I have all the equipment to start kratky hydro like Frosty and now NaevaTheRat but I haven't really gotten started. To be honest I think my new project has been my personal health, I was more tired than usual and having headaches and this caused me to actually go to the doctor for the first time in a few years. They were of course extremely unhelpful so I downloaded a medical textbook from Anna's archive https://annas-archive.org/md5/b99067cc9d12841cc79f85ae6c62df76 and read about diagnosis and treatment and then went to aliexpress and bought medical equipment. I've learned I had high blood pressure so I've been taking steps to change that dynamic, mostly by increasing the amount of greens I eat by a lot, exercising every day and trying to get less mad at my job and its been working. Now I am trying to figure out why I'm not sleeping well and doing daily monitoring. I think I have OSA so I'm going to try to lose 10 lbs (which is apparently much harder than I thought, a few years ago I lost 36 kilo with major life style change but losing 4 is taking forever) and research the mouth guards. There is so much misinformation and bullshit though it is hard to know though lol.

Had to look up the kratky hydro thing but looks pretty neat!

Also i hate how unhelpful doctors are. Product of healthcare systems trying to churn patients out as fast as possible. Hope you're able to lose the weight and figure out the rest of the health stuff.

The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.
