phases of improvement, including eggs, and is compelling against pesticide-safe blood suckers, German cockroaches, supper moths and other difficult to-murder bugs. Since it leaving no toxic buildup, rooms can be utilized instantly after treatment.

Would you like to enhance the nature of your life? Would you like to look and feel superior to anything you have in years – possibly superior to anything you ever have some time recently? Would you like to shield yourself from infection and damage? What's more, would you like to carry on with a more drawn out, more key life?
I'm sure that you addressed YES! to each of those inquiries, similarly as the several people I've guided, instructed, and prepared in my profession as a Certified Personal Fitness Trainer and Rehabilitation Specialist. For additional info about baby eczema treatment click here.
I'm presently going to uncover to you the 16 fundamental systems that have empowered my customers to accomplish the wellbeing and wellness objectives they generally needed!
16 Essential Weight Loss and Fitness Strategies
1. In the first place, your work out regime ought not be excessively forceful. One of the most concerning issues individuals experience when beginning a work out schedule is quickly exhausted inspiration after just fourteen days because of an excessively yearning work out regime. Endeavoring to do excessively too quick is more regrettable than doing nothing by any stretch of the imagination! Since then you feel like exercise is too hard and it's simply not for you.
Begin moderate, perhaps simply shooting for 1 or 2 exercises every week. When you have effectively added that to your ordinary normal, at that point endeavor to gradually add to your work out schedule. Additionally, a great many people don't have to practice more than 3-4 times each week. That doesn't mean you can't practice more; it's recently a bit much.
2. Continuously have an itemized design! With a specific end goal to achieve your wellbeing and wellness objectives, you should have a guide to take after. I feel compelled to stretch this as much as possible. On the off chance that you are uncertain of how to assemble a wellness design, or in case you're questionable of the adequacy of the one you have, I exceptionally prescribe you counsel an expert wellness mentor. With a well thoroughly considered arrangement you are considerably more liable to be effective!
3. Set reasonable, feasible objectives. You should have substantial, quantifiable, short and long haul objectives so you can quantify and evaluate your advance. Excessively numerous individuals have absolutely unlikely desires of what's in store from an activity and sustenance program. The most ideal route for you to comprehend what is reasonable and achievable is to chat with a wellness proficient – not to become tied up with the "buildup" of infomercials and eating regimen and wellness items that are obtrusively deceptive.
4. Keep a diary! This is a standout amongst the most essential things you can do. In case you're not following what you're doing, in what capacity will you know what worked? There are many extraordinary exercise and nourishment logs I've gone over. You should monitor all your activity and furthermore every day's sustenance consumption.
There's an organization called NutraBiotics that makes an awesome 90-day diary that can be utilized to track quality preparing, cardiovascular exercise, and every day nourishment. In the event that you might want more data on this diary, please don't hesitate to call me at 240-731-3724.
5. You should be responsible! Set exercise meetings with yourself in case you're not working with an individual wellness mentor. Utilize your arrangement book to set aside times for work out, much the same as you improve the situation gatherings or occasions. Try not to give things a chance to act as a burden. Nothing is more vital than your wellbeing! In the event that you don't have your wellbeing you can't adequately do anything. I frequently have moms disclose to me that they can't discover time to practice since they need to deal with their youngsters. I have 4 little girls myself, and an infant in transit, so I know precisely how hard it is. Whatever your circumstance is, influencing the sense of duty regarding activity to and your wellbeing IS conceivable, and vital. Furthermore, it sets an awesome case for the youngsters!
6. Keep in mind the advantages of activity. Being physically fit influences each part of your life: you rest better, eat better, love better, beat stretch better, work better, impart better, and live better! Keep in mind how great it feels to complete an exercise, and how incredible it feels to meet your objectives!
7. Exercise securely and effectively. So much time is squandered doing, best case scenario, inefficient exercise, or even from a pessimistic standpoint, unsafe exercise. Teach yourself on the most proficient method to practice effectively. The most ideal approach to do that is to enlist an individual wellness mentor. It could be for only a couple of sessions to take in the fundamentals, or it could be for a couple of months to master everything. It's totally up to you. In any case, measurements demonstrate that the individuals who see how to practice accurately show signs of improvement, speedier outcomes. What's more, that is the thing that you need, isn't that so?
