CRW PODCAST QUESTIONS
Q - 13:22
In your last podcast about CBD oil, the guest mentioned that it doesn’t matter how you take it. I have been taking it in my water, but I notice that the oil doesn’t really mix with the water, so I am not getting my full dose, some of the oil sticks around the walls of the cup and I am wasting a lot. What is a better way that I can take this oil?
- Jennifer in Chino
Q - 28:03
On your last podcast you mentioned a couple brands of CBD oil, but I looked them up online and they were SO expensive! Is there anywhere that I can purchase it more affordably?
-Cheryl in Fort Worth

-Stephanie in Blacksburg
Q - 30:25
April talked a little about the Endocannabinoid System on her last podcast, but I am still having a hard time understanding what this is? If it is a legit system in the body, how come I never learned about it in health and science classes growing up?
-Whitley in South Carolina
Q - 31:22
In looking into CBD oil I read nothing but good things! I only have two questions. 1) Are there are any substances that I should NOT use or take while taking CBD? 2) I am big into essential oils and I mix several with coconut oil to rub on and apply for things like my carpal tunnel and back pain. Can I mix my CBD oil in with these oils, or does it need to be taken orally?
-Diane in Palmyra
Q - 35:01
I have been doing my online research and am wondering what the difference is in a Cannabinoid and an Endocannabinoid? Sometimes when I am reading about this stuff it is like I am reading another language!
-Paris in Chesapeake
Q - 37:57
I am, what most people what most people consider to be relatively healthy. Since I am not trying to cure a particular disease, I am wondering what some of the other functions of the Endocannabinoid system are and what kind of improvements around my body I could expect to see if I take CBD regularly?
-Justine in Tampa
Q - 39:10
I found it really shocking that your last podcast guest lost so much weight on CBD and THC oils. I always thought they would give you the munchies! What is it about these oils that can cause weight loss?
-Tara in Portland
Q - 42:07
I have been struggling with fertility for the past couple of years and my friend recently recommended CBD oil. I am unsure if she was just trying to make a sale, or if this really is a good idea. Is it safe to take this type of drug when I am trying to become pregnant? And I guess the second part of my question would be how can CBD oil help me with reproduction?
-Anonymous
Q - 43:52
I have heard so many things about CBD oil! I want to know, what is your absolute favorite benefit of these oils, and what changes have you noticed, personally?

Hey Guys! In Today's Podcast Preview, we took a little clip from my talk with Felice Gersh M.D. (Full Episode Down Below). The Majority of women have elevated levels of testosterone and a smaller percentage have elevated levels of DHEA Sulfate. Until these levels go down, the elevated hair growth will not stop. These days "laser hair removal" is actually considered "laser hair REDUCTION". The only permanent hair removal is electrolysis which is somewhat a dying art. The most effective way is going to be to lower and regulate those testosterone levels, and you can do this through FASTING. This is just part of one of the questions from the episode so make sure to check out the full version.

