Re: Ozempic

Following up because I listened to Attia’s podcasts this past week. He added some important nuances to his argument. If a patient comes to him with ten pounds to lose for a bikini body, absolutely not, he’s not prescribing a GLP-1 because they will end up worse health-wise than when they began. Betw...

Re: E4 Reactions to COVID Vaccine

I had the Moderna shot on 2/18, and had ‘COVID arm’ rash show up eight days later. It didn’t hurt, but it was bright red, about the size of my hand, warm to the touch and ITCHY. I couldn’t have most clothing touching it or it would drive me crazy. I’ve been exhausted all this week, without any real ...

Re: Questions on diet

There are multiple types of SIBO. I believe the antibiotics have about a 50% success rate on the hydrogen type, but only a 20% success rate on the methanogen type. With the methanogen type it’s harder to kill the archaebacteria involved—they’re tricky and like to hide out, play dead. One thing I wil...

Re: Questions on diet

When myself or my kids had multiple diagnoses at once, we always sat down with our doctor and listed them in order of the top three things dramatically impacting our life. And then we worked down the list. Most of the diets you listed are going to help the others. They may not cure each item, but ea...

Re: Sleep Tracker

I don’t feel sleepy. I never ever would have taken that much on my own! No, it’s not for APOE4. I started seeing him because I wanted a GP who understood Epigenetics and who could help me walk that fine line APOE4/4 demands. I wasn’t in his office five minutes though before he waved off any talk of ...

Re: Milk alternatives?

Walnut milk is similar: 1 cup of raw walnuts, soaked, then blended with 4 cups of warm water. Strain in a fine mesh bag. I’ll add that I save the pulp I get from making these milks, and freeze them. Then when I have enough I put them in fine mesh bags in a dehydrator to make my own flour. It’s quick...

Re: Milk alternatives?

Hemp milk is pretty easy and inexpensive to make. I buy hemp seed in bulk on amazon, 2lbs for $18. It’s 1/2 cup of hemp seed to 4 cups warm water in a blender, blend and strain. It comes out to be about $1.50/quart.

Re: More questions about diet

So a few things...people DID have diabetes and Alzheimer’s back then, we just didn’t know how to diagnose them as such. I’ve seen historical pieces that reference sugar in the urine in the 17th century. Also, people didn’t tend to live such an old age, so this may not be much of an argument to hang ...

Re: NR and NMN

I’m in the middle of reading his book. Much of it is well over my head, so I am appreciating the podcasts because they help repackage some of the info in a way that makes sense to me. Then I go back and reread that portion of the book and it clicks. Well, most of the podcasts at least. The Joe Rogan...
