hair started shedding at month 4 and stopped at month 9, protein and patience. Making the case below, and I expect to lose some of it in the comments. Nobody warned me…
Check-in as promised in the title: resting heart rate up 7bpm, week 6, is that a thing. The fatigue turned out to be that I was eating about a third of what I thought I…
