3 and a half years
The amount of time I've been working as a Physician Assistant in a broken health care system in the United States
What have I learned? Here are my main 5 takeaways...
The key to unlocking your metabolism, mood, energy and gut health is sitting under your tongue being ignored by your doctor.
This is the ULTIMATE AND COMPLETE GUIDE TO THYROID HEALTH so you can optimize it:
100-200 grams of “sugar” per day from fruits, milk, honey, natural ice cream, and fruit juices for the past 3 years but my A1C is still at 4.4 — lower than it was when I was doing low carb
🧐 it’s almost like there’s more to the story
Controlling hunger is more than just eating 50g of fiber daily/ cruciferous vegetables with every meal, while you hold in farts all day
If your cells are deprived of ATP because of inefficient energy metabolism, your hypothalamus does not get the signal to stop eating
LAB TESTING without going to a doctor, at a huge discount, results in back days, optimal ranges on your biomarkers,
AND analysis, with supplement recommendations based on your labs.
We've got it all.
Let's talk about our NEW TESTING COMPANY - REVELATION DIAGNOSTICS:
The human body is roughly 30 trillion bacterial cells and 30 trillion human cells.
You are equal parts human & bacteria(mostly in your gut)
This simple realization is one of the most empowering you can make about your health.
Fix bacterial imbalances in the gut = Fix your body
You can gaslight the stupid child part of your brain with a Ninja Creami
Can’t even tasted the desiccated liver and oyster when mixed in with other based ingredients.
What does it really mean to take a holistic approach to health?
This is a simplified (yes) view of metabolism.
You'll quickly realize everything effects everything.
Any interruption in any of these interconversions can drive an excess or deficiency of another compound, which does the same for another, and so on.
This also means any interruption in any of these reactions can drive essentially any symptom or disease, depending on the person, and what compounds get influenced.
This means that things you wouldn't classically think could happen, can.
Energy is what ties all of this together. All of these reactions are dependent on energy. If you can't generate energy, you have nothing.
Thus, energy is the ultimate root cause, its focus the ultimate holistic frontier.
What else causes interruptions in this beautiful chain?
• Toxins
• Genetics
• Stress
• History
• Environmental factors
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Infections
• Gut issues - probably the biggest and most important.
& the list goes on.
A gut & energy centric paradigm should thus serve as the foundation of any proper approach to health.
If you already seem to have most of this locked in, then advanced testing can go a long way to identify exactly where in the system things are out of whack.
Urinary organic acids can directly measure the proportions of many of these compounds you see here.
Plasma amino acids can complement that.
Measuring ammonia, lactic acid, ketone levels, and glucose can give an even better picture.
Dig even deeper - analyses for mold, metals, endocrine disruptors, infectious agents. Even gene sequencing.
It's a hard puzzle to figure out, but it is possible.
If you can, you'll stop playing the game of molecular whack a mole of pharmaceuticals and diets that only work for brief periods of time until they don't.
“If we learn to see problems in terms of a general disorder of energy metabolism, we can begin to solve them.” - Ray Peat
“Unless there is a compelling reason to do otherwise, treat the gut.”

STOP if you want help with one or many of the following symptoms:
- fatigue, brain fog
- constipation, diarrhea, bloating, gas
- acne, eczema, allergies
- joint pain, inflammation
- weight gain
- low testosterone
- anxiety/ depression
- hair loss