CRW PODCAST QUESTIONS
Q - 02:29
Like a lot of moms, I am constantly trying to find the balance of feeding my family healthy foods and also sticking to a budget. My main questions are about meats and veggies. First of all, which veggies do I absolutely need to buy organic, and which ones can I skip on and just wash really good? When it comes to meat, my husband is a big steak guy, he wants to eat steak all the time! I’ve noticed there is a big difference in pricing of grass feed meat and meat that isn’t grass fed. First of all, what even constitutes grass fed meat? And second, is it worth spending the extra mone?
- Carol in Florida
Q - 12:59
The other day I was going out to grab lunch and I offered to pick her up an Ahi Tuna Bowl because we eat these together all the time! It is one of our favorite healthy, go-to’s. But this time my coworker told me she was going to pass because she heard that there is a lot of mercury in the fish lately. Is this true? I always think of tuna as one of the healthiest clean proteins and I hate to cut it out of my diet. She did mention that she already has exceptionally high mercury levels so I am wondering if this varies from person. Maybe there is a chance my levels are lower than hers? Do we all need to be wary of mercury, and how do I find out what my levels are?
-Alyssa in Virginia Beach
Q - 17:01
I live in Virginia Beach, and one of my favorite things to do in the summer time is to grab a cold beer and a dozen raw oysters at a local restaurant. If you ask me, it’s one of the best parts of living at the beach! I am not sure if this happens at other beaches, but here in Virginia Beach, we’ve had a couple days this summer where we had swim advisories on certain streets of the ocean front saying that we shouldn’t swim there because there was too much bacteria in the water. Gross! I’ve lived here for ten years and don’t remember hearing anything like this. What does this even mean? And my biggest question is how does this affect my delicious oysters that live in this water that we are not allowed to swim in? The last time I ate oysters, my stomach didn’t feel well. I am wondering if this was in my head, or is there a tie between this and the bacteria in my water? I always thought that oysters were a healthy go to!
- Patty in Virginia Beach
Q - 20:33
What are your thoughts on buying pre-cut, pre-packaged fruits and veggies? I am a super busy (Like everyone else LOL) and I find that I only eat my fruits and veggies if it is super convenient and prewashed, especially my spinach and greens. The other day I read online that Trader Joes had a recall on watermelon that came pre-cut and this grossed me out! It got me wondering if this convenience was worth it. What do you think caused this recall, and should I try to avoid pre-packaged foods?
- Parker in Charleston, WV
Q - 24:16
I have been struggling with a lot of autoimmune issues for a couple years now, and after listening to the doctors on your podcast I decided that I needed to clean up the way I am eating. Dairy was a big thing that I cut out, and have replaced 100% with almond milk and coconut milk. I also have been eating a lot of healthy fats like Avocados. I am starting to feel better, but I notice that my weight loss has slowed down. Am I doing something wrong?
-Cassie in Charlottesville
Q - 27:49
Your podcast inspired me to hit up my local juice bar and pick up a yummy green juice! After I paid, I noticed the expiration date was for the next day. I asked them when they made the juice and they said it was five days earlier! I remember you talking about how we should drink the juices we make right away so this kind of grossed me out that this juice was sitting in the jar for five days! Can you refresh my memory on how long fresh juice is good to drink after it’s made? I have a small juicer at home, I know it would be best that I make it myself. It is just a hassle!!

Q – 27:24
Can you break down the Endocannabinoid System and specifically how it can effect the hormonal issues we deal with as women?
Q – 35:36
When I visited my gynecologist, she told me she “thought” that I had PCOS, but that there is no true way to tell. She knows that I am not trying to conceive at this time in my life, and brushed it off like it was something I shouldn’t be concerned with since I am not trying to get pregnant. I do want to have kids one day, and I am not comfortable with the fact that something could potentially be wrong. What can I do to be improving my health, so that when I am ready to have children, I can maximize my chances of conceiving?
-Jennifer in Little Rock
Q – 46:13
My Doctor prescribed me with Birth Control as a way to treat my PCOS, and said that I needed it in order to keep my period regular. I personally HATE birth control side effects, the weight gain, mood swings, etc. Also, I just don’t like taking medicine every day! But I have remained on it because my Dr told me to. Is it true that this is the best treatment for PCOS, or is there a more natural remedy that you recommend?
-Jordan in NC
Q –50:09
I love your podcast and I am so excited that you are having a doctor on to talk about PCOS, because sometimes I feel alone in my struggle with it. What are some of the best natural supplements that a woman with PCOS should take? Are there certain foods that I should be sure to include in my diet, and certain foods that I should leave out?
-Nicole in Saratoga
Q – 54:05
One of my least favorite side effects of PCOS is the embarrassing hair on my face. When I went in for laser hair removal, they even told me that they told me that they wouldn’t even guarantee that it would work for someone that struggles with PCOS. I was so discouraged, I don’t want to deal with this beard forever! Do you have any recommendations for natural hair removal that are effective, or a way that I can curb my facial hair growth?
-Anonymous
Q – 57:39
My sister struggles with PCOS, and had a really hard time conceiving. Sadly, she also had a miscarriage on one of her pregnancies. I was wondering if miscarriages can be related to PCOS, or if PCOS only affects your ability to conceive? I ask because my Doctor told me that it is common for PCOS to run in sisters and I am curious what my future will be like if I decide to have children?
-Ashley in Springfield
Q –1:01:53
I struggle with PCOS which means that I don’t get a period consistently. Sometimes I go 3-4 months without a period, so when I do, the cramps are out of this world! I almost can’t function, they are so bad, extending to my legs and my back. Without being too gross, the flow is extremely heavy as well. What are some ways that I can help alleviate these symptoms of my out of the control periods?

