A client asked me recently "what exactly would you do if you were me" . And it made me realize the advice I give is slightly different to what I would do. I am a bit extreme in the lengths I would go to better myself. So I usually don't give this advice to people. This mindset.

If you're trying to improve a health issue and looking to use certain interventions, understand two people can use the SAME intervention and get very different results simply because of HOW they used it. E.g. One person uses vitamin B1 and feels nothing. Person two uses it.

The tonsils are a reservoir for latent EBV infection, which reside in B cell lymphocytes. For a lot of people, they also have biofilm formation of pathogens in their tonsils. Which sets up an absolute nightmare for you but a dream scenario for EBV to reactivate.

EBV can be re-activated via toxins (cytolethal distending toxin) from common oral bacteria infecting the cells it holds residence. Worse though, if the cells have only been newly infected by EBV, this toxin sets up a cellular environment that allows for long term latency for.

Both are great but I’ve recently entered into the flys only appreciation group. Allows me to isolate pecs better. Growing more. Can focus on shoulder presses without not having recovered from chest press.

Dear twitter user, . If you had to choose ONLY flys or only presses, in your pursuit of chest development, which one would you choose and why?

The framework I’ve been using lately:. 1. Hit every muscle 2-3 times weekly. 2. Focus on intensity. 3. 1-4 sets per muscle if it’s been worked. 4. 70% carbs via fruit/honey/dairy. 30% via potato, rice, and sweet potato. 5. Protein 160g. 6. Walking 3x daily

What people need to realise about food sensitivities is this: . Your immune system assesses all food coming through. Normally it knows how to assess food is benign. But the immune cells which decide this can change their nonchalant opinion of benign foods and overreact to.

Mitochondrial dysfunction drives your food sensitivities. One example is that mito issues can switch antigen presenting cells to glycolysis over oxidative phosphorylation. These increases the chances these cells signal for an increased immune response, even to what harmless.

Migraines and headaches can strongly be predicted by the activity of CGRP (calcitonin gene related peptide). It is a neuropeptide that acts on sensory nerves. Reducing CGPR via an antagonist causes constipation while giving it to human subjects induced dyspepsia and sudden.

With mold toxicity binders are great. But it leads people into a false sense of security. The liver (and to some extent the kidneys) do the heavy lifting here. Mycotoxins need to undergo hydroxylation and glucuronidation (detox pathways), over and above just using binders. So.

Addressing mold toxicity requires a holistic approach of . 1. Understanding the cocomintant issues (leaky gut? IgE? Excess weight or increased blood sugar? etc) then addressing though . 2. Supporting bile sequestering and formation. 3. Supporting detoxification in the liver.

This is really the difficulty improving gut health:. Severely dysfunctional usually crate problems that have no perfection solutions - and ultimately will always lead to imperfect solutions. That is until you get up to a new level and you can abort the previous imperfect.

Severely dysfunctional guts require more supplementation at first to improve the environment. However, eventually, the energy of your "protocol" needs to drift away from supplements and into food and lifestyle. One example is everyone loves supplementing sodium butyrate or.

Other useful additions could short term fasting (when capable, cold exposure, lowing weight and carb cycling etc. But this all may come later, subject to the person.

One of the problems is so many people don't get past the first phase where they can introduce this strategy shift. Or they don't know how to slowly implement it. They start with a food, it triggers them, so they just stay in their safe place for another year before they try.

Often when people who heal speak they only give you the tip of the iceberg of what they actually did because 99% of people aren't willing to do it all the mad little routines they did. Usually they did way more than people estimate.
