I add K citrate, Redmonds, Iodine & titrate 10g glucose per hour. I’m obviously no carb in general so I’m relying on a maximum Z2 efficiency which I’m seeing cyclical improvements recently. Love the podcasts

I relax in the sauna and steambath after a workout and eat a couple of dates. Then eat a high quality protein high meal maybe including sardines in olive oil. "What! Me worry. " 🏊🏋‍♂️🦊
