Re: fasting glucose and a1c
I recommend keeping a food diary and using a glucose monitor every morning to check your fasting blood sugar. You will find that the morning reading will really fluctuate depending on what you ate the day/night before. I sometimes have readings over 100 in the morning, but sometimes it's in the 80s....

Re: High HDL risk factor for AD
My HDL is usually over 100. What's the best way to bring it down?! My doctors always praised this number in the past.

Re: Lots of anxiety about neuropsychological testing appointment
Thank you so much for your thorough response. I appreciate the advice to take it slowly and address one potential problem at a time. The supplements/organic foods are already taking a toll on my budget. So happy and relieved to hear that your speaking issues have improved!

Re: Lots of anxiety about neuropsychological testing appointment
Personally I found it helpful to have this tidbit of information related to this specific problem I was experiencing since it helped me put special focus on detoxification, in the midst of the many areas where modification and optimization are advised. I have found that over the past couple of year...

Re: Lots of anxiety about neuropsychological testing appointment
Your example of saying "soon" when you might have meant "recently" is a great example of what a professor of cognition called our brains acting like the kid whose hand is always raised first in class: We're reaching for a word that expresses a time concept that means "close...

Re: Can glutathione level be too high?
I mentioned it to my neurologist, and he just blew it off like it wasn't a big deal. Would love to know if you find out anything!

Can glutathione level be too high?
My lab result for total glutathione was flagged as high. The reference range was 176-323 - mine was 325. I've never taken any glutathione supplements, but I am a little obsessed with foods that are high in glutathione (broccoli, Greek yogurt, etc.). At first, I was happy with lab results, but now I'...
