@CrumblingCookie very likely. How do I fix this?

RE: Grip Strength Failing/Gait is noticably worse?
@the_black_jew this is certainly a part of it, because gait & grip are great earmarks of mental health. I specifically feel worse about the back training thing. I had good gait even with the old gym, I was actually kind of happy that my gym still worked. The only thing that's really different is the fact I only have a bad lat pulldown machine because dumbbell rows make my ribs feel weird. Also I've been less serious in general about training. So you're right.

Grip Strength Failing/Gait is noticably worse?
A couple years ago, when I first went to the gym before Peating, I had great grip strength. I spammed my gym's lat pulldown machine, seated row, & the assisted pullup machine. The lat pulldown in particular had those rock-climbing stud's as a grip, so I could use those & challenge my grip + get an insane stretch.
I took a yearlong break from the gym, until 6 months ago, due to laziness & school, but now that I came back, I only have access to a way worse gym. Not minding that I continued to do my workouts fine, until a 3-4 months ago, when I realized my grip strength was giving out at exercises I already knew I was able to do, & had done without trouble earlier.
Another thing that has fallen recently is my gait. Specifically, my shoulders/collarbone would automatically swing a lot more then they do now. I used to walk like that Doctor Livingstone gif (really!) Now my walking is totally normal, no big swing of my arms, they mostly dangle at my sides. My legs are totally the same & normal though.
What's up with this? Is it an exacerbated vitamin deficiency?

How To Get The Most Accurate Body-Temp reading's possible?
If I sleep with lots of blankets: will that confound my morning temp check? And what if I'm sitting for lunch in the sun/in windy weather? How do I create an enviroment where I can be 100% my thermometer is right? I'm using a forehead thermometer.

RE: Mediterranean and Peat-arian
@Corngold I think the 'best' way is probably just raw, but coconut oil was always a optimization hack imo.

RE: Mediterranean and Peat-arian
@Corngold A lot of things Peat says or does were also done by people long ago. In his coconut oil article he mentions a tribe of people who used coconut oil who had metabolisms 120% above their peers despite also living in a very hot place. He mentions a key moment that got him interested in coconut oil was a couple where the filipino woman looked young & ate coconut oil a lot. Old cultures often made efforts to preserve fruit jams through winters. I would say a lot of things Peat says alings with tradition.
