@HansAmato I don't think that you can order your own lab tests in NYS?

this should make every man in this country lose his fucking mind: your annual physical costs $300. your doctor spends 13 minutes with you. he orders a basic metabolic panel and maybe a lipid panel. total lab cost to the lab: about $12. billed to insurance at $800. your testosterone test, if he even runs one, is total testosterone only. one number. he compares it to a reference range that includes 80 year old men on dialysis. you fall "within range" at 340 ng/dL at age 29. he says you're fine. visit over a self-ordered panel through a direct lab company costs $150 out of pocket. no appointment. no referral. no 6-week wait. walk into any Quest or Labcorp location tomorrow morning. results in 48 hours on your phone that $150 panel gives you: free testosterone (the only form your body uses) SHBG (the protein binding your testosterone and making it useless) estradiol sensitive (if this is high your testosterone is being converted to estrogen) DHT (the androgen responsible for drive, confidence, and sexual function) prolactin (if elevated it's suppressing everything downstream) free T3 and free T4 (your actual thyroid output, not just TSH which lags months behind real problems) reverse T3 (if high your body is actively blocking thyroid hormone from entering cells) hs-CRP (systemic inflammation) homocysteine (cardiovascular and neurological damage marker) fasting insulin (catches metabolic dysfunction years before glucose goes abnormal) your doctor didn't order any of these $300 and a 13-minute appointment got you a number that means nothing without context. $150 and a walk-in lab visit got you the complete picture of why you feel like shit and exactly where the breakdown is occurring one of these options gives you answers. the other one gives you a co-pay and a follow-up appointment in 6 months where he'll tell you the same thing this isn't a healthcare system. it's a subscription model. and you're the recurring revenue the reason your doctor doesn't run the full panel isn't because he's stupid. it's because there's no billing code that justifies spending 45 minutes interpreting 15 biomarkers when he can bill the same amount for 13 minutes and a basic panel. he gets paid per visit, not per outcome. the system rewards keeping you just confused enough to come back i started ordering my own labs 4 years ago. every problem i'd been chasing for years showed up on a $150 panel that nobody in the medical system had ever bothered to run. the fatigue, the brain fog, the anxiety that came out of nowhere, the sex drive that vanished. the full guide on what to order, how to read it yourself, and what the numbers actually mean is on my substack. stop paying $300 for permission to be confused

I heard that only 2% of our clothing is made in the US! I presume it's cheaper to mix other fibers with cotton than having 100% cotton

@matthew_labosco My problems started at 24 from a spinal injury. I'm now 60 and have many issues that were caused by the 2 injuries. I hope you can help

Chronic stress is destroying your body faster than any disease. Insomnia, brain fog, weight gain, and anxiety. Here are 7 ways to dismantle chronic stress at the root (share this with someone you care about) 🧵 1. Walk without your phone or music (20 min)

Throw this one out, now!! Wash new one regularly in the washing machine

@Notwokenow I have to go into the bowels of NYC to get my late dad's birth certificate 🙄🙄

We didn’t really need more proof that the left is stupid, but here they are, offering it up. I not only can get a copy of my birth certificate in person TODAY, I could go online and get one delivered to my house. Further, when my father died, I had to get a copy of his. Know how long that took? About 3 minutes. Know why? CAUSE I’M A F’ing ADULT.
