I have come to the opinion the creators of the infamous food pyramid should be buried beneath it. They may actually be accountable for as many deaths over the past 5 or so decades as are the China flu influencer crowd
Do you think most physicians have adequate expertise and knowledge to advise their patients on optimum diet, nutrition, vitamins and supplements? I have never in my life had a GP discuss and or even mentioned these subjects to me.
Eat food as close to its natural state as possible and remember the lipid theory of cardiovascular disease is BOGUS!
I eat lots of eggs, raw full fat Jersey milk (from our runs into PA, good bless the Amish!) raw milk cheese + kefir and lots of grass fed beef. Never been healthier 💪🏼
Creatine is a remarkable muscle hydration key. Long and short muscle fibers love this benefit. While we make our own measurable creatine, but as we age we fall short of better best amount. So a supplement is easy to incorporate. I do this almost every day. If I do heavy leg press or deadlift I can sometimes have the dread of charlie horses in lower leg calf's if forget to take some prior to exercise. But it works fine after a good leg workout as well. I get leg cramps from winter snow shoe romps.
It has never let me down as a rapid remedy. It fits in nicely with a whey protein intake bump for real active folks over 50. That's when declining nutrition values creep in to bring around loss of strength.
But you can choose to stay on top with a little fitness knowledge.
I haven't had a personal physician ever. An occasional need for a doctor is always a crap shoot, I always affirm and trust (as well as my own intuition) in the one presented to me (I know, woo-woo). I don't recommend this as a practice for everyone, it has worked for me. I have extraordinary faith in the "flow". I also am great at manifesting parking spots. (This was in response to seeing your personal physician about supplements) Come on doc, let's talk.
I took vitamin D3 as a child. My mom was big into vitamins. She called it the sunshine vitamin. I take vitamin D3 now as well. My cardiologist recommended magnesium and potassium for good heart health. I will have to check into creatine.
I would agree with these… because of my own health issues both my Internal Medicine and Functional Medicine doctors have recommended Glutathoine, high dose and usually in gel or liquid format.
I also take Creatine. I am 68F concerned about bone density and that is why I am taking it, but I am glad to know it helps with cognition. I have read that it can raise creatinine levels on blood tests, but is not related to kidney damage. So, I will stop taking it about a week before my annual blood tests. That is coming up, so I plan to discuss with my doctor.
What to make of the vitamins claiming 125% or 1,000% or 38% of your daily recommended amount? I just want my daily recommended amount, no more, no less.
Thank you very much! This will be helpful for my own review a d for discussion with my Doctor. She recommended ilnot taking vit d or multivitamins. I get very minimal sunshine year round. Today was eyeshot day, so not seeing well
I was taking 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 for several months until my neurologist ordered a blood test because he thought that was too much. This was the result:
Vitamin D 25-Hydroxy
Your Value
147.7 ng/mL
Standard Range
30.0 - 90.0 ng/mL
So he had me stop taking it for 2 weeks and then reduce the dose. I now take 2000 IU. What’s the right call here?
Unless you think you are just a body, you are NOT what you eat.
Nutrition however impacts body health and body health is very important for proper human functioning.
There are cases, however, of people with extreme body problems who are very sharp mentally. That is only an indicator of something we should all know is true but don't: We are not our bodies. In academia this truth is given very little attention or support. We desperately need that to change.
I had a major health event in April/May 2022 where my kidneys shut down and there was concern that it might be permanent. Thankfully, all is well now. One of the key factors was my creatinine level being too high. I'm sure this is different than creatine, but it's odd that the two words are so similar.
6 years 100 percent carnivore, myself, no supplements, no more meds, and in the best health of my life at 71. Same for tens of thousands now of others. Many more benefits than simple weight loss - if you are willing check out the docs I referenced and the voluminous testimonials from so many people who have resolved autoimmune diseases, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and many more. The evidence is there, for the open minded, nothing illogical about it.

Taking control of it now is key.
Nice reminders and suggestions

Thank you for this informative substack today.
