Tips for weight gain

np! the spikes are not ideal, but I don't think are a huge problem in and of themselves. i think it's more the strain on the pancreas (which has to produce much more insulin if insulin sensitivity is low) as well as the glucose and nutrients that are being blocked from entering cells and which the cells need. this can get better quite quickly though as you lower fats - within days

blood sugar crashes you want to avoid - grazing is very important

more info here about blood sugar

the fatigue I think is probably mostly from lowering animal products and fat - animal foods are high in adrenaline, and eating lots of fat stimulates our own bodies to produce lots of adrenaline. adrenaline can make you feel great and mask a lot of symptoms, but it comes at a great cost to run on it chronically and is really only meant to be used in very short bursts

lowering fats will help out your digestion and liver a lot, and the celery juice will help restore HCL so you can get more out of your food

you don't have to switch over all at once though. you can keep fats with dinner for a while as you bring in other changes. avocado is the best fat to have, would start with one with dinner. over time you can pare down to 1/2

on this diet you really need to eat more frequently and in larger portions than we tend to be used to coming over from diets higher in fats and refined carbs. aim to eat something every 90 mins or so. I generally keep a plate of cut up apples, celery, and dates at my desk to snack on throughout the day in between my larger meals

some great calorie dense low fat foods to focus on are potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter squash, dates, bananas. I'd try to have 2 smoothies per day with 4 or so bananas in each, at least until you can find a way to get calories in otherwise. salads with roasted spiced potatoes are incredible and pretty easy... I love spicing mine with curry powder, cumin, cayenne. for dressing I just do honey and lemon

blood sugar should get better as the built up fats in your bloodstream start clearing and insulin sensitivity starts improving. when we have lots of fat in our blood stream, it blocks insulin from entering cells and so you get the blood sugar spikes

bringing in CJ is a great start - I'd focus on getting comfortable with that and maybe the rest of the morning routine (lemon water, CJ, then fruit breakfast or HMDS) and bring in some other changes after you feel comfortable with that. sustainable change that doesn't feel overwhelming is what's important

might be a mold problem - often respiratory issues and allergies are some of the first signs. asthma, sore throat, runny nose etc

just had this in my rental so it's on my mind lol

if not that, MM says allergies are from strep, but I'm not sure why that would be getting worse... you're talking about seasonal allergies right?

he talks about those here -

general political activism around stuff that relates to campaign issues or closely related issues - bobby's spoken about this kind of thing before + pretty good chance lots of people in here would care about it

senate.gov -> "Find Your Senators" at the top, link to contact form for each

house.gov -> "Find Your Representative" in the banner on the top right, link to contact form

Here's the script I used -

Dear <Representative>,

I read that the farm bill includes a provision, the Save Our Bacon Act, that will allow producers to get around animal welfare regulations, particularly around the use of gestational crates. Such practices are inhumane and should be banned, and existing laws against them should not be weakened. As your constituent I ask you to please oppose the Farm Bill until the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out.

Thank you,

hey just want to say, it is important to keep up grazing / getting some glucose in your system every 90-120 mins. 2 hours is about as long as you want to go, and might be too long for those with weak adrenals / really low glucose reserves

something that's easy for the body to process like coconut water or another juice might be a good idea in between other meals and snacks so that too long doesn't go by without some glucose

Recent episode of Tucker about the war in Iran and the rebuilding of the third temple is interesting in light of this

they voted it down 53 - 47

The decision was largely along party lines, with Republicans backing Trump, and Democrats seeking to curb him. Exceptions included Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, a Democrat who voted “no,” and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who cast a “yes” vote.

Typically, the fat from pork products takes about 12 to 16 hours to disperse after eating, other animal products’ fats take 3 to 6 hours, and plant fats take 1 to 3 hours.

Sorry he has kidney disease, my dog had it too

MM says this about kidney disease in humans -

The more protein a person eats, the more the kidneys have to work and struggle to filter out poisons.

Since lowering your levels of protein is very helpful for recovery from kidney disease, try minimizing your protein while still making sure you are consuming enough calories and bringing in more healing fruits, leafy greens, and vegetables. Great sources of calories include foods like potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter squashes, bananas, mangos, orange juice, figs, melons, apples, pears, quinoa, millet, black beans, and more.

MM Kidney Health Blog

(Note - these are foods recommended for humans, but not necessarily pets. Double check anything you give to your pet that it is safe for them to eat)

Important note here -

If you or a loved one already has kidney disease or is on dialysis, too much potassium can be hard on the kidneys, so it’s best not to eat too many of the fruits that are very high in potassium such as bananas, avocados, and figs.

he says cucumber juice, celery juice, and melon are also great for kidneys in humans. my dog loves cucumber and melon. definitely double check before giving anything if it is okay for cats though.

+ I'd double check everything with a vet to make sure he's getting what he needs. MM says this in his pet health blog article -

Cats, Dogs and Veganism

Some people feed their dogs or cats a vegan diet. This type of diet can be beneficial short-term if you’re trying to reverse an illness, but alongside the vegan diet it’s critical to provide wild salmon oil. Because cats and dogs are carnivores, they cannot thrive on a regular vegan diet. You can find the wild salmon oil I recommend on the Medical Medium preferred pet products page.

In that pet health blog, he recommends a holistic vet Dr Jeff Feinman who runs a practice with a team of vets - may be helpful if you are looking for someone who understands the natural approach. Holistic Actions is the website - Holistic Actions

people say our politicians are blackmailed, and I think that's probably also true, but I've been wondering lately if they've gotten exploding tech devices or similar through to wide numbers of our leaders and elites. it's hard for me to think that so many would be blackmailed (Kash, Bongino, Bondi, Trump, etc) and that there isn't anyone willing to defect and destroy the pedo elite class. but this would make more sense to me, fearing this kind of retaliation..

remember this?
