[@trplankowner3323]

Thank you to Shadia for helping Mike create a great reference video for all of us!

Take NAC to keep ovarian endometriomas from multiplying and getting larger. See Italian study where women waiting for surgery to remove endometriomas took 600 mg three times a day for the three months while waiting for surgery. None of them needed surgery after the 3 months.

Interesting I would also say that high blood sugar feeds the tissue making periods worse and the endo tissue more painful .. a change to carnivore and very low carb is the best approach for balancing hormones with women with this disease .. yet doctors never tell women this it’s the same with PCOS why aren’t this women recommended to go low carb ?!

Thanks for commenting this

As someone who just had a bunch of bloodwork done 2 days ago, this was a very interesting video.

[@amarilles]

I love these kinds of videos!

As a double boarded IM ER I learned to treat people and not labs. I was a bad mf in them clinics with impeccable diagnostic skills

That Vit D can take calcium from bone into the blood is the reason Vit K2 MK7 is required to moderate that issue. Recent research suggests Vit K2 4mg dosing is optimal for bone support, but much higher doses if Osteoporosis is already present.

Excellent video! I am a 42 year type 1 diabetic 63yo. I do the same panels you go over here with my FM. Once we felt like my panels were optomized, I tested my ESR levels with an at home FDA approved device. As long as my ESR stayed in the single digits, my panels were in the optomized zones. I realize ESR is dismissed as an analytic tool because of the lack of specificity. However, if and when I introduced a specific change to my diet that caused inflammation, the blood panels would show the specifics. By using the at home test, I can keep track of responses without having to go through the expense of a full panel. I will keep doing the full panels once or twice a year and use the ESR test as an immediate indicator. I've been able to get my A1C at 5.7-6.0 since this combo. The ESR machine is produced by COR ONE who was on the development of the I-watch.

My wife had endometriomas and her iron was always low. Once that was taken care of, her iron & ferritin levels went back to normal. That's most likely where your low iron levels are coming from.

Wow you are getting censored so hard dude. Ive been subbed with notifications and I rarely see your vids in my feed it feels like. Ngl the attractive women drawed me in and brought me back 😂 Love your videos please keep it up

[@stepheneverhardt4731]

Great video! Happy Hollidays to you and your family.

[@aintgonnaworrynomore]

Thanks Mike.

[@shannonkimbro5859]

Can you please do a video about what happens when you have been low carb 50 or less for over a year, and how blood sugar goes super high if any high glycemic food is eaten?Never had this issue before going low carb and all my other numbers are great. Triglycerides 48, H A1C is 5.3 and HDL 95. It’s almost like going low carb has made me intolerant to any high glucose food. One piece of pie over Thanksgiving sent glucose up to 200 one hour after eating. Many people will be scared by this and may stop low carb for fear that it is making them insulin resistant.

What is your blood sugar an hour later , does it normalize ? Look high blood sugar after a carb meal is the body’s process , the problem is when your body doesn’t push it into the cells and the lock & key system via insulin is messed up . The circulating blood sugar is the problem . As long as your blood sugar goes back down your metabolism is firing .. if you haven’t had carbs for a year of course your blood sugar is going to go up . Nothing wrong with that .. does it stay there ? Also do you need the carbs or are you just tired of being low carb and wanted a meal that wasn’t low carb .. just a lot of questions but for real don’t stress over one meal .. when the other 99 are low carb

[@carnivorechronicles]

BG spiking sky high is normal after being low carb for extended period. It’s like your body has not been exercising for extended period then you try to do triathlon only to keel over out of breath and unconscious. Same way with the pancreas. That’s how it was explained to me. But your mileage may vary. To me cheating is a bad idea.

[@babaluto]

@@shannonkimbro5859 Could quite possibly be more of a response to refined carbs. After going on a remedial Paleo diet prescribed by my FM, I started reintroducing some carbs again and experienced extended spikes with regular flour, table sugar etc. I've switched to sprouting brown rice before cooking. Baking potatoes then refrigerate overnight then reheat. I now get more of a glucose spike from a garden salad. This is a big deal being a type 1 diabetic. It can be a pain in the ass at first but becomes routine after a bit.

[@shannonkimbro5859]

@@Kroh13 Thank you for the response. I rarely eat a high carb meal but sometimes during the holidays I will eat something like sweet potatoes, and it will shoot up to 220 and takes 2 hours to go back down to 100 or so.

I would suggest a good air purifier for her bedroom. Might help some with allergies.

[@Kelly_Silverman]

They you for this!! Do you know how long I've been trying to find out what optimal numbers are? I've been wanting to compare my numbers to what optimal numbers look like for a long time. I don't trust with my doctor is saying And I can't afford to see a holistic doctor at this time 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@xmyxymx]

There’s a website called optimaldx or something like that. In their blog section, They have most common markers with research references and optimal ranges. I found it very useful as I just like yourself was trying to find the optimal ranges. Hope it helps ❤ I just go to their blog Section and type in markers name into search, ie ferritin, vitamin b12, vitamin D, GGT, homocysteine etc

So many average health conscious people take lots of supplements willy nilly, without understanding over supplementation regarding otc vitamins/minerals.

Dawn Phenomenom happens to me because my body knows I need it to work out. I dont eat till noon

Functional medicine isn't practiced by health coaches. It should only be practiced by those with a bonafide medical degree. Functional medicine is a legitimate field of medicine not a term to be applied to fitness instructors. I have no issues whatsoever with health coaches giving their opinions and suggestions on KZbin or imon suggesing what labs are good; just not when they claim to be "involved in the field of functional medicine" without a medical degree.

[@jennas8449]

Does being a regular blood donor affect A1c?

[@doejohn8674]

Fasting insulin and no HOMA-IR calculation?

[@andrewf.7813]

What is the difference between hematocrite, iron and ferritin?

[@him-hk7ii]

The crit is the level of rbc iron the other 2 including tibc, MCV. Mchc. are other indices which tells about size and storage of iron on rbc. Helpful in anemia vs acute blood loss.

[@bobdec6665]

workouts can raise crp a little

[@firstlast1732]

You really made a bad call and I lost respect for you. The insulin fasting marker at 10 is not good at all. Should’ve been near 4 to 5. She’s a former personal trainer so she’s looking to do as best as she can for optimization and this marker suggest she’s eating way too frequently and you skipped right over that and you did not serve her well shame on you you really blew that one by not informing her what she needed to do to get that to a more optimal level

[@navazsultanali4622]

42 minutes???

[@Highintensityhealth]

We have shorter videos but this was thorough for a reason.
