    Hello everyone

    How about

    Greenheart farms ? I buy from veggies from them when in season. Love their regenertiave farming ethos and like to support them

    Also love prime gourmet pure grass fed meat . Expensive but well worth the money I think .

    For wild caught fish – spinneys meadows has wild caught salmon and Sea bass there regularly . Very pricey but of course worth it I think every once in a while . Also I have started to find smoked sardines in glass jars in spinneys locations . I also get the wild planet ones from iherb but yes the cans are concerning so am pleased to find local glass ones

    @Bernadette Abraham thanks B . I don’t smoke ; I quit 12 years ago . And I eat plenty of animal protein. Maybe I could use to bring it up a notch to make it the 30g but I general I make sure I eat anima protein at every meal

    Am Wondering whether this was a a result of breastfeeding – I stopped in February after 14 months – but since I was exclusively pumping I produced a lot of milk , and was severely underweight – things are much better now but I just wonder if that’s what caused it ?

    Honestly I can’t think of anything in my diet ..

    Since 2 weeks I have been taking 2 capsules of this , what do your think ? ( bood test is as taken before I started (

    For vitamin A I try to take beef liver every now and then. But I did have issues with low bile in the past so maybe that can be the cause. I took the test and it was 0 for all answers .

    I look forward to hearing from you

    @Bernadette Abraham

    Thank you . Regarding the lab results of DHEA-S I did it 2 months ago with the same lab ( via Valeo ) and I think the lab reverence’s are the same . I will check my files and let you know .

    How do you find Valeo ? Are they reliable ? Am finding them the most cost effective with out of pocket tests but if you have any other suggestions pls let me know as I am in touch with them regarding the vitamin A , zinc and copper that you recommended ( by the way they don’t have Copper RBC)

    I will send you my insulin tests . They are not made via conventional medicine , so I think they are fine

    Hmm cutting alcohol completely is not pleasant lol ! I don’t generally have a lot but eveyone in a while I like to have it as a “mood” . But I will keep your advice in mind

    I would say my calowire intake is low yes . I am trying my best to increase it bit honestly it’s hard work for me and it takes a lot of energy to focus on it

    Thai was a helpful of handout cos some of those things ( sinus heavy head etc ) I def get from time to time and I always assumed it was from dusty weather i. Am a little worried of eliminating so many things and losing even more weight . Any help or strategy you can provide would be appreciated

    just one thing : you mentioned anovulation : I do ovulate ( maybe last month I didn’t and hence my period was later and cos progesterone was low ) I have a pretty decent cycle length and my progestrone in the past was alsways ok never as low as 0.58 . I think that was truly ass a result of a very stressful last couple of months

    @Bernadette Abraham thank you so much for all this . I will tackle one by one and ask some additional questions and give you more info if needed

    First of all I just received further horomone testing which I will attach at the bottom of my replies here . Just a small note : 2 months ago my progesterone was super low (.58 only ) and I was put on an adrenal protocol . So am glad to see it go up now. My DHEA-S was 97, now it went up to 107. Interetsing you say that my DHEA -S is so high , I was under the impression that it’s actually low !

    I want to ask 2 things before I reply to yours

    do you reccomend that I dog deeper and get a Dutch test done ? It’s pretty pricey so I want to know if it will help me further or are things clear from the blood tests I did ?

    Is being androgen dominant heriditay ? And if so what I can do to reverse it in my daughter ?

    Your replied below

    Stress level : it’s ok . I have a stressful life and job and I have had quite a difficult year . I think my progesterone went down due to this . The last 2 months I am feeling much better with the adrenal program I was on

    I don’t have insulin resistance no , I get tested

    I don’t drink much , maybe once a week if I do and like one or 2 glasses of wine

    Thyroid :.L actually my thyroid was under active , but we test it regularly /‘d it’s been stable

    I have been diagnosed with PCOS yes . Also I should add that ever since I was a teenager I suffer from excess facial hair

    I suffer from being underweight rather than overweight .

    I never got tested for zinc no , I can certainly do it if you think it wouod help

    I don’t cook in cast iron and I don’t take iron although in the past I did

    Never tested vita A no . Though when I read some comments here I started looking into it via Valeo. Some research online says the serum is useless cos most vita a is stored in liver ? Again am fed it and desperate so if this help I wouod do it !

    Never got tested for RBC magnesium

    11. I don’t have gut issues and I don’t have food intolerance as far as I know . When I get flare up I try to cut dairy which is usually only kefir cottage cheese and butter

    12. I had mold recently and was put for a protocol and has heavy metals and also went through chelation a few years ago and had a horrible acne reaction so I stopped half way . I really do think that my issue with acne is with androgens cos it’s around a ovulation and it stopped completely when I got pregnant and hence was not ovulating

    Hi @Daniel Schepers was looking only this as I am struggling with acne again after having a respite for 2 years since I got pregnant . For the life of me I could never succeed at knowing how to access fullscript . Pls can you make screenshots of the stuff you mentioned here like topical vit m and the zinc ?

    @Bernadette Abraham thanks for your feedback . The current protocol I am on was given to me by Dr heather Eade whom I see . I will ask her about too much B6 on my next visit with her

    With regards to the pectaclear you mention evening on empty stomach , I usually have a late dinner at 8 and sleep at 10 is that sufficient ? How many hours otherwise I should have no food? But healthy I know but my current schedule allow me to only eat by 8

    @Bernadette Abraham thank you very much. I asked them today and unfortunately yes they said that this is the contrast and that I need to take it otherwise no point in MRI ( breast )

    I will try to get pectaclear if it can come here on time before my appointment:does it have any side effects of detox that i should be aware of ?

    As for other support am already on this protocol , I think this should be covering the ones you mentioned no?

    May 3, 2024 at 6:17 pm in reply to: Insurance for functional testing

    @Bernadette Abraham it doesn’t seems to be . According to my broker it’s the same policy , it’s just that here if you have UAE residency you have to buy the policy issued by Sukoon but apparently benefits are the same . Or so they say ! Am fighting towards getting it covered as my relative is with orient ( local insurance ) and they got the stool test covered !
