@atlantean1488 what’s your waking underarm temperature?
-
@brad fluctuates between 33-34 degrees c

Yeah that really ain't good. 33-34C and cold extremities but warm core would suggest very underperforming thyroid and overactive adrenals. How much food do you eat in a day. and what does it typically consist of?
-
@atlantean1488 that’s usually considered clinical hypothermia. Why do you keep your temp so low in the house?
-
I just eat based on hunger levels throughout the day but I’d say 2100-2300 calories, just depends on the day.
Diet is pretty peaty, 60% of my caloric intake is dairy if I had to guess, eat meat most days and eat potatoes perhaps 3 times a week, sourdough once a week, vegetables 4 times a week and I eat fruits everyday, supplement D3 and K2 and aspirin daily.

I get uncomfortably warm if I heat the house up too much, I’ll start to sweat and be irritable, maximum i’d go is 19 degrees but any higher and I’m too hot.
-
@atlantean1488 Are you consuming the dairy warm or cold? If cold, definitely try heating it until warm. I know if I drink too much cold milk I can struggle to warm it enough in my stomach for lactase to actually do its work, and I'm running a lot hotter than you are. The difference between warm and cold dairy is night and day for me
-
@atlantean1488 You have to adapt to higher temperatures probably. Objectively you’re not overheating, you’re hypothermic. You can’t always simply follow what feels fine at the time.
-
Mostly cold. I’ll start warming it up as you suggest, hopefully see some improvement.

@dan-saintdominic
Probably right tbh. I’m mediterranean in race but have lived all my life in England which is quite cold compared to the mediterranean. Perhaps genetically I should be basking in the heat rather then the cold but my body has adapted to the cold weather and it’s having an impact on my organs, no clue, probably just a schizo theory, but I do find the summer weather uncomfortable when I visit home in Southern Europe, can handle the British summer just fine in contrast.

@atlantean1488 It can also just be that you’re maladapted to something. Some people who are on ultra low salt diets develop an aversion to sodium. But once you get used to more salt you start to love it. If your body tempt is genuinely like 38 Celsius then yea cool down but you’re hypothermic you objectively are too cold.
