Vegan and vegetarian diets are incredibly popular—and for good reason. 🌱

Having been a vegetarian myself for years, I know it’s doable, especially since most restaurants now offer plant-based options. But here’s the catch—there are two types of vegetarian diets:

One heavy on ultra-processed vegan meats, bagels, and bread, but low on actual vegetables.

Another rich in legumes, lentils, nuts, seeds, and a wide variety of whole plants.

A well-balanced vegetarian diet can be very healthy, but it often needs extra attention to certain nutrients like vitamin B12, zinc, iron, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids. Supplements can help fill these gaps while you enjoy the benefits of plant-based eating.

If you’ve been struggling with fatigue, brain fog, or poor focus—your blood work might hold the answer. 🧠💉

When it comes to testing, don’t stop at a basic CBC. That only gives part of the story. You also want to check ferritin (your iron storage marker) and a full iron panel—including iron saturation and transferrin.

Here’s why: you can have normal hemoglobin but low ferritin, meaning your iron stores are depleted. This limits oxygen delivery and slows neurotransmitter production, which can lead to fatigue, poor concentration, and that “foggy brain” feeling.

If that sounds familiar, it’s worth asking your practitioner for these additional iron markers to get a clearer picture of your health.

Did you know anabolic steroids can put you at serious risk for gynecomastia? 💪❌

When testosterone drops after a steroid cycle, estrogen can stay high, leading to unwanted changes. And despite the rumors, soy and phytoestrogens aren’t the real culprits—you’d need massive amounts for any effect, and sometimes they’re even helpful! 🌱
