Hey! Thanks for your question. :) I do feel like this could tell you a bit about bodily stress (though not very directly). A better and more affordable way to test stress would be to do an at-home salivary coritisol test. You can essentially measure the stress hormone cortisol in your spit. Something like this: amzn.to/3XbcvwP

Oh man! Thanks for sharing. ❤️ I’m going to remember that and hope it’s not a coincidence. 12 hours of hellish labor sounds insane! Did you notice any differences in fourth trimester between the pregnancies?

Thanks for sharing! I would say these tools can offer a “guesstimation” of your metabolic flexibility. It’s not going to be the same as a respiratory exchange ratio (RER) lab test because they only measure co2, not co2 and oxygen. And the co2 level is a proxy for what metabolic state you’re in. But it can still give you some indication of your metabolic flexibility. It’s not complete BS. And I did find it helpful to identify a few behaviors that help me wake up in a “fat burning state” aka lower CO2. For me personally, this is usually an indication that my body is relaxed, not stressed, slept well. But I generally think this tool is not very useful for people just starting out on their health journey. The information is not necessary to get fit. It was just an example of a tool you can use to get to know your body even better. I love experimenting with these kinds of things. :) X Robin

Hi! Thanks for your question. Do you use it on the highest setting? I use it on the highest setting myself and don’t feel vibrations but feel a very subtle current (more like a bit of electricity) because I use it without gel. If you use it with gel-as you’re supposed to-you may not really feel much at all.

@@TheScienceofSelfCare Thank you for your answer. Yes, I use it on the highest level with gel and feel nothing. I also have a big one Trinity and it works perfectly with the gel, I feel currents. I think I got defective Mini nuface

@@amiracharm9810I also don’t feel currents with the mini, but when the gel slightly dries or I touch an area without gel, I can feel little tingles. I don’t think you’re supposed to feel it for the face one

I’m actually bringing home the bacon 😜

Hi there! Thank you for sharing. Even if you despise these sorts of videos, you’ve left a helpful comment here and there are great discussions going on. I think that’s a plus. :) I’m so glad ivermectin works for you! I’d love to try it and I’m going to see if I can get my hands on some. It’s only available with prescription, which makes it a little less accessible. My intention with this video was to share what’s been working for me. Right now, I’m personally loving tretinoin (which I get through Agency) and zinc face basting. As I mention several times in this video, it’s up to each of us to find our own ideal routine. I’m glad you’ve found yours. ❤️ and I appreciate you adding this great tip to the conversation. Xo Robin

@@TheScienceofSelfCare Im sorry if i sounded rude but i think people should seriously watch out for things like Tretinoin. When i got rosacea 3 years ago doctors thought i had normal acne and they prescribed me benzoyl peroxide/ adapalene/ Tretinoin/ Salicylic acid & things like accutane (which i didnt try thank god) that absolutely destroyed my skin and made my skin worse and i had to literally do my own research to find out what was happening with my skin. I finally came across rosacea and thought okay im going to try Ivermectin 1% topical cream & guess what? IT WORKED! Things like tretinoin are absolutely not for rosacea & those other ingredients i listed. They are for normal acne or aging skin. Rosacea is completely different and for that you need ivermectin and also azelaid acid which i havent tried yet but maybe one day i will. People with rosacea should NOT be applying harsh things like tretinoin it will irritate your skin & make things 100x worse. Im glad you found something that works for your skin type though ❤

Hey there! Thanks for sharing some more context and thoughts. I genuinely appreciate it. I think it’s important for everyone reading and watching to keep in mind that rosacea can have so many causes and that there are many different types of rosacea. Ivermectin, for example seems to work especially well with papulopustular rosacea. Not sure how well it will work for me, but I’d still love to test! I can completely relate to the experience of “good” products (like AHA’s and BHA’s) destroying my skin. I honestly hate trying new skincare and do try to keep things very simple. Tretinoin is actually doing great things for me. It was prescribed to me as a treatment for rosacea (it is a relatively low dose). There are studies that show tretinoin can actually improve rosacea in some cases, but I agree that people should proceed with caution (and under the guidance of an expert-which I am not). All in all, rosacea - like many things - is a personal journey that requires a bit of experimentation. I’m really keen to see if ivermectin will help tame the remaining redness in my cheeks! In general, I’m pretty happy with where I’ve gotten my rosacea so far. A big factor for me is also managing my gut health… which has nothing to do with my topical skincare routine. :) Anywhoooo, enough yapping from me. Thanks again for sharing. xo

@@TheScienceofSelfCare I would suggest Azelaic Acid 15% prescription or Ivermectin 1% but keep in mind ivermectin is more expensive than azelaic acid so get a prescription for azelaic acid and try that first. Good luck your skin looks great be careful with tretinoin.
