Hey Hilly, I hope you are feeling better today!

I was searching the site for info on L-Glutamine and digestion. I saw on a previous post you recommended taking it every morning on an empty stomach and noticed significant improvement. Is this something you still do yourself and recommend to clients? Thank you!

Please may you briefly touch on the hydration product you mentioned on insta that is coming soon (ingredients etc) and anything else new and exciting supp/business related that is ok to share? Thank you!

Hopefully this article with studies referenced helps. It breaks down different dosages and their impact on hair loss, DHT levels etc:

No not really but yes as an indirect
Main causes
Lack of electrolytes/hydration
High estrogen
Poor insulin sensitivity / you’re getting fat
People who have more adipose tissue often have lower SHGB and higher estrogen – think is this you?

Why does high estro cause lack of pump? Is this more common than no pump with low estro or does that do the same? Thank you

Medicare is VERY popular and I notice it right away.

How many IUs do you use? What do you notice?

There’s no need to overthink this. Just make sure you hit your water intake throughout the day, salt your meals and eat a nutrient dense diet. If you sweat a lot during training or in hot weather you can increase your intake and use products with added electrolytes in your intra workout drink. Sustain and Performance fuel contain electrolytes and the Pumpage pre workout has Himalayan pink salt added.

If you train first thing in the morning, I think consciously making sure you’re well hydrated before working out becomes more important, but if you train at other times of the day, your daily routine should be enough to ensure you’re hydrated enough.

Thank you – I do train first thing in the morning and like Adam also mentioned, I don’t like pounding down loads of water pre session so looking for the optimal way to hydrate without having to do that![/quote]

I would get a litre of water in with added electrolytes within 30 mins of waking. Salt your pre workout meal and use an intra workout drink. MPS MAX/EAAs mixed with Sustain/Performance Fuel in at least 1-1.5 litres water sipped across your session.

Thank you very much, Clare.

my fav thread on this site.
wanted to ask , having 2 meals a day, is their a reason why you choose to do that vs spreading your macros across more meals, or is it more so just convenience?

Read pages 73 & 74 of your ‘fav thread’

High estrogen impairs bile flow and causes heart burn etc, which is why we often see much better digestion when it’s lower

Interesting insight, thank you

Sorry to come back to this again. So when you were doing the 250 test with AI phase previously, were you just ad hoc dosing the Aromasin as and when you internally felt necessary rather then a set amount per week etc? Is this the same method you are employing with the new estro supp too? Thank you

[M]

Yes, based on resistance profile of the two pieces, but lots of other things come into it (enjoyment, personal connection with exercises etc)

[M]

That’s a shame, but as you say that’s their loss and your gain! Keep us updated with the process timeline as you move along it, please. Thank you.

Awesome to read regarding releasing 3rd party testing results. Hopefully this will push the rest of the industry to follow suit too.

On the body gradually getting more supple, are you having any sports massage treatments done or doing mobility/stretching work yourself?

[M]

I use literally all of the health supps still and join in also, I just have my first dose of them at 2pm when I eat and then again 10pm for second meal. I also have mps max after training , it’s just gone live now and I have creatine and glutamine in with my mps max .

I don’t use whey anymore , just no need for me as I eat my protein . If I’m hungry, I use the vegan protein as a pudding as it’s the best fucking tasting thing ever , 100g of that mixed up like Angel delight style consistency is just the one !

I also use another anti e supp that comes out next month , and I use our pre workout capsule that decided to tweak a little – this should be out next month 🙂

Thanks. Have you done bloods pre and post using the anti-estro supp? That sounds very interesting

Will you be getting any bloods done soon in general and exploring the other cardiac screens etc that you had mentioned previously, or continue in this phase a bit longer and then assess? Would be really cool to see you track ‘progress’ on the health aspect with metrics to show what’s possible with sensible choices like yours, if made early enough.