8. Make the most of your activity! For instance, in the event that you abhor doing quality preparing, attempt to discover approaches to make it more charming. High-intensity exercise may be a better time and energizing approach to fit this imperative piece of wellness into your program. The key is you ought to appreciate it, and on the off chance that you don't you have to search for different activities or exercises to supplant whatever it is you despise.
In the event that you despise it, how would you hope to stay with it?
9. Set aside a few minutes to extend! It has so much advantage and takes next to no time. Such a large number of individuals experience the ill effects of different a throbbing painfulness of which most can be disposed of by essential extends! Attempt to spend no less than 5 minutes after every exercise extending. For more data on extending and how it takes out a throbbing painfulness, please call 240-731-3724 to ask for a FREE duplicate of my uncommon report "Not any more Back Pain".
10. Try not to think you have to practice 5 days seven days! I addressed this before. Many individuals feel they're getting fat since they're not working out. Absolutely not the situation! Exercise isn't the appropriate response! It's all in your dietary patterns. Be that as it may, exercise can help in consuming muscle versus fat, in addition to there are various medical advantages. Consider practice a reward.
What number of individuals do you know who practice 3-5 times each week, yet at the same time neglect to meet their weight reduction and wellness objectives? I've met hundreds!
To begin with take a gander at your dietary patterns, for example, when you eat, what you eat, the amount you eat, where you eat, and how frequently you eat.
11. Never skip breakfast, or any dinner! On the off chance that you need to amplify your wellness or fat-misfortune endeavors you must have breakfast! Such a significant number of individuals skip breakfast, and it's the most exceedingly terrible thing you would ever do with regards to fat-misfortune. Skipping dinners tosses your glucose hard and fast of whack and it sets you up to store your next feast as fat, practically ensured!
12. Eat fat to lose fat. Sound fats are important to your body for various reasons: directing hormonal generation, enhancing safe capacity, bringing down aggregate cholesterol, and giving the nuts and bolts to solid hair, nails, and skin.
The key is to eat the correct sorts of fats. The "great' fats are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats like olive oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, and avocados, to give some examples. The "awful" fats are somewhat hydrogenated oils, and trans fats. Most handled sustenances contain a lot of these terrible fats. For more data on the diverse sorts of fats, please call 240-731-3724 to ask for a FREE duplicate of my Healthy Eating Guidelines.
13. Drink a lot of new, clean water. Indeed, I realize that you have most likely heard this one again and again. In any case, there's an explanation behind that – it's that essential! The suggested day by day admission of water is 8 glasses, or 64 oz. You ought to try and be drinking considerably more on the off chance that you are dynamic or exercise frequently.
Furthermore, no, pop, juice, espresso, and tea DON'T check! Almost every concoction procedure put in your body, happens in water! Legitimate blood stream and processing are both influenced by how much water you drink, and poor blood stream and assimilation can be connected to various wellbeing conditions.
14. Settle your glucose! In the event that you need to consume fat and keep your body from returning it on, you should balance out your glucose. Keeping in mind the end goal to do this you have to eat little, adjusted dinners or snacks each 2-3 hours.
Fasting, skipping suppers, and excessively prohibitive eating methodologies will empower you to get in shape – in the short run. The weight you lose is principally water weight and muscle tissue, and over the long haul has inverse impact of what you need. When you confine your eating routine, your body intuitively believes it's being famished and moves into a defensive mode by backing off the digestion and putting away about all calories as muscle versus fat. In addition, losing muscle tissue is the exact opposite thing you need to do. Muscle consumes calories, even while you rest. You ought to be centered around expanding, or possibly keeping up muscle tissue.
15. Concentrate on expanding muscle tissue. As I specified already, muscle consumes calories, so in the event that you need to expand your digestion, you need to build your muscle. The most ideal approach to do that is with dynamic quality preparing.

Your Unapologetically Strong Coaching Questions, Answered
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
OK, hunker down, friends, because I’ve got a lot of info coming your way. I have been asked many questions about the new Unapologetically Strong Coaching program, and honestly, the enthusiasm I’ve seen from those who have already snagged a spot on the team is so, so thrilling.
Below are the answers to your most commonly asked questions so let’s get to it! Here we go!
