Question of the week
Q: What are some common symptoms of hypothyroidism? - David
A: A few very common symptoms of hypothyroidism include low stomach acid, slow transit time, low androgens, thinning of the outside of your eyebrows, feeling cold, getting hot flushes, having cold extremities, and having low body temperature.
Low thyroid hormones slow everything down in the body. This results in slower healing, slower digestion, slower transit time, slower cognition...you get the idea.

Fun fact
The amino acid ornithine is very effective at lowering ammonia and cortisol. This (lower ammonia) helps to make you feel mentally more alert, reduces frustration and anger, and increases happiness (due to lower cortisol).
A minimum dose of 500mg is effective enough to have this effect, but higher doses are also effective.
Hack of the week
If you're having trouble falling asleep, try this stack right before bed:
- 500mg aspirin
- 5g taurine
- 1.5g GABA
- 200mg magnesium threonate
Works great every time and I have to say that aspirin is the key ingredient here.
New pre-workout I'm trying out
Neuro-Drive Compound 6, by Evolve Nutrition. (you can check the label here)
I was drawn to this because I was researching Zynamite (60% mangiferin extract from mango leaf) and was looking for a product that contained it. Surprisingly (or perhaps not), I couldn't find any product here in South Africa that contains only Zynamite, but once I saw this product, I was immediately interested in trying it out.
The effects I got so far are improved exercise endurance, more strength (heavy weight felt easier), and a great kind of clean mental stimulation.
I got the fruit cocktail flavor and it tastes freaking amazing. Check out my post on Instagram.
New article released this week
If you enjoy reading my articles and find them informative, please don't forget to share this content with others so that they can benefit from the information as well.
Restart the gut course intro video
The introduction video for version 2 of the nutrition course is finally done so be sure to check that out here and also be sure to read the short page at the bottom of the video to get a clearer idea of what's what.
The intro video will inform you why focusing on the gut to restore health is essential and cannot be overlooked.
