So this is likely the final wellness wednesday thread. I met my cousin sister and we spent a bunch of time just roaming around the city, talking about stuff. We saw my old school where I spent 11 years. We later went to meet my high school senior who is also my cousins friend. I...

Has anyone on here had any success in convincing a doctor to pursue a particular treatment course? A family member is currently experiencing an uncommon health issue on which there is limited research in the literature. I’ve found a few papers indicating that a certain treatmen...

This probably isn't the best place for relationship advice but here goes nothing. My live-in girlfriend of one year recently told me that while she loves me, she isn't 'in love' with me. Apparently these things are quite different for her. Essentially, while she has loved all o...

My younger brother died suddenly in his sleep earlier today. He had a heart condition, but this was totally unexpected. He was in his early 30s. I had spoken to him on Sunday. I only found out a few hours ago. My parents are devastated. I'm not sure why I'm posting this. H...

Someone on here recommended the podcast The Drive by Peter Attia. I started listening to it and it is a great podcast! I don’t know too much about the science of health besides the very basics so this is pretty cool. What episodes do you all recommend? I listened to the skin ca...

I was reading about someone who was diagnosed with small intestine cancer , and one of his symptoms was he would get a lot of pain a few hours after eating, presumably due to have an obstruction, so in order to mitigate this he ate once every 24 hours . He also kept his daily cal...

Why is so much music about sex? I guess I never thought about it before. I’m searching for mellow upbeat music and anything with lyrics is about sex and crushes. It doesn’t *have* to be this way; I used to listen to post-rock and it was not very sexed. Hymns are rarely sexy. But...

Recently, I learned of something called [Terryology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrence_Howard#Terryology), a form of "math" developed by Terrence Howard, the actor who played James Rhodes in the first *Iron Man* film before he was replaced by Don Cheadle in later films. It s...
