Had you had any viral assessments? Many cases of fibro or CFS have been caused by post-viral exposure HCV, HIV, Coxsackie B, and Parvovirus. Maybe worth discussing this possibility with an immunologist? It may not necessarily be the virus itself but an exhausted immune system fighting with something which is driving chronic low-grade minor inflammation causing slow progressive mitochondrial damage and hence loss of energy production and fatigue -> pain. Consider working with a functional medicine doctor or a naturopath to get to the bottom of this.

I think you mean something called "leaky gut syndrome?" No, that one is very complex and pure carbohydrates (glucose or fructose) do not do that. Pure gluten such as seitan may but this condition is usually driven by intestinal inflammation, alcohol, toxicity, toxic bacteria in the gut, tobacco, excessive use of antibiotics and things like that. Carbs won't do that to you don't worry That being said some people have a condition called coeliac disease and for them gluten in certain carbohydrates can make them pretty messed up even causing leaky gut so yah in that sense it is technically possible

Don't know anything about your particular AI condition but legumes have never been correlated with worsened progress of any autoimmune condition. In fact their strong anti-inflammatory benefits as well as immunomodulating prebiotic fibre makes them beneficial for autoimmunity if anything. Unless ofcourse your condition is one of the IBDs and eating high fibre food gives you cramping, in which case you need to be more careful ofcourse

@Preety_India carbs should be the staple of your diet unless you are following a ketogenic, carnivore or any form of elimination diet. They should make around 50% of your caloric content. Really good breakdown by @dflores321 , basically as he said you want to make sure your carbs come from complex ones that are high in fibre so that your microbiome is also supported. I wouldn't bother tracking or calorie counting or any of that just make sure all your meals have a decent carb portion and if the food give you brain fog it is likely you used too many simple carbs,.

I don't have any particular resource but you can check the book I recommended when we spoke Having some functional muscle does for sure, being huge is counterproductive but staying active and fit will prolong your life and quality of life for sure.

Been extending my scope of research into toxins, heavy metals, pesticides, household contamination and general environmental medicine lately. More of my clients have shown interest in this and I've realised I definitely need to widen my scope of awareness & therapeutics. A few brilliant books were added to my medical library and have been a wonderful guides. I've never fully realised how deep this rabbit hole goes and I will be extending my current health assessment that I always do with a general environmental profile. This is not something we have really been taught at school, which currently surprises me considering how much research there is already out there especially around heavy metals and pesticides. I've been in denial of this topic at first, didn't believe heavy metals and toxins are a real concern to anyone , I've been sceptical of chelation and necessity for cleansing programmes but I don't think so anymore, I think humanity is facing the greatest onslaught of environmental toxicity we've ever seen and all the types of toxin-associated cancers and disease are on the rise so this seems like the perfect time to invest in expanding my practice so that this not become my blind spot or an ignore elephant in the room. Listening to Leo's JP video I have experienced a call from above. As if call to put more work into my spirituality and from higher stages of the spiral, maybe I've been keeping myself too stuck with all this materialistic study and maybe I need to put more effort into grounding and letting go rather than acquiring more knowledge all the time. At one point I feel a powerful sense of connection to my life purpose and to my tiny business but at the same time I realise that in the grand scheme of things I will eventually be attracted to higher values. Helping other people is what gives me the highest satisfaction at the moment and I can't imagine doing something else for the living but maybe the practice will evolve at some point to something different. I will keep myself more receptive for more signs from the universe

Sounds like you have a huge orange shadow there my friend. Remember that this person is probably doing what he thinks is best to be happy and to feel loved with the knowledge and information and resources he has available. This person is not stupid, they just have a different worldview to you. Make sure not to look down on people just because they are at a different stage of perception of reality. We are all growing and learning from our own mistakes. Looking back at my teenage years, I can see a lot of dysfunction but that's ok, at that time I though that was the best thing to do. Perhaps you need to put more work into your self-development as well if you perceive your clients as stupid and dumb.

Great tips buddy, thanks for sharing!

@Twega good stuff! If you're interested in this stuff definitely look into pituitary hormones and the function of hypothalamus in hormone regulation. That's where it all starts

Everything done out of desire or need is driven by ego but that does not mean these things are bad. As @BlackMaze said don't do it to show off and pick up girls (ofcourse that's a benefit) but do it for better health and longevity and so that you can enjoy greater health and can focus on what's really important such as your LP. For a male, quality of health increases proportional to how much lean muscle tissue you have but it does not have to be excessive nor should it be fake (e.g. using steroids, and 20 chemicals in huge plastic pots). Aim at acquiring muscle through natural means (calisthenics & bodyweight) combined with some iron work so that you also work on your agility, flexibility and overall mobility rather than being big and stiff

Get some basic medical assessment. Not sure about your age but i guess prostate is not a concern? Blood sugar may be worth exploring and also urinary infection. Could there be a stress factor causing the urge to pee frequently?

