Cheryl-
it may be quite complex but it maps the effects of cortisol/adrenaline pretty closely. Since these individuals lack normal insulin production they do not shut off hepatic glucose secretion. It’s an interesting exclusion of high intensity exercise being “healthy”.
Bryan-
On it!
Matt-
Killing me with the cover art!! Will tackle the rest in the podcast!
Omri-
Yes, they are a great digestive support.
Robb re thyroid issues,
I’ve cut out other gut irritants – eggs, nightshades (although I do have a little tomato paste in casseroles maybe once every two weeks)
I have been taking glutamine, thought it was good for my gut – but after what you said re gluten and googled it and found a few people said it played with their thyroid test results – so I’ll cut that.
I’ve thought about the veggies, so far I’ve minimised the broccoli etc. Maybe I’ll try cutting them completely for a bit.
I will talk to my doctor about the heavy metals – he mentioned testing for those.
Another thought – just wondered what you think of this:
http://www.endo.gr/cgi/content/abstract/354/26/2783
“More than adequate or excessive iodine intake may lead to hypothyroidism and autoimmune thyroiditis.”
And this
http://www.eymj.org/search.php?where=aview&id=58988&code=0069YMJ&vmode=AR
“In conclusion, 78.3% of patients with hypothyroidism due to Hashimoto’s thyroiditis regained an euthyroid state iodine restriction alone.”
I added kelp tabs when I got diagnosed last year – think I’ll drop them for a while.
Julianne-
150mcg’s should be safe (RDA) but this is certainly something to tinker with.
Robb,
Any recommendations for finding a good bcaa supplement? Is the 2:1:1 ratio the most important factor?
Scivations Xtend seems legite, do you think its good to go?

Buck-
I think MRM has a good one? Really not up to date on the different options.
