@sheetalramchandani1 if stress is part of her picture, then you know it will impact digestion and absorption of nutrients. This is key for her to work on and reduce.

Secondly, let’s explore histamine intolerance a little closer. With high IgE levels, we know that her body’s immune system is responding to an allergen (a few have been…

Hi @sheetalramchandani1 – I saw these results already. It would be great if they can also check RBC zinc and get a full thyroid panel. Unfortunately, TSH, T4 and T3 does not give us a good enough idea of her thyroid function. A full thyroid panel included TSH, Total T4, Total T3 (which they did) but also Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, anti-TPO…

Hi @Bahareh – I’d encourage you to watch the “testing iodine status” video from the Mineral Balance course. The most accurate way is RBC testing, but it’s not widely available. The next most accurate way is to do a 24-hour loaded iodine urine test (if no Hashi’s or other autoimmune disease). Otherwise, simply a 24-hour urine collection test…

Hi @sheetalramchandani1 – thanks for sharing her results.

A few things did jump out. She is still being exposed to an allergen due to the high IgE level. The tests did pick up a few mild allergens such as milk, cashew and environmental allergens. If she’s consuming dairy or nuts, consider removing those 100% for at least 4 months to see if…

Hi @Kkol – I was in a similar situation recently and asked the doctor how much information they’ll get from the MRI if it’s done without contrast. He said about 80%. So it’s not entirely useless, but it might miss data that the contrast can pick up.

Ultimately, it’s essential to weigh the pros and cons of testing on a case-by-case basis with…

This talk was a real eye opener!! Must watch! It challenges our current understanding of basic physiology and what truly impacts heart health!

@naslam1603 I’m speaking to him to see if he’ll speak in December or January. With the holidays, it’s hard to get a commitment from guests during these months.

Regarding the iron spray you shared, the forms of iron aren’t ideal.

Ferric ammonium citrate and ferric sodium EDTA have low to moderate bioavailability and prolonged use of EDTA’s…

@Annie the 3 lamps I’m looking into are:

• SPERTI Vitamin D Sunlamp: FDA-approved device focused solely on UVB light for vitamin D production. Users have reported significant increases in vitamin D levels after consistent use. A clinical study indicated an average increase of 47.5% in serum D3 levels with just five minutes of exposure every other…

Hi @Alyssa – if you have constipation, that is definitely a priority to be addressing first – even if you have to use rapid relief measures. The same factors that can lead to constipation (dysfunction in the main digestive players) can also set a person up for SIBO/IBS. So I’d actually encourage you to address constipation first, and then…
