I used to be able to juice for 14 days. Sometimes 10 days. Now on day one I feel so lightheaded and at nights starting to feel anxious fast heart.

Has this happened to anyone? I’m on day 2 and was hoping to complete at least 3 but seems impossible.

Hi! Has anyone’s anxiety gone away after reaching a healthy weight? I’ve developed some health anxiety after a panic attack. Wondering if once being less inflamed I’ll feel better.

Hi! I would love to hear any symptoms that have improved after fixing iron levels.

I’ve been having some heart tightness, panick attacks. I’ve been told I’m fine by doctors and seems the only thing I’m low on is iron.

Hey everyone, I’m wondering if anyone here has experienced anxiety that feels more physical (like heart sensations) and found out it was related to low iron.

Recently I’ve been having episodes where I feel anxious out of nowhere, mostly triggered by feeling my heartbeat. I’ve been checked by doctors and told everything looks “fine,” but my labs have consistently shown that I’m on the low side for iron, and I’ve even had doctors mention it in the past. It’s just always been brushed off as “normal for women,” so I never made it a priority.

Now I’m starting to wonder if there could be a connection. Has anyone here dealt with something similar and noticed improvement once they addressed their iron levels?

Has anyone had anxiety that feels more physical than mental?

I had a panic attack last year (didn’t even know what it was at the time), and ever since then I get random waves triggered by heart sensations. It’s like I notice my heartbeat and then feel anxious.

It usually goes away after a couple days, but lately it’s been happening more and I feel super hyperaware. I’ve already been checked by a doctor and I’m fine.

I have been much better at ignoring those bursts of physical anxiety but it’s still there and still takes a toll.
Just wondering if anyone has gone through this and actually overcame it, what helped?

Anyone who experiences physical sensation type anxiety after a bad day of eating?

I feel like when I eat bad the day after I can feel pretty anxious. Is that a thing?

I ate very very clean last week. I’ve been dealing with physical anxiety. Like hyper aware of sensations. I believe it’s rooted from me knowing I’ve been eating very bad for years and scared of the effects.
Well, I’ve been eating really clean and ate some UPF for two days. Quite a bit.
Next day anxiety out of the roof. Never felt guilt eating so mentally I was fine but the body sensations were there.

Has anyone dealt with something like this?
Anxiety after eating this type of food?

I had a panick attack a yr ago and have been more hyper aware of sensations. Does anyone else get random heart pin feelings?
Like no anxious thought at all and then random pins or tightness on your left side??

I’ve been to the drs multiple times and they insist I’m fine.
Got a two week monitor & all blood tests came back fine.

But I’ll be having a great day the feel heart sensations randomly and that is what then makes my feel anxious.

I had a panic attack a year ago and developed some health anxiety. If I feel chest sensations it can make me spiral, I feel like I’m about to have a stroke and so on. I’ve gone to the doctors multiple times and they said I’m fine.

I was ready to “lock in” get back in shape so i thought to order supplements.
I ordered magnesium glycinate because if your follow doctors, creators, they always talk about magnesium. I thought to get glycinate because I’d take it at night and saw its meant to relax. Who doesn’t want to relax especially when feeling anxious.

Anyways, for a whole month I felt so low mood. Out of body, floaty head, feeling depressed way more anxious. I had only dealt with hyper awareness of my body sensations after that panick attack but now it was more mental. Luckily I’ve never experienced depression until this past month. I went to the DR for chest sensations they said it was anxiety and they recommended SSRI’s. I denied.

(Another tip: if you’re a side sleeper don’t sleep on your left side. It can cause tightness which then we confuse with heart sensations.)

Don’t bed rot, it causes the same.

Anyways,

I came across a post of someone asking if they’ve felt worse taking this supplement.
I then logged into my Amazon to see when I got the magnesium delivered and it was a month ago…
As soon as it arrived I was taking consistently every single night.
It was the whole month I took magnesium glycinate I was feeling like shit.

I researched and found actual studies claiming magnesium has negative side effects. Exactly what I was feeling.
Apparently a lot of people get these side effects.

I immediately stopped. Tell me why I feel like myself again.

This is your reminder that for supplements just how they work for good the can work for bad if you react negatively to them.

I also feel like maybe I didn’t react well because I sleep very well, and have a very chill day to day and maybe it’s for people who are more go go go.
Just a thought.
Anyways, hope I can help someone bc it was truly a dark month for me.

Let the binge wave pass

TIP- don’t listen to intuitively eating when you are just starting out trying to be binge free because we are not wired to that. Don’t have trigger foods “intuitively” bc then we end up binging. Once you have a more stable relationship with food, then slowly introduce. And don’t binge sounds easy to say huh but we have to wire our brains to have foods without binging. Because our brains are wired to binge. You are strong. You CAN do it. Once you go past those tough days it gets easier.

Learn how to cook! Biggest tip. Meaning learn how to season, how to properly cook chicken, meat etc so that it’s tasty!

What has helped me is saying to myself
“The food is always going to be there, next week, next month etc.”
Why act like it’s the last time I’m ever going to see this certain food ever again.

