Re: CGM data question

I was keto-adapted and also fasting when I went to the Mayo Clinic for a routine colonscopy two years ago. My PCP ordered my annual blood tests before the procedure to be efficient with my time. A team of three medical staff bolted into my room before the colonoscopy started and informed me that my...

Re: CGM data question

Hi everyone...I am seeking some insight from experienced users of continuous glucose monitors. For those of you who use a CGM, do you see low glucose events, and if so, do you change anything about your diet to try to eliminate these? My point - if you are adapted, and you are, then there is no iss...

Hi everyone...I am seeking some insight from experienced users of continuous glucose monitors. I have been using a Freestyle LIbre continuous glucose monitor for almost a month (my available time using it is nearly up). My blood (actually interstitial) glucose numbers have generally been good. Fasti...

Re: Plasmalogens- exciting new evidence

Hi everyone, I am curious if those of you who are taking Prodrome-neuro also take DHA from other sources, ie. fish or algal oil. I am taking the plasmalogen currently, and I remember that in one of Dr. Goodnowe's presentations, he states that no other plasmalogen source is needed. However, I am tryi...

Re: Supplements that may cause internal bleeding?

This is a stab in the dark, but you all are more familiar with the supplements Hi Metta4, I concur with roxanne that high fish oil, combined with other "blood thinning" foods and supplements, and especially medications, may be a cause of bleeding. I was reading precautions regarding high ...

Ketosis clarification question

A few months ago, I watched one of Dale Bredesen's Facebook videos in which he and Julie were describing features of The End of Alzheimer's Program (thanks, Julie...very helpful!). I remember that he said that one should try to be in ketosis during some part of the day. So my question is this: if on...

Re: omega-3 index won't budge

Thank you. I will increase the DHA supplementation. The Omegaquant report recommends against trying to decrease omega6, (which I did anyway by much reducing nut/seed intake), but instead to increase omega 3. My Omegaquant report also indicated that I was low in arachidonic acid, which might have res...

omega-3 index won't budge

Good afternoon, I recently received the results of omega-3 testing from Omegaquant. Six months ago, my omega-3 index was 8.1. I was eating a vegan diet with a lot of nuts for protein at that time, so I decided to decrease the intake of nuts and add salmon and sardines to my diet. The only oils I use...

Re: Nocturia issues -- suggestions?

I was evaluated by a Urologist for nocturia, which was a source of frequent night time awakenings. I had made and brought to the appointment a pretty detailed record of what I drank, how much and when, and also how much and when I urinated - about a week's worth of data. Based on the amount voided, ...
