Hello I'm new here I'm part way through reading Kate Deerings book .
I'm male 47 years old train bjj 3 to 4 times a week.
I suffer from painful joints have trouble getting deep restful sleep I usually wake twice a night for a toilet visit, I am quite an anxious person, have stomach issues when I eat sugar.
So far I have cut out gluten and as much refined sugar as possible for now although I do eat a small amount of high quality chocolate daily (high cocoa 75% and up) . I'm including more coconut oil in my diet may drink a san pelgrino can a day (lemon one has less additives ) am having a carrot salad a day. Am shopping for better quality meats when possible however it is not always possible should I avoid regular supermarkets meat if I cannot get grass fed. Also including 4 scoops of great lakes collagen a day however I may have to change brand as its expensive
Took my morning temperature this morning using a geratherm and had a reading of 97.4 after 5 min under my arm pit..
Are there any blood tests I should get done, I'm in UK and Dr's not very good here so was thinking of some of these test at home postal kits.
Also anything that stands out in my observations symptoms I need to include more calorie dense foods but am lacking ideas as I'm avoiding gluten.
