  1. Anabolism and catabolism - Do you think protein is necessary to have before bedtime?

    Curious to how this would affect HGH production. The little bit I have read on HGH is that you get your biggest release an hour or two after you fall asleep and this is blunted unless your blood sugar is at a fasting level. I would think a small dose of protein would not affect this, but...

  3. 34YO - 2 Sets of Bloodwork - Dr. Giving me choice of TRT - SHBG Thru the Roof

    First link - news article giving a brief summary. China study with 64000 people. How do you think they can do a study that large? It's called a questionairre type study. Sorry, but I am not believing any study that makes assocations from questionaires. "In China, the primary red meat...

    ??? - What's the mechanism behind red meat putting plaque in your arteries? I do agree that too much muscle meat can be problematic for some people, but that is more of a balance of amino acids. It takes a lot though.

  5. Need to make first post and ask serious question but i am being denied?

    What type of sleep stacks have you tried? Passion Flower should be beneficial to help kickstart GABA production. Also, Valerian Root, California Poppy, and Skull Cap can stack well with that before bed. You have to experiment and find the right combo. Tinctures work best. Dr. Beverly...

  6. Carb refeed - pancakes or oatmeal?

    What are ways people are trying to do this and stay on a clean , higher quality diet? Gluten free, and choosing foods that have a lower chance to have an allergenic or immune response? Most of the higher quality carbs I eat are enhanced with fat and lots of it (ghee, olive oil, coconut...

  7. Carb refeed - pancakes or oatmeal?

    Anyone else have this effect? Does it increase motility for most people?

  8. Just Diagnosed Iron Deficient

    I was reading a pre-workout supplement thread yesterday and saw that some of the products contained the ingredient Inositol. I wonder if this is the same inositol that people with hemaechromatosis take to lower their iron? Do any of your supplements contain this? I believe IP6 binds...

  9. High Hematocrit, Low Iron - Need a Plan

    From what I've read, staying well hydrated can help with high hematocrit. Definitely interested in Nattokinase and if that will help. I just had some blood work done by my Gastro doc and I had slightly high hematocrit. I didn't get the other markers, (iron and stuff) measured this time...

  10. I'm looking for the best multi-vitamin and wondering what the best form of b12 is.

    I can't find the article or podcast that detailed better B12 testing and some of the logic behind it.. Sorry- I looked a few times I do know that serum B12 only shows part of the picture. Whether it's high or low, it doesn't tell the why? For example, bacteria in the small...

  11. Fake Olive Oil.

    Same here.. I've been buying that for a long time. They have it at Target now, and it's alot cheaper then whole foods. Also, consumer lab just tested a whole bunch of Olive Oils and California Olive Ranch passed and also had the lowest rancidity.

  12. Help me get my fiancées bowls working

    She needs to work with a functional medicine doctor. Without finding out the root cause then it's a shot in the dark.. and generally good advice like eat fiber, take psyllium husk, probiotics could actually be a waste of money or make the situation worse. tips that will not hurt. Drink...

  13. I'm looking for the best multi-vitamin and wondering what the best form of b12 is.

    There are ways to improve a hiatal hernia without surgery... massage, self massage, drinking 40oz water and doing heel drops etc.. Serum b12 is a lowsy marker for b12 status. Methylcobalamin injection is the best. b12 is abundant in meat/liver but you must have the proper PH in your...

  14. 34YO - 2 Sets of Bloodwork - Dr. Giving me choice of TRT - SHBG Thru the Roof

    You are right. stay simple. I just wanted to mention Stratagene to spread the word.. I think it has a lot of potential. It has definitely helped me NOT buy a few supplements that i have read about... I've been guilty in the past of reading about a supplement and buying it.. after...

  15. 34YO - 2 Sets of Bloodwork - Dr. Giving me choice of TRT - SHBG Thru the Roof

    I would have to agree with Smont. Fix lifestyle factors first. Probably need to work with a good functional medicine Doc to clean up diet, stress, sleep, and environment. Also, I really like what companies like Strategene are doing.. get DNA test done, and look at SNPs (single...
