This is EXACTLY what I've observed this morning. The more I "dance"and the more I move around the more uncomfortable it gets but once you take control of your breathing and actually go through the experience fully, it becomes more tolerable.

wicked

there probably isn't one diet for all but it seems the Mediterranean is a median carrying the benefits of multiple other with its high content of whole foods , relatively low content of animal food and low alcohol and sugar. Keep experimenting and you'll find out what works for you but I wouldn't leave it till the day problems start to emerge. Hit me up if you'd like to talk about that, don't wanna spam the forum oh man, there's a lot. I think Nutritionfacts.org is brilliant. I like Mark Hyman, Rangan Chaterjee and some of Kris Kresser's stuff as well

@ROOBIO anxiety can be driven by physiological, psychological, emotional and spiritual components. Perhaps try to see if you can identify a pattern. When was the last time you felt normal and what happened since then? Do you have areas in your life where you experience major unfulfillment or the feeling of being trapped? (eg marriage, relationships, carer & purpose, emotional wellbeing, bereavement etc) Are there areas you are resisting a change or are you holding something inside that needs to be processed and let go of? Also consider doing some basic medical tests. How is your health? Digestion, cognitive performance, energy. Get your vitamin D and iron checked. How is your diet? Exercise? Any addictions? Do you live in polluted area? Any medication? Stimulants, recreational drugs, alcohol, smoking? Sedentary lifestyle?

One day when you hit 1000000 subs and go around the world doing talks like Matt Kahn, I'll add this to my favourite quotes journal by the most influential spiritual gurus

The final ride to London and back is done and I can finally close that chapter of my life. Endless moving, packing unpacking, repainting is finally over. This is what the last 3 months lead down to, we had to jump through a lot of shitstorms to move countries and change home but so far it seems it was worth it. The area is breathtaking, the Welsh coast is unlike anything I've seen before. The cliffs are towering over 100 meters above the sea level and the waves crashing at them peak up to the size of a small apartment building, the endless brute force that has been shaping this landscape for hundreds of thousands of years endlessly. There are beaches, unlike anything I've ever seen. Not the usual shitty beaches full of hotels and tourist attractions but pure, pristine beaches with forests behind them and massive cliffs surrounding them. Some of them are the size of Heathrow airport. Many of them only appear during low-tide and couple of hours later they are gone, this is pretty fascinating I've never seen such a dynamic landscape, the country we cross at 10 am is completely different to the country at 6 pm when the water level has changed. There are hundreds of caves and thousands of kilometers of yet undiscovered cave systems hidden deep inside the landscape, from what I've been told those are the oldest parts of this country and some great archaeological discoveries have been made there of human remains dating back to paleolithic era. As with everything else, those caves disappear during high tide but I'm hoping we'll be lucky enough to see some of them up close. We explored an ancient tomb evidently dating back to around 2000 BC, it was a fascinating place surrounded by an old forest and once can imagine what this area looked like when this thing was still in use.

some people found a combination of glucosamine and chondroitin helpful but it does do not solve the root cause, they can just be transformed into the proteoglycans that make the bulk of the cartilage more readily. Your diet plays will every important in the regeneration and healing off the tissue unless of course there is a mechanical injury. As a runner, you're producing a lot of oxidative particles so the diet needs to be filled with antioxidants and a good amount of protein and fats for joint health & function. depending on your age and activity it may be but it could also be an improper running technique or inadequate shoewear, hard to say.

Sounds like you are coming down with flu (maybe you even caught covid). Nothing to worry about but monitor for very high fever (over 39 degrees celsius) Warm vegetable soups, lots of fruits and vegetable juices. Avoid most protein-rich foods, junk food and sugarEat mostly light, small portions. Sleep a lot, avoid exercising but get some fresh air daily at least by opening windows. If you want you can also fast through it on some vegetable juices. You could also get an echinacea tincture, 50mg of zinc citrate and start getting your vitamin D in check unless you are taking it already. Generally if your symptoms are mild-to moderate you are fine. Other things that can help are warm drinks containing some ginger, lemon and raw honey. If you can tolerate it I would advise against using pharmaceuticals unless you are in a state of emergency Note if you start experiencing difficulty breathing and extreme fever, seek out medical emergency assistance If your symptoms prevail over 48-72 hours, call an ambulanc

This one can be difficult to pinpoint but few known suspects are: * prolonged exposure to environmental toxins like lead, BPA, POPs and other stuff * exposure in pre-natal state through maternal exposure * being born through c-section and/or not having been breast fed * prolonged vitamin D deficiency * compromised gut health and/or dysbiosis and/or permeable gut * having obstructive sleep apnea or sleep disturbance * excessive exposure to stimulants in childhood Hard to say without doing proper digging. I'd also consider reading "scattered minds" from Gabor Matte, it may be that this has a strong spiritual and emotional component.