I am a big fan of April’s and I love following her on Instagram and Facebook! I can’t believe how incredible her body looks. Not only is she thin, but she is STRONG and fit! What kinds of workouts do you do to stay so chiseled?
-Joanne in Virginia Beach
Q- 10:46
I keep hearing great things about CBD oil and I ordered some that is supposed to taste like Peppermint. The container says that I should take 20 drops but I put it in water and it just tastes NASTY. Am I taking it wrong, and is there a better way that I can do this or something else I can mix it with?
-Christy in Austin
Q- 11:53
Overnight it seems like everyone is talking about CBD oil. I have several friends that are distributing it and everyone says that theirs is the best! In your opinion, where is the best place to order CBD oil and is it worth it to pay for the more expensive brands?
-Kara in Tampa
Q- 13:57
April’s podcast was so inspiring. I recently had a close family member diagnosed with brain cancer. She is undergoing chemo and radiation after surgery and is just so miserable! I am trying so hard to convince her to consider an alternate approach because I truly believe it has the power to heal her! But she is so stuck on her doctor’s orders. What would you say to your family member if you were me?
-Anonymous
Q- 15:20
In her podcast, April talked about how she did a TON of research and really educated herself after her diagnosis. If I wanted to do similar research of my own, where is the best place to get started? What are some of your favorite resources?
-Jamie in Connecticut
Q- 16:40
My CBD oil just came in the mail! I am excited to get started but want to make sure that I am doing it right. What is the best time of day to take this, and should I take it with food or on an empty stomach?
-Erin in NC
Q- 18:15
Can someone please explain the difference in CBD oil and Cannabis? From my understanding, CBD oil is completely legal, but cannabis is still illegal in many states. I want to make sure I am staying out of trouble LOL but also want to be sure I am taking advantage of some of the as many benefits LEGALLY as I can!

-Jennifer in Massachusetts
Q- 23:51
I recently ordered CBD oil and when I took it, I got extremely nauseous. I took 20 drops in my water as the Directions called for. Did I take too much, or is this normal when you take it for the first time?
-Karen in Chesapeake
Q- 24:28
Can you put into really simple terms the difference in CBD and THC oil? From what I understand one is completely legal and the other isn’t. Do they have the same effects?
-Noah in Suffolk
Q- 26:35
On your podcast with April, she talked a little about the endocannabinoid system and how this is an untapped system in most of our bodies. Can you expand on this and explain it some more? This is the first I’ve heard of it. Can my endocannabinoid system help regulate my thyroid function?
* Jennifer in Boston
Q- 27:48
I was talking to a friend the other day who told me that celery juice is really good for you! I was really shocked because I have always been told that it was primarily water and just didn’t have a lot of substance. What are some benefits of celery juice and what is the best way to prepare it?
-Josh in Chesapeake
Q- 31:09
33 I’ve been researching the Vegan diet, and I know that April is a big fan of it. I am learning all kinds of stuff about plant-based proteins and wanted to see which ones you recommend or are your favorite protein sources?

HEY GUYS! In this week's podcast preview, we talk to Kristin Cuthriell! We're answering the question below about what you REALLY need to do when you are eating. Are you eating because you are TRUELY HUNGRY or are you eating just because there is food there? Once you identify this and are able to say NO to emotional eating, is the day that could potentially change your life and see the results that you want!
Video VERSION: https://www.youtube.com/hXP7nQ-XwYQ
I am a truck driver…female truckers REPRESENT! I really love my job, and I love listening to your podcasts while I am on the road to pass time. Which brings me to my issue…passing time. I’ve got a lot of time to pass which leads me to a lot of eating when I am not truly hungry. I try to switch things up and eat things like sunflower seeds or peanuts, but these still have calories and still qualify as food. Another career isn’t an option right now, but I really want to start living by the principles of healthy eating and need to stop my snacking! Any advice?

