Very bad circulation
-
@RandomUser I dont count calories whatsoever. I think I eat more than I used to. I always eat something sweet in the morning. Usually Wheat chocolate porridge with milk, lots of sugar and coconut oil. I know, starch isn’t very popular here but I tolerate wheat very well. I used to eat a lot of potatoes but I notice I don’t feel super well if I eat a lot.
For luch there is often something with potatoes, I don’t eat them too much, drown them in salt and eat it with young white cheese which I eat with almost every non-sweet meal I have. For luch there is also usually also some fiber since my dad loves vegetables and he cooks, I am not a fan tho. And some meat, usually chicken, rarely wild caught trout. My dad is a fisherman so.
In between i usually have two cups of coffee from my moka pot, rest of a regular cup is filled with milk, brown sugar and a spoonful of coconut oil.
I often have an apple, peeled or some fruit juice. Often a boiled egg or two and some sweet snack, it’s usually plain chocolate, which I love.
I very rarely eat out or buy store bought snacks, except chocolate. But that’s about it

@yerrag I suspected I had hypothyroidism, thank you for this reply and all the advice. Everything you said about medical industry is true, shame especially since I will one day join it. It’s maybe naive of me to think I can change it but a man can dream

I don’t know what to do about my circulation. I eat lots of sugar, lots of salt, copious amounts. And as I lowered my liquid intake and upped salt i think it only made it worse.
Hi,
With the kind of food you eat you're terribly deficient in potassium, vitamin K1 & K2 and vit E 100 mcg (at least 2 toco). Required for optimal vessel membranes.
=> I'd take 1.2 g potassium bicarbonate powder with 40-50 ml fruit juice. No more, once a day, at midday with a meal. => 60 HCO3 and 40% K+.
In cure. Do not overrule; otherwise you'll change the balance between TH1 >< TH2 (mTOR pathway).
I can give a link to explain how Na+/K+ and Mg/Ca are crucial to optimize metabolism (cellular breath). -
@LucH Sure give me the link! I would love to read about it, thank you

Have you tried incorporating gelatin into your diet? It can have a vasodilation effect. Also bag-breathing to increase CO2 can do the same
-
citrulline/watermelon would also vasodilate you
-
@Njegos You should construct a rough estimate based on the portions sizes of what you eat every day. I'm willing to bet you're eating under 1,000 calories a day.
-
@Njegos Laudable of you. But first fix yourself so if you still have it in you, to change the world starting with those around you. The world and its inertia is not an easy project but one can still dream.

You need to fix your mold issue first and foremost. It will affect your health more than anything.

OK, but first kilgore has made an interesting remark about mold.
As you didn't say anything about dysbiosis and transit, how is your transit (stools, how many times, odor) how do you digest (overgrowth, gaze, flatulence).
Must be taken into account at first side.I come back.
-
You have difficulty concentrating, anxiety, cold extremities, cramps, random transit or insufficiency, etc. Not limiting, but there are at least 2 symptoms characteristic of an endocrine and metabolic disorder.

@RandomUser I doubt It’s less then 1000 since I go through 1L of milk a day, roughly and it is practically impossible for everything else I eat to be less than 600 calories. My portion sizes are big enough i think, I sometimes eat breakfast twice a day
-
@yerrag I don’t think I will change the word, I just hope that my practices and advice I will give my future patients won’t make their condition worse, but actually help them
-
@Kilgore I know, but mold is not an easy fix
-
@LucH @LucH I have a stool every day, and how often? It varies, 1,5-2 times a day, rarely 3 but it happens.
When it comes to oder, I think it’s okay? Never thought much about it.
I’m unsure as to what to say about my digestion, but it might be interesting to mention that I can hear my stomach often, sounds. Even tho Im not hungry, It’s usually I’m done eating -
@Njegos I mean it's still worth going through. It'd take you like 5 minutes to do a serious calculation. A liter of whole milk is still only 600 calories and none of the meals you described sound above 500 calories. You do you man.

Ok, it seems +/ OK. If your stomach makes noise from time to time, it's not a problem, except you have then difficulties to assimilate what you've eaten.
Take it into account and adapt yourself to the situation. Otherwise you'll irritate your linen tissue and won't assimilate all the nutrients.
Need more info to advise what to do if you want to correct the problem. Note when, after which kind of food, how much, how long it lasts, at midday or at the evening. -
May you go a long way in that quest.
