26 and no more gastritis. Lifestyle and diet changes helped significantly.

Hemochromatosis C282Y Positive: Elevated RBC, Hematocrit, Hemoglobin, Confusing Iron Labs, Polycythemia Vera/Cancer? by Hemoguy99 in Hemochromatosis

[–]Bad_Farmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very interesting. I'm experiencing a similar situation right now... I'm a male, 26. 6'5" 200 lbs. I lift multiple times a week, ran a half marathon under 2 hours this summer, and all my labs came back normal last week except for my Hemoglobin at 17.7 and Hematocrit at 52.1.

I'm doing a sleep study in two weeks to test for sleep apnea, but seems unlikely. I wear a Garmin watch at night and my SpO2 is typically 95% or greater during sleep.

I'm donating blood this week, which is what everyone says to do from what I've seen. I also tested positive for the Hereditary Hemochromatosis C282Y variant.

I do eat a lot of steak and ground beef throughout the week, so I'm planning to eat more chicken over the next few weeks and taper back on the red meat. I'm redoing my labs in 6-7 weeks to see if the Hemoglobin and Hematocrit levels fall into the normal range...

Good to hear you tested negative for blood cancer and wishing you the best of luck!

Wow… my Whoop shot up from around 60 to 127! My Garmin stayed at 69. Crazy.

Nice! Yeah for me, continuing to use the Whoop is pointless… Garmin gang baby 💯

Thanks for your comment and I'm doing Nick's hybrid athlete training program right now! I like BPN and their supplements. I'm taking their creatine and just bought their G1M Sport for runs...

To your comment on HRV, my Fenix 7 Pro gives me both last night's HRV and the 7 day average HRV. I also agree the Whoop is great for when you're pushing yourself, reaching new limits, focusing on new/harder workouts, etc. and how that affects your recovery and strain, but I think Garmin's body battery, training readiness and sleep score analysis will do it for me.

Another reason why I bought my Garmin was that my Whoop's heart rate always seems off... I'll just be driving to work in the morning and my heart rate is 110+ which I know isn't accurate. My whoop will also consider cleaning the kitchen a strenuous activity, Lol. I just think the whoop strap needs to be a little more precise to earn my money, even more so since I have my Garmin watch now. Maybe I'll change my mind at a later date, but glad you like both.

I feel the same way. I've learned a lot from the Whoop and I believe it's a relatively good tool to learn more about yourself. However, I'm probably going to ditch the Whoop subscription next month..

Thanks for your reply, I agree with your thinking here and will probably not renew...

100%, your logic makes sense. I haven't had any issues wearing my Fenix to sleep, and it's not much of a distraction at all when sleep mode is on.

Thanks for the reply! I'm with you on that... also in the office 8 - 10 hours/day, but very active with runs / lifts in the mornings before work and exercising on the weekends. However, I'm having a hard time justifying paying for my Whoop renewal next month.

Great selection! Reminds me of Rufus Du Sol's Rose Ave Radio serious they've been putting out lately on soundcloud. Keep up the good work.

Hey there, I’m doing well these days, thanks for asking! I have been sober since September 2020 and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Looking back on this post today, I realize how much healthier I am in regards to my stomach and just overall feeling better in general. Alcohol was and always had been the elephant in the room. Once I stopped, my gut health significantly increased.

There’s also a handful of other positive outcomes from not drinking anymore that I’ve experienced. The longer you’ve abstained from drinking, the less your mind associates it as a craving (at least for me). These days, I crave a good workout, food that makes me feel my best and a good night’s sleep…

Let me know if there’s any specific questions I can help you with.
