i just realized when i was talking about doen later in the vlog i actually was thinking of christy dawn! doen is indeed doing a huge warehouse sale (thank god), but the dress i put on the screen is from christy dawn & when i talked about isabel wearing those pieces i was ALSO thinking of christy dawn! *face palm* i always mix them up. either way-- with the sales on doen i could finally afford to invest in some pieces from them too! yay!
I'm learning about the endocrine system in my biology class right now so it's really fascinating to hear you talk about hormones and hormone health. Love to see it!
I feel so calm watching your videos❤️ I love how long they are too because when I am trying to keep my mind off of sad things watching you makes me want to be happier and take care of myself. Thank you❤️
i am dealing with similar hormone issues and i hear you and im with you. i have been on the line of pre diabetic my whole life and have been diagnosed with PCOS for a decade. i’ll be seeing an endocrinologist in a few weeks!! i’m finally getting it under control and even though i dont want to have children, im so excited to get my body feeling good!!! the imbalance is affecting my mental health so heavy. im so happy for things to be looking up! i love you so dearly meghan and im sending you so much love 💜
Not me nodding along as you're talking bc I'm listening so intently 🙄😂 I'm happy you're feeling better about this little health hurdle. As someone who's dealt with many, I know it can be so stressful even if to others it seems minor. Our health is such a gift so I'm glad you're in a positive place where you can prioritize it! ❤Always sending love even though I'm an absolute flop and hardly ever comment bc I usually watch on TV.
Hi friend ♡ I go to a yoga flow class 2-3X a week and my mental health has greatly improved. With the stressors of adult daily life, it's a genuine reset. I take a 10mg edible beforehand and it is golden. Happy about Malcolm's recovery 🩷 Love, A fellow mushie lover yogi 🧘🏻♀️
My nutritionist said to make sure I get 20-25 grams of protein with each meal as this helps balance out blood sugar (and thus hormones) from carbs + fat. I have been doing this and lowered my overall blood glucose levels (testing after 3 months). I had bad PMS and this really helped. Now use I close to no painkillers and do not get migraines around period. Just a tip!
Have you thought about getting ladybugs for your farm to eat your tiny little crawlers? Anywho, love these. what a joy it is to watch you living your ol McDonald dream!
@@meghanhughes Oh cool! Always wondered :-) Thank you for being vulnerable on your recent vlogs. You're normalizing how HARD it is to fit into a mold (and why it's okay to not fit a mold) and you working your ass off by working out has inspired my workout journey as well! -Bless from Texas
I once befriended a girl I met at the gym, couldn't remember her name for the life of me. And I went almost 8 months without knowing until someone else said name. 😅 when I tell you the relief I felt. Haha I didn't wanna ask her.
i’m just sharing them for the first tier on my patreon at the moment 💛 it became feeling like too many people to update on every heartbreak or sliver of hope when i shared on here, so i’m just sharing with a smaller group 🥰
You've probably already explored this, but if you dont have an acupuncturist around you yet I highly recommend you find one! As someone with PMDD it was literally the only thing that helped reduce my hormone issues. It worked so well im now going to integrative medicine school so i can become one!
What a great week, and how fun with the party! I am thinking how cool would it be to rent a bounce house water slide and invite all of your over 60 crowd..... EPIC... Hugs~ Lea
You’re not wrong though, even though I don’t do dance as constantly as I used too (bc I did that age 2-currently) I’ve still got all my flexibility and getting the rest of the body back to my prime :( super self conscious about my tummy area 😮
Those bugs on that zucchini are squash bugs! They suck the nutrients from the plants and kill them eventually if not dealt with! just wanted to let you know because I have a major infestation this year and it's so annoying ❤
Hi! I was wondering if naturally cycle track? If so, do you notice a correlation of difficulty with your PCOS symptoms and your cycle? Thank. you for all that you share, as you are so incredibly helpful!
i was at yoga class once and i took my bf with me bc he knew the instructor and she called for the crow and i couldnt do it after years of yoga and then my bf did it no problem hahaha
love following your journey Meg! all the trials and errors and bops ! first time commenter hehe :) I am curious-- do you know what your human design is? my guess is you're a 4/6 generator (you seem like you have such an inviting enveloping aura!)
Ugh i seriously need to get into an endocrinologist. I also keep playing with the idea of coming off birth control (been on it for literally 15 years) but I feel like I should tackle whatever seems off in my body before doing that 😂 How hard did you have to bully your primary doctor to do the hormonal panel because I know they’re not a fan of it since it’s more expensive?
finley liked his too! but it had a taste in it that WOULD NOT GO AWAY! it was like stuck in the cap or something & no matter what we tried it just tasted terrible. he is still using it occasionally, but wanted the yeti for water throughout the day
I'd be curious to hear about where you are on your sustainability journey. I came to your vlogs when that content was more prevalent on your channel but finding it's less a part of your life these days? No shame, we all go through ebbs and flows but would love to hear you address it in a future vlog. Thanks Meg!
i’m so glad you asked! it’s still very much a part of my life with growing my own food & purchasing from sustainable companies for most things, but it’s been a struggle with groceries here in VA. in OR, we had an amazing bulk store close to us & here we don’t. i want to get back to a place where i have more bulk access & can make more of my staples as well, but so much of my kitchen equipment is in storage. it’ll happen though i know it!
ok i know this may be super gross and weird but for the last couple months ive been taking a spoon of organix flax oil and a small piece of frozen raw grass fed liver (taking it like a vitamin) and my cycle has been the best its ever been
Obviously PLEASE do your own research.. but I’ve heard the amount of cortisol that is increased via cardio is very minimal. I follow gabbi tuft and she’s great if you wanna look her up! She specializes in women with PCOs
