Why is my weight increasing with facial hair?
At 23, experiencing facial hair growth, menstrual discomfort, and weight gain may stem from hormonal imbalances, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Hormones can affect various bodily functions, leading to these symptoms. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management can help regulate hormones and improve overall well-being. Tracking your menstrual cycle may also provide useful insights. I recommend consulting a gynecologist to discuss your symptoms and explore potential solutions tailored to your needs.

Should I Take Magnesium, Zinc, and K2 for Vitamin D Deficiency?
Vitamin D deficiency can lead to symptoms like fatigue, bone pain, and muscle weakness. Your lab result indicates a significant low level, and starting 5,000 IU daily is a common approach for repletion. It's essential to monitor calcium levels, as excessive vitamin D can contribute to calcification. Adding magnesium, zinc, or vitamin K2 may support overall health, but it’s best to consult your healthcare provider before making any changes. They can tailor a plan based on your specific needs and ensure safe supplementation. Regular check-ups are important for monitoring progress and adjusting dosages as needed.
