Thanks for the share, I noticed that I got two separate scores during my last physical and was curious about it!

Thank you so much for sharing this article. As someone with a hereditary kidney condition, I am grateful for this change for myself and others.💜

I live outside of the US, and when I was diagnosed in 2020 with my condition; I immediately went into all interactions with specialiasts with the assumption that they would treat me with a bias.

I have been very blessed that my continuously expanding team of specialists are multi-racial, have globally diverse backgrounds; and support me when I push back or question reports/treatment decisions. I know that I am the exception and not the rule.



Unfortunately as a black people, we continue to have to hyper-advocate for ourselves in medical spaces because Western medicine is built through the lens of white men and how they would potentially experience illness.

I strongly recommend that folks also follow an amazing young man and medical resident by the name of Joel Bervell on all socials. He is a huge reason why a lot of medical diagnostic practices are being reassessed and audited.

I’ve hit a plateau on the keto diet (no weight loss in 3 months). So in addition to walking 5 miles a day (been doing this since month 2), on Sunday I started a Beachbody HIIT workout with weights (21 day fix real time). It’s 30 min workout daily and I’m two workouts in and I can barely move. Also, the muscle cramps are for real! Drinking about 80 ounces of water a day and I soaked in an Epsom salt bath last night, any other tips?

First day of 30mg vyvanse today. Had a rush of energy and hyperfocus (too much so) about 2-4 hours in, but had a complete crash 5hrs after taking the pill (just a wave of fatigue, felt very good after a quick 15min nap actually) and not sure if it had any effect after. Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!

I went to the lease this last weekend. Not one drop of alcohol was had. That was the closest I’ve come to caving. 4 wheelers, killing dinner with big guns, doing manly things in God’s country. Beer is an absolute necessity during these events. Anyhow, I didn’t drink. Proud of myself. Monumental moment for me.

My therapist just told me I'm depressed..do you ever feel like they tell you things you hear a lot or could have figured out on your own? Like take care of yourself, it's ok to feel such and such, etc. I'm still newer to therapy so wondering if that's the common experience? Do you ever have moments where you're like wow that actually is eye opening and I wouldn't have gotten that from reading self help books and websites etc?

I'm trying to estimate the floor of vaccinations to get a sense if the "100 million doses in 100 days" is even possible:

Assumptions
> Approx. 6000 hospitals in the US
> 40 people in a hospital waiting room per hour
> 6 hour workday

= 240 people vaccinated per day x 6000 hospitals
= 1.4 million people vaccinated per day

US bought 100 million of Moderna doses in Aug and additional 100 million doses of Pfizer in Dec = 200 million doses available in total

Am I thinking about this the right way?
