Cholesterol Update after Increasing the Dose of Berberine, February 2017

Posted on May 8, 2017June 11, 2017 by BJJ Caveman

Remember how I said that I was planning to shorten the period between blood tests to around 2 weeks to make it easier to adhere to whatever experiment I was working on because whenever I aimed for a full 30 days life managed to get in the way?

Well life got in the way this time too. I had a family emergency that required immediate travel out of the country which threw a wrench in whatever blood tests I had planned.

Despite having to book last minute tickets and arrange for last minute visa’s… a small part of my brain was still keeping track of my cholesterol experiment.… Read More

This Infographic Breaks Down Low Testosterone

Posted on May 1, 2017April 16, 2017 by BJJ Caveman

[Philip, The BJJ Caveman here, this is a guest post from Mo Saleem, founder of TripleYourT.com, a site dedicated to natural ways of improving low testosterone. He created a wonderful infographic on low testosterone and asked if I would be willing to share it here. I took a look at it and thought he did a fantastic job so I said of course.

Since testosterone is something I’ve been interested in myself and have tinkered with in the past I know that having some thing like this around would’ve been helpful at the time. … Read More

Review: Theravent Snore Therapy Strips

Posted on April 17, 2017April 16, 2017 by BJJ Caveman

I’m not entirely sure what’s happening with my snoring. It’s either getting worse or the BJJ Cavewife is getting more sensitive. Our solution of running the air purifier on the MAX setting to provide enough white noise to drown out my snoring is not enough anymore.

Somehow my snoring can now pierce through all of that white noise and stab the BJJ Cavewife’s eardrums, waking her up multiple times a night.

She responds by gently sliding her hand under my back and tenderly balling it up into a fist which in turn wakes me up and forces me to turn onto my back.… Read More

Cholesterol Update with Berberine, January 2017

Posted on April 10, 2017April 16, 2017 by BJJ Caveman

The last time I checked my cholesterol in September 2016 it showed a slight improvement in my LDL-P, LDL-C, and total cholesterol simply by following the Whole 30 diet for 2 weeks. Despite these improvements, my small LDL-P remained elevated at 984 which was concerning.

As you can see with my cholesterol charts, I’ve been living with a high LDL-P for almost 4 years now which is far too long.

When the new year rolled around, I resolved to make 2017 the year that I finally get to the bottom of my cholesterol issues and lay things to rest like I did with my HbA1c.… Read More

My Average Resting Metabolic Rate Calculated By The Breezing

Posted on March 20, 2017May 9, 2017 by BJJ Caveman

A few months ago I picked up the Breezing Metabolism Tracker and was excited by what it could do. If the device worked as expected, it would be an extraordinarily affordable way to measure my metabolic rate. The main costs would be $349.90 for the device itself which can be used indefinitely and $5.00 for each sensor, which are one time use.

After forking out the initial cost, each measurement I wanted to run would only cost me $5.00 for the use of the sensor. In contrast, if I wanted to measure my metabolic rate in a lab it can run anywhere from $50-$100. … Read More
