    Eating properly is indeed difficult, but it's not something you can't manage. 250g of Steak one meal, 4 eggs and 100g of Ham/Sardine the other and you're at 120g of protein, which should be enough for building muscle, and definitely a whole lot better for your health in the long run than protein...

    This one is a frankenfood why 30+ ingrededients, it's both whey protein and has a bunch of vitamin added. I guess if you're taking it for a couple of weeks as a supplement, maybe it could be beneficial, but I guess that would be as bad as any other ultraprocessed meat in the long run.

    Depend on what you're trying to achieve. If you're trying to lose weight, might be better to eat after walking, with lot of fat/protein to try to not overeat. If you're trying to fix or prevent diabetes, walking right after eating will significantly decrease blood glucose peak. If you're...

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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.
