Seems like your liver is a bit sluggish.

I see. In that case, you may have a subconscious fear of running out of toilet paper, hot water, food, electricity or being kicked out of your home. Where does it end?

Soap does not wash of bacteria coming out of your genitals and ass. You also want to clean the bits of your skin, body secretion, sweat, soap's not gonna do that.

huh

@LessonsSavesLifes fair enough

Leo, has anyone ever look at your gut health? Thyroid conditions can be driven by dysbiosis and by increased gut permeability as can all autoimmune diseases (I think you mentioned Hashimoto's or was it Grave's? Just wondering if you ever went down that route.

A lot of vegans assume a moral high ground and it these kinds of arguments that turn people away. Because you are not talking from a place of love, compassion and understanding but from a position of arrogance and (self-perceived) superiority. I stopped being vegan because I used to become that and because I was judgemental and hateful of everyone who dared to contradict my opinion. Veganism is amazing if it works but it does not for everyone like you have already been told several times. Some people cannot thrive on it without taking 10 supplements. We all come from different countries and would have historically evolved in a different way. We have genetic differences and lot of people have health conditions that cannot be cured by going vegan. If the whole world went 80% plant-based we would have much better results than if 20% of the world went 100% vegan.

Make sure it is not something you could extract from few good books. Building a Story Brand - by Don Miller teaches you how to speak the client's language, how to be where they are, how to position yourself into their life story and how to become their soulmate business partner. He teaches it in a very gentle and organic way and guides you stop by step on how to polish your marketing message. He talks a lot about collecting emails, elevator pitches and common sales mistakes as well.

He answered this many times before. Also the vegan / non-vegan topic has been discussed many times before, try a bit of history search

Hey no problem mate If you every want to chat about anything, feel free to reach out

This is very eye-opening, thanks for sharing Max.

You could specialise on people at your age so say 18-26. Segmenting your market and then tailoring your marketing to a specific group is actually much easier than trying to talk to everyone where you often end up talking to no-one. Lot of young people have issues they need help fixing. Lot of them feel lost, abandoned, have shit from there past they are carrying, ADD is a huge thing with young people so helping with productive habits will be part of that I assume. And you know the way they talk, think and what challenges they face so this could be a perfect opportunity for you. Also, you are not gonna be 20 forever so start now and in your 40s you can be a world-class expert and take on older clientele by that time.

if you are a bit experienced and can do a decent number of pushups (30+ in one go) and squads, you could look into Athlean X's XERO program. It is 100% bodyweight although I have added to it few resistance bands to make it more interesting. Bought it at the beginning of pandemic and definitely improved my functional strength. The program is challenging but rewarding and you get incredible variety of different cardio & strength workout every week for 6 weeks. And you can retake it as many times as you like No paid add here just think it is an incredible thing. However if you are beginner, the programme might not be the best option yet.

@supremeyingyang haterz gonna hate bruh?

if I had to extract the greatest wisdom of reading all 3 pages of these comments

So inspirational !!!

Not 23 and me but I did another genetic testing. There are few problems with the overreliance of genomic testing. Firstly, this does not account for your entire genome, we don't know what majority of our genes do nor have we identified all the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP). We are just playing roulette with the few we know. A lot of this stuff has been left behind by academic research a decade ago because it is not reliable and it is not complete. You may have a genetic snip, say C677T on MTHFR gene which would predispose you for increased blood pressure because your homocysteine may build up faster if your B12 and folate are low. But if your lifestyle is normal and you are not eating like a crazy person this will never become an issue. Now could this become an issue if you are a terrible vegan eating junk food? Yes, absolutely but mostly people will never notice any difference. 2. What I am seeing is that genetic tests are being used as a crutch to have an excuse for poor dietary choices and lifestyle such as "genetic obesity or genetic diabetes". So relying on gene pool to be a sole predetermined factor for our lives are kinda like insisting that 5 year olds have a vision and purpose for their life. That being said if you know you are a carrier of a bad gene for example APOE4 mutation and that your risk of ALzheimer's is increased 11-fold because of that you can do a lot to make sure it never happens but people end up with Alzheimer's even without this due to poor lifestyle choices so it is only a part of the story.

Well why do you think it isn't ok to be fat?

My girlfriend is in her final year to get masters in Environmental Protection & Sustainability in UK. It is her great passion and I am proud of her for following that however she is not clear on how to transition next. Ideally, she would like to have something of her own but is not sure how to get around having experience in this industry. Does anyone have any work experience or any useful resources for people who have careers in this area? Or maybe some sort of coaching programme in the industry. I am not really sure what I am looking for so just stabbing in dark here. Thanks

@LfcCharlie4 what makes you assume your TT is low btw? A lot of guy who I spoke to who assumed it was low, always had perfectly fine levels. You sure this is not coming from a place of media push or some Instagram hype?

@Vagos based on the above it seems like you got the basics covered but it is really hard to say without deeper investigations and looking at all the test you've had done. Have you heard about cronometer.com? It is a tracking software. I'd encourage you to try it for 3-4 days and put in 100% of all foods you eat every day. This way you can assess if you are missing any key nutrients. May also be down to lipid profile imbalance. Happy to have a chat about it.

@Nahm sharing is the the greatest joy in life @LfcCharlie4 the first steps is always to get your testosterone tested. If the values are fine, don't interfere. The body knows how much it needs to produce. If too low, stress and living in hyperdrive are usually the first factors to look into. Or nutritional deficiencies. I wouldn't suggest taking medical TRT in your 30s unless you absolutely run out of all your options and start losing muscle and bone mass.

@Vagos tell us a bit more about your diet , lifestyle, sleep and exercise regime.

@Girzo did they think you have a gastric ulcer? Or no diagnosis at all?

Just download the "dark reader" addon on chrome and it will blunt some of that bright white EDIT: dark reader actually allows you to turn this forum completely dark with only white text so there you go
