Any advise for dealing with parasites? in doing basic Cellcore stack right now + Diatamatious earth.

Any tips or tricks that can enhance the process or make it more affective? What have you had the best results with?

Also what carb sources would you suggest consuming when cleansing? And whats the best way to implement them into meals without directly feeding the parasites?

When it comes to parasite cleanses its more about optimizing your system to make it as uninhabitable for pathogens as possible. This comes down to:

- Increasing salivary enzyme function by chewing food thoroughly

- Keeping stomach acid high and potentially incorporating digestive enzymes and betaine HCL/pepsin

- Improving your biliary system (up bile conjugation with TUDCA and taurine)

- Maintaining immune function with tools like Black Seed oil, vitamin C, and mineral density

- Improving lymphatic flow with dandelion root, lymph massages, and rebounding

Why is it when I do fruit till noon (specifically strawberries and blueberries) I don’t get this focus everyone is talking about? I’ve been doing the protocol for 3 weeks and taking 1-2,000mg of taurine with.

Its likely you're A not getting enough carbs or B not causing mitochondrial adaptation. How much time are you spending active/outside? Do you feel an increase in body temperature?

Consider implementing fruit juices. Berries don't have that much sugar all things considered

Strawberries and blueberries are comparatively low in carbs. You are low on carbs if that's all you eat in the morning. Try different fruits like pineapple, mango, grapes, sth. with more sugars.

My knees feel incredibly stiff and sometimes sore if I bend them for a 27 year old, and has done for the last few years. I really notice it after playing soccer or squatting.

I eat fairly clean and avoid seed oils as much as I can. Any advice?

Your mechanics are fucked. Start wearing exclusively barefoot shoes. incorporate knees over toes lunges. Check out functional patterns & rope flow by David weck. You need to relearn your gait. No more lifting shoes.

hone your training around rebuilding your knees. Incorporate BPC 157 to expedite healing & restructuring. no running shoes

Hi Noah, what are the best resources on nutrition/supplementation during pregnancy for my wife as well anything I should know with regards to vaccinations etc or anything that can set up my kid for the healthiest possible life. Thanks.

Expand full comment
Noah Ryan's avatar

Yo! Congrats on expecting.

1. How to heal your metabolism (book)

2. Andra (bioavailableND)'s Twitter account (this would by my bible if expecting)

3. The nourishing traditions book of Baby & child care

As for what I know about peak development (based on wanting giga-chad kids), peri-natal nutrition is the most important determining factor in developmental outcomes. How your wife lives, eats & thinks during that period is everything.

No stress, biological or psychological. Eat GOOD, eat a lot (overnutrition). As for birth, I would explore semi-natural birthing options. Not necessarily home birth, but some middle ground if thats available. I shot you a DM with some more resources

Saw a podcast of Jay Feldman saying that fruit till noon and overall strict macros separation is stressing and due to the harm cause to thyroid people will likely gain back all the fat lost with honey diet/ fruit till noon approaches, he also back it all with science: https://youtu.be/3zrV7XQBr9Y?si=ymU2Ksy2ui4IsOuS

What are your thoughts on it?

He's specifically looking at FGF-21 and protein restriction, neither of which are the intention of Fruit Till noon.

The honey diet is much more likely to induce a weight rebound than fruit till noon. I find the shredmaxxing protocol to continue to produce benefits even after cycling off the cycle due to the improvements in metabolic efficiency

Should I take up tennis or BJJ?

Or if I do both, which should I start on RIGHT NOW and which should I delay?

(As a physically fit thirty-something with no prior experience with either sport)

(Please be as arbitrary in your reasoning as you like)

Noah Ryan's avatar

BJJ teaches more lessons

BJJ provides more utility

BJJ encompasses an entire lifestyle

BJJ satisfies innate human objectives (fight, camaraderie, compete)

BJJ takes advantage of your prime (harder to start when older)

Tennis can wait, BJJ can't

Just my thoughts

I’ve had dandruff on the front part of my scalp where I used to hair product a lot. I’ve switched to non toxic stuff and a silicone scalp scrubber a few months ago but haven’t been able to get this dandruff and scalp irritation to go away. For reference I’ve had hashimotos since I was 15 (28 now). Thanks!

Noah - what's the best recipe for something to drink in the AM to bust biofilms in your gut? Have been taking some antimicrobials like berberine, oregano oil, and garlic to help with some gut reset, but think that a biofilm buster would be helpful to add.

Any insights on female hair loss?

My gf is from Costa Rica and she has been living in the states with me for about a month. We have a basic shower filter and she eats top tier foods like me ( other than occasional junk), she is noticing more hair shedding since she has been here.

Any ideas for women? Ordered some rosemary oil and is going to get on biotin.

I was curious if that Loxstar stuff is unisex or just for men?

Noah, Do you have any favorite articles, websites, learning tools etc. that you gravitate to when you're avoiding dopaminergic activities (social media, brain rot stuff) but need to scratch that itch?
