Markers of Thyroid function Most important: Body temp immediately after waking(98 degrees) and 30 mins after first meal. (98.2 or above) Morning temp can be influenced by stress hormones so we take both here. If you wake up at 98 degrees or higher then drop below after eating we have a problem. Morning Pulse high can confirm this as well along side temp Recommend taking orally as it helps with longer term compliance and Broda Barnes suggestion was a mercury thermometer under the armpit which takes about 10 minutes each time. Consistency and uniformity mater most. Pulse: 70-85 bpm This is highly variable from person to person and depends on aerobic fitness. High school athlete? Ect. Once again consistency and uniformity of measurement matters most. Markers that help you regain autonomy for your health and give you a much better overall picture outside a single snapshot in time(bloodwork) -cold hands cold feet (no this isn’t normal if you’re a girl either) -energy -mood -mental function -libido -bp -weight gain -digestion -hair/skin/nails Bloodwork -TSH -Free T3 T4 -reverse T3 -cholesterol This is a crapshoot to read sometimes and don’t feel bad because Doctors get it wrong all the time. TSH only really relevant if elevated (above 1.4 maybe even lower - hypothyroid). When suppressed then we can look to see t3 & t4. Upper reference range? Great although not the full picture. T3 can be elevated in serum yet depleted in tissue. TSH high T4 high yet t3 lower end? We will likely see rT3 elevated indication hypothyroid. TSH low t3 &t4 low rT3 is most likely elevated. High Cholesterol isn’t always directly linked to hypothyroidism but it’s a good confirmation. Cholesterol gets backed up because we need t3 to convert it into downstream hormones. 9 out of 10 times I see a high cholesterol on bloods we can bet TSH is above 1.4 and body temp is not ideal.

@izem000 lol this dude tore his ACL standing up saw David’s penis is Florence then started yelling at everyone about sun All the keyboard warriors felt better on 1 hour of sun vs 0 Genius lol

Hey Kruse, how about: When you pack mitochondria into fat, you are stealing that energy from your brain and heart—the two organs that actually determine how long you live.

“It does appear that I am lost… But that has never stopped me before!”

I’d rather drop dead than buy a “doctor recommended” product

@MichaelLexner @PGC1a_RB

Agree with most concepts But take no sides Remain gray It's better that way

@izem000 lol My health is a wreak but I never back down from cqc with adductor machine! Overtraining is a myth!! I am man’s man lol

@MichaelLexner Loool yea bro fighting for our life under a nautilus machine 500mg of caffeine and a couple farts preworkout Waking up 2 times at night to pee as post workout

Overtraining in isolation is very difficult to do. Almost impossible if you’re not an athlete Overtraining when considering your lifestyle might be a different story Lifestyle includes everything.. your habits and obligations Maybe you’re under recovering Maybe your lifestyle leaves you stressed and inflamed so wtv volume you do just adds oil to the fire Stop think about just muscles If you have gut issues, inflammation, tendonitis, joint pain, need large amount of stimulants just to function.. there’s a problem Could be your training isn’t adapted to your lifestyle or that your lifestyle needs revising There’s no one size fits all

There's an argument to be made, like in professional sports, that poor sleep the night before a competition can be beneficial due to increased cortisol and adrenaline, along with the heightened focus that comes w/ them. But is that just something coaches say to soothe the athletes? Maybe. We're not competing, though, and you're experiencing a stress response from fasting that long. IMO it’d be far more beneficial to save that energy for cognitive function, since it seems to be part of your job. Also, why risk getting injured if not making millions to play a game?

@MichaelLexner i've heard that training whilst fasted is actually better for you? but every time i've ever done it in the past i just felt weaker

started my 48 hour fast this evening i want to train deadlifts on tuesday whilst at about 42 hours fasted. will i be fine or should i take it easy?

@Leo_Abstract @cynomel lol describes my inta perfectly

I added dextrose to my coffee and I’m still a fat gay retarded chud wtf?

@PGC1a_RB @BowTiedTed Know if I go unexpectedly I went cup overflowing “As a well‑spent day brings happy sleep, so life well‑used brings happy death.”

@MichaelLexner @BowTiedTed So that's why you're always relatively cheerful

I had Lyme disease twice growing up The first time, I was just a kid. Found a tick on the side of my chest and got the classic bullseye rash Tried to go play outside and couldn't run 10 yards without being completely winded. Took me awhile to recover both times I got it Lyme is no joke - some people become permanently disabled by it. It's extremely complex, absolutely wrecks your immune system, and there's not a clear treatment protocol The testing is also unreliable, and not everyone has the same symptoms (or even the rash), so diagnostics are very hard Don't take chances with it

@gatordadsteve @exfatloss lol I had to spell out cystatin c once for my pcp I’ll never forget it. He was ordering shit for me he never heard of so couldn’t hate him too much

@exfatloss @MichaelLexner The woman at the front desk asked me what half these tests are for lol.

@MichaelLexner 25 vials given. There were so many that they had to use a 2nd vein 😂

@milkythyroid @PGC1a_RB It helps Richard mind control us with his tweets don’t do it

@PGC1a_RB What for exactly

Glycine in your yogurt Glycine on your berries and fruit Glycine on your sweet potato Glycine in your ice cream Better more glycine than not enough

@PGC1a_RB @izem000

@gatordadsteve lol amazing

@gatordadsteve @PGC1a_RB Reason?

@MichaelLexner @PGC1a_RB Nope. Just T3.

What improper long restriction does to a dumb bitch (and that bitch is me)

@gatordadsteve @PGC1a_RB No t4?

@MichaelLexner @PGC1a_RB My TSH has always been over 3. I started T3 a few months ago and am taking 10mcg AM and 10mcg afternoon. Will be interested to see what changed. I dont feel different and I suspect my metabolism is also similar.