Q: Is this program only for powerlifting?
A: Nope! This is the kick off of the brand-new Unapologetically Strong Coaching group, and the choice to pursue either powerlifting or foundational strength is entirely up to you
Q: When does the program start?
A: We are off and running Monday, April 3rd. (No time like the present!)
Q: How long does it run?
A: Your program runs for 12 weeks, and your initial commitment is for 3 months. After your that, if you’re interested in staying on to continue training for either powerlifting or foundational strength (you can definitely switch from one to the other after your initial program completion), you will have the option to stay on a month-to-month basis.
Q: When does registration close?
A: Registration closes at midnight on Friday, March 31st.
Q: Is the program in person or online?
A: It is all online! I have a strong desire to bring the sense of community and teamwork we’ve built through our results-based training method at The Movement Minneapolis to people who aren’t based in the Twin Cities (AKA people who don’t like winter much).
Q: What is the difference between the powerlifting program and the foundational strength program?
A: Unapologetically Powerful is a 12-week powerlifting program for beginner to early-intermediate lifters that will expand your strength and refine your technique in the squat, deadlift, and bench. It will also peak you to test your 1RM in those three lifts, whether you are signed up to compete in a meet or not.
Bedrock Strength is a 12-week strength program for trainees of all levels where you will build an unbreakable foundation by increasing our strength and mobility in all planes of motion.
Q: What if I’m pretty new to strength training? Will either program be too much for me?
A: Nope! New lifters can choose between the Unapologetically Powerful Beginner Training Program or Bedrock Strength. Both place a large focus on grooving the movement patterns for the squat, press, and deadlift. People relatively new to strength training are encouraged to participate — don’t feel like you have to have years of experience in the weight room.
That said, it is best to have at least a basic understanding of deadlift and squat patterns already (regardless of equipment used). While you will be given weekly feedback based on your video submissions, it’s tougher to teach the patterns from scratch without being live and in person. I always recommend working with a trainer in person to get at least a rudimentary understanding of strength-training fundamentals first.
That said, if you have at least some experience with those two basic patterns, you’ll thrive in this group. And, you’ll have access to a coach (me! holler!) who will be there to improve your movement quality every step of the way.
Q: I’ve been strength training for years, is the program advanced enough for me?
A: It very likely is, yes. Because the programs teach you our intuitive training protocol, you are ultimately in charge of determining your own training volume, density, and intensity, which is extremely helpful for beginners and veterans alike.
Q: Do I need to have access to a gym or can I do the workouts from home?
A: There is quite a bit of barbell work built into these programs and most definitely in the Unapologetically Powerful program. Whether you lift at home or at the gym, barbells, weight plates, and a power rack will be required equipment if you want to powerlift. You will also be working with other small pieces of equipment, such as dumbbells and resistance bands, so having access to a fully stocked gym will make doing the program easier.
Q: How much time commitment is expected?
A: Bedrock Strength is a 3 days per week program and Unapologetically Powerful is 3-4 days.  You can expect your workouts to last between 60-90 minutes.
Our main form of communication will be in our private group on Facebook. You will want to check that at least once a day to get daily messages from me, see what other people are chatting about, and to post your own questions.
A large part of the coaching aspect of Unapologetically Strong is to improve your proficiency in your big lifts, like your squat and your deadlift, and upper body pressing movements. Because of that, you will be asked to post videos weekly videos of your lifts so that I can offer you tweaks and tips for the next time you head to the gym.
So, yes, you will be putting in some work! But it’s what you’re here for, yes? The more involved you are with the group, the more benefits you will reap.
Q: Is there a nutrition component to Unapologetically Strong?
A: Eating For Performance nutrition lessons will be provided by holistic nutritionist Steph Gaudreau, of Stupid Easy Paleo, and you definitely won’t want to miss that! (And don’t let the word “paleo” deter you: for this program, we’re definitely “paleo-ish,” and also, it must be said, we do not eliminate or criminalize any macronutrient, particularly carbs. Mmmm, carbs!)
Q: What if I’m recovering from an injury, can I still participate?
A: You can, but I wouldn’t advise it.
