@Maurice Daher I'm providing my recent lab results for my June 4, 2026 consultation with you regarding my thyroid and heart health. I look forward to discussing how I can further improve my thyroid and heart health (any anything else that needs to be fixed). I had some thyroid lab results from April 20, 2026 for my physician and then again on May 20, 2026 for a 90 day follow-up to my first consultation with you. Here are the results. 4/20/2026 (Thyroid only) TSH: 13.04 (was taking 50 mg of Lugol's 5% iodine a day) Free T3: 3.9 (after taking 5 mcg of liothyronine about 2 hours before blood draw) Free T4: 0.5 Reverse T3: 5 TPO: 1 TgAB: <2 5/22/26 (Thyroid and Heart) TSH: 10.25 (reduced Lugol's 5% iodine to 25 mg a day) Free T3: 3.5 (after taking 5 mcg of liothyronine about 3 hours before blood draw) Free T4: 0.6 Reverse T3: 5 Apo B: 174 (was 225 when tested on 10/2/24) Lp(a): <10 (tested on 10/2/24) LP PLA2: 132 Oxidized LDL: 73 Fibrinogen: 305 HDL APO C3: 53.06 HS CRP: 1 Homocysteine: 5.6 Insulin: 3.6 Estradiol: <30 F2 Isoprostane: <0.2 Creatine, urine 41 F2 Isoprostane/Creatine ratio: <0.48

I have a challenge for every one of you this week. I want you to watch my newest documentary: "Same Food. Different Body." https://youtu.be/rMpBNFI3tRc This may be one of the most important concepts I've ever taught because it explains why so many people become confused, frustrated, or discouraged when they try to copy someone else's success. Two people eat the exact same meal. The same steak. The same eggs. The same butter. The same portion. One loses weight. One gains weight. One improves blood sugar. The other sees it rise. One watches ApoB improve. The other watches it climb. Was one person "doing the diet wrong?" Or was the biology underneath the plate completely different? That's the question I explore throughout this documentary. We walk through the major biological filters that determine how your body responds to food: • Metabolic history. • Muscle mass. • Liver function. • Hormones. • Sleep and stress. • Digestion and absorption. • Genetics. My goal isn't to convince you that one diet is better than another. My goal is to teach you how to think biologically instead of ideologically. Remember... Food is the input. Biology is the interpreter. 📚 HOMEWORK After watching the documentary, I want everyone to answer these three questions in the comments. 1. Which biological filter do you think has had the biggest influence on your own health so far? (Muscle, liver, hormones, sleep, digestion, genetics, metabolic history, etc.) 2. Have you ever followed the exact same diet as someone else but ended up with completely different results? What do you think explained the difference? 3. What is ONE thing you're going to investigate about your own biology instead of automatically blaming or praising a food? There are no right or wrong answers. The goal of this community has never been to defend a diet. The goal is to understand your biology. I can't wait to read your answers. I think this discussion is going to help many people realize they haven't failed. They simply haven't asked the right questions yet.

This eBook is a complete nose-to-tail guide to organ meats and animal parts, showing you how to close nutritional gaps that muscle meat alone often leaves behind. It explains why liver, heart, kidney, and bone marrow form the foundation of a nutrient-dense diet, and how each organ contributes unique vitamins, minerals, CoQ10, collagen-building amino acids, and essential cofactors. You’ll learn the differences between raw, lightly cooked, well-cooked, and dehydrated preparations, simple recipes for every organ, practical sourcing tips, and a step-by-step weekly framework to build consistency without overwhelm. This is not about eating organs for the sake of tradition. It is about understanding human biology, maximizing nutrient density, and using every edible part of the animal to support energy production, cardiovascular health, connective tissue, hormone function, immune resilience, and long-term metabolic health.

@Maurice Daher and friends!! I have a big win here! Your suggestions have been very helpful - yet, I wanted to add more notes in case this helps anyone else. Sometimes an outside help is needed or, at least, can be useful. In this case, a massage therapist. (For anyone curious, the original thread was called "Paralyzed Diaphragm???": https://www.skool.com/mauricedaher/paralyzed-diaphragm ) During a recent appt, therapist noted (as they all have over the past decade) that I have the tightest scalene and SCM (neck muscles) she has come across. (This was my first massage in about 5 years FYI). So, instead of the whole body massage I wanted.. she proceeded to gently RIP my neck apart for 1.5 hours, in addition to areas in the chest and near the armpit called the brachial plexus. (for those curious.. that is where all the nerves 'converge' before continuing down into the arm). I tell you it was a shock to me that my breathing improved almost overnight. I felt as if my upper chest expanded an extra inch, I could take in larger breaths! During activity, I no longer get so out of breath I feel like kneeling. Now it's just the normal tiredness a fat out of shape man should experience. Also, the air hunger has quieted down immensely! It is now much easier to hold the exhale without feeling like i am dying. So, yes, neck stretches were helpful (and I still do them daily!) but the 'massage' (and i use the term loosely , lol) accelerated the results a thousand-fold. The following week I went back and she then concentrated on the intercostal muscles (the muscles in-between the rib bones that help chest expansion) and the diaphragm itself. She also concluded it's not paralyzed - as you and i both guessed. But boy, she dug in there deep - at one point she asked my how I was doing and I couldn't talk because she hit a spot where I was having an emotional release and almost couldn't stop myself from crying. Both massages were very helpful for increasing my breathing ability. Also, I started the NAC supplement for liver health as you suggested. I found out this is a good supplement for people with lung issues. So double help. I used to have a crackle in my exhale. That crackle has all but disappeared! I no longer sound like a 90 year old coal miner with black lung when I breathe. It is utterly amazing! NAC and massage therapy for the win. Continued diligence to maintain!

Three days ago, Kash arrived at our homestead with an uncertain future. Today, she's already beginning to understand something important. She's safe. She's discovering a new routine, a new home, and a new family. What has amazed me most is how quickly she has bonded with Duke. Dogs have a remarkable way of helping each other heal. Duke has been patient, calm, and welcoming, and Cash seems to be taking her cues from him every step of the way. Watching the two of them together reminds me that trust isn't built through force. It's built through consistency, safety, and time. In just a few days, Kash has gone from being the new dog in an unfamiliar place to finding her spot beside Duke, relaxing, exploring, and showing more of her personality each day. There is still a journey ahead, but seeing these two together this morning made me smile. Sometimes healing doesn't happen through complicated protocols or perfect plans. Sometimes healing starts when someone, or in this case, some dog, finally feels at home. Welcome home, Kash. 🐾❤️ Duke seems pretty happy about it too. 😊