CRW Podcast Questions
Q1 1:43
After reading your book, a big thing I am trying to work on is only eating when I am truly hungry. I usually open my window around 12pm each day and I will eat a bigger lunch. I try keep my eating window open from 12-6, and I am finding that I am cramming that last meal of the day into my window and I am not truly hungry. I go out to eat with friends a lot, and find myself ordering food just because everyone else is eating. I like to be social, and it would make me said to just go home by myself and miss out. Do you have any advice so I can keep my social life, but not force myself to eat when I am not truly hungry?
-Erin in Greensboro
Q2 6:03
I’ve been following the Intermittent Fasting lifestyle for about 3 months now. I try to stick to a 6 hour window, with one small snack and one meal. Emphasis on the word TRY. I do a really good job healthy snack/small meal during the day at work, but when I get home around 5pm I am tired, stressed from a long day, and I just want to eat everything in sight! I don’t drink wine like a lot of people do to unwind. Eating is literally the only way I know how to unwind after a long day. I have had some success when I stick to my eating window and the principles in your book, and I really want to continue to lose weight! I just need some advice to keep me from getting de-railed in the evening.
- Katie in Massachusetts
Q3 - 9:29
I do a really good job at home with stocking my house with mostly “healthier” foods, and more natural treats. It really helps me stay on track! The problem is the people I work with don’t have the same mindset. They are constantly bringing junk into the office…Dunkin Donuts, pizza, candy….sometimes I feel like I work at a buffet! They will say things like “a little piece won’t kill you”…but I know that mindless munching is just a path I try not to walk down. Do you have any advice for how I can handle working in this perpetual potluck?
- Michelle in Hampton
Q4 - 11:54
I am a truck driver…female truckers REPRESENT! I really love my job, and I love listening to your podcasts while I am on the road to pass time. Which brings me to my issue…passing time.

Q5 - 21:42
My boyfriend and I broke up a few months ago. I know it was for the best, but I really miss all of the fun things we used to do together on the weekends. I am not ready to start dating right now, and don’t want to rebound. But since I am not dating anyone, I spend a lot of time alone at home on the weekends. Which means a lot of take out, cookie dough, and “ooh what should I order tonight?” I know this isn’t a good idea, especially since I will need to get back on the dating scene eventually! LOL. Any advice?
- Anonymous
Q6 - 23:24
I loved the podcast that you did a few months ago about emotional eating! I took the quiz you made online, and identified as a stress eater. No surprise there! I have three small kids that I am constantly chasing around, I am so busy feeding them that I don’t take the time to prepare myself healthy meals, so I just grab anything I can get my hands on, whenever I have the chance. My husband is deployed right now, so my stress is at an all time high. I know I shouldn’t be turning to food for my “fix”, but I can’t stop. Admitting I have a problem is the first step right? Now I just need some tips to help me stop! Please help.
- Constance in Pensacola
Q7 -25:44
A friend of mine that is really into fitness recommended that I try keeping a food journal and recording the food that I eat. I feel like this would cause me to obsess over what I eat, and it almost goes against what you talk about in your book with making food an idol. Have you ever kept a food journal, and do you recommend this?
- Carrie in Knoxville
Q8 - 28:30
I work in real estate, just like you, Chantel! As you can understand, it is very stressful. I spend my entire day trying to keep everyone happy, and in the evening all I want to do is unwind with some wine or vodka. I don’t go crazy binge drinking, but I find myself drinking pretty much every day. Where do I draw the line and how do I recognize the difference between drinking to unwind from my stressful career, and becoming dependent/borderline alcoholic?
-Becca in Virginia Beach
Q9 - 30:27
I was a size two when I married my husband. Fast forward ten years and a couple of kids, and I am now in size double digits. He probably doesn’t realize how hurtful he’s being but he makes thoughtless comments all the time about the way I used to look, or makes comments about things I should or shouldn’t eat…talks about me joining the gym.. I know I should talk to him about how this makes me feel, it’s honestly just awkward. I find myself keeping my feelings inside and when he’s not around, I binge out on junk food behind his back. I know this is a messed up way of thinking! But at the time, I feel like I am getting back at him for trying to control what I eat. How can I tackle this tough situation and try to repair my marriage and my outlook on food?
- Anonymous
Q10 - 32:19
I struggle with crazy anxiety, but have been slowly weening off my meds because the side effects were getting to be too much. I have been doing a lot of things like yoga/meditation, Bible reading, going for walks, which you’ve talked about before, but I still have nights that I am crazy anxious, and all I want to do is eat. The other night, I found myself in bed with two Big Bite hot dogs from 7-11 and a 20 oz of Yuengling just to make me feel better! What are some other ways that I can combat my night time anxiety. It seems to be manageable during the day when I am keeping busy!

