🩺 Holding Steady Through the Strain – June 30, 2025

 

🌅 Morning Check-In

I woke up dizzy, full-on vertigo 🤢, so I stayed in bed and took my meds. I’m almost certain I skipped my blood-pressure pill because my heart went wild later. Lesson logged.

📟 Heart & Glucose

  • Apple Watch pinged me three times while I was sitting quietly: 102–108 bpm at 4:41 PM, 101–107 bpm at 5:57 PM, 99–105 bpm at 6:31 PM 💓

  • CGM line stayed calm 📈, just a gentle bump after lunch, then coasting in the green zone all evening. No hypos, no scary spikes.

💊 Supplement & Med Stack

✅ All the usual suspects
🚫 GLP-1 Activate (I’ve ditched it, zero benefit)
🚫 NeuroGum
❓ BP med, probably missed

🥗 Macros (MyFitnessPal)

  • Carbs 174 g, Sugar 80 g

  • Protein 130 g

  • Fat 36 g

  • Fiber 18 g 🙌, so the carbs didn’t slam my blood sugar

📊 Welltory Snapshot

  • Stress 80 % 😤

  • Energy 39 % 🔋

  • Health 100 % 🛡️

  • HRV 20 % ↘️

  • Coherence 0 %
    My body ran on fight-or-flight all day, yet it never crashed. That’s resilience at work.

📝 What Today Taught Me

Vertigo plus missed meds equals tachy trouble. Even so, stable glucose and a decent protein hit kept me upright. Tracking everything turned a rough day into data I can use.

🔄 Plan for July 1

  1. Put BP meds next to my toothbrush, no excuses 🪥

  2. Front-load protein and fiber at breakfast 🍳

  3. Sip at least 90 oz water with one electrolyte packet 💧

  4. Gentle walk if the room stops spinning 🚶‍♀️

  5. Three minutes of box breathing before lights out 😮‍💨

Some days thriving is overrated, staying steady counts. I stayed steady. 💪

💩 From Bloated to Balanced: How These Enzymes Saved Me Mid-Tirzepatide Constipation

Image
 I don’t usually write about what happens  after  dinner… but let’s just say yesterday deserved a post. I’m on  week 147 of tirzepatide  (shoutout to my Friday night injection crew), and despite having my routine mostly dialed in, I got hit hard with  brick wall  constipation this week. No warning. Just... 💥 stuck. So I did what I regularly do: I reached for my  Physician’s Choice Digestive Enzymes . I bought them a while back for “just in case” moments. Yesterday? It was the  case . And y’all — they worked. But this post isn’t just about relief. It’s about understanding what you’re actually putting in your body — especially when you're navigating the layered effects of GLP-1s like tirzepatide. Let’s unpack the  ingredient blend  and why it matters: 🧪 What’s Inside These Capsules — And Why It Works These enzymes go way beyond the basics. Here’s what you’re really getting in every serving: 1. Protease Blend (5 Types) Breaks down pr...

🌀 Sunday Check-In: Rainy Walks, Superhero Dreams & Nervous System Wins

Image
  📅 Date:  June 15, 2025 📍 Location:  Central New Jersey 🌧️ Weather:  Cool, rainy, peaceful 🧠 Mood:  Grounded, calm, and fully content ☀️ Morning Reflection I spent the day in Central Jersey, where I stay about half the week. The weather was moody—cool and rainy—but that didn’t stop me from getting out for  two walks , including a peaceful loop through  Colonial Park , which always resets me mentally. Last night’s sleep was solid, but the  dreams were something else . I’m in  week 147 on Tirzepatide , and I’ve definitely noticed a trend with increasingly vivid REM cycles. Last night’s were full-on  superhero mode —not bad dreams, just chaotic, detailed, and fast-paced. My subconscious was on a mission. 📊 Morning vs. Evening Metrics What started as a lower-energy, high-stress morning completely reversed by early evening. My body flipped into full parasympathetic recovery, and the numbers backed it up: I didn’t nap, overdo it, or stre...

June 18 – Metrics Blog: From Burnout to Recovery Mode 💥➡️🌿

Image
 Woke up this morning knowing something was off—and my metrics confirmed it. At  7:47 AM , stress was already at  59% 😬 , energy was dragging at  35% 🪫 , and although my  health resilience was 100% 🟢 , my  HRV was only 24% 📉 , which explained the low stamina. I chalked it up to cumulative system strain, probably from trying to push through earlier in the week without giving myself enough recovery time. By  1:44 PM , things had taken a sharper turn. My  stress spiked to 97% 🔥 , energy dropped to  12% ⚠️ , and coherence took a hit at  35% 🤯 . HRV tanked at  1% 🧨 , and my nervous system was stuck in full sympathetic overdrive 🏃‍♀️💨. Brain fog kicked in, and I knew right away that decision-making and mental focus were compromised. Welltory even warned me to postpone anything important—and it wasn’t wrong. But the twist? Despite that crash,  my health resilience stayed rock solid at 100% 🧬  all day. That’s not nothing...
