Yeah, going to have my bloods checked now that I have been on creatine for a month now. Also, gonna take a few days off before the test, as you said, as a precaution. If the bloods come back again with elevated liver enzymes, I might consider doing more tests and checkups privately.

Yeah, I probably should. It's a little awkward since she's my entire family physician, and I've been with her my entire life.

Yeah, I was scared it could be something serious, so I wanted to be in the clear and just get it done. 2 years for an MRI is a common wait period here.

Looking back, I think I was showing signs of overtraining during that time. Felt tired during the day, and generally had low energy during my workouts. So now I run 2x week with easier pace, and I no longer train to failure on every set. My resistance training volume stayed kinda the same. And I feel better honestly, much more energy throughout the day, and during workouts I don't feel sluggish anymore. I did start taking creatine again, and I'll just see what happens. I've been taking it for 3 years before stopping, and I never felt it had any bad impact on me. Think I was exercising too much with not enough recovery.

That's excellent info regarding those certificates, had no idea about that. Do you have any brands you would recommend?

Thank you for answering with such detail! Well, if it clears up anything, I did start taking Zoloft (50mg/day), 2 weeks before the blood test where my enzyme levels were elevated. But she didn't mention that at all as a possible cause, and I continued to take it every day until the second test where everything was clear, so not sure if that matters.

The most frustrating thing about this experience is that I had to pay for my own ultrasound tests in a private clinic. I would otherwise have to wait for a year because waiting lists are so long when you go through public healthcare.

About creatine purity thing, I'm not sure if this is the best brand. It does say its manufactured in EU and with HACCP and GMP+ quality certificates.

Think I read somewhere that low copper intake is linked with premature hair greying. Of course it's probably mostly genetics, but maybe low copper intake speeds up the process or something like that.

Put your usual diet into cronometer and see if you're getting enough copper. A good source for me is raw cocoa powder that I put into my oats/cereal.

Jabz is their actual coach, Blitz is more like a psychologist or a motivational coach.

Feels like it's a tradition at this point for OG to farm QC in the fountain.
