Planning Recovery Time
Super short post, but still may be useful to some. I love the “sport” of endurance cardio and lifting weights and what it does to my mind / ADHD control. What I have come to understand is that swimming / steam room aids in muscle recovery (in addition to managing other medication side effects) and I am out of the game without those "recharge time" things... We plan our workouts, but not our recovery? The more we need something in order to function at the most basic level, (which for me is fitness / nutrition / medication), the more we...
Blood Tests to Identify Nutrient Deficiencies
Before figuring out a diet plan, it is important to identify nutrient deficiencies because even if the diet is for fat loss or sports performance, why not optimize its efficiency? I would recommend asking your medical office or walk-in clinic for a requisition and getting blood work done before a major diet change to ensure that the nutrition portion addresses deficiencies, alongside any other treatment plans in place. Nutrition is not necessarily a cure or the cure, but it is an enhancer of health. Your doctor or any GP at a walk-in clinic can interpret the results for you (interpreting...
Synergee Fixed Barbell Product Review
In the middle of a focused lifting session, I am not a fan of changing plates around and dealing with that nonsense.

Medical Update (Juicy Details)
This was too long for a social media post, so blog post it is! I panicked yesterday when I started to feel dizzy/day time somnolence and I didn’t want a repeat of what happened 3 months ago with head zaps. I actually started Strattera a week and a half ago almost, but I did not get side effects until the day before yesterday, which was weird. I gave it another few days and the side effects are waning. Finally my Straterra (ADHD) and Fetzima (anxiety) combo is working almost glitch-free. The ADHD was first diagnosed during Uni, I somehow forgot...
