Immune health and steroids
I'm sitting here trying to remember the last time I got sick and for the life of me can't remember. I know for a fact I haven't been sick since I started TRT over a year ago. And I have a 5 year old... It's entirely possible that I've been lucky...but maybe this lifestyle is working optimally for me.
I don't do anything special except train regularly, sleep an average of 8 hours a night, and eat a lot of whole food meals. I eat very little foods out of a package that have a nutrition label on it. Of course I have some snacks I munch on but I'd say 90% of my food comes from fresh whole foods.
I think that's a huge factor coupled with strong gut health. I drink a lot of probiotic drinks like Kefir and Kambucha and I think that helps keep my immune system strong as well. (The majority of your immune system is in the gut.)
I'm far healthier today in terms of how often I get sick and how I feel overall physically and mentally and I don't spend money on any vitamins or supplements and instead just try to eat nutritious foods. Lots of greens.
The only thing I spend money on is a gym membership, PEDs, and FOOD....
If you're biggest expense is NOT food then you're doing something wrong IMO. I used to spend a ton of money on supplements and vitamins and minerals and felt like shit and was getting sick all the time.
Now I just dictate with some regularity which foods that go into my system and why those foods are going into my system and my body does all the work for me. I just keep it juiced to the gills with performance enhancing drugs so I know the anabolic processes are being carried out as efficiently as humanly possible. This past year or so has been one hell of an experiment with highly favorable results. Not just external results but internal as well.