Q11 - 39:20
I really want to quit smoking for a multitude of really obvious reasons, but every single person I talk to who has quit smoking successfully has told me that it caused them to gain a ton of weight. It makes sense, and is easy to assume they are replacing their cigarette addiction with a food addiction. Which is the last thing I need! I don’t want this to be an excuse that keeps me from quitting though. Do you have any advice to help me stop smoking without packing on the pounds?

Q1 - 1:40
I've tried to cut out most dairy products since they seem to affect me negatively, but lately, I've heard more and more people mentioning raw dairy, saying it is a healthier alternative. Some people are saying it is illegal though! Is this true? Where can I get it safely and legally?
Denise in Little Rock
Q2 - 6:51
When it comes to trying to help/heal my thyroid naturally, what are some of the best foods that I can eat? Will my diet really make a difference? I am so tired, I don't want to feel this way for the rest of my life! What should I eat, and what should I cut out?
Kelly in Murfreesboro
Q3 - 9:44
I have loved hearing from so many doctors on your podcast lately! I don't have s super technical mind, and sometimes I am having a hard time keeping up with their lingo. I really want to understand the difference between T4 and T3 and what I need to be looking at when I have my blood work done. Can you or your next guest explain this really simply?
Melanie in Manassas
Q4 - 13:57
I've heard Doctors say that I need to wait 4-6 weeks between thyroid check-ups to see a real difference, but I have been doing self-tests I got online almost weekly, and I notice a change each week. Why do doctors say that I need to wait?
Patty in NC
Q5 - 15:58
One of my friends went in for botox and her doctor said that there are some hormones you can insert via your booty that help with any aging in case you have issues producing hormones on your own as you age. Have you heard of this, and is it safe?
Paula in Charleston
Q6 - 18:10
I've read that fermented foods are good for digestion. When I think fermented, the only thing that comes to mind is sauerkraut. Yuck!!! Is there anything that is fermented and actually tastes good? Or should I just stick with a good probiotic?

-QUESTIONS-
Q1- 9:07
I struggle with Hashimotos and as a result, have major digestive issues. I’ve read that the reason for this is that I am not producing enough Hydrochloric acid. Is this something I can supplement, or are there some sort of enzymes that I can take to aid with digestion? Carol in Florida
Q2- 27:05
You’ve mentioned before that taking my basal body temperature is the best way to check my thryoid, but you haven’t found an affordable thermometer for this. What is the big difference in using a normal thermometer to take my temperature and checking my basal temperature? You said that the morning temperature is most accurate, so I have been sticking to this. Angela In Rochester
Q3 - 39:32
One of my really good friends became vegetarian and her thyroid seems to be improving. She says that this has to do with the hormones in meat. Have you heard of people successfully healing their thyroid by cutting out meat, and if so, why does it work? Alison In Iowa
Q4 - 44:32
I was just talking to my mom the other day, and we were talking about how it seems like there is a sudden onset of thyroid issues these days! Until the past 5-10 years, neither of us remember it being so common to have thyroid issues. What is our culture doing to cause so many thyroid issues all of a sudden? It seems like an epidemic. -Carrie in Williamsburg.
Q5 - 48:57
I’ve switched form synthroid to armor thyroid and I got this nasty rash all over my chest and neck. I am racking my brain to figure out what is going on, and the only thing I can figure is my medication switch or just my thyroid in general because every issue I have seems to relate back to this darn thyroid! Have you heard of this rash issue before, and what is causing it? — Kara in Atlanta

