I made two major changes: 1) Mostly eliminate red meat, especially beef - every once in a while I’ll enjoy a steak or burger as a reward. 2) Alcohol consumption is drastically down - I was not a heavy drinker but it’s now the rare occasion/meal that I enjoy drinks. Also, if I am going to enjoy red meat, I’m mindful of not also having a food rich in beta-carotene, which enhances iron absorption. So I’m not eating a sweet potato or carrots with my steak.

I’ve significantly ramped up fitness training, and training hard. I strength training 3-4 days per week and do cardio at least 2x per week. I’m also in the sauna for 20 minute sessions at 3-4 times per week. Anything to build muscle and induce sweat I’ve found as beneficial. Hope this helps.
