    Hi @naslam1603 – there could be many different reasons for mild dilated cardiomyopathy such as genetics, chronic conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes or thyroid disorders, as well as toxins and infections that affect the heart such as viral myocarditis. Therefore, the proper support all depends on the cause.

    @naslam1603 both options work. If using natural sea or Himalayan salt, I often recommend using “sole” (pronounced solay) to my clients which is saturated salt water because that ensures you’re getting in the full trace mineral profile in that salt as opposed to what you may or may not get from a pinch of salt.

    @naslam1603 dehydration is no joke! That’s why hydration is one of the health pillars I discuss in the Beginner’s Health Roadmap.

    Thank you for sharing – it’s a good reminder to hydrate before AND after sauna use. And hydration is not only about drinking water, but also replenishing those lost electrolytes through sweat!

    Hi @Kkol – sorry to hear that your wife is in a flare at the moment.

    I can also understand why the doctor is suggesting to remove the hot nodule if she’s complaining of a choking sensation, but if she’s against it, then definitely get a 2nd opinion because you’re right to question the removal otherwise.

    A good friend of mine recently had…

    Hello @adoobeh99 – you’re correct in wanting to support gut health when joint pain is involved since many contributing factors do begin in the gut. Below is a list taken from this handout on Joint Pain from the Symptom Dictionary which highlights root cause factors:

    @naslam1603 good question! It has to do with practicality, cost and effectiveness.

    Porcine kidneys are used for DAO supplements because they’re rich in the enzyme, are biologically similar to humans so they’re effective for absorption, and are easier to process compared to lamb or beef kidneys. They’re also more widely available and…

    Reply to Protein powders

    @Annie you certainly can combine your own. So Nuzest is a clean pea protein – single ingredient. Kirkland’s whole organic hemp seeds (from Canada) offers a heavy metal free option for hemp seeds which can be easily blended if making a smoothie for example. I haven’t done any research on heavy-metal free rice protein powders only, but if you…

    Hi @Bahareh – your assessment and plan look great, however I’d like you to think a little deeper into why steatocrit might be high and the implications.

    Steatocrit is a marker that looks at the level of fat in the stool, so in your assessment, why would that be?
