Hello all, I know this is a Hims sub, but there doesn’t seem to be a Hers equivalent and I’m just starting out the Hers version of the weightloss program and thought it would be helpful to make a post detailing all the things I wish I would have known myself when deciding to take the plunge. First

Hey everyone, I’ve been dealing with anhedonia and severe executive dysfunction since childhood (around age 10-12). Traditional medications—like stimulants, Vortioxetine, and Bupropion—have acted like literal sugar pills for me. Zero positive effects, zero side effects. It’s like my brain just does

So a couple of years ago my doctor suggested that I do a low-fat diet with 6-7 small 250cal meals per day, basing them on whole grains and some very lean protein with a fruit, and taking orlistat with meals that had more fat than usual. I tried that and f
