| You likely don’t need to see anyone. I’ve been fixing my posture lately and your body adapts pretty quickly. You just need to think about it throughout the day and reset yourself. I’ve had excellent results taking responsibility for my own health. |

| I was reading a book about interoception and one of the exercises they suggest to improve interoceptive awareness is to get a heart rate monitor and you can train yourself to become aware of your heart beating. I found a device CorSense that measures HRV and I plan to buy one soon and try it out. I ... |

| I’ve never liked the way beards look on guys and yes stubble does hurt! I’m bi and I like boys who are more feminine. I don’t think any of my boyfriends have even been capable of growing a beard. |

Bamboo sheets and duvet covers are also wonderful. I buy bamboo material and sew my own stuff.
I used to have a strong smell when I had a lot of yeast in my system. Now that my gut is healthier I have no smell at all. |

| I took sulforaphane daily for years as part of a supplement to help me metabolize estrogen. The supplement worked really well for that, which is why I took it for so long. The study above involved only men (moderate to severe) and mentioned that they thought it might work better in autistic people w... |

| ^ I’m the same. When I was a teenager I showered and washed and styled my hair every day. All the other girls were so into clothes so I tried it out for a while too. Now I shower when I need to, wash my hair twice a week and never style it. I wear my same old comfortable clothes until they fall apar... |

| I’ve been working on my posture lately too. The top of my spine was out of alignment and my muscles compensated and my hips and shoulders were uneven and twisted. I had bad posture habits from years of dance classes too: pulling in and holding my abdomen tight and holding my chest so upright that I ... |

Many things can contribute to the dysfunction: poor posture, stress/anxiety, constipation, trauma, chronic pain. If you don’t have access to a pelvic floor physiotherapist there is qui... |
