Depression 1 week, 1 day agoI know this is the depression forum, but I wanted to see if anybody knows of someone who has had success with elimination of ruminating OCD thoughts. Am currently starting the 6 week plan with the Ultramind Solution?

Depression 4 weeks agoI hurt my back on Saturday morning and it left me flat. I even fainted on Sunday from the pain! I saw the orthopedist yesterday and had X-Rays, which turned up nothing remarkable. I am on muscle relaxers for 2 weeks and anti-inflammatories for a month and start physical therapy tomorrow. The bad thing is that I cannot do my exercise classes…[Read more]

Gluten 1 month, 3 weeks agoHi. I’ve been on the BSS Advanced Program for four weeks and I’ve lost ten pounds and found a much happier way to eat. What is the Detox program and where can I find it?

Congratulations Rissa on losing 10 lbs and having so much more energy that you don’t need to take a late afernoon nap. You will find as you get more exercise and are feeling better that you will have more and more energy. Regarding the detox program. You can read about all of Dr Hyman’s programs under the Healthy Living Store. But in my opinion…[Read more]

Gluten 2 months agoWow…it’s a ghost town in here. Lets see if we can get some interest. I went gluten free about 3 years ago. It was scary at first. If I can’t have bread, what am I going to eat? I did the best I could and quickly found that there are great, I mean, GREAT, non gluten breads, tortillas, pasta’s, etc. Over about a months time I was…[Read more]

Hi Meg…I have been gluten free , diary free and oats free since starting this program in July. Ive gotten off tylenol and prilosec and as long as I don’t eat any of the above I don’t have any stomach issues. Every couple of months I try to add a little something , but my fasting blood sugars immediately go up. It sometimes a few days depending…[Read more]

Hey Nicole…
Thanks for the reply. I too am gluten free, dairy free, sugar free. I will use some stevia, but sparingly. I had lost 60 lbs, but gained back 20. I want to lose another 50 lbs beyond that. My blood sugars run high normal. I’ve not had my A1C checked, but I wouldn’t be surprised to learn I’m prediabetic. I also have the…[Read more]

Depression 2 months, 1 week agoWe all know that exercise is good for the body. I have heard over and over how exercise is good for your brain as well. My response has always been a skeptical “Sure it is”. I’ve felt a skip in my step for a while after working out, but that was the extent of it.
Well, now I am a believer! I’m reading an awesome book called Spark: The…[Read more]-
No question I’m more alert, focused, calm when I’m working out regularly. Over the years I’ve known I could effectivley “self-medicate” my depression with exercise. Sometimes when a run, or just getting off the couch, seemed utterly impossible to contemplate, I forced myself to go anyway and came home feeling fine, at least for a while . …[Read more]

Hi Vimala, I also feel more clear headed when getting more exercise or movement in. I also need much less sleep when getting a healthy level of exercise.

Hi Lisa…so sorry to hear about your pain.. my husband Phill has regular problems with back issues and goes to a chiropractor regularly. He has even found help with the issue with acupuncture but that gets expensive . Hope you find comfort soon. You might want to think about reducing your carb intake until you are back to exercising. ( ie go back…[Read more]
Good idea, Nicole. I will be extra careful about what I eat while not exercising. Thank you for your words. Lisa
I’m so sorry to hear about your back pain, Lisa. I too suffer from intermittent bouts of back pain. I don’t think it is necessarily due to excess weight. My PT says that strengthening your core/abs is one of the best ways to reduce/eliminate back pain. If your core is weak, it isn’t able to support the spine like it should, resulting in…[Read more]
I thought my core was strong because of all the Pilates and other exercise classes I do plus the walking! I guess I was wrong about that. Thank you for writing. You guys have made me feel a lot better. I will come back stronger than ever!
I’m sorry, I wasn’t implying that your core is weak, Lisa! You mentioned that the weight loss would have taken care of those problems. I was offering another reason for back pain to rear its ugly head even after the excess weight is gone. For all we know, there could be a third reason — it could be totally unrelated to weight and core strength.
Oh Vimala, no need to apologize. I was serious. I guess my core was not as strong as I thought but it is definitely stronger than it used to be and getting stronger (well, at least until this episode with my back LOL). Thank you for your support. This too shall pass and I will be stronger than ever! All the best, Lisa
I forgot to mention that taking anti inflammatories for an extended period have caused weight gain for me. But I lose the extra weight about a week or so after I’m done taking them. So, don’t be too worried if you gain a little weight while on these meds.
Sorry to hear of this turn! It would drive me nuts not to be able to exercise.
It is driving me nuts because today was my day to do aerobic dance and Pilates. I will just have to do some light walking until I can get back into my classes, and as Nicole advised, eat fewer carbs since I won’t be working them off. Thanks! Lisa
Thank you for your wise words. I will take your advice and try out that Peggy Capp yoga position on the wall. All the best, Lisa
Hi Lisa, You do have my sympathy. i have been struggling with knee pain, i finally had a cranial-sacral treatment and that helped. He suggested I go to a chirpractor. Well i went today (I used to go regularly, but stopped a couple years ago) and it really helped! I will be going weekly for the next month.
Good luck with your treatments. Perhaps…[Read more]
Thank you, Margaret. Food for thought. I will be taking it easy and I guess that I what is needed right now. I had been going full tilt for a few months now. All the best, Lisa
Hi Janine, I have always wanted a rocking chair, your wooden one sounds dreamy.
Have you resolved your sleepless issue? I was wondering if you have ever tried melatonin or inositol? Sometimes I think i am feeling so well from BSS living that I just do not get tired. Of course, the next day I know that is not true: )
Blessings, Margaret
Hi, Margaret, I sleep like a log these days, waking only once or maybe twice in the night. I have to eat right to sleep right. ( I nod off in that comfy chair each night!)
Wonderful news Janine, a good nights sleep is such a treasure: )
