Any of you guys tried functional medicine?
I go to a clinic that begins by taking your blood and does all kinds of tests a normal doctor would never do, including allergy tests of hundreds of things. They test the ranges of all sorts of things and their functional ranges are more narrow than the ranges your regular doctor would consider "normal", based on the fact that they think traditional ranges are too wide and are often off what is really healthy, because the ranges are established off people in hospitals, so sick people. Not to mention they test things a regular doctor never would.
Then the 3 doctors tailor a custom ~5-6 month program for you, with a specific supplement regiment to follow based on your lab results while you follow the Whole30 diet. After the Whole30 (30 days) they do all the tests over again and see where you are at, and adjust the program as needed. The whole30 rids your body of all the american bullshit and hidden sugar we eat and allows the test results to be really clear.
This is important because their goal is not to just stick you on 100 supplements and send you on your way, their thinking is that it's a process to discover the root of what is causing certain deficiencies, and treating those directly so that you DONT have to take supplements. In fact, the only supplements you will be on at the end of the 6 months, is because you either have a genetic deficiency, or an autoimmune issue of some kind, and those supplements you will likely need to take for the rest of your life. So in the end its only a couple supplements and a custom diet.
Its pretty expensive, but really cool. They really take the time to explain what is going on in your body and how the different levels of certain things affect other things, that affects other things, etc etc. My issue is that my body was not processing proteins, and was not methylating properly. I also have a insane genetic vitamin D deficiency and am allergic to wheat, peas, and garlic. I even tested positive for some crazy shit that you can only get from ticks, sort of like lime disease but doesn't behave the same way.
Its expensive, at least 5k, but really awesome. Never felt better in my life, mentally just as much as physically. It is like night and day, especially when the brain fog that you didn't even know you had goes away. I'd be willing to bet some factory teams use a similar program. They also will make you a customized exercise program as well, one of the doctors is a triathlete. (all 3 drs bring different focuses to the table). Bunch of other stuff too. https://www.holisticcharlotte.com/
Holistic medicine is no joke bro. The FDA has its pockets lined with big pharma money and hushes anything that doesn't make big pharma money or makes one of their pills obsolete. There is so much proof out there from legitimate studies of holistic treatments, but our government does a good job of keeping it quiet. They wont let you claim anything helps anything, even with overwhelming academic proof, until they evaluate it, which they wont. You wouldn't believe how many healthy, younger functional/holistic doctors have wound up dead in "accidents" and "suicides". If you think I'm being a conspiracy theorist, look it up. The government feeds us shit, and tells us what a "healthy" diet or chemical is based off of what conglomerates of relevant industries pay them.
For example just look at the "you need milk for strong bones" lie. There is "got milk?" posters all over kids schools and milk is what is served at lunch. Guess what? Nobody needs milk, or dairy at all. It's not healthy. Dairy undoubtedly causes inflammation, and the calcium and nutrients that you can get from dairy, you can get from other, healthier sources in your diet. That is just one example of how what we have been told to eat for the past 100 years is based off of the interests of whoever paid up. Isn't it funny that we are socialized to head to the grocery store for "bread and milk" when a snowstorm is coming through, when in reality we should not be consuming either of those things? In fact, the whole food pyramid and related "recommended diet" is bullshit. There is a reason we are so fucking fat and unhealthy, its not "the american way" or cultural, its the bullshit lies, food, and drugs we are fed. Talk to an american nutritionist then talk to a foreign one. Even what is taught here is fucked.
If nothing else, it does make me question about over-consuming meat, in general, and getting more from vegetables. I can see where I would probably feel a little bit healthier if I just reduced meat intake down to a few meals per week, but that's easier said than done for most.
...with billions of dollars invested into every sport in the world, from soccer, baseball, football, basketball, hockey and such... And each one of those sports having some of the best doctors, trainers, nutritionist, dieticians, coaches, etc. If going to a vegan diet was better, offering better performance, faster recovery, better endurance..why haven't they all switched yet?
A vegan based diet is going to be a great diet for anyone coming from a more traditional diet of over consumption of food (especially processed) and under exercised individuals. But at at top level athlete level it just isn't going to provide the nutritional value one would need to compete at the top.
And of course, there is always exceptions to that rule... Outliers
Butcherbox.com, grass fed ribeye steaks, chicken and scallops, cruciferous vegetables eaten between 2PM and 8PM ( IF, 8-16), Organic salad with good olive oil and balsamic. Mostly meat and veg that produces sulphur for the blood. Drink your carbs. For carbs and electrolytes, Bud Light has no HFC so I try to down at least 5 a night. Read everything before you ingest it. If you can't spell it, throw it away./ Throw your microwave in the trash, Google what it does, just to water. Imagine what you are eating..
