I wonder what he means by larger in this context.

There is a lot more nuance in the article that is certainly worth looking at and considering and while I hear your annoyance with the long article I think going to the effort to write a long and informative article like this is commendable in some ways. I'll grant it's not a perfect article in many ways though. Nonetheless I wanted to share a bit more of what I learned from it for others.

More from the article

(Plus my takes after studying a bit of nutrition.)

  • Reduce your sugar intake.

(Personally, I'd clarify that to processessed sugars, as fruit is quite good for you, not juice though, you need that fiber.)

  • The doctor recommended a Multivitamin and an omega 3 pill. They said it's better to get them through diet but supplements can be useful as a backup.

(I'd recommend a vegan omega 3 as otherwise you're likely to get a dose of mercury with your omega 3 every day).

  • The B-vitamins they focused on was b-12, 6 and folate.

Habit recommendations

  • They recommended Cognitive Behavioral Therapy [CBT.]

(I have had some success with the app "Feeling Great" but a therapist is certainly preferred over an app if you can.)

  • Mindful eating - Try no screens, or as slow as you can eat for the first few bites.

  • Eating schedule - setting reminders on your phone for when to eat can help you create a good and consistent eating schedule.

Funny. But for real, phytoestrogens have really been slandered by masculine culture so afraid of anything femme.

Phytoestrogens, like those found in soy, actually make the body produce less estrogen and tend to help regulate estrogen hormonal production.

It does not just make you more feminine and make it harder to get strong unlike most manosphere peeps believe about "soyboys." I wonder if the phytoestrogens in beer are the same way.

It sounds like Twitch staff didn't handle this well and Emiru is calling them out on it. Even though they claim the individual was dealt with immediately, it sounds like it took Emiru pushing for it for anything to happen and that they pressured her to do in person meet and greets when she felt uncomfortable about them. Curious beyond that how could Twitch as an organization make things safer for streamers like her.
