https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7926526/ K2 vitamin might be something you'd want to add to Vit D. K2 deficiency isn't the root cause, but it could part of reason why you have stones.

Have you tried collagen? Nowadays that's the only supplement I regularly take, with vit D. It did wonder for a long lasting cervical pain. The evidence that it works are increasingly clear. Same for IR exposure, it helps.

No idea, that's more a question for @sleevedraw. I'm just an autistic EQ player who had health issues and proceeded to minmax that shit. I have an IBD, and all doctors could offer was cutting random stuff and hope for the best. I'm glad I didn't take that route and watched youtube videos...

What will get you cancer is living in Florida, not going out much, but when you do it's in the middle of the day in summer. That's not how it's supposed to work. I think Seheult explains it in that video, or another one, but if you are to expose your skin you have to do it the proper way. The...

⁰ The data is age corrected, and if cancer takes more than 50 years to manifest, even if true (which is not) that would not be a serious concern to a 40 year old. I feel like that's something extremely important. The way we're dealing with the sun is completely retarded, and probably as much...

Uh absolutely no sunscreen. Morning / evening sun are entirely harmless. At your lunch break, be careful, don't get burnt. Progressively train your skin, don't rush it. Regular sun exposure won't give you skin cancer, quite the opposite, unless you're really out of your place (like blond in...

35ish isn't terribly bad, but only good can happen from increasing that to 50ish at least. You can certainly increase vit D a bit. Sun exposure seem to make a massive difference for testosterone. Can't spend 30 mn in the sun in the morning? Take a coffee/breakfast outside. Can be tricky if you...

Did you check your vit D level? How much time do you spend outside every day?

Being 40+ pounds overweight doesn't happen overnight, you abused your body for a while, it won't recover overnight either. You can go see a doctor for a quick fix, that might even work, for a while, but unless you really fix the root cause other shits will happen. 6 weeks is not a lot if...

That was my thought as well. Sun exposure is also crucial for testosterone. You'll find a bunch of studies on that.

I have no idea for the USA, but all you need is a supplement that provide the totox for each of their batch and a lab analysis showing no heavy metal contamination. Then don't forget to keep it in the fridge to avoid further oxydation . Nordic labs seems okayish; at least for the cod liver oil...

Really looks like adrenal fatigue symptom. You might be feeling better as your cortisol level go beneath a certain threshold. It's a vicious circle, high cortisol cause anxiety which in turn will increase cortisol levels. It's probably not the only thing going on, but it's one thing you can...

It's rarely just one thing, that's what doctors struggle with. You'll smoke, and various factors (and there are plenty...) will weaken your immune system, your genetics will play a role, your environment will play a role as well, a combination of those factors will land you cancer. Isolating...

I think it's the same for cholesterol, can you even reach the unhealthy level (300+ TC) without some severe organ disfunction ? Some people should avoid some stuff, depending on their health, but most people would massively benefit from eating more of those goddamn salted eggs.

Doctors are all : less meat, cholesterol bad, less salt. ACM studies : the more meat, cholesterol and salt the longer you live. Was discussing it with a colleague earlier today, and he an interesting comment, salt is one thing you're noticing immediately if it's lacking. Unlike magnesium...

You should be careful of not being sodium deficient, a lot of people are because we've been told all our lives that salt is bad. If your kidney is normal, you're just going to piss away fairly quickly any extra. But if you're deficient, it will lead to brain, neurological issues. Like...

To be fair keto for one year would be difficult, most people stop keto after a while because it's just too hard to maintain. And you're probably not supposed to be in ketosis for months anyway. But a couple of weeks can be useful, especialy as people that try keto usually end up eating less...

Keto diet might be worth trying for neuropathy. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7781473/ Most studies looking at it show some sort of benefit. I know someone who had severe pain in her arm for 2 years (thx vax) that got rid of it with a low carb diet. Worst case is you won't have...

Do you have diabetes ?

If you're not taking them already, various studies show Omega 3 supplement do make a difference for bp.

Indeed, if anxiety is starting in the evening before going to bed, that's more unnatural than during the night when cortisone is naturaly higher. Either way, the aim is to have a cortisone level as low as possible when falling asleep. Eating earlier and avoiding sugars entirely in the evening...

