as Daniel mentioned, it’s hard to draw conclusions from older tests however given that not much has changed for you in terms of energy levels, it’s probably safe to assume that your cortisol production is still low.
My clients with flat line levels like this often need glandular support for several months while working through their protocol to help turn the page. Just note however that coming off of it without having done any foundational work (gut healing, digestive support, immune support, emotional work, etc..) will likely cause a rebound effect and make a person feel worse. So it’s to be seen as a band-aid solution by temporarily giving the organ much needed support, but it can often be a lifeline when used appropriately.
I prefer Biotics Research for glandulars but for those who can’t do pork, Thorne has a bovine adrenal cortex supplement as well.

in that case, sometimes I combine 2 different products for my clients. Something for liver/gallbladder like Seeking Health’s Gallbladder Nutrients and a separate enzyme formula.

it sounds wonderful! An elimination diet alone is often enough to help people feel better so I’m sure combining it with a semi-liquid diet to ease the burden of digestion and a mind-body connection will amplify the results. I’m excited for you…
And yes, I would not add in anything else at this stage other than what is recommended in the book for 2 reasons. 1) it will be easier to implement 2) it will remove variables in case your body doesn’t respond well so you can troubleshoot easier.
Please keep us posted with your cleanse journey!

good – start making a list of meals, foods, spices/seasonings/herbs you know you can tolerate and we’ll come up with a meal plan together to help ease the burden of “what to eat” every day.

it’s our pleasure and mission to serve – please help spread the word to friends and family who you feel can benefit as well ❤️

haha, I guess you saw my story today – if you love to read, get the book “The Forever Dog”. I’m currently reading it and plan on switching my dog over to a more whole foods diet instead of kibble. She’s currently on a grain-free kibble diet (Taste of the Wild), but I’m sure I could be doing much better for her. I will for sure share my top tips.
All great topic suggestions and I’ve noted them all down.
By the way, I will be filming and releasing a mold course in February and in April, mold expert (and my teacher) Dr. Jill Crista will be joining us as our guest expert to answer live Q&A’s. So lots more on mold coming up in B Better soon!
And I also have something planned for emotional release with David Manning. It’s going to be a public paid event most likely, but my goal is to give free access to B Better members!
Lots more exciting projects & upgrades for B Better in the pipeline for 2023 too… can’t wait to share.

just wanted to ping you again because I know how life can get in the way… hope your kiddos are doing ok. Did they end up doing the parasite cleanse? Hopefully it was a positive experience and outcome?
-
Hi – just wanted to follow-up with you. How’s it going? Any positive progress made so far? Feel free to share if none at all so we can help.

Hi – hope you enjoyed the holidays. Just wanted to follow-up to see if you got a chance to do any testing or if you have any questions about that.

the ketogenic diet is a high-fat, moderate-protein and very-low-carbohydrate diet. Given your reliance on acid blockers at the moment, I would not recommend this type of diet for you at this stage.
As I had discussed with you on the live case study consultation call, given your many digestive symptoms, do not restrain yourself further by pigeon holing yourself into a popular “diet”. I encouraged you to create your own “Naveed diet” following the VPF + C guidelines, and allow your body to guide you in terms of what foods work, and what foods don’t work for your body and current situation.
Eating more animal-rich protein sources at this stage with low stomach acid will make it very difficult to digest and break down.
What I recommend is that you make a list of meals that you know you can tolerate following the VPF+C principle to ensure you’re getting in all 3 macronutrients. And then take some time to meal plan them into your week ahead so you don’t have the burden of thinking about what to eat every day or every meal.
Happy to assist in the meal planning process if it helps you. But first, make a list of meals you know you can tolerate. Write them down, snap a photo and share them here for further discussion and guidance.

I’ve discussed it in my stories a few times and saved it to my highlights under “Low Tox Living” but we can definitely work on a more concise article for you. Will line one up…
My favorite cookware is 100% pure ceramic by Xtrema. I’ve had my set for over 10 years and they still look brand new. The biggest downside is how fragile they can be. They can crack if dropped or knocked hard. Plus they’re heavy. But they are resilient to heat and cold and do not leach any metals.
If you’re looking for ceramic coated, I prefer GreenPan because it’s PFAS, PFOA, lead and cadmium free. I wouldn’t want titanium metal. Stainless steel 18/10 (which stands for 18% chromium / 10% nickel) is another option to 100% pure ceramic.
What brand did you get?

Hi – I’m not familiar with this cleanse, but did try to read up about it. There seems to be a 7-day and 21-day cleanse program? Is this the one you’re doing? https://www.cleanprogram.com/products/clean7
To answer your first question. Follow your gut instinct… I would recommend the cleanse program first, then the parasite cleanse. It’s always best to do a parasite cleanse when the liver and gallbladder are well supported and you’re pooping like a champ, which should be the case after doing your cleanse program.
To answer your 2nd question. Biofilm breakers can be started 1 week before a cleanse, and carried on for the duration of the cleanse. I also would not want to combine anything else outside of a specific program to remove any unknown variables. Finish your detox program, then move onto the next stage.
Hope that makes sense.

if you can tolerate mint tea, it should be ok.
