🧠 How to Ask Questions? (Please read)
Please post your questions directly in the community feed, and choose the most relevant category. 🚫 Don’t DM me questions. ✅ Community posts are the fastest way to get response from me in 24 hours. When you post your question in the community: • Everyone benefits from the answer • The knowledge becomes searchable • Repeated questions get organized in one place • I can respond more efficiently • This stays affordable at $9/month After nearly two decades in medicine, I’ve learned something: Most people want direct, private access and I understand that. I’m grateful for the trust. But if I answered every question through DMs or email, this would quickly become: • Unscalable • Extremely expensive • Limited to only a small number of people That’s not what I want. This community exists to make my knowledge & proven results accessible to more people — not fewer. When you post publicly, your question help dozens of others dealing with the same issue. That’s how we build something sustainable and useful for everyone. Thank you for being part of this movement. — Dr. Ty

👋 Introduce Yourself
Hello There! Every good community starts with people getting to know each other. I’m Dr. Ty Vincent, a family physician in Kona, Hawaii. I’ve spent 25 years working with patients and asking a lot of questions along the way. This space is for real conversation about hormones, chronic illness, immunity, and making sense of conflicting medical advice. Just tell us: - Where you’re from - What brought you here - What you’re trying to figure out Say hello, settle in, and get to know the people here. 🤝
Sleep Duration
Hey @Ty Vincent I appreciate all the guidance you've been providing. I'm hoping you could offer some perspective on sleep. I go to bed around 8:00–8:30 p.m. aiming for 7–8 hours, and I wake almost every night at 2:00–3:00 a.m. and struggle to get back down. What's already covered, from your sleep guidance: - No artificial light in the bedroom at all, including taped-over device LEDs - No screens in the evening — no TV, no phone - No food within two hours of bed - No caffeine after noon - I've very calm before bed and fall asleep in mins The other piece is nighttime urination: I'm up 2–3 times, usually once around 10 p.m.–midnight and again at 2:00–3:00 a.m. I drink roughly 1–1.5 gallons of water a day and cut fluids off around 5:00 p.m. I'm curious how you'd think about this. Is the nocturia likely driving the sleep issue, or could something else be contributing to both? Appreciate your perspective.

🔴 Live Q&A - This Sunday!
Hip OA from impingement — does the collagen protocol still apply?
Hey @Ty Vincent — just watched your osteoarthritis video, curious how it applies to mine. Left hip OA since 2015 after years of heavy lifting (competitive powerlifting). MRI shows cartilage thinning, a small labral tear, and CAM impingement (a bony bump grinding the joint every time the hip rotates in). Right hip is perfectly normal. HLA-B27 negative, hs-CRP under 1. So mine looks mechanical, and it's only one hip. Two questions: 1. If the damage is driven by that bump, does desensitizing to collagen still help, or does the immune side only matter when it started things? 2. Osteophytes have been there since 2019. Am I past the window for rebuilding cartilage?
