Re: Coffee vs Tea and Homocysteine
Just really confused as to why it jumped up to 10s again with the supplements I take and just the addition of the tea. I eat sardines 3 x per week and I do eat meat some. Maybe cut down on meat consumption? Any thoughts? I haven't really looked at the issues with tea and homocysteine, so I did a li...

Re: Coffee vs Tea and Homocysteine
Could someone give me your thoughts on my homocysteine journey? Two years ago I increased my coffee intake and my homocysteine went from low 8s to 10s. I cut back and saw it come to the high 8s. This all with supplementing with over 1.5 grams of B12, 1.667 grams of methylfolate, and 4 mg of B6. Last...

Re: Optimal Coq10 levels?
Hi all, I'm wondering what is optimal serum levels ug/mL for Coq10? Is it better to take Coq10 or Ubiquinol? Is Pqq and Quercetin very different? Mine was 0.57 ug/mL last spring, which my doctor found too low. What should I aim for? Thanks for your thoughts! Hi Plumster, My FMD checked this recentl...

Re: Lexapro - sleep - increased HBA1c
Thank you Floramaria! There is a laundry list of side effects. I'm not sure it helps with sleep and have read it could hurt sleep. I do feel like I've exhausted everything to help me sleep better. I've been seeing a Bredesen trained doctor but she has only been able to recommend melatonin, L-theani...

Re: Lexapro - sleep - increased HBA1c
Theanine may also help with anxiety. It's helped me through some very challenging caregiving times. During periods when things were more stable I'd stop taking it and then start again when I realized that circumstances had sent my stress into outer orbit again. It seemed to help me cope better each...

Re: Lexapro - sleep - increased HBA1c
Hey Everyone, My wife has been taking 10 mg of Lexapro for over a year and a half for anxiety. It's really helped her anxiety levels. But we did see a jump in her HBA1c levels. When she started she was 5.3 and her last test recently she jumped to 5.8. Does anyone know if there are studies linking L...
