Hello All,
I recently saw an alternative doctor. He did tests like a hormone test. He said my thyroid t4 and t3 were good but my TSH was odd. He said I had the second lowest Vitamin D level he had ever seen and the lowest B6 he had ever seen.
He has prescribed essentially a paleo diet and yet is okay with rice and dairy for me as well.
I am to cut out gluten and sugar and stay away from things with yeast like beer or bread made using yeast because of a food intolerance test I took which I have heard are a waste of money but I figured I would do it anyway.
I have chronic constipation. I use milk of mag and laxatives every day. My diet is crap.
This doc wants me to take fish oil (not Ray Peat approved, correct?) and to cut sugar (and yet Peat is okay with white sugar as a supplement, correct?)
This doc is worried about my slight anemia and yet isn't Peat more concerned about iron overload?
I am thinking I would rather forget this guy's advice of taking Vit D, fish oil, a multi-vit, and gingseng for adrenals and instead do a parasite cleanse and then also do raw carrot, gelatin, coconut oil, and other Peat things.
I am confused and want to just give up.
I mean the fish oil although not Peat approved because of PUFA would probably still be better than the SAD diet I am on currently.
So, low D and B6 and chronic gut issues.
Do I listen to my alternative doc or go my own path?
Thanks to all.
Take care.
