  • I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and tachycardia as a skinny teenager, and I’m healthier than I’ve been since childhood now, in my late 30s. You’re not automatically doomed!

    I went thru 4 or 5 meds initially, and finally settled on a beta blocker, which i love because it has anti-anxiety effects. I was also on a second med for a long time, but my numbers are finally getting better as i get older.

    I know it sounds lame, but yoga helps me so much. I haven’t had an easy life, I’m queer and sorta lived in my car here and there, but yoga helps me feel less out-of-control.





  • Not op, but I eat very little meat, and when i stay with vegan friends and eat their food it takes me longer to feel dirty. Its wild.

    Cutting red meat & fast food made the biggest difference, followed by other meat, then dairy, in body smell.

    Now that i think about it, i play sports and get very cuddly with vegans and i can’t remember ever noticing anyone smelling too bad, which is surprising.

    I have started trying to eat closer to vegan before we visit, because I definitely notice the difference on myself and my wife.
