The myth of normal by Gabor mate

Agree. So much more work needs to be done, but it gives me hope that people are finally becoming aware of the gaps in healthcare for women.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Welcome!!! Can’t wait to connect on here.

I’ve never been introduced that way before but I will take it! Hi!

Vegetables work too

I’m not. I’m a grad student in school to become a psychotherapist. I pursued a six month breathwork certification, as I believe it’ll support my clinical work as a somatic processing therapeutic modality. I definitely invested in the training, but with the motive of better supporting the people I will serve through my work.

Hey - thanks for keeping me honest on this. You’re totally right, my math was way off. That’s why I’m in a non-technical profession lol. I also saved the meta-analysis you shared. Lots of powerful data in there.

This is awesome. I’d love to connect with her when she joins!

Aside from what Nostr has taught me about Bitcoin, I’m so fucking grateful to have been introduced to decentralized social media.

Prior to being on nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg , I didn’t really talk about the things I care about on the internet. It felt counterintuitive and dishonest to talk about health on centralized platforms that consciously make us sick.

I’m so thankful that Nostr has given me somewhere to start playing with my voice. It has given me hope and community.

I’m wholly convinced of its ability to create a free, autonomous, creative, and connected global community. A healthier society.

We just need to keep sparking our neighbors’ fires.

Thanks so much! Happy to be here.

LOL

I’m very grateful for them

This is a super fair point. There was definitely a naivety present, but what I meant was that I hadn’t made the critical connection between money and health until I joined Nostr. Hope this helps.

Hi!

I just got back from a breathwork retreat in Hawaii and learned that @jackmallers shared the story of how I became a Bitcoiner through introducing me to @primal.

Jack’s right, I’ve never been very interested in money (or at least I thought I wasn’t). What I am interested in is people, our integrated health, and the implications it has on collective society.

Nostr helped me to understand Bitcoin not only as a superior monetary technology, but an unparalleled humanitarian tool. Here’s why I’m so bought in:

- It’s been proven over and over that safety is the foundation of integrated health

- Centralized unsound money = collective lack of safety

- Decentralized sound money = collective safety

- Collective safety = better integrated health & healthier society

It’s really as simple as that for me.

I’m grateful Jack shared my story because it perfectly illustrates how change happens. By making it matter to people in a way that sparks their fire. Jack is really good at that.

My spark has been lit. I look forward to lighting my neighbor’s through honesty, connection, and freedom - three tenets of bitcoin that make me a believer.

Thank you! That means a lot

Re last post, I strongly believe that PMDD impacts more than 3% of people who menstruate. The 8% figure makes a lot more sense to me.

I think about the implications of lack of awareness and access to care in lower socioeconomic / less wealthy environments constantly. Imagine how many women don’t have access to diagnosis + care who are forced to live a nightmare plagued by severe mood swings, depression, intense irritability, panic attacks, and fatigue — to name a few. These women have no choice but to believe that there is something inherently wrong with them because they don’t possess the ability to maintain relationships, show up to work, comprehensively function in their day to day lives for half of every single month. It’s a very real disorder with very real consequences when untreated.

It took me over 5 years to get a diagnosis and I’m an affluent, upper middle class white woman.

The lack of funding for PMDD research is yet another example of a systemic failure by a government that gets paid to protect its citizens. I see none of that happening. Shocker!

The more you know….

I’m hell bent on bringing awareness to this Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder.

If roughly 2.3 million American women suffer from PMDD and the suicide rate of those with PMDD is 34%, that means an estimated 782,000 women are dying from this disorder annually.

WHY ISN’T THIS BEING ADDRESSED????????

The top down narrative surrounding these hugely powerful modalities in healing people who are sick is disgusting. I’m so sorry to hear about your family member. We need to keep talking about this so the conversation shifts for future generations.

I totally agree with you. I’m grateful that this tool is getting to people. It’s frustration with how corrupt the system is. But thank you for reminding me to see the light :)
