Markers of Thyroid function

Most important:
Body temp immediately after waking(98 degrees) and 30 mins after first meal. (98.2 or above)

Morning temp can be influenced by stress hormones so we take both here. If you wake up at 98 degrees or higher then drop below after eating we have a problem. Morning Pulse high can confirm this as well along side temp

Recommend taking orally as it helps with longer term compliance and Broda Barnes suggestion was a mercury thermometer under the armpit which takes about 10 minutes each time. Consistency and uniformity mater most.

Pulse: 70-85 bpm

This is highly variable from person to person and depends on aerobic fitness. High school athlete? Ect. Once again consistency and uniformity of measurement matters most.

Markers that help you regain autonomy for your health and give you a much better overall picture outside a single snapshot in time(bloodwork)

-cold hands cold feet (no this isn’t normal if you’re a girl either)
-energy
-mood
-mental function
-libido
-bp
-weight gain
-digestion
-hair/skin/nails

Bloodwork

-TSH
-Free T3 T4
-reverse T3
-cholesterol

This is a crapshoot to read sometimes and don’t feel bad because Doctors get it wrong all the time.

TSH only really relevant if elevated (above 1.4 maybe even lower - hypothyroid). When suppressed then we can look to see t3 & t4. Upper reference range? Great although not the full picture. T3 can be elevated in serum yet depleted in tissue. TSH high T4 high yet t3 lower end? We will likely see rT3 elevated indication hypothyroid. TSH low t3 &t4 low rT3 is most likely elevated.

High Cholesterol isn’t always directly linked to hypothyroidism but it’s a good confirmation. Cholesterol gets backed up because we need t3 to convert it into downstream hormones. 9 out of 10 times I see a high cholesterol on bloods we can bet TSH is above 1.4 and body temp is not ideal.

If we all ever get together irl I’d love to go down the rabbit hole of free will. I believe it to be an illusion although one should act as if it’s not. Yin Yang

100/100 times in that exact moment you were going to do precisely what you “chose” to do based on your grandmothers pregnancy with your mother, the smell of the room, your hormone balance, quality of sleep you had & on & on.

Can be fatalistic for some, but I think it allows a lot of empathy for those people we do cross paths with in life (even ourselves). We get to choose who’s around not based on any moralistic good/bad judgement but just on what is.

I’m friends with a lot of real autistic people. One died sky diving couple years back and there was a reddit thread ripping him about how big of a dick he was. Yea he was a dick… or he was just himself. Not broken. Different software.

Yea I don’t know if there is any way around selection bias though besides being aware of it. I get your learn from your failures now
In the sense there should be a point you realize you are in over your head and refer out.

Honestly think it’s best from a business standpoint to not “learn” and stay in your lane. So I get the spray n pray. Would always give the client the benefit of the doubt(lesson everyone should learn) but I can also understand how many times coaches have heard “I thought X was a health food so I didn’t mention it” “oh I sleep fine, a solid 4 hours.” “My digestion is perfect” ect

It’s easy to disconnect and not care about the client after some time coaching. Important not to imo

@exfatloss Well that Santa lookin fellow who told everyone to buy bitcoin or you’d be poor and X morons love cause he said go outside also said fish save life (…also food don’t only sun do? Idk guys a moron)

I know a bear who’s bigger than most/all of your favourite influencers who’s on less gear and less protein

There’s more to it than just muscles

Its like saying collagen is useless because it’s not a complete protein source

I’m more on the camp 0.7g/lb from animal source and the rest is collagen + trace source from my carbs which usually brings me to 1g/lb

Feels a lot better on the gut, easier to hit my micros on a deficit, more energy blabla subjective shit added

Towards the end of a cut, yea I can see the value of bumping protein to 1.5g+
hEaLtH isn’t the focus at that stage

Hmm really? I like Mike… unfollow… refollow… I’m so insecure we don’t have the exact same views!!

Do think population bias is geared towards people who train quite often with him and Jay. Seems a lot of women case studies they do present are CrossFit women who eat meat n 1/2 sweet potato.

Agree could most likely get the same result with cutting out the 1,000 burpees and 750 snatch’s for a post menopausal woman.

💯, this is why I'm an asshole on Twitter. Too many grifters & idiots.

1 world record broken

“Enhanced games”

You mean the Olympics, Professional Sports, Corporate, Start ups

Coming from dudes on here that take shit for more likes

No way people have always been coached in enhancements when money is involved though

“Gonna change everything” lmao

[Doc Abir - Muslim Testosterone Whisperer @DocAbirHealth]

The enhanced games exposed that your natural olympics is not so natural after all.

They’re all on drugs.

Also some of these enhanced were not enhanced for very long.

Once that is sorted and they can optimise their enhancement for long periods of time, then the real fun will begin.
