Hi @Stella and welcome to Dubai
To add to Bernadette‘s list, I also like Tashas restaurants, they have 3 locations in Dubai. Salads are really good.
And for the healthier sweet options I like to order from HonestKitchen.
Here to help if you need more input!☺️

Hi @Yasmin atassi , I recently started too look deeper into acne and possible root causes because of my daughter….
Have you ever checked your gut health? Is your liver struggling? What about personal care and make up?
Acne needs inner work as well as what we put on our skin.
I also learnt that not all clean products are necessarily non pore clogging, another cause for acne.
Just a few ideas where to start looking

Hi Daniel, so actually my estrogen has decreased since the last time and since I started DHEA. It was 195, now it is 153

But after I spoke to Bernadette on the call and she hinted to estrogen dominance, I started calculating my progesterone: estrogen ratio, which for this latest test showed clear estrogen dominance with a value of 43.7 and we want the ratio to be 100-500

So I assumed that is why Dr wanted to see me. Today I had my follow up and she suggested we start with topical progesterone. She said in cases of sleep issues she would go with the oral form. Will keep you posted for the follow up in 3 months.

Thank you for your detailed explanation!

@Bernadette Abraham Chaga Chai contains 3 other mushrooms.
I have to try add mushrooms to my food to see. Have not eaten some in a long time.

@Bernadette Abraham I have a feeling it’s the mushrooms, not sure what they are pulling out or maybe just my body does not like them. I stick then to my clean coffee ☺️

[Bahareh]

@Bernadette Abraham thank you, will let her know. Also abt opening up the capsules, if still too much

[Bahareh]

@Bernadette Abraham hi, a friend of mine gives Thorne B complex #6 to her daughter. And she complains about nausea and headaches. I told her that could be a detox reaction. But is it also a sign of how much toxins is in the body?

[Bahareh]

@Bernadette Abraham if someone has trouble breaking down fats due to lack or sluggish bile etc, but they consume good fats in their diet, does that mean that the cell membrane “won’t be fed” properly? Hope you get my point ☺️
Also, if you cannot break down fats, and you take fat soluble vitamins, they will not be absorbed properly?
Too many thoughts

Ok great, thank you !

Hi @Sara Almansoori
Check out Emily Morrow on IG https://www.instagram.com/emilymorrow?igsh=MTRycjMyM2w1dnB5bA==
She has a lot of highlights abt Acne and root causes are as Daniel mentioned.
But she also speaks about pore clogging skin care and cosmetics that on top can worsen acne.

Daniel, thank you so much for your detailed reply!!!

So, I bought their latest model and it fits perfectly. Having said that, I know that my NS has been under enormous stress in the last few years, not only because of my thyroid issue (Hashimotos) but also mentally.

I will for sure share my next blood test results to see how to improve the situation with your help.

I was fully aware of these root causes for dragging my HRV down. Now, let’s go back to how to improve and strengthen the HRV and the vagus nerve. Definitely need to improve perfectionism! Definitely need to address emotional issues.

I already practice the zone 2 cardio, will try the 8 set approach during training.

As for the beneficial foods to support the mitochondria, I am thinking of Protein, Omega 3, eat the rainbow and avoid refined sugars and grains!? But please share more!

Thank you!

I just listened to Dr G’s latest podcast abt the vagus nerve and its relation/impact on HRV.
You need to strengthen the vagal tone, and get into parasympathetic NS with :

1. move exercise
2. Stress management mindfulness
3. Emotional release
4. Sleep hygiene
5. Diet
6. Breathwork
7. Cold exposure
8. Community/ nature

As well as

Gentle touch / hugs etc
Singing
Dancing
Resonant breathing
