If you look back on day 7 of the chronicles of this journey, you can see the initial labs.  Below are the results after 30 days on an animal based diet. Read More

Today is the day of retesting.  I have repeated the same lab work that I did on day 1.  I won’t get those results until next week.   I also Read More

The end is drawing near on the experiment.  I’m glad that I have done this and I’m sure I will do this again in the future as I’ve had a Read More

The first half of the day I experienced something that has only happened one other time this month.  My belly was a little bloated and I was a little gassy.  Read More

I made it through the final weekend of this experiment.  I did have an increase in desire for fruit due to the temperatures being summer-like again.  We have had some Read More

Just some random thoughts. Exercise Soreness I have noticed considerable less exercise soreness.  If eating meat was pro-inflammatory, wouldn’t I experience more soreness and worse recovery?  When we have injury Read More

I have been listening to the book, ‘Lost Connections – Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression – and the Unexpected Solutions‘ by Johann Hari.  He’s a British journalist, not a doctor, Read More

Again, the weekends are pretty chill, which actually makes eating strictly a bit harder.  I need routine to flourish.  Even if I lived on a deserted island, I would create Read More

I was waiting for today as on the schedule for my workout was a 2,000 meter row, 1 mile run, 2,000 meter row, 1 mile run, 2,000 meter row.  A Read More

I was pleasantly surprised to hit a couple new PRs in lifting today with a 6 rep back squat and 3 rep bench press.  In all honestly, I’m loving eating Read More

There’s really nothing remarkable to report.  I feel great.  I don’t have any profound improvements but I also feel I was at a very good starting point before heading into Read More

I’m almost finished with the book, ‘The Plant Paradox‘ by Dr. Steven Gundry.  I am enjoying it, though he would definitely not approve of this month’s experiment.  He’s very against Read More

I’m noticing some small changes in my body.  I feel like I’m leaning out and possibly losing a couple pounds.  Not the direction I want to go but that goes Read More

Day 5 was a Sunday, which is usually pretty chill at our house.  I typically sleep in until 6ish, no workout, head to church with the family, maybe get lunch Read More

So far so good.  The past 2 days I have woken up refreshed, alert, and ready to tackle the day.  On day 3, my HRV was still telling me to Read More

As a provider, I will experiment with myself before recommending things to my patients.  It drives me nuts when a doctor says, “X is bad for you” but has never Read More
