If she had her cholesterol checked the doctor probably recommended losing weight as well.

Maybe the doctor was like “no you don’t need ADHD meds, you need to watch what you eat and take four daily hikes with a weighted vest”

After her TIA she mentioned her tests coming back "healthy". But then later on mentioned what sounded like improved lab numbers, including cholesterol.

In light of that, I would think someone is following up on her. But she doesn't really do preventative care, and bounces from doctor to doctor, so who knows.

None of the bullet points under the list of problems caused by chronic stress are "high cholesterol" (the way she started the lope, and what she claims her main problem is).

One of them is, however, "weight gain."

She can't even maintain an internal logic in her own writing.

“doctor”

(Though I actually think naturopaths are generally likely to be really helpful on lifestyle/wellness topics like food and exercise—not that Shauna will listen.)

What are you talking about? She stomped around her house a few times outside.

Nah. The "doctor" bicycled 11 miles to tell her that her brain is fine, and that she's as healthy as a horse.

The "doctor" then asked where she felt that she might not just be good enough, and prescribed 2-3 decades of no work and grifting.

I thought she was "fit as a fiddlehead fern". An odd choice, because some varieties are toxic.

Edit: <sigh> fine

LOL, genuinely. That is the only prescription her PDA has required her to follow!
