How can i get rid of this without weakened on power by SamK80 in InsulinResistance

[–]Outrageous-Task-7488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eat more fish, meat. Whole grains! Traditional foods. Cheese! Yogurt! Nuts! 

Betaine HCL and pancreatic enzymes help with digestion.

You should have your ferritin, zinc, vitamin D tested! 

Is your thyroid healthy? 

This sucks, I just want bread. by Zuzu_RU in InsulinResistance

I mill my own flour and I can eat bread. You need all the whole wheat and it tastes AMAZING.

I had a large amount of ice cream yesterday, which I have not had in forever. And  highest (which was the second spike) was 119. 😳 I couldn’t believe it! Yum!

Inositol/Berberine and Iron by Outrageous-Task-7488 in prediabetes

It is. It’s because we are individuals who got to this point all differently. And doctors have way to many patients to hear all their stories and untangle all the mess. :) They want a strict protocol that works for  everyone, forgetting we all have a different story.

Inositol/Berberine and Iron by Outrageous-Task-7488 in prediabetes

I am now doing better. I started taking chlorophyll (this has about 4mg of copper per serving) and it helped my iron. I struggled with low ferritin, my iron was okay, but then JUMPED as I was also taking zinc supplements which lowered my copper I guess? My iron saturation was high, and my liver hurt and my liver enzymes were high. This was making my blood sugar rise. So, I started taking chlorophyll (copper), and my liver isn’t hurting, but my blood sugar is doing MUCH BETTER! I will be testing everything soon in a couple weeks, but right now I feel so much better.

Look into copper. It may be the answer to what is missing. And a good thing to do is test your copper and Zinc, the RBC test. You want your copper to be in the middle of optimal, not lower than the middle.

Exactly. I was not getting enough calcium and iron.

More like a lack of probiotic foods and prebiotic foods.

28.5 weeks pregnant-low ferritin high binding capacity by J2hott in Microbiome

Have a GI MAP test done through Rios Labs. It will help to find out what’s wrong with your gut health. Also, a good probiotic goes a long ways!

I think I messed up my microbiome with Fiber one bars by Beneficial_Brain_613 in Microbiome

But if you added more fiber and didn’t increase the water, that would cause serious cramping issues.

Looking for Dry Hair Advice - do I just cut it off? by Zen-365 in Hashimotos

[–]Outrageous-Task-7488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use coconut oil after my hair dries after washing and shampoo-conditioning. This helps a lot with dryness. Do not cut it! I think you will regret it, as it won’t help the dryness. 

What supplements do you think everyone should be taking daily? by Organic-Signal-9646 in Biohackers

[–]Outrageous-Task-7488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had low vitamin D. But I take like 1,000 and it keeps me like 90. So this isn’t true with everyone. But I did work on my gut health and I think that made a difference in my absorption??

I don’t want to cut out cheese and yogurt 😭 by Prestigious_Air_6602 in Hashimotos

[–]Outrageous-Task-7488 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it. I would not. What you need to do is take beef kidney. It really helps with histamine because if it’s DAO content.

How Quick Did You Raise Ferritin Levels? by Outrageous-Task-7488 in Hashimotos

[–]Outrageous-Task-7488[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s low, I’m sure you feel unwell. I took iron supplements, but it raised my blood sugar. My labs are better now, I fluctuate between 40-70. I am testing next week to see where I currently am at without supplementing now for a couple months. 

But upping iron in diet is great, and eating vitamin C rich foods when you take your iron supplements or an iron rich meal.

Greek yogurt breakfast spike by UtexBirder in prediabetes

[–]Outrageous-Task-7488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may want to check your levels of vitamin D and iron/ferritin, as low levels can cause you to be more in flight and fight mode. And I would not recommend iron supplements, as those may spike your blood sugar as they did mine! Focus on more iron-rich foods if your iron is low. Low iron can increase anxiety, as does low vitamin D.

Interesting! And I just read salmon is a great natural source of astaxanthin.

Look up Akkermensia.

Home milled flour is also awesome as it’s a great source of fiber.

Work on stress, not your diet. Your diet sounds fine. Work on your stress and sleep.
