Review of Kiefer’s T3 Fuel with a Before and After Thyroid Panel

Posted on April 13, 2015January 22, 2016 by BJJ Caveman

I was immediately curious about Kiefer’s thyroid supplement T3 Fuel ever since he announced it this past October. I’ve been dealing with an elevated Reverse T3 for the past couple years and have bounced around the spectrum to having a normal thyroid level to being subclinically hypothyroid.

A Little About My Thyroid

If you’d like to read more about my past, here are some of my previous posts

When I started testing my thyroid levels in depth I was experimenting with nutritional ketosis, Carb Nite (cyclic ketogenic diet), and Carb Back-loading (targeted ketogenic diet), and I noticed a slight inverse correlation between my overall carb intake and my TSH (less carbs = higher TSH).… Read More

Review of Takedown: The DNA of GSP

Posted on April 8, 2015April 8, 2015 by BJJ Caveman

I tried to find reviews of this documentary but couldn’t find much out there so I decided to plunk down the $30 myself to pick it up.

This movie is essentially broken down into two acts with the first being the origin story of GSP.

ACT 1

There are interviews with his mom and dad (although never together, which made me wonder if they’re divorced or separated), interspersed with pictures of him as a kid and even footage of him doing karate. He describes the bullying he experienced and what a proud kid he was despite constantly getting his ass kicked. … Read More

Ketonix Sport Review

Posted on February 23, 2015November 13, 2016 by BJJ Caveman

Introduction

It’s been almost 8 months since I’ve picked up the Ketonix Sport directly from the Ketonix website, and in the interim it seems like the owner, Michel Lundell, has moved over to the Amazon platform. Currently there are two versions available on Amazon:

Ketonix Sport for $124.90
Ketonix Sport with Battery for $144.90

When I first purchased this the additional battery wasn’t available so I can’t really comment on how the battery works.

[UPDATE 5/31/2015:

At this point in time the Ketonix is no longer available on Amazon. … Read More

Misguided Medicine – Book Review

Posted on January 12, 2015November 13, 2016 by BJJ Caveman

I’ve been a long time listener of the Relentless Roger and the Caveman Doctor podcast, and have listened to every single episode. At the time of this writing they’ve put out a whopping 75 total episodes! Unfortunately they’ve been on hiatus for the past couple months, but since this is one of my favorite podcasts I’m on a twitter campaign to get them to start up again!

It was through this podcast that I was first introduced to Dr. Colin Champ who just recently completed training as a radiation oncologist and is now working at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. … Read More

Keto Clarity – Book Review

Posted on November 12, 2014November 13, 2016 by BJJ Caveman

DISCLOSURE: I’ve said this a few times before, but I’ll say it again. While I don’t know him personally, I like Jimmy Moore. He’s been a supporter of my site and has personally answered every single tweet and e-mail I’ve sent him. He was also the inspiration behind my ketogenic n=1 experiments. I pretty much just copied his n=1 nutritional ketosis experiment when I first read about it. If you’ve been following me at all you’ll know that I’m a big fan of ketogenic diets and have experimented with the different variations:

strict ketogenic diet (Nutritional Ketosis)
cyclic ketogenic diet (Carb Nite)
targeted ketogenic diet (Carb Back-Loading)

After all of these experiments, I can say confidently that I’ve learned a lot more about everything ketogenic. … Read More