Yes I did, at least I hope so, haven't had asthma attack for over 3 years and allergies for over 2 so fingers crossed You know I threw so much stuff at those two that I don't even know anymore but with asthma, the greatest difference happened by going mainly plant-based and reducing the intensity of my workouts. With allergies, I did a bit of immunomodulation using medicinal mushroom complex, echinacea and buteyko breathing which included taping my mouth at night. It really depends on whats your trigger. For example, asthma may be coming from compromised gut integrity or from chronic inflammation caused by poor diet and environmental toxins. Being obese is also a risk factor for it because the fat body is constantly inflamed. it may also be caused by being born through c-section, not having been breast-fed, having had too many antibiotics as a kid ((especially before year 1) as well as being born to a house with extreme cleanliness. Generally, the two are tied together very much and they are, sometimes, the same condition just manifesting itself in a different way because some of those trigger molecules are the same. Or it could be one causing the other such as the body inappropriately reacting to an antigen which causes constriction of the throat and wheezing. Allergies are still a great mystery Also generally the longer you've been on a corticosteroid inhaler, the more difficult it is to treat but I would say in the majority of cases, asthma is curable although allergies are a tougher nut to crack

on its own it is mostly useless but there is decent evidence for its use if combined with other protocols and a well balanced diet aimed at liver support You'd first have to assume that ALA can only be found in supplements, the body is creating it constantly in each cell as it is one of the greatest antioxidants intracellularly and a major protector of mitochondrial integrity which is often compromised in conditions like depression, alzheimer's CFS etc. ALA has a great amount of evidence for diabetes and CVD and I'm yet to see evidence of its side effects but I have to admit I am not familiar with the chelating side of it so perhaps you're right on that if somebody has extreme stores of heavy metals. Yes, I think so too that this is not any sort of immunological thing (like allergies) but this is linked to something else, my guess is either enzymatic deficiency or past liver damage or something going on in the gut (eg gut permeability) but could be a combination of all since gut & liver are connected through the gut-brain-liver-microbiome axis which pretty much means that if liver struggles, depression will quickly follow. You also mentioned insomnia above, which can be caused by a deficiency in liver detoxification as well, massively pale stools may also be pancreatic insufficiency your doctor can test for Pancreatic Elastase 1, it is really easy to test and very very accurate. It may also be bile deficiency (do you have your gall bladder still? EVer had a gall stone or bile duct obstruction? it is more yellow meaning there is undigested fat left in it. Definitely mention this to your doc, I think stool testing would reveal much. Either that or something like Organic Acids Tests privately. (usually costs up to 400 $ thou. I would say Matt that it seems like you are heading the right way with investigating this so definitely keep it up.

I might have read that one as well. Obesity basically means being locked in 24/7 low-grade inflammation which means 24/7 immune system on high alert. Now add a new type of virus to that and the chances of ending up with cytokine storm are increased 500 fold. Not to mention an obese person cannot muster an immune reaction strong enough and fast enough plus majority of these people are severely nutrient deprived despite being in hypercaloric state.

I can't quite tell if you're a troll or not

ah so you're looking for a shortcut to perfect health "Pssst hey kid, wanna buy some steroids", organic, vegan, non-GMO, soy-free, soil association certified (not from China )

Throughout all the years of my training I have never heard of high thiol foods being problematic. I did a bit of digging into this topic and it seems the problem here is the amino acid called cysteine because it has sulphur locked in its molecular structure so I wonder if this comes down to sulphur intolerance. Seems like some people may genuinely have a genetic deficiency in sulphur detoxification but it may also be that the liver needs some extra support and it may also be that your stores of glutathione (the master antioxidant in the body) are not optimal (or something else). Here is few things (along the elimination ) you may try 1. A functional testing could reveal some stuff. Something like this: https://www.gdx.net/product/methylation combined with this https://www.gdx.net/core/sample-reports/Organic-Acids-Sample-Report.pdf. This would be VERY expensive thou so maybe as a last resort. 2. You could ask your doctor for an assessment of a gene called methyltetrahydrofolate-reductase (MTHFR) and whether there are any genetic "snips", but I would be surprised if this is an issue (may be part of the problem, hard to tell) 3. Experimentally, you could try taking some S-adenosyl methionine (SAMe) along with reduced glutathione as well as a methylated B-complex for a short time (4-6 weeks) and see if that makes you feel better (if it does it would be an indication which way to go next and would reinforce the need for point 1) Observe symptoms thou and stop if it makes you feel worse (it shouldn't). ALpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) may help as well, it seems. 4.You may also try to ask your doctor if you could have your liver function assessed including the CYP family of enzymes. + While doing all of that look up some foods beneficial for liver health and if you can tolerate them, add them in. Adding teas like dandelion or milk thistle may help as well. And finally, sufficient fibre content is also important in detoxification so make sure to keep consuming enough high fibre foods (the ones you can tolerate) to help you eliminate detoxified stuff from the body. ++ Also adding few choline-rich foods (if you can tolerate) as well as beets (if you can tolerate) to support methylation pathway. +++ adding some zinc-rich foods you can tolerate. You said you can't consume legumes and don't consume any seafood so we could assume a potential zinc deficiency. Perhaps adding 1-2 oysters 3 times a week if you can tolerate them? Or just 25mg of zinc citrate before bedtime for up to 3 months. This article was very helpful but may be a bit too advanced but perhaps you could print it for your doctor? You may also consider working with a functional medicine doctor or someone well versed in functional medicine, this a very complex stuff and there is only so much MD will be able to help here.

