Hi all,

Please see below details on my Protocol and blood test results, any advice greatly appreciated (besides Iodine query shown).

1. Summary: Age 24; Approx. 7m on/7m off fin; most PFS common sides (plus sinus/ETD)

2. Daily diet & supplements:
(i) Paleo/mostly organic meat, eggs and veg., includes saturated fats e.g. gluten free sausages, bacon, coconut (meat, milk, oil) for T/lower GI (fruits etc)/probiotics (homemade sauerkraut and store bought kombucha)/8 oz organic bone broth 2x daily (ginger added)/raw garlic (4-5 cloves)/no gluten & dairy. Did 3 day bone-broth fast to reduce inflammation. For calcium - 1 tin of salmon with bones (~500mg Ca.) as well as green veg. so ~ 600-700mg Ca.
(ii) 6-10g L-Glutamine; 200mg Mg glycinate; 10mg Zn (included in Vitamin C tablet); 2000mg Omega3; 2000iu vit D3; 1000mg vit C (sustained release); 150ug iodine (kelp)*; 800mg Ashwagandha. Looking to add Royal Jelly & others/CD list.
* Considering stopping kelp because not Iodine deficient (see results below). Agree?

3. Rest & Exercise
(i) 10-12h sleep/night, sometimes restless. Wim Hof breathing every morning followed by a cold shower. Deep meditation before bed.
(ii) Planned low-start weights/aerobic when energy consistently higher.