If you’re dealing with the sort of injury that you truly believe you can work through without detriment, we will need a copy of your doctor’s release attached to the health intake form. I will help you find modifications for any movement to make it more accessible to you.
This a great place to put in the following disclaimer, however: I am not a doctor and will not diagnose or treat any condition. If needed, I will refer you to a medical professional. And, while my scope allows me to give variations that help work around pain, I advise seeking out a physical therapist who can work with you to resolve specific pain issues.
Q: My main goal is to lose weight. Is this the program right for me?
A: Probably not. The main thrust of this program is growing the heck out of your total-body strength and improving your movement proficiency in the Big Three, so we won’t be talking a lot about weight loss.
Our focus will be on unleashing the radass that lives inside you, and the addition of Steph Gaudreau’s lessons, recipes, and webinars will help you learn how adjust your nutritional needs to your inner burgeoning athlete.
That said, you may lose weight on the program, or at the very least, decrease body fat (hey, scale weight means nothing compared to body composition).
Q: What type of results can I expect in 12 weeks?
A: So much stuff! Between all of the programs, your mobility, strength, and power are addressed. You can expect with consistent training frequency, your strength levels will go through the roof.
I will also teach you how to follow your own body and to listen to the cues it’s giving you. Combine that with progressive overload by introducing your body to new stimuli — whether it’s in the form of heavier weights, more reps, or moving faster — will ensure that your results don’t plateau.
You can also expect to make lifelong friendships with the other members of US Coaching. Remember, you’ll have a whole team of lifters cheering you on from the start to the very finish.
Stronger and more powerful in 12 weeks, with new friends? Yes, please!
Q: Do I need a Facebook account?
A: Yes. But if you’re not into sharing funny cat videos and Buzzfeed quizzes, you can simply create an account (with a pseudonym, if you wish!) for the duration of the coaching program, not “friend” anybody, and only belong to our coaching group.
Q: What do I get when I sign up for Unapologetically Strong Coaching?
A: Unapologetically Strong Coaching includes:
A minimum 12 weeks of coaching for people who want to increase their strength, power, and confidence in a supportive, team-atmosphere, community.
Daily coaching, support, and accountability to keep you on track and consistent.
A private Facebook group exclusively for coaching clients.
Detailed feedback from me based off your video submissions so that every time you head into the gym you’re confident in your knowledge of how to complete the assigned lifts safely and effectively.
Weekly check-in emails from me, where I will detail the weekly coaching focus and distribute recipes and shopping lists from Steph Gaudreau of Stupid Easy Paleo.
Q:    Does the program include a meal plan?
A: No, you don’t get a meal plan with Unapologetically Strong Coaching. We don’t do the one-size-fits-all prescriptive plan thing, but you will receive new recipes every week (shopping list included) for foods that will support your activity levels.
Q: Why buy coaching? Can’t I read some online articles for free?
A: Yes, of course. There is plenty of quality info out there for you, and you could very well take the time to sort through it, experiment with it, see if it works, take what works and discard what doesn’t and keep experimenting. It would be a lot of work, but you could do it.
But if you truly want to become a better lifter, you need to have a coach, if even for a short period. (I even have one myself and she is terrific!) You can only take yourself so far before you need another set of eyes on you that can identify your weak points and help you shore them up. A really great article or book may inspire you to create change, but the stickiest, most transformative changes tend to come from working with another human.
Q: There are so many different online coaching programs out there — what makes Unapologetically Strong Coaching different?
A: The most important thing I do is introduce you to the concept of intuitive training, so that you can learn how to improve your strength without beating up your body. The end goal is for you to know enough about your body to progress your training and sustain your healthy eating habits on your own. If that doesn’t set this program apart, I don’t know what does!
This won’t be an “on the program” or “off the program” situation. Once you have the concept practiced and down, it will stick with you for life.
You’ll also have a highly committed coach (that’s me!) and your teammates looking out for you, encouraging you, and celebrating you. You could go purchase a cookie-cutter program and try to work through it on your own, but what fun is that?!
Years of experience have taught me that working alongside a patient and empathetic coach and peers with common goals can makes things easier and more fun than you thought possible, while also helping fast-track your progress.
Q: I still have more questions, how can I find out more?
A: Leave your question in the comments below or head HERE and let’s talk it out! I would love to hear from you.