@Preety_India that's a very utilitarian perception of a male partner, sounds more like a house-elf. Nothing wrong with guys being caring anf handy ofcourse but I'm missing somr deeper qualities in that post rather than just serving the woman's needs

@Amilaer--- i agree that sun gives you much more especially on the energetic side side of the body. Vitamin D is like the 10% of the visible iceberg

"After giving birth, woman's attraction will switch to a soy, feminine men who look after another man's children" This fucking video should be in the description of the orange mega threat. So basically if you're not swinging your 30cm dick around and shagging at least 3 booties a day, you're a worthless piece of soy-boy, cuckold beta male. Fun stuff

Finished the video today. If people can watch this with an open mind and without judgement it will be life-changing. All of humanity's problems explained in one video and as someone struggling with a non-dual perception of the reality, the last 15 minutes were quite mindblowing. This was like a summary of your last 2 years work handed on a silver platter. This and the integrity videos were the top so far this year. ""God"" bless your work

Love seeing this one come back to life. Anyone posted this gem yet? I might be late to the party

@levani you may want to check Seth Godin's This is Marketing. Somebody recommended it to me here and it is gold. Not your traditional "screw your client over"marketing advice thou but necessary if you want to make your life purpose a profitable career as well

soak them overnight, then boil to the point you can effortlessly squash them, then start small. A tablespoon a day. You'll build up the tolerance soon as your gut adjusts

there's much more to worry about from 300grams of it daily than iron overload especially since (it seems like) you are limiting your fibre intake largely so losing the protection against all the damage in the gut. None of my business but I'd say try to shuffle out some of that red meat with some plant proteins if you wanna be around long enough to see your grandchildren also, take EXTREME caution when listening into Frank Tufano. I watched many of vis videos and some of his advice is flat out dangerous and insane.

There will often be occasional rogue studies pointing to something and saying "this is wrong". This study does it nicely. Their aim, if you notice, was not to see whether there is any correlation between serum vitamin D and covid complications. They were looking at Genetically predicted variation in serum vitamin D status, instrumented by genome-wide significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with serum vitamin D or risk of vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency. Which basically means looking at the few genes polymorphisms (of which 99% we don't know yet) and seeing if they predispose a person to vitamin D deficiency and covid complications. This study is not interpreting the evidence of serum vitamin D and fatal outcomes of covid. The evidence presented by @Tetcher is actually very decent and good quality and not to be discounted the way you did. One of his links is a large systemic trial (highest quality of hierarchy of evidence) which clearly shows protective effect. Just because an observational study looking at genetic snips shows no correlation does not mean there is none. You can't draw a correlation between 2 factors when covid is systemic and multifactorial infection. A multitude of systems and molecules are in play and vitamin D, based on overall evidence, is helpful regardless of what this observation study shows. The majority of the human population is largely deficient or borderline deficient and 80/100 people will benefit from vitamin D supplementation because most of us get nowhere near enough sunshine or eat enough dietary D. All this study does is probably create another hysteria in media discounting people from getting their vitamin D in check as they rightfully should Also I want point out that nowhere in the Cornell study did they actually make a stratification of : how much vitamin D do ppl have and how much does that impact complications. They simply said: are you deficient? Yes? No? But based on their criteria you could be deficient with 50nmol/l but not be deficient at 76nmol/l and that would already skew the results because we know from larger systemic trials that optimal value of D is between 160-170nmol/L. I would love to see a study looking at the levels and how complications evolve as levels increase. You can't just say: deficient or not. You need to show by how much or by how little which they failed to do

It takes much longer than 3-5 days to run out of electrolytes, your body conserves them in kidneys, adrenals, nervous system and digestive tract because historically we would have evolved in an environment with a limited amount of sodium. Potassium is abundant and so is magnesium and once you stop moving around and will mostly rest, you won't burn through your storage. You'd have to be starving yourself for a month for it to start affecting your heart, the body is very efficient and resourceful at obtaining electrolytes if they are not coming from diet, it'll find them from somewhere else. It is a nice safety precaution to be sure thou.

@sausagehead he is referring to a lot of random blogs and any studies he uses are invitro basically dripping coffee on a petri dish and mixing it with one other thing and seeing what happens. The MRI stuff is quite interesting though. Yes caffeine may have some beta-adrenergic antagonistic effects constricting blood vessels but larger studies on humans actually show beneficial effects for dementia and alzheimer's and stroke all of which are partially also shown by lack of cerebral oxygenation so it ain't as simple as that. Plus they only looked at one person, there could be other factors in play such as being stressed as fuck from being on video and being put in a coffin (getting MRI feels like being buried alive). If this guy was looking for objective truth he would have to start from the top of the hierarchy of evidence which is systematic trial and meta-analyses, most of those show beneficial effect of caffeine. Isolated in vitro studies are the bottom of hierarchy of evidence. He clearly has a bias against it and was looking for studies supporting that bias.

Definitely not, contains corn syrup + sugar, soy concentrate, calcium caseinate ( poorly-absorbable form of calcium) and calcium phosphate (you want to minimise phosphate intake to absolute minimum) Any form of soy proteins should always be avoided despite all the benefits of fermented soy, this stuff is definitely not good for you although I've seen worse

@Roy seems like a shade of grey with a splash of light green? [add the artistic meme]
