I know insomnia is often multifactorial and very individual but one thing I don’t see being talked about enough is the importance of adequate calorie intake. If you are in a calorie deficit your body is going to be stressed and it definitely impacts one’s ability to sleep (not to mention the hormone and blood sugar impact). Eating enough to satisfy emotional hunger and not just physical hunger is also important as food can help calm and regulate the nervous system. I know common sleep hygiene advice often recommends not eating big meals or a lot right before bed but this is not the case for all and for many it can actually help you fall asleep. It’s something fairly easy to do so u you can try eating more for a couple of weeks to see if it helps you and if you are craving something then it is ok to give into that craving.

Hi guys. For those of you who find iron supplements nauseating and/or constipating have you found any particular ones which don’t make you feel sick at all ? I am aware it is prob somewhat individual but even the ones that claim to be gentle on the stomach make me want to spew. I am currently taking kids gummy ones that are ok but they also don’t have much iron.

I haven’t been able to access my trolley or the time slots all day. Is anyone else having a similar issue in the app ? I have signed in and out and deleted and re downloaded the app without success. It just says ‘something went wrong’ when I click on the trolley

My plan ends in a couple of days and I haven’t yet heard from the NDIS but I assume they will be contacting me soon to get a new plan as it has been rolled over for the last 4 years. I am dreading the phone call and am frightened they will cut a lot of my funding in the next plan. For those that have gotten a new plan that wasn’t a big cut what did you say to them in your review. Is it best to say your plan is working well even if it isn’t?

I am not a big Sombr music fan but the lyrics of his latest song- My body isn’t ready are so relatable, they are based on his own personal experiences with body insecurity too so I appreciate his vulnerability

I know the use by date is meant to be much more strict as it is a spoilage and safety issue and the best before is more a product quality issue but am wondering how much attention you all pay to these dates and how far you push the boundaries. Also the days consuming after opening recommendations. If you push the boundaries how often do you get sick ?

Just thought I would share an easy alternative for those that hate protein powder. Cacao powder has about 30g protein /100 g and as long as you are getting cacao powder and not cocoa it is full of other minerals like zinc, iron, magnesium and trace ones as well. I know you wouldn’t eat 100g straight but if you pair a few tablespoons with a sweetener of choice and soy milk or a high protein almond milk you are getting 20g or more protein just in a drink. You can also make a mousse with silken tofu or blend it up in a smoothie with some peanut butter and oats for even more.

I am not keen on taking daily medication as a preventative thing so was wondering if there are any medications that help during an active attack. I know most painkillers won’t do much for nerve pain and the nerve pain ones work best taken consistently but is there anything I can take PRN to help?

As in recommendations for both products not cream cheese.

I know this has probably been shared already but just thought I would share it again in case people missed it as it is our last chance to show support before it is taken to parliament this week. Link to sign here
