Not for mothing but why would you miss your medx for 4-5 days? I can see one day. Its thats a personal question, please disregard
I didn’t really have warning signs. I’m sure there was something, but it kinda hit me out no where.
No worries, I’ve forgotten to pack them on trips before and missed 7-10 days. I’m on a medium dose so I’m not at risk of death or anything, but it’s definitely noticeable when I don’t take them.
As someone who grew up with this in their family, i can tell you the mental side of it is worse than any of the physical side of it.
When you wake up every day feeling like someone you arent, it takes its toll.

While I agree to an extent none of those sports that you listed are endurance sports.
40 minutes of 180+ heart rate sustained while wrestling a 225lb motorcycle is a bit different than standing in an outfield or playing for 4 seconds and resting for 30 seconds between snaps.
It's closer to cycling, swimming, distance running, ect. All sports where EBV is more common.
Any of you guys that are Hypo or subclinical hypo thyroid and your doc has you on T4 and your symptoms aren’t improving you probably have a conversion issue to the active hormone T3. This is what happened to me and it was military doctors that initially diagnosed me but refused to change my meds because the endocrinologist still use books from like the 1850s for hormone therapy. My current civilian doctor who is a sports performance specialist was the first to bring up my Thyroid Signaling Hormone (TSH) being high with normal to High T4 but low T3… he added 5mcg T3 first and it improved with the T4, 3 months later after blood work we bumped to 10mcg daily and dropped the T4 and i’ve been stable on that for about 3 years. I don’t feel perfect but at 52 years old and 33 years of combat arms military service i doubt i ever will know what perfect or normal feels like! 😂
Aldon has stated in interviews he's very into power to weight ratio so the lighter a rider can be in his eyes, the greater power to weight ratio as far as on the motorcycle. i.e, A 150 lb guy versus a 190 lb guy, the bike will be faster. This line of thinking and diet restrictions obviously worked well for guys like RC who was chubby, and Mookie who is a bigger guy naturally. But Dungey at his peak was rail thin. Musquin was so skinny and had no shoulders, I was shocked he could hang on to a 450. Roczen has stated many times the diet didn't work for him and he wasn't getting enough calories. I think we are seeing it with AP right now with some of his health issues. Naturally thin guys don't need to be restricting calories that much. No, I'm not a trainer, and yes Aldon has won many titles with his riders so he clearly knows what he is doing. I am however naturally thin and have tried calorie restrictive diets and eating really clean and I'm usually tired and don't have the energy. I rarely drink Coke or sodas, but I usually take one to the track and have it in between motos or sessions and it does make a difference.
The Thyrod gland affects Testosterone levels, and some Thyroid issues such as an underactive Thyroid gland can cause lower than normal Testosterone levels. If your Doctor has not mentioned this, I would ask them about it and ask for a Testosterone test.
Yep. As someone who has dealt with it for almost 20 years, that's one of the worst parts. It really can start to mess with you mentally.
They’re too frail. Plain and simple his diet is dumb.
1,200 calories per hour? That sounds high to me.
Supposedly, soccer players only burn about 850 per hour. I can't imagine MX is that much higher.

I have burned over 5k calories in a day at the practice track according to my watch. I could see where a 30 min moto could easily be 1200k
Don't believe any of the wearables. They exist to take your money and data - and make you dependent. Sleep score, hrv, most data is not as helpful as the mfg's of these things lead you to believe.
Not saying you arent burning a ton - you are, but You need a metabolic cart to get actual cal expenditure.
Agree with the military guy about T3 for people not responding to T4/synthroid. Get checked for T3 and reverse T3.
Are they even in the ball park? I really only use mine for heart rate. I will say it’s consistent. Any gym workout I burn about 300 cals in an hour.
Healthy Ando with a holeshot wins a race, stamp it
I think this minor adjustment was needed... I hope he's 100% and gives us some of that that old school 2022 Ando.
Yes. Ive burned 1K in an hour on various pieces of cardio equipment. An hour of moto would burn serious calories
The gizmos give an estimate based on your weight, age, sex, and pulse.
They also factor in an estimate for your basal metabolic rate, calories burned by being alive and keeping your body thermoregulated.
As you get in better shape you actually burn fewer cals during the same workouts, but your basal metabolic rate goes up to support an increase in muscle mass and recovery.
I think it's in the ball park and gives people a general idea of their caloric requirements even if the accuracy is overstated.
Hormones are a much bigger part of the puzzle than calories. If hormones are functioning correctly then a person will cease being hungry at the point they are nourished. Combined with nourishing food, the system thrives. Excessive fat is accumulated when hormones are disordered, as well as low energy, poor sleep, dysregulated mood, basically everything already covered.
If I was helping a friend trying to lose weight or get in shape, I would focus 95% on hormonal health and 5% on exercise.
Some common things that can dysregulate hormonal health:
Industrially processed food and drinks, poor sleep, over training / physical stress, mental stress, chemical exposure, blue light after dusk, electro magnetic radiation (wireless devices like phones and wifi).
Makes a lot of sense. Thanks
