Cron experiments
I’ve been doing an introduction to Cron for three months now. During the introductory phase the main idea is to stop eating empty calories (low nutrient/high calorie) and start focusing on high nutrient/low calorie food.
I just went to my Drs for a check up.
During those three months I have:
· Lost 5kgs
· Bought my blood pressure back into healthy range
My Dr is really awesome. Quite supportive of me taking control of my own health while still wanting to help me monitor things and make sure I’m not doing anything silly. I think she likes the idea of working towards optimal health rather than just fixing illnesses.
I’m about to go slightly more hardcore with Cron so she has ordered me a bunch of blood tests which we can use as a health baseline. We will repeat again in 3 months time to see how I’m going.
For anyone who is interested in Cron these are the tests I’m getting done.
· Renal – Creatinine
· Renal – Uric Acid
· Renal – Electrolytes
· Lipids – Lipids Fasting
· Thyroid – T.S.H
· Glucose – Hb (HbA 1c)
· Liver/Enzymes – Liver Function
· Renal – Calcium/Phosphate
· Full Blood Count
· Ferritin
I’m looking forward to getting these results back. I did quite a few of them about a year ago when the Dr was trying to find out if my high blood pressure was being caused by another obvious problem. Hopefully the comparison is positive.
I really wish I could be part of this study but since I’m not in the States I’m doing it on my own.
Also, I feel great :-)