Cortisone levels should be minimum when you go to bed and increase during the night. So it's not surprinsing that anxiety would be worse during the night. Might be adrenal fatigue, too much stress, caffeine not enough sleep over time causing it to dysfunction.

Sigh

A study un-surprinsingly showed that sitting 8+ hours sitting a day was as bad for cardiovascular health as smoking and was barely offset by 1 hour of workout per day. I'll try to find the study, pretty sure I heard of it in a video of Thomas DeLauer but this dude just has top much video. The...

Quick question, has Magic gone woke or can I relatively safely play with my kid, who showed interest out of nowhere?

You probably won't get result overnight.. going to the gym, eating better and generaly speaking trying to spend as little time sitting as possible should do the trick. Find whatever metric you like and try to do more every month. Kinda suck when the 'I'm young cheat code' runs out, but with...

(a) If you're black and live in Europe your vit D level won't be great. We'd need to travel back in time and see what the level was 5000 years ago among european tribes to know what the intended level is. (b) As the exhibit below show, the less time you spend in your life outside, the more...

Normal vit D level is around 70, as per studies on savage tribes. 40 is decent but most certainly suboptimal. A lot of studies show benefits above 40. When you think about it, 15 minutes of sun cannot be optimal considering how much time our ancestors spent outside. 15 minutes is enough so that...

It's not really that high, and it could make sense that as you normalize vit D, blood calcium normalize as well, as vitD is needed for calcium absorption. 1.25 mg of vit D is a serious dose, but it will take months regardless to really normalize, you might end up overshooting at that level...

I've never been convinced by full time keto, I don't think it's natural for most people, unless you're from an eskimo tribe or something. Sure low carb, like around 50-100 g a day, from actual fruits only and not refined shit. But going actual keto long term when healthy, I'm skeptical, and I...

When I want to stop coffee for a while, I just go decaffeinated for 2 weeks, then stop, the decaffeinated is enough for me to not get the headaches, and is low enough to not have it either when completely stopping.

For me eating actual food and a exercising had massive benefits, but not as much as I expected for weight loss. What really sealed the deal with intermittent fasting, that made me lose weight fairly quick. Now, when I gain a few kg, I just go 20-4 a while and it works. It's not even hard.

I've used probiotic vsl3 twice, once after a colonoscopy and once after my yearlyish food intoxication, it's surprisingly good. But certainly not something I'd used in normal situations (2/3 fermented food do the trick).

No I'm talking about intra cellular melatonin. Melanin is another mecanism through which your skin will adapt to sun exposure. Plenty of shit happening when you expose yourself properly to the sun, all year round, multiples times a day, that no pill will fully compensate. Vit D supplement is...

Or just walk or do some gardening or whatever but expose yourself to the sun more. Physical activities and the sun will both boost testosterone. That being said, it's next to impossible for most people to get enough sun exposure, a comparable amount to what pre-industrial folks had, so vitD is...

I drink mostly coffee, sometimes I'll go a few months without coffee, sometimes I'll go green tea. Pretty sure green tea is a bit better for the health, and I do find myself having more energy when drinking green tea. But I don't like tea nearly as much as coffee... Pretty much every single...

It's nice, and definitely a lot better than sitting all day long (basicaly, sitting 8+ hours a day is as bad for your health as smoking... Still, it's even better if you can manage to walk 1 hour a day outdoor in the wild, to get the various other benefit associated to it.

Well this thread is about living to 100, it seems, you aren't likely to achieve that by eating frozen pizza and trying to compensate with pills. It does take some effort though, you're right. While 100 years ago it would have been difficult to buy shitty food and to not get the proper amount of...

Taking a pill of caffeine will increase your cortisol level. Green tea is a proven adaptogen, lowering cortisol level. It's precisely what I'm talking about, by trying to pick and choose nutriments from whole food you usually end up in a bad place. Caffeine is bad, ecgc is bad. But packed in...

I meant 3,4 and 5 sorry Well even 2, it depends on what you mean by probiotic, if it's fermented food sure, a supplement, why? Supplement can be nice here and there, but taking a dozens pills daily, I doubt it's going to do anywhere near as good as adapting your food. It's quite documented that...
