@BroJonas i dont track cals but im always satiated and eating plenty

@RawGoatMilk88 Youre right, but those are only small amounts of methyl form

@RawGoatMilk88 are you sure? everything ive read is contrary. The mthfr lowers the effectively conversion into methyl, the active form

@RawGoatMilk88 i thought methyl forms b vitamins are rare in food

i have mthfr, took some methyl b6 & b12, i had taken them a couple years ago daily with 0 issue. wondering why now they are causing an issue.

my first guess it get magnesium & vit D tested. Or maybe i was low on b vitamins and i took too much too soon?

Not sure what to do

I ask because 4 months ago i had good vitamin D levels from supplementing and stopped the supps+did not get any sunlight - was wondering if that is enough to make deficient now
i know natural sunlight is best, i worked long office hours and was difficult to get sun

Hey guys, been having some bizarre symptoms I havent had before.
moments where i get faint, lightheaded, very anxious, confused, fatigued. Eat something sugar clears it right up. Never had this before and havent changed diet.

Had been drinking 2-3 double shot coffees per day for 4 months, plus lots of walking(2-4hrs a day 5x week) to drop some fat, which i have. I also have fatty liver.

I thought maybe im overtrained and dont process coffee as well causing cortisol dysfunction? Coffee drained my magnesium levels?

Very confused and can only find conflicting evidence online - Thank you for any suggestions

@LucH Thank you, ill get on the carrot salad and meditation/yoga. Anything else to help out?

@LucH thank you, ill get on cracking on that. i think i can talk my doctor into prescribing me levothyroxine, should i go down that path?

@LucH Thank you for another insightful answer

I have fatty liver and a few symptoms of hypothyroid, in particular fatigue. Both in general and very bad the day after exercise. I have poor mental health, difficultly losing weight (im 15kg overweight), i get puffy after eating certain foods, poor memory

TSH: 3.82 but also high t3 - thinking about supplementing thyroid to improve TSH but should if i have high t3?

@LucH thank you in-depth reply, do you think its worth supplementing thyroid despite having high t3?

Got TSH tested at 3.82 but my t3 was high. my doc says 3.82 is in range so wont supplement i was wondering if i should do my own thing but i dont know how to deal with a bad tsh and good t3 levels? has anyone ever encountered something like this?

Should i slow it down? am i getting blood sugar swings because my body cant use glucose properly yet?

@Androsclerozat i think ive had a history of pretty bad metabolism on the cusp of pre-diabetic & overweight. ive lost weight but how do i know when its a good thing im constantly hungry

Diabetics often complain of being hungry all the time and eating constantly and they ofc have bad metabolism. While someone with high metabolism following peaty principles is also hungry all the time and eating constantly. How can this be the case?

is this real or just correlation not cause? does chronic internet use increase cortisol even if youre life is going well/your happy ect?

Hard to get a clear answer on this thought id try here. Can i supplement vitamin D if i have fatty liver? ive read that the supplements can deposit in the liver and i dont want to worsen my liver condition. unfortunately i cant get sun regularly and suspect im low

like twitter, IG & so on
im a chronic user & addicted (hard to stay away even when i want to) of these all day for a long time, is this worsening my mental health? i have social anxiety and difficulty staying motivated to do my studies

im about 3.5 weeks into keto and IF but really struggling to adapt i think, i have no energy and very faint, weak, cant walk around for long is this a struggle to produce ketones effectively. Ive done about 7 5-day fasts since xmas but i never get any energy and cant leave my house due to constant weakness
