WHAT I’M EATING DAILY TO FUEL MY 7,200KM RUN
Ok – I know many people don’t like taking supplements – but I’m a huge fan after studying nutrition intensely for the past decade and a half. Also, after watching thousands of clients reverse their chronic diseases using food, supplements and detoxification, I see the direct impact that can’t be achieved through food and detoxification alone – especially once a chronic disease has set in.
Below is a list of what I take – regardless of whether I’m training or not, which is very similar to what Matt Frazier from No Meat Athlete also takes https://www.nomeatathlete.com/supplements/, what’s commonly found in pre-natal vitamins, what’s given to farm animals to prevent disease, and what also aligns with the Gerson Therapy -which you all know, is what I teach.
I just had blood work done to test for deficiencies and highs or lows while I’m endurance training and prepping for my run and cycle across Canada next year. Unfortunately, the tests don’t necessarily explain what’s happening in your bones, organs, tissues, etc. and blood results tend to maintain homeostasis making it challenging to truly know your actual health status. But it can point to potentially looming issues down the road.
All my levels are fine despite me increasing my training from 0 hours a week to 13 hours a week. My iron levels - which have always been low my entire life – are the one thing that I’m keeping an eye on. I’ll let you know in another email how I’ll get them to creep up over the next month.
And just a side note, when I was eating meat, my RBC, hemoglobin, and ferritin levels were lower than when I switched on to a plant-based whole-food diet. In fact, most of my meat-eating clients usually present with low iron as well which shows that being a meat eater doesn’t guarantee you’ll have optimal iron, B12 or other nutrient levels. Fortunately – their iron levels creep up as well once they optimize their beautiful microbiomes, heal their absorption issues, detoxify and replace their nutrient deficiencies through food first.
Here’s a list of the supplements I take each day:
B12
Iodine
Potassium
Selenium
Omega 3s
Magnesium
D3
Probiotic (only sometimes)
At night, on an empty stomach:
Iron-rich foods with Vitamin C
When I’m not menstruating:
B3 (flushing Niacin)