T. 56 years old, 5'11", 185# at 9% BMI. No gym, jogging or sports except riding 1.5 hours a week 1 time. All levels in range, no meds.I have the most dangerous job in the world.....Desk Jockey.
Does this look like 25.8% BMI to you? LOL
(no homo here)
Do what works for you. I am not in a cut stage right now but this pic is 5 minutes old and yes, I am a wrinkly old fuck. I have been below 5% but felt weak.
YMMV

People that got vegan from a standard diet generally have the same response, although you can be an unhealthy vegetarian - chips, vegan burger, bread, pizza etc are just as unhealthy whether vegan or not.
The question really is should the fast food industry continue to benefit from tax breaks and handouts or should they be taxed in line with the additional cost on society they imbuke? The cost on healthcare due to obesity and heart disease alone is a huge drain on society... there should be studies on the diets and work done to change this, and increase access to healthy food for all. Or we can say it’s personal responsibility and assume that the loss of productivity, drain on the society and getting kids addicted from a young age doesn’t effect you, it does. And although the guvment, shouldn’t tell you what you can and can’t eat and what your kids can and can’t eat, if they don’t allow smoking in the primary school cafeteria, then they also shouldn’t allow McDonald which in the long run, repeated use and exposure creates a health crisis and addiction very similar to smoking. But unlike smoke McDonald’s can market directly to kids and use characters and manipulation to connect their food to fun and excitement and friendship that cigarettes can’t do. I think part of a government mandate should be to protect children from predators at school, and fast food and soft drinks in schools are clear predators. But maybe protecting children is socialism I don’t know.
Either way be healthy people and think about what you are eating. Knowledge is power and taking control of what you eat takes knowledge and a commitment. For all those trying to lose weight two simple concepts can really help - eat fresh food, and know the approximate calories. It’ll start to become second nature and get easier. Ignore the diets that replace calories with numbers and pre packaged weight watchers meals and whatever because they devalue knowledge and try to make it ‘simple’ which also makes it unsustainable.
Also if you have a chest meal or an off day it’s fine, just know the calories and adjust over the coming days. You won’t under the progress as quickly as you think.
All that matters is total calories, hitting your macro numbers, and getting your micronutrients.
There’s a reason why Olympians are eating McDonald’s DURING the olympics. Michael Phelps eats that stuff breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Diet is simple. Don’t complicate it.
Post a pic of your abs w/ your age or sit down and STFU. I shared what is working for me. I have a feeling the :44 second mark in this video is a message for you.. Prove otherwise.

That’s as stupid as when you made up the bullshit about Marshawn Lynch making gang signs.....
WTF are you talking about Fatty?
Once again, post your abs or STFU Fatty. Apple man. ****CRICKETS****
Why do retards want to knock something that is working and shared to help others? I have $0 to gain arguing with Fat Boy here, not selling anything, just telling you what works for this old man. I freaking hate the gym and I have one here at the ranch. Just changing when and what I eat changed everything but I guess I am the AHole?
Post your abs and your age or GTFO of here. If you are my age and are as lean as me then respect. If you are the sloth I picture, than just KYS or try something that works.
I am done with you retard.
I personally eat meat, but I'm not one that has to have meat to make a meal a meal. I'm happy with a veg option and have a few days a week where I don't eat meat.
I pointed out that at your claimed height and weight that your BMI is 25.8. You obviously didn't understand what BMI is because you replied with a supposed picture of yourself asking if it looked like a 25.8 BMI torso. That revealed even more ignorance on your part, as BMI is a height/weight ratio, and not something that is simply visible by lifting one's shirt up a few inches.
You obviously didn't understand what BMI is, and now you are embarrassed and feel the need to lash out. That's understandable I guess.
You are correct that I am a tub of goo, though. I'm 6'5, 290 with a very high BMI. But that doesn't affect my ability to read and understand things like what BMI actually means.
And yes, you were the asshole who claimed that Marshawn Lynch was flashing some sort of imaginary gang sign in the o'neal thread a while back.
There are Ironman athletes (fittest people in the world) who are vegan. There are weedy gamers who are vegan. There are omnivorous Ironman athletes. There are plenty of obese omnivours.
On this topic, the science is out and nothing is certain. Do what works for you.
