Hashimoto's and Complex Metabolic Cases

And it can be for very small population Like I deal with women with Hashimoto's and some of them, they have Hashimoto's, they might have some type of subclinical hypothyroid issue, which most of that's just lifestyle anyway. So it's, if you look at, you know, things like type two diabetes and metabolic syndrome, a lot of that's lifestyle stuff and being um slightly hypothyroid can be part of that as well it can in my experience it can be separate from that or it will line up really well with being insulin resistant metabolic flu resistant all that but all of that stuff that that's just uh basically a mental game and it's all lifestyle stuff uh Hashimoto's a bit of a different deal because you can have a your metabolism could be crushed 15 to 40 percent if you got Hashimoto's especially if your antibodies are really high and you know you're like in the throes of this uh of this disease and sometimes they have to eat far less than they want to and they have to they have to train far less than they want to um because they just don't have the the thyroid to um or the environment to recover from training so we've got people that come from crossfit and they just want to train all the time but they also want to lose 20 30 kilos like well you know here's the thing you're probably going to have to eat way lower than you think you need to. And we just don't have the currency on board to pay some of this back and repair your body. So you're just going to have to accept the fact that you're going to have to get in, get out and put, put the training aspect to the side, not, well, I shouldn't say training, put the training volume in your desire to train a lot, put that to the side, let's get the weight off. That will help with your Hashimoto's. And then we can start raising your calories back up and we can start raising the training with it now that you can actually recover and you're not fucking full of systemic inflammation and all the other things that are going to crush the ability to get glucose where it's supposed to be and the ability for your thyroid to do what it's supposed to do um just completely lost my train of thought on that but we're talking about how it's really not that hard and there's a small percentage of people Right. My, my, my Vyvanse should kick in here in a minute, but for most, for most of our clients, it's just a wants versus needs issue. Like they, they want to get lean. They like the idea of getting there, but they don't need it. And if you don't need it, you're less likely to do it because your motivation to get there isn't high enough. Dave, Dave Shetler, we were on one of his posts. Dave is one of my best friends. And he made a video yesterday. It's like, you know, if, if I, you won't tell me you want to get abs and you want to get lean, but then you can't actually do it. What's the problem? Like, and then you say, well, I don't want it bad enough. Well, that's probably it. You don't want it bad enough. But if I could wave a magic wand and go, boom, now you have abs, would you accept that? And most guys, at least most guys and some women would be like, yeah, okay, well, we can go boom like that. It's just going to take you maybe four months, maybe six months. It might even take you two years, but you can do it, but you have to not want it. You have to need it. And I was going to post this on there, but I didn't. People say the abs won't make you happy. And I agree with that. They won't necessarily make you happy, but they sure as fuck won't make you unhappy. I'll tell you that. Yeah. And I said, when I have abs, It makes Luke happy because then I'm not a pain in the ass and I'm happy. So I don't, you know, I'm not, I'm just happy now. We can, I'm happy now we can get you to 63 to 65 kilos and you're not losing your fucking mind. We only had one tiny psychotic break. And then you were like, oh, the next day I dropped a kilo and a half. Oh, it's just water. He's been telling me that for two years. And then you go in the gym and you fucking PR close to a 300 pound deadlift. your what 25 pounds should i have a 300 pound back squat which makes me makes me realize you're you're slacking on your deadlifts because that shouldn't happen yeah yeah you should easily have it you should easily at 275 back squat you should easily have at least 303 probably 315 deadlift so we have to work on that deadlift but like the coolest part about that is like gaining weight and being okay that's the best because it's the best is when you're like i look at your check-in pics I'm like, she's fucking jacked. And you're like, oh, I made the mistake of watching this video. And when I bend over, my stomach goes over the side of my pants. I'm like, that happened. You could be 3% body fat and you're going to have a roll that's skin going over your fucking shorts. Don't look at that. And then you pick up the bar and your abs look like big fucking beef ravioli. Then remind me of Chef Boyardee, beef ravioli, right? But I think people need to figure out if you really want to get lean and you want to change things, you're going to have to make a difference.

some, you're going to have to make some choices. You're going to have to sacrifice some things. You might have to give up booze for a little bit of time or significantly reduce that.
