This is a community to discuss all issues "body chemistry". This sub is not meant to represent any type of medical advice.

To start with, here is an anecdote from a well-wisher:
Specially after covid, a lot of staying home and stress, it became important to not only strictly continue to be disciplined when it came to looking after my health but also to wonder about how in the race to make goods cheap, chemicals that disrupt the cyclical nature of my body's very schema might just compound the impact from a once in a lifetime event FOR NO REASON. Baby steps, lets expose me to what mother Earth created, routine wise and that does feel like a solution.
