You might consider the new Echolight scan https://www.echolightmedical.com/en/. I just had mine done last week and prefer it to the DEXA. There are not many locations that offer this new type of scan, but I was fortunate to be able to have it done 40 miles from my home in Asheville, NC.

Purchased CBD tincture and dh has slept much better every night since he started to take it.

Looking at reviews and price I am considering this https://www.lazarusnaturals.com/cbd-oil-tincture-full-spectrum-high-potency#188=5442&205=5493 Any other recommendations? Thank you

I am new to "wearables." I would like something to track sleep, glucose, and fitness. I would like to have the option to add other health related monitoring apps to it if that is possible. Recommendations please? Thank You!

We will read and discuss 1 book a month. They will be based on the Christian faith and try to avoid religion, history, and politics. I think we will start with Mere Christianity and discuss as a group the next books. I will present a list of options. Thank you for the suggestions. I will look at them.

I am attempting to start a Classic Theological Book Discussion Group at my local library. We will have our first meeting 9/21. I will be presenting a list of possible book options (1 per month). I am gleaning lists from the internet. Do you have any "must include" recommendations for the list? Thank You.

I live in the prettiest part of the state-Western North Carolina (Saluda, NC for 26 years and Hendersonville, NC for 4 years prior). I love it and it is a great place to raise a family and homeschool. Just an endorsement for WNC🙂

https://getupandgotours.com/ Dh and I went last summer with this group and it was fantastic. We were able to adventure much more than we would have on our own, less expense and headache. We combined the Alaska explorer and the Kenai Explorer. We were able to tour/adventure quite a bit of Alaska.

Yes, I also have the teacher free app. I really like it and have enjoyed the "Daily Calm" and the Master Classes. I have since moved into unguided meditation, but the guided meditation was great to learn from.

If you do decide to backpack on Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, take the boat tour when you're done and see the beautiful shoreline from the lake. https://picturedrocks.com/

The ferry is costly and it is hard to get tickets, but Isle Royale is worth it. It is the least visited national park, but the one most often visited repeatedly. No vehicles, mostly day hikers who stay at the lodge, backpackers, kayakers, and fisher people. Moskie Basin was my favorite area to camp (I didn't camp at all areas).

I backpacked Pictured Rocks trail and about 50 miles in Isle Royale last summer and it was absolutely fabulous. Wolves howling, loons calling, bald eagles, and moose (mostly at Isle Royale). I highly recommend anything along Lake Superior, It is beautiful. We backpacked for about 10 days. The weather was glorious also.

I am intending to learn Hindi and am looking primarily at Pimsleur and eventually italki. I am most interested in speaking and understanding the language. Will adding the additional option for learning to read and write the language enhance my ability to learn conversational Hindi or bog me down? With limited time and energy just a consistent 30 minutes will be a challenge. I do want to make the most of my endeavor and gain a measure of fluency and success. Thank you.

I know that exercise, diet, learning a foreign language, playing a musical instrument, close family and friends-socialization, meditation, new experiences, and a peaceful mind are huge in correlation for brain health longevity. I am curious if their is also a strong significance with brain challenges-crossword puzzles, mystery solving, anagrams, acronyms, thinking fast games, etc. Thank you.

For brain challenge and health. Thanks

Thank you. I will look into the FODMAP diet as I have digestive issues also.

That is fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

With being plant based, do you find that you tend to eat a lot of starchy carbohydrates-grains, legumes, underground vegetables? I am concerned that I would let go of overt sweeteners (deserts and added sweeteners and find myself consuming lots of sugars through grain, vegetable, legume carbohydrates. Thank you for the advice.

This is what I want!

Very wise! Thank you for such valuable encouragement.

1. Cold turkey or step-down? 2. Cheat opportunities? How often? 3. Over time, have your desires for sweets declined? 4. Benefit testimonies? Motivation? 5. Support systems-necessary? 6. Baking? Holidays? I am going sugar/sweetener free for health benefits and disciplining my eating habits (sweets, alcohol, and eating in front of a screen tend to push me beyond my set limits, because self-discipline disappears:( Thanks!

Always Welcome! Western North Carolina is beautiful. We are eating at 7 so come quickly!🙂
