Boron9/9/2018 So I promised I would do a Boron post. I have been taking 3mg of standard Boron for a while but after doing some more looking into it I've upped my dose to 6-9mg and switched brands to this patented form. I'll keep you posted on these changes.
The benefits of Boron are vast. It does everything from boosting testosterone to extending the half life of Vitamin D. I've stopped VitD Supplementation as it is a fat soluble hormone that interacts with Vit A. Boron may be the solution to a vitD deficiency. Here's an article for more info on Borons benefits www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4712861/ This isn't an informational blog as much as showing what I'm doing and trying. I will say that I have a short list of supplements I think everyone should consider taking and Boron is on the list. Yesterdays post was on Lithium Oritate and now Boron. These trace minerals are very interesting and are responsible for so many functions in the body. I always encourage people to start supplementing things your body doesn't make or store first before anything else. Minerals are on the top of that list.

Lithium Oritate9/8/2018 One of the big reasons I'm excited about doing this health blog is because I will be able to go back and see different products and behaviors I have tried.
A few years back I used to take lithium oritate and was a big fan of it. Not sure why I stopped taking it but it will be interesting to see how it fits with my existing protocols. Lithium Oritate is not the drug but it is great for the brain. I'm not going to use this blog to go into lots of science details but here is a good video going over it's benefits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jw-CrAR5E7M I've started this again today and will share any updates. anyone who struggles with depression, anxiety, has a history of mental illness, or is looking to improve brain function should look into this product. *Update I made this post yesterday and this is the next morning after taking the lithium oritate. I had really bizarre dreams and at one time had a very hard time waking up and in the dream things were spinning which was very appealing. 2 factorsd I can think of with this 1. Is that they have been redoing the streets around my house and yesterday I walked to the beach to jump in the ocean but the fumes coming of the new pavement were very strong and by the end of the day I was congested with head cold type symptoms which is no fun. 2. Is that I took the lithium oritate. When I took this product in the past I never remember having any dream issues however, this may just be from being so sound asleep which may not be a bad thing. I'm going to keep taking it and we'll see if this continues or not. Wondering if anyone else has had dream issues from it. It' would make sense. Keto Protein is a Scam9/6/2018 Health Rant
The word keto comes from ketones Ketones are made from fat, not protein, not carbs only fat A keto diet typically has a 70% fat 30% carb/protein macro mix Proteins do not make ketones they make glucose, the opposite of the goal of a keto diet There is no such thing as Keto protein powder What's worse is that a protein in powdered form spikes insulin much more than protein in other forms Adding fat (mct's or otherwise) to a protein powder does not make the protein convert to ketones - protein converts to glucose always Mct's convert to quick fuel, they act like a carb Eating glucose in any form, ketones, mct's or fats will always prevent the body from using body fat because it takes work to break down body fat and any other readily available fuel source will be used before body fat water, glycogen, muscle, and waste are all weight and none of them are fat The popular keto phrase fat for fuel should be body fat for fuel as eating fat does not make tyou loose body fat. The opposite actually. I'm not saying you can't loose fat opn a keto diet. It is a good tool but the supplement companies and health practitioners pushing this as a one size fits all diet are just making money. A keto diet done unintelligently will make you loose weight and maintain fat through fat consumption Anyone who incorporates intermittent fasting will target body fat Fake health companies can't make money off fasting but they can make money off things like "keto protein" playing on the ignorance of the population the sad thing....it works there is no such thing as "keto protein" just glucose protein because that what all protein converts to in the same way there is no such thing as keto carbs because they don't convert to ketones either. The people profiting from these products know this. They are counting on you not using common sense and buying the big word on the front of the product.