HEY GUYS! In this week's podcast, we talk to Dr. Hedberg is the author of “The Complete Thyroid Health and Diet Guide” and the host of one of my favorite podcasts, “The Dr Hedberg Show”. I have been counting down the days until this interview because I am such a fan of his and it is a huge honor to get to speak to him. We received an OVERWHELMING number of questions for Dr. Hedberg so let's jump right in!!
Video VERSION: https://youtu.be/RnKtn3J0B08
Podcast: https://drhedberg.com/podcasts/
Q1 – 3:29
When I am eating super clean, my thyroid seems to function at a more optimal level. Do you think that there are certain foods that I should avoid, and certain foods I should try to eat a lot of when I am trying to regulate my thyroid?
Q2 – 7:29
I got my bloodwork done, and my fasting blood sugar was at 108- is this something I should be concerned with? What is the recommended range for my blood sugar levels when I am fasting?
Q3 – 8:32
I have rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, definitely have autoimmune issues! Are there any supplements you recommend to help with these? I feel like I am taking so many different supplements and I wonder if they are helping me, or are damaging my liver? I am currently taking: a probiotic, selenium, zinc, multivitamins, vitamin D, calcium, vitamin c, vitamin E, and vitamin A. Is this too much?
Q4 - 13:22
I really enjoyed your last podcast about Adrenal Fatigue- I still don’t totally understand how the thyroid and adrenal glands are related- are they even related at all? How do I know for sure if I have adrenal fatigue?
Q5 – 15:13
I was watching YOUTUBE and there was a video that said one of the reasons you could be constipated is because you don’t have enough bile in your system. Can you explain how this works? What could I do to fix it?
Q6 – 17:57
I know that several guests on your podcast have talked about how a huge portion of your immune system resides in your gut, and it is so important to make sure my gut is functioning at a high capacity. Do you think that your gut and thyroid have a huge connection? I struggle with thyroid issues, and major constipation, and am trying to figure out how to heal my gut.
Q7 - 21:42 I’ve been reading a lot of articles about leaky gut syndrome, and I have some issues with my thyroid and some skin issues like eczema and dermatitis. I’ve been reading a lot about candida and leaky gut and am trying to figure out which one I have. What do you think is the best solution for it?
Q8 – 23:53
I have recently been reading a lot of articles on Candida and I definitely have all of the symptoms of candida. I know that I eat WAYY too much sugar. The problem is that when you have candida, it's ALL I CRAVE! In your book, you talk about how I shouldn’t deprive myself. So my issue is that I deprive myself of sugar because of my candida, and then I miss it so much and then I binge! How can I find the happy medium?
Q9 – 25:08
I have listened to a couple of your podcasts with your experts and doctors and hear them talk about the conversion of T4, T3 – reverse T3- I still don’t understand it. Can you have someone come on your show and explain this in a very simple, non-technical way, so I can understand the differences in T4, T3, Reverse T3 and TSH, and what I should be looking for?
Q10 – 28:26
I have read some very conflicting articles about IODINE for thyroid hormone production. Some articles say if your thyroid isn’t functioning you should take more iodine- and other articles say Iodine will make your thyroid worse! So much contradicting information in what I read on Google- I am really hoping one of the doctors can answer for me!
Q11 – 31:08
I went to a traditional Doctor and they told me that my TSH levels should be between .5 and 5. My thyroid was at a 4.5 when I took my test and I am absolutely exhausted. I talked to one of my friends and she told me that she feels the best when her thyroid is at 1 or below. That is when she feels like a million bucks and has tons of energy. I know that for me, a 4.5 makes me exhausted.
Q12 – 33:02
I was listening to your podcast with Elle and she said that she does NOT like Synthroid, and prefers Nature Throid since it is natural. My Primary Care Physician would not prescribe me Nature Throid because she said most of the doctors give Synthroid instead. She really encouraged me to take Synthroid and not Nature Thyroid. Why do you think that is?
Q13 – 35:16
Can you explain the difference between Armor Throid and Nature Thyroid? In your podcast with Elle, she recommended Nature Thyroid, but when I googled it, I read that both medicines contain 38 mcg of t4 and 9 mcg of t3- so how can they be that different? She never said why Nature Thyroid was better.
Q14 – 36:33
I read a book by Aviva Romm MD, called “The Adrenal Thyroid Revolution”, and she said that 95% of Americans have been affected by Epstein Barr Virus, which is in the same family as herpes. She says that the EBV is a huge reason why you can get chronic fatigue, chronic aches and pains, and even Hashimotos. I am extremely tired, my muscles ache, sometimes so much that I can’t function. My Dr. has told me that I don’t have the Epstein Barr Virus right now, but it shows in my system that I have had it at one point. Can you expand on EBV and how it is healed?
Q15 - 39:03
After listening to your podcast, I went to CVS and purchases several Blood Glucose Monitors, I wanted to have one in my purse, one in my office, and one at home, and to try a couple different brands. I got home and wanted to test them out, and I was surprised that I had different readings from each monitor. I took my blood four times, all within 20 seconds of each other, on different fingers. And these were the readings I received: 110, 82, 90, and 98. Is this as simple as a variation in the different brands? And if so, how do I know which reading was accurate? There is a big difference in a 82 and a 110! Did I do something wrong?
