red light sauna therapy is usually different to red light therapy. Most sauna products emit mid- and far-infrared (which is what infrared saunas utilize). Those spectra of light have completely different health benefits compared to the red and near-infrared spectra that red light therapy utilizes to reduce inflammation, improve circulation and optimize the health of mitochondria.
Hope that makes sense.

I’d love to take a look at your labs. Would you be comfortable sharing your results here so we can take a look at them and help you troubleshoot?
You can crop out any identifying information and change your profile name to an alias for confidentiality if you prefer. Here’s a video I did to show you how to do that: https://bb.genesisengine.io/forums/discussion/2991591
I can also suggest that I review your case live on our next case study call in March if you’d be interested in that opportunity. (January is already booked)
My hunch from everything you’ve shared so far is parasites and possibly yeast overgrowth. They often go hand-in-hand.
Have you ever done a parasite cleanse?

glad to hear you’re enjoying the book. This type of discussion is great in the “general discussions” or “general tips” spaces.
I’ve messaged Dr G asking for the best email address and will revert back.

here is the product’s dosage instructions: https://www.mossnutrition.com/product/igg-globulin-select-75-g-m156/
1 scoop per day mixed with water or beverage of choice, or as directed by your healthcare professional.
It can be taken with or without food, and just enough water to be mixed. If taken with food, minimize the amount of water. If taken away from food, you can increase the amount of water. See what works best for you.

loving this series! Thank you for sharing.

same – if total T4 and total T3 can be measured as well, this would help complete the picture.

if you go back to the video on potassium, I share the functional ranges to be aiming for in potassium, sodium, and chloride on the slide itself.
In Dubai, I can recommend Dr. Alessandro at DISC in JLT. He’s great.

I just added a “food poisoning relief” protocol in the Resources section of your library. This may help them with the vomiting (activated charcoal, hydration, and a broad spectrum formula that tackles a wide range of “bugs”).
I would also add to that systemic immune support which you can find the protocol to that in my guide here which is also located in Protocols.
Hope this helps! Keep us posted.

this field is so new that it’s hard to measure clinical reliability between the different tests. I personally do not have experience with any of them so can’t make a recommendation, but I did research the practitioner forums I belong to and found that Evy and BiomeFX were mentioned options.
If you do end up getting a test, please keep us posted with your thoughts about the test/results, etc. We’d love to learn from your experience just as much as you learn from us.
Perhaps has some experience with these tests?

Can you please find out if they’ve tried the Epley maneuver before to see if that helps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SLm76jQg3g&feature=youtu.be
If it happened after an ear infection, it could be due to an imbalance in the ears. If the Epley maneuver doesn’t help however, we can look at other root cause reasons. Please let me know.

I give my kids approximately half the adult dose which I’ve shared in the new “Protocols” section here.
I don’t take or give them to my kids preventatively; only once I feel an illness coming on.
If a cough has developed, I make the flaxseed cough remedy (also in Protocols here).
Hope he feels better soon and safe travels!

the result you shared shows HbA1c, post-prandial glucose, and fasting glucose. I’m asking about the post-prandial marker. Did they take blood at 2 different intervals/times?
A fasting glucose above 90mg/dl “could” point to insulin resistance. Hence why I’m asking for a fasting insulin result if you have it. Fasting glucose alone can be skewed by stress/cortisol.

there is ‘slight’ sluggishness in thyroid function. Both Free T4 and Free T3 could be slightly higher – especially if you’re symptomatic. Remember, what’s happening intracellularly cannot be measured in the blood. But what is of note here however, and what is likely contributing to your hypothyroid symptom is the higher Reverse T3.
And this is the perfect example of why testing reverse T3 is so important. If it wasn’t measured, like you said, we’d think that thyroid is working well. And it likely is, except that your body is choosing to de-activate your T3 thyroid hormone into the inactive reverse T3.
What causes higher rT3? Usually some sort of inflammation/infection and stress. Has your CRP been checked? Cortisol levels? Watch this video for more examples of causes for higher rT3.
Inflammation (and increased CRP) reduces intracellular T3, but not serum T3. So labwork may show optimal levels of thyroid hormones, and yet someone will still present with thyroid symptoms. Does that make sense?

MCV seems to be ok here. Is it consistent with previous test results? In functional medicine, we don’t really focus on 1 marker but rather a set of patterns and trends over time.
With regards to sodium and potassium, you can see that your potassium is at the higher end of the clinical reference range and sodium is at the lower end of the “functional” range. Do you crave salt? Are you supplementing with potassium? If not, then this pattern could point to parasympathetic dominance which can happen over time when stress becomes chronic. And keep in mind that “stress” can be physical, biological or emotional. Would you agree this is the case for you?
You can watch this video here in the Mineral Balance course where I explain the different dynamics between potassium, sodium, and chloride.
Was your cortisol level ever measured?
