I have a lot of autoimmune type symptoms, joint pain/inflammation etc. Keto has _greatly_ reduced my joint pain and helped me manage depression as well. Highly recommend chatting with your doctor about it 🤗

Agree with WM! I have a couple autoimmune issues and keto has helped because it removes the inflammatory foods.

Keep it simple in the beginning and don’t try to do too many keto substitutes for other foods. Calculate your macros and track what you eat. Make sure you get enough healthy fats. My first week was pretty much all eggs, cheese, avocado, salads, bacon, grilled meat or fish, broccoli and cauliflower rice - a lot of cooking with olive oil, coconut oil and butter

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!
