#berberine

We often talk about the “Master Antioxidants” and “Glucose Disposal Agents” as the holy grail of longevity. But last week, I learned a humbling lesson: A Ferrari doesn’t need a restrictor plate. If you are an athlete with lean body mass and elite-level blood sugar, the very supplements designed to “fix” metabolism can actually break your recovery. Here is the play-by-play of how I accidentally…

I upped my intake from 350mg to 700mg buffered (has some calcium) berberine/evening, and I don't have full body vibration sensations upon going to sleep/waking up that I've come to associate with B vitamin malabsorption and my ligaments don't hurt or fall out of place (zinc absorption)

however

I have more gut pain, like a scraped knee inside my abdomen while digesting

so uh

The difference in my face within the last two months of focusing on my gut and liver health.. :) I’ve noticed an increase in energy, clear skin, my bloat has gone way down, I’m happier. My goal isn’t weight loss anymore 🥲 it’s to heal my body from the inside out! I wouldn’t give all the difference to supplements, but some things I included into my daily regime were:

•Chlorophyll water

•Probiotics

•digestive enzymes

•green superfood powder

•Berberine

•fiber increase

•nutrient dense foods/quality, clean protein

•not skipping meals/depriving myself!!!

•organic milk thistle extract

•keeping up w my water intake

guess: the berberine is affecting gut absorption of vitamins and the bacterial production of neurotransmitters

also: WHAT the fuck that's... how is it doing that??? I know its supposed to kill some bacteria and allow others to thrive but like. that. that is just wild. what EXACTLY is it doing???
