Hey guys. I hope everyone is doing well. Just checking in. It’s been no secret that I’ve been super unreliable with posting content for the past two years. Ive always felt guilty when I go on these long bouts of not posting content at all. I used to see other guys in the business posting so much all the time. It isn’t a lack of wanting to post, but a physiological incapacity. I’ve been struggling with digestive issues for the past four and a half years. I’ve seen tons of doctors and medical personnel. No one was able to help for the longest time. But recently, I finally received a helpful diagnosis; something called Methane-dominant SIBO. So, now that I have this diagnosis, a lot of my symptoms for the past 4-5 years make sense, & I have been trying to get my gut health figured out. It has been a wild ride. Very low valleys and some fun peaks. But point of mentioning this is I feel I owe people who have paid for this subscription service I have set up both an apology and an explanation. I have contemplated deactivating this account until I am healed. I have always convinced myself otherwise. So anyways, here I am. I can still do plenty of things in life, but my body is metabolically shutting down. My gut dysbiosis has caused some systemic failures across my body. It isn’t irreversible. It just requires a step by step approach. I can work out. I don’t get crazy pumps like I used to, but the gym has been a safe space for me every since I started working out in 2016. Plus showing off is still fun.
Anyways, all of this hubbub being said, I want to say that I am working on re-establishing my gut health. All of my time, money, and effort have gone into pushing this steam train forward and reclaiming metabolic health again. I want to be able to eat normal food again without passing out. I want to be able to have energy again. I know it is all doable.
It’s been a fight. I’m getting it done. I’m a studious guy, so learning about all this has been irrevocably fascinating to me. Hopefully it will help me going forward if I ever want to be a dietician or a CPT or something. That’d be fun.
Well I’m rambling.
Point is, I have not lost sight of what I want. Who I want to be. I have a goal. I am fighting to get there.
Ill see you all soon ❤️
