Sneak Peek for Next Week
Currently, I’m finishing up a post dedicated to exploring the economic burden of physical inactivity. I examine a paper published in the Lancet Global Health from January 2023, which projects the public healthcare costs and impact of physical inactivity on preventable, non-communicable diseases in the coming decade.

Hubby and I listened to this excellent episode. I wish I’d known about hyperbolic tapering when I began my own, slow tapering journey (3 drugs) in 2022. After listening, we’re convinced I likely would have been spared much of the nightmare of the past year and a half. It’s been hell, but by the goodness and grace of God I’m drug free after being on a plethora of psychotropics for nearly 3 decades.