yeah, a young body can tolerate a lot of abuse without any consequences but it may start catching up. When you are young, your cells are still powerful, mitochondria mostly functional and the body is better at storing resources. All the energetic pathways function optimally so even at poor nutrient intake, it is easy to have a lot of energy unless you have become very obese or sick. In guys, the peak health is somewhere around 25-30 after which the first symptoms may start to appear usually in form of depression, fatigue, brain fog and digestive problems. However, if the diet was VERY bad and combined with poor genetics and bad growing up in an unhealthy environment (lack of cooking habit, smoking parents, stress, abuse, dysfunctional family dynamics) you may see the first problem as early as 15 usually in the form of mental health problems. I am sure folks n the forum has lots of stories to share on how they transformed their health for the better. Personally I was lucky to have been born to a fairly healthy family so, besides asthma and allergies in past, I was fortunate to have always had good health but I've seen the health of others transform fairly quickly once put on a decent diet and once lifestyle was optimised. If you are a mind worker and use a lot of brain capacity, then or nutrition will have 100% impact on everything you do. Memory, concentration, peak attention, executive function, formation of new synaptic connections etc. Your energy will be impacted as well as mental health, digestion, immunity, metabolism and pretty much everything else including skin, hair, eyes, teeth. recommended resources This is very individual and different people resonate with different stuff but generally and statistically the most prevalent evidence aims towards something along the line of Mediterranean diet with an abundance of natural whole foods, cooked at home from scratch with minimal use of processed foods. Ofcourse this is a drastic simplification but there are videos, books, seminars on how to get closer to that. Star y eliminating sources of processed junk and deliveries/takeaways replacing them for real food cooked at home and you'll see a great difference within 2 weeks. Hit me up if you have any questions.

Helps to unconscious become, free from suffering and desire.

Could be lower thyroid function but also sign of chronic stress or just living in cold environment. Try eating a bit more "yang" foods. Like heavier aromatic dishes with heavy spices and some chilli. Exchange smoothies for warm oatmeals and cold salads for veggie soups and curries

@ilja I'm very aware of what PCRM do, have read some of Dr Barnard's studies as well. I think this is one of the best (if not THE best) protocols for reversing diabates type 2. My message was based on the fact that we should not guess but we need to test. IR is not something to joke with and if it is diagnosed, it needs to be treated asap.

@Preety_India Again we are talking about milligrams of chemicals. You breathe in more in the first 20 seconds when entering the main street in your city (or any city). I don't dispute that they may be harmful but once again there are bigger factors here that are 1000 times more harmful.

I would avoid any types of salted nuts because they are always also roasted and roasted nuts with salt are just pure junk food. The salmon is alright

unlikely in those amounts. We are talking about few drops per meal. Cancer doesn't develop from one thing, it is an accumulation of at least 50 - 100 types of offences and a combination of genetic, lifestyle and environmental exposure over 20-40 years. All these studies saying for example "dairy causes cancer" etc are usually poorly constructed because one single thing cannot give you cancer (unless you eat coal brick for dinner I guess)

Insulin resistance is the last stage before becoming full-blown type 2 diabetic, this is not something to take lightly. A poorly managed diabetes or insulin resistance can result in irreversible damage to your optic nerve, your nerves in the extremities, kidneys and progressive arterial narrowing. Step 1 : Go and get tested by your doctor. Ask them to test for blood glucose and HbA1C It is possible that these symptoms are linked to your gut not to you being insulin resistant. In fact, I am pretty sure this is the case No time to play around, book an appointment with your doc and get tested.

you're usually talking about milligrams of substance, yeah there may be additives but in such a tiny amount they are no issue. There are worse things we do to our bodies, I mean....people fry steaks on butter and gril bacon on an open fire lol,. Something like this won't really make a difference.

order some legumes, lentils & nuts in bulk such as here https://www.buywholefoodsonline.co.uk/ or here https://www.realfoods.co.uk/wholefoods or. Things like red lentils are literally 40-50% protein dry weight and for the cost of Pret coffee you can get 2 kilos. This is all the protein you'll need and the only one you can get if you are avoiding meat & soy. In terms of other produce: able & cole is good but imo large supermarkets like Asda are enough and they have good organic selection
