🧬 Monday, June 9, 2025 – A Puffier Day in the System, But Glucose Stayed Sharp

 Today was one of those “my face looks like it’s storing acorns” kind of mornings. I woke up visibly swollen—my rings didn’t fit, and my face was rounder than usual. This is a familiar sign of a Hashimoto’s flare for me, and paired with some autonomic imbalance and lower energy, it pretty much confirmed what my body was already whispering.

📉 Glucose & Metabolic Data (Libre 3 CGM)

  • Midday Glucose: 106 mg/dL → Stable

  • No overnight lows or post-meal spikes
    ✅ Glucose remained in the green zone all day—even with elevated sugar intake.

🧠 Welltory + Apple Watch Vitals

Stress / Energy / Health

  • ⏰ 12:42 PM: 60% / 41% / 100%

  • ⏰ 9:19 PM: 82% / 27% / 100%

⚠️ Evening stress surged to 82% while energy dropped to 27% — definitely evidence of a system that stayed in overdrive all day. But health resilience held at 100%, showing my body is compensating well, just working hard to do it.

🔁 Nervous System Balance

  • AM: SNS 31 / PSNS 28

  • PM: SNS 57 / PSNS 19
    → Clear sympathetic (fight/flight) dominance most of the day

  • Coherence:

    • Morning: 8% (very low)

    • Evening: 62% (recovered to average)
      🌀 Rebounded nicely—probably due to dinner timing and calmer environment.

  • HRV: 25% (low)
    → Consistent with overall swelling, fatigue, and the effort my system is putting in to manage inflammation and recovery.

🥗 Nutrition Snapshot (1,454 of 1,650 kcal)

  • Protein: 100g (goal 146g)

  • Carbs: 167g (goal 126g)

  • Sugar: 121g (goal 49g)

  • Fiber: 11g (goal 21g)

  • Fat: 50g (goal 65g)

✅ Glucose stability held despite high sugar
⚠️ Fiber and protein still need to be bumped up
🍹 VitaHustle shake w/ Lactaid milk added in late day to help close protein gap

💊 Medications + Supplement Stack

  • Medications: NP Thyroid, Lopressor

Supplements Taken:

🩺 Hashimoto’s Flare Watch

  • Facial swelling (cheeks/under eyes)

  • Rings didn’t fit (fluid retention)

My Honest Review: Force Factor Hair Growth Accelerator Chews with Lustriva

Image
 If you’ve ever stood in the supplement aisle staring at a hundred different “hair growth” products, not knowing what actually works — I see you. I’ve been there. I’ve tried the oils, the scalp massages, the expensive shampoos… and while some things helped here and there, nothing really stuck. That changed when I discovered  Force Factor Hair Growth Accelerator Chews  — and yes, I’m officially a two-pack girl now. Why I Started Using Hair Growth Chews For me, it wasn’t about overnight results. I wanted something simple, consistent, and actually nourishing — not just for my hair, but for my overall wellness. These chews stood out because of the  Lustriva™ Complex , a blend designed to support thicker, stronger, and shinier hair over time. They’re soft chews (think: tasty little gummies), and you take two a day. Each pouch has 60, so that’s a full month’s supply. I ordered a two-pack from the jump because I caught a bundled deal — and I’m glad I did. More on that in a ...

🗓️ Saturday, June 29-Sun 30th, 2025 Running on Fumes, But Built to Last

Image
 I clocked in a fantastic night of sleep—9 hours and 28 minutes in bed with 8 hours and 21 minutes of solid rest. My sleep quality came in at 96%, with over 5 hours combined in REM and deep stages. That’s the kind of recovery sleep I wish I could bottle up and save for Mondays. Despite that great start, today felt like I was walking with a quiet weight on my back. By evening, my Welltory stress hit  79%  and my energy dipped to  28% , even though my health score stayed rock solid at  100%  all day. The stress spike seems to tie in with the emotional weight of heading back into that toxic work environment tomorrow. I can feel it in my body before I’ve even clocked in. My glucose stayed stable for most of the day, with just a moderate post-meal spike around dinner. No crashes, which is always a win in my book. Nutrition-wise, I hit  1,602 calories  out of my 1,650 goal. Macros were a bit off-balance: Protein:  86g (short 58g) Carbs:  174g ...

🧨 Friday, July 5 – Post-Fourth Reset & Breakthrough Check-In 🎇 END of the 10 month rollercoaster and “STALL"

Image
I've had losing phases over the last 10 months, but they were always short-lived, frustratingly inconsistent, and often followed by rebounds. The backstory matters: last September, my doctor had to lower my dose of tirzepatide from 12.5 mg to 7.5 mg—not because of blood sugar meds (I don’t take any), but due to repeated  reactive hypoglycemia  episodes. That’s a rare side effect, especially for someone who isn’t diabetic. We couldn’t find 10 mg at the time, so we dropped to 7.5—and it completely backfired. I gained, my inflammation returned, and I felt like I was trapped in my own body again. Eventually, I pushed to try 10 mg again. I couldn’t get the brand version, so I switched to a  compounded GLP-1/GIP mix through AMBLE , and things started to level out. But for months, the journey has been rocky. Even while eating right and staying active, progress felt elusive—mirroring the way things were before medication. The one major factor always working against me?  Slee...
