The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
To add onto this, my understanding is that there is some percentage of the population for whom oral vitamin D supplementation does nothing unless you also supplement vitamin K. I took D3 for a year every day consistently and it had no effect on serum levels. Once I started taking a D3/K2 supplement, it rose to normal levels and I feel great.
Yeah but that's true for everyone, and perhaps much more so for some individuals. The body doesn't really know where to put all the incoming D vitamin unless it has enough K2.
It's important to get the right type of K2, too. Trans-menaquinone-7 (MK-7) is the right type. I take the one from Life Extension. It's kinda expensive. I take it once every 2 days, and D3 daily. shrug