What also helps me is thinking about the foods nutritional value. Everything we ingest has an effect. Rather than just thinking about weightloss let’s think about “it’s for my health”

I’m in day 4 and have zero urge to binge. ZERO bc I think how eating a certain way can have health risks.
We all deserve to feel confident.

That binge wave is going to pass. Either you let it pass or you binge. But it’s going to pass. So let it pass with no binge.

It’s all
Over the place but some tips!

You guys got this!!!

Let the binge wave pass

I have always struggled with fluctuating weight. Since middle school. I’m now 27. I went up to 199 my highest and went down to like 140 then gained 30 lbs back then went down to 126 now back to 166. In my journey to loose weight again.
I struggle with binge eating. I blame it on my mom, jk.. Maybe it’s just me. But she was an almond mom. Still is… she will chew food then spit it just to get the taste. But she also eats very intuitively. Lots of self control when eating unhealthy foods.
I remember she’d only buy soda to my skinny brother and wouldn’t let my sister and I have some bc we were chubbier. Shes have us eat Special K cereal. We’d go to subway and she’d pick out the bread to make it thin. I now as an adult get she was trying to have me loose weight but at the time I’d see it differently. So I don’t blame her.
Always whole wheat bread. until highschool I was aware eating white bread was normal. Condiments? What are those? Anyways.

Maintenance is really hard for me, I’ve learned that the “fat cells “ we have created never go away even when loosing weight they shrink. Which why is can be hard to maintain and your hunger hormone is there. Anyways,

One really interesting fact is that major tobacco companies actually bought huge processed food companies in the 1980s and helped shape modern ultra-processed foods….

Tabaco. A substance that’s made to be addictive….

So don’t be hard on your self when you don’t understand why it’s hard to put it down. It’s been purposely made for you to want more…

Hi guys, I wanted to share something in case it helps someone else here. After my first panic attack, I mostly dealt with physical anxiety and body sensations, but it would usually pass within a few days and I’d feel normal again.

Recently though, I’ve been in a weird funk for about a month, low mood, feeling detached from myself, emotionally flat, fatigued, and just not feeling like myself. Around the same time, I had started taking magnesium glycinate daily because I saw so many people recommend it for anxiety.

I started researching it more after coming across posts from people describing similar experiences. From what I found, magnesium glycinate helps a lot of people, but there are also reports of some people experiencing side effects like fatigue, emotional blunting, brain fog, increased anxiety sensations, palpitations, chest sensations, or feeling overly sedated/“off.” Glycine itself also acts on calming neurotransmitter systems in the brain, which may affect people differently.

From what I could find, there isn’t strong evidence that magnesium glycinate commonly causes depression or heart issues, but there are documented side effects involving drowsiness, confusion, nervous system effects, and some people seem to have paradoxical reactions to it.

Looking back, the timing lines up for me personally, so I’m going to stop taking it and see if I improve. Obviously this doesn’t mean magnesium glycinate is bad or that everyone reacts this way . I just wanted to share in case anyone else has been feeling unusually “off” after starting it.

Again, it may obviously not apply to everyone but your friendly reminder that just because something works for a lot of people doesn’t meant it will for you.

Recently though, I’ve been in a weird funk for about a month, really low mood, feeling detached from myself, missing my old self, low motivation, etc. Around the same time, I had started taking magnesium glycinate daily because I saw so many people recommend it for anxiety.

I came across some posts from other people saying magnesium glycinate seemed to worsen depressive symptoms or make them feel emotionally numb/flat. I looked into it more, and while magnesium helps a lot of people, there are also some reports and discussions of certain people reacting poorly to it especially feeling fatigued, low, detached, overly calm/sedated, or “not like themselves.”

Looking back, the timing lines up for me, so I’m going to stop taking it and see if I improve. Obviously this doesn’t mean magnesium glycinate is bad or that everyone reacts this way, but I wanted to share because I know a lot of us with anxiety take it automatically assuming it can only help.

Curious if anyone else has experienced something similar.

I found a couple studies such as

“A common amino acid, glycine, can deliver a “slow-down” signal to the brain, likely contributing to major depression, anxiety and other mood disorders in some people, scientists at the Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology have found.”

For those who have upped their iron has it helped you and in what ways?

I’ve been on the low side, not anemic but slightly low and going to start prioritizing. Thinking of taking iron blood builder.

I’ve been slightly lightheaded and all other blood tests came back great except iron.

I’ve been feeling so good and then yesterday I woke up with a fast heart pulse and today it happened again at 4AM. I was so close to going into panick and considering going to the hospital but I pushed through it, fell back asleep and feel back to normal now. This is a new thing for me and navigating it can be stressful. I don’t want to go on meds. I have gone to ER twice and doctors once. First time I went I called 911. It seems like it was a panick attack. This was 9 months ago. I was fine for many many months and then out of nowhere those panic symptoms came back but hasn’t left for a month! Before it was panic attacks for a few minutes then life back to normal. But now it’s been on and off for a month.

I’m hoping someone has beat anxiety without meds and can share or if they’ve had a similar experience.
