So happy that you guys are. back.

In the video, it was mentioned that Taurine lowers white blood cells. My NK and B cells are just on the border of being below normal range. Maybe not so good for me to take given this fact. Have already ordered some Taurine, but now after knowing this not sure if it is safe to take. Any thoughts?

Thanks keen to watch.

HI I'm curious if sustaining oneself on a diet solely consisting of raw fruits, nuts, and vegetables is feasible. Are there potential risks of malnutrition or other long-term effects on the body associated with this diet? My mother is deeply committed to this eating pattern, believing it to be the optimal choice for health and longevity, asserting that it can even cure various diseases. I'm interested in hearing your perspective on this matter.

If l took this drug once per week l think it would be enough to stop me from being hungry to be able to practise low calorie daily for the entire week. Just not sure if this drug can be used in this way.

What about taking it in small doses only when needed and short term, for only a month or so? Are the risks any less if you taken this way?

My husband was on saxenda for 5 months and lost 20 kilos. We have left over saxenda as he is happy with his weight, l am tempted to take it, but am worried about healthy risks. Are there any major health risks associated with these kind of drugs? I would like to lose 5 kilos but am always hungry.

Thanks guys. Appreciate this information. So l gather they are trusted sources to obtain credible information. I just don't read anyone here talk about sauna use, hence why l didn't think they rated high on the longevity/health scale compared to other life style changes. Cheers Snez

Hi Are there any real health benefits to using a Sauna? Cheers Snez

Hi Clinton Having tried all kinds of supplements and am now a firm believer that food should the main source of your nutritional needs, as l find each time l take some kind of supplements, (my latest was magnesium,) even on a small dose l felt quiet unwell and lethargic and floaty brain fog. I took them mainly for sleep as l tend to fall asleep easily but wake up during the night. The only supplement l take at times is Zinc and mushroom for immune health. So will try the melatonin. Hopefully l won't feel groggy the next day. Which one do you take and how much? Regarding Iodine, what about using iodised salt? For B vitamins, l take the nutrilite Dual Action and one per day has just the right RDA requirements. When l type it in the cron, its perfect. Thanks for all the very helpful info, will be looking into examine for the reviews. Cheers Snez

I use chronometer app, and the only thing that shows a deficiency is iodine. I remember watching a program that fish and shellfish has the best absorption rates, and that seeweed is not as easily absorbed. Your thoughts on this please. I also take low dose B complex on some days, but is it not better to take fortified Nutritional yeast instead? Lastly l noticed many talk here about Melatonin, is this mainly to aid sleep or for healthy reasons? Thanks so much for your help. greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much, for great info. Will take it all on board. So, is that a no to B3 and magnesium supplements??? If so, why? Cheers

What supplements do you take? What are your thoughts on B3 (nicotinamide) for anxiety and improved mood, and magnesium for sleep and relaxation. Cheers Snez

Thanks, thats what l was thinking too. Probably not a good idea for people like me, who suffer from health anxiety.

HI Has anyone had there genetic tests done through 23 and me, and had it run through Promethease? If so, does anyone know how reliable the information is? I had this done and it shows some very scary results. Not many good ones.

Good to know. Thanks

cheers thx

I have read over those studies which is quiet concerning.but what is more concerning for me, l found a court case on the particular ashawangda powder l was taking and l immediately discarded it. From what l understand lead is everywhere, but its how much we take in over a short amount of time that can be harmful as the body does get rid of it slowly. Consumer lab suggested 3 different kinds, of one which l have just ordered. As l only plan on taking it a few times per week, hopefully it is a low enough levels not to effect my health. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply.

Is there any Ashwangandha supplement powder from Japan or anywhere int he world that is pure from all these chemicals? How can we trust that this is the case. Eating the plant root itself fresh is probably best.

Hi I was just looking at my packet of Ashwagandha organic root powder and on the side in small print it states, this product may contain Lead and other chemicals which can cause cancer. Does anyone know if this is common for this herb supplement to contain Lead? Any products which don't contain possible chemicals and Lead and how do we know for sure they don't? Very scary as l was enjoying the calming effects it has on my anxiety.

Thanks so much for the info.

Usually l make a batch of Broccoli soup with Gelatin powder and vegetable stock and find that very filling. Also, l make smoothies with protein powder, but never had guar gum, and l usually take plyslliium husk in the from of capsules when l haven't gone to toilet for a few days. I tend not to eat much fat as they are high in calories. Are you suggesting to eat a little fats each day? Whats the best natural sweetener? I find stevia very unappealing. What pea protein powder do you suggest? FMD-do you mean fasting mimicking diet? If so, l have done this in the past every few months, but haven't done it for a while. Does Metformin cause nausea in some people? Lastly, what is the best way to get good gut bacteria. I force myself to eat yogurt a few times per week, and pickle vegetables. Many thanks for the helpful ideas and insights.

My eating window is from 2-7pm each day, so that is some kind of fasting. But will look into Jason Fung, am interested to read about what he has to say. Being nearly 50 and in menapause makes it very difficult to say in the healthy weight range without constantly feeling hungry. When l eat 1000 calories per day l lose about 1/2 kilo per week but always regain the weight back when l eat more. Sick of YO YO dieting. I understand CR is very beneficial for longevity, but l also want to be able to eat enough not to always be hungry. So l am thinking of eat more like 1300 calories per day and give myself a chance for a slower weight loss that l can maintain for life. Being only short 153cm l guess even this calorie level would be high.

HI Your thoughts guys. Good or bad? https://greatlakesgelatin.com/products/hydrolysate-single-can

Just a quick question. Does eating 800-1000 calories per day and losing weight, decrease your metabolism over time? If it does, then keeping weight down would be a never ending battle hard to win. Cheers Snez
