Generally, a 6lb med-ball can be used for a large variety of exercises. Heavier is not necessary better, which is impt to recognize. My favorites were made by Gilman but I don't think they make them anymore.
"There are very few trials examining the effect of dietary calcium intake on serum 25(OH)D response to vitamin D supplementation, and the results are mixed (Table 1). Most dose-response and efficacy trials administer calcium supplements alongside vitamin D supplements to ensure daily calcium...

Anyone have access to the complete pdf? I am interested in the macro-nutrient profile for both groups as well as the exact differential in calories between the groups. This is an important study from the respect that it goes against what is taught to RD's as well as in nutrition classes...
Nice video. On a side note, while I'm not disagreeing with the premise of Jerry's information, the name of the blood test is creatinine, not creatine. Creatinine is a chemical waste product of creatine

Nelson,
The University of Michigan Hospital has blatantly tried to keep my blood results from me on several occasions. They make me jump through hoops upon hoops to gain access to my records so anything that empowers patients (clients), I fully support.
Nelson,
The only thing I'd like to change about this recipe is to find the which of the sweeteners are best as far as minimizing the increase in blood sugar. However, I still want it to taste good enough that people love to use it as a treat. Any suggestions from members would be appreciated.
Nelson,
Are you able to eat Greek yogurt consistently or only in small amounts? I am going to start adding more flaxseed, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and extra virgin coconut oil in more of my drinks and cereals. I think the omega-3 fatty acids will help with my heart, inflammation, and there's...

Nelson,
To be honest, I am unsure how you'd manipulate this recipe if you used a crock-pot. The only part of the recipe that is a hassle is roasting the zucchini in the oven. Also, it would be best to use fresh tomatoes as compared to canned. The expert: Fredrick vom Saal, PhD, an...

GettingAnswers,
Considering the small amount of thyroid you are using, the effects you are feeling seem over-the-top. If nothing else, make sure that you get the appropriate blood-work within 30 days. Regardless, you may want to contact your doctor asap.
Nelson,
The information you presented seems much more useful than simply knowing the serum levels. Billions of dollars are wasted on in-adequate health-care yearly so it would be great to be able to acquire truly useful information so that health-care professionals could develop effective...
Some thyroid medication such as Nature-Throid and Armour (as compared to Synthroid) are more conducive to crushing/chewing since they are softer and have no coating. It will be absorbed faster sublingually (some people claim they need less medication) if you keep it under your tongue for...
Typically, multi-vitamins should not be taken within 2-3 hours of thyroid medication. "Additionally, taking thyroid with a fiber supplement reduces absorption so it should be taken 2-3 hours before taking a fiber supplement or at least 4 hours after taking the supplement." Understanding...
"Our study suggests that decreased carnitine levels may be a novel therapeutic target for uremic men with hemodialysis."The problem that I am seeing with more and more research is that they make a recommendation (or suggestion) based upon serum levels. At first look, it seems appropriate and is...
Thanks for the link, I appreciate you taking the time to send it. I have a deviated septum so the one you are using would not allow enough air-flow. I tried several masks and the only one that worked was the full mask, which does not work well for someone who sleeps on their stomach. But, I am...
Nelson,
Just heard about this device today. I'd be more than glad to give it a try because as someone whom sleeps on my stomach, the CPAP machine was useless since I could not fall asleep on my side or back.
I found the hard way that my endocrinologist, at the University of Michigan was not treating my hypothyroidism properly. Since my values were "within range" she refused to accept the many hypothyroid symptoms that I was exhibiting. Instead, she blamed some of them on my CPAP machine, sleep...
