Okay, y’all Volsonly is getting serious. This woman is crazy about him, and he seems to be about her. We may not see him again for a long time. She is from another county so I don’t know anything about her. And I am having a hard time not asking if she is a Vol fan!!

What's a functional medicine doc?

What sort of recommendations did they make? What kind of dietary changes have you made?

TLDR incoming.

My functional medicine doc jokingly calls it voodoo. He’s a great guy. The two main things I cut out of my diet are gluten and dairy. I’m strict with these. No milk chocolate, stuff like that. Also have to watch non-dairy ice creams, because they’ll use wheat-based products for consistency. Having said that, I eat goat cheese like a fool and really enjoy an occasional glass of oat milk. I’ve found good gluten free beers, and really don’t have to work hard to get my menu right. Don’t get me wrong - I LOVE pizza. Love it. But once I took a break from it, and months later decided to have a few slices….my joints aches for days, I was back to blowing my nose and sneezing for an hour or so every morning, and I just felt sluggish. It’s easy not to have pizza now.

Also had a few random things that hit in my sensitivities. I stopped eating bananas. I used to eat bananas all the time. Loved to have a couple of bananas after a run. Big fan of peanut butter and banana. But I had similar experience as pizza. Took a break from bananas. Decided to have one after a run a few weeks later, and was completely dragging ass the next day. Could have been other factors involved, but I’m okay to let them go and not test it. There are random things that ok. I avoid foods that are heavy with turmeric, and I also changed deodorant, shampoo, etc.

To @SSVol’s point, I also take Magnesium and a few other vitamins every day. Vitamin D, Magnesium, Zinc, etc. I keep my GP aware of my vitamin intake.

I have a family history of cholesterol issues (among a few other more impactful health issues - cancer, dementia, etc), and I’m almost 47 and have yet to start cholesterol meds. Not on any meds yet, thankfully.

My hope is that my kids don’t have to watch me live in death the way I have watched both of my parents’ end of life experiences.

I want to be purposeful and intentional. Here’s the link to the functional medicine doc I visit. Explains it a little more.

Doesn’t matter where she’s from. It matters if she is a Vol fan!

Naturally, he’ll have to change his name to @VOLS+1.

Kids and I just left a neighborhood pool here in Murrvall. It occurs to me that, a pool would be an immense amount of work. I hope this young lady enjoys the view from the infinity pool but, she's chipping in to scrub around the exterior.

With cholesterol and dementia in your family, you should get your APOE genetic status checked. You may well have one or more copies of APOE4. One copy increases your risk of Alzheimer's from 9% to 25-30%. Two copies increases that to 50-90%. In either case you can fight it with nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle. Key points to focus on is lowering insulin, fasting glucose, and homocysteine. Look up Dr. Dale Bredesen.

You're sugar enough for me.

Seriously though I've never been a sugary diet guy. Don't eat candy, rarely dessert. No soda. It's genetic.

That sucks man. I hate that for you. Reminds me of a friend of mine with high blood pressure. Guy is an ex marine, doesn’t drink, smoke and always keeps fit. He is on 4 different blood pressure meds and it barely keeps it down. His dad was the same way.
