My dear chap - Thyroid and Progesterone. I have Hashimotos. Dr Ray Peat explains that as we age, our mitochondria are hindered by seed oils due to oxidisation , which are the engine rooms of oxygen use within the cells. The GP will test your thyroid, probably only T4 and TSH. You need to understand T3 and Thyroid Antibodies TpoAb etc. I had to fix myself because these fuckers are useless. My brother has sleep Apnoea, has hashimotos and has for year, misdiagnosis sees him carry a bag of pills around. He is a bit of a unit.
Just sharing some thoughts which come to mind now and which you can do something with only if it resonates with you otherwise just discard after reading. I went on a short Miami trip a couple of times with three other friends, one was slender by design, one was more broad shoulder slim hip by design, I was the guitar by design. The slender one was hungry and eating the whole day, the other one was not hungry the whole day and ate normal portions, I was always on guard steering clear of all the bad stuff food wise. We were all active in general. So yes, t'is hormonal your whole life and as you age, we all age differently. In the Northern part of the world I'd say use the Sauna more than a handful of times in winter, it is great for jump starting the body's innate abilities to do what they are designed to do. And add, daily, something very bitter to your routine, a dried powder herbal bitter teaspoon full or a bitter drink, we used to be more in balance with what we take in as far as : sour, sweet, bitter and astringent goes. The mix is important. Radiation sucks and does not help digestion neither does sitting too much, we were not designed to sit the whole day. Daylight, sun, real salt, every day is really good for you. I'm going to guess you've already researched Viktor Schauberger and The Fourth Phase of Water, Masaru Emoto's info and that your water is of high quality. Your doc is smart in laughing at you and that things change again. I read somewhere that our eyes kind of 'deteriorate' adjust after 50 but that it evens out again after 60 so if you can avoid the reading glasses you might just be able to not need any again. The med establishment knows that tissue changes over time, hence women are called into the office for a breast radiation exam, for free ofcourse, from 50 to 60, is this where they get their customers for 'breast cancer'? Just asking, after 60 they ditch their 'free' offer and your breasts are mostly left alone, nice! Men are scared into believing their prostate might attack them during their lifetime, apparently it is quite normal for the organ to change over time, maybe even become a bit bigger without needign to be a health issue. Every normal thing throught life is called a dis-ease in need of checking and for every check, they get a check and the patient, often, another treatment. Now you are called in to get your intestines checked on the inside from 55 onwards, for free ofcourse, how nice. Is this the way to generate customers for treatmetns? Just asking. Nuff said, I wish you a lovely day, oh last but not least our emotions play a gigantic role in our body deciding if we hold on to padding for safety or ditch it, so scan the emotional field as well, Grüß Gott.
Great advice many thanks.... yes, the internal review threw up an issue and I had 10cm of colon chopped out. I sometimes wonder if actually it wasn't this that started the weight gain.......
Dear G Michael Vasey, thank you for that tadbit of info, it is crucial to 'get' that our ancestors did not just go about dabbing into the intestines, it is a tube from mouth to end and otherwise closed for a God's design reason. Exceptions are always possible and good surgeons/mechanics are worth their weigth in gold but generally speaking we have to not 'invade' our own system with sharp metal objects to just 'check' and create little wounds inside, cysts and polyps do not have to be a problem and as we age, just like trees, we might get a bit of a different tissue growth here or there, trees get what they call tree cancer, a bulge on the outside and they live well into old age with it. So all this invasive stuff is generally speaking, again there are true health exceptions and necessary treatments as well but only sometimes, not the way to deal with discomfort. The colon is long enough for 10 cm to not have to be an issue, and I'm happy to hear that all went well otherwise you would not be here, Grüß Gott!
Wow.20kg is a hell of a lot to lose!You look tall with a viking sort of physique...from what I've seen of you...Age hormones definitely sound to be the most likely culprit, but too many sweet things aren't good.As you know a balanced diet of a bif of everything, un processed, is the best.I am also middle aged(55yrs) and can no longer get back to the weight I was before I was 45yrs.I can't shift 4kg I want to even on healthy foods and plenty of exercise
I lost 20kg with a mix of Keto and then one meal a day carnivore, my husband also shed 20kg and he didn't think he was fat just a bit of extra round he middle. We still do eat dirty carnivore with cream butter & cheese. We have always eaten sensibly and as you say the weight crept on. With the lack of good stuff in western diets we also add in Probiotics (Bravo) as you need a good gut bacteria that isn't a sugar addict, lugols iodine 5 days a week and Fulvic minerals. to deal with prostate/thyroid type of issues before they are "there" I also joined a health online group as the Drs tried to tell me I had lung cancer, I had pneumonia but hey why not up the fear level. A year on I am still with Jeremy Ayres and Naturally better as the people are lovely, genuinely interested in helping each other and supportive when you feel like nothing is improving it isn't a weight loss group but it is just such a good thing for your health to "lighten up" To the Hills, I agree we have lots of people with thyroid issues in the group, the General Poisioners do not test for something they don't have a pill for and if it gives you a label and a chance of the effects making you more of a customer well, its economics isn't it!?

I quite like the viking comment thank you! I can carry quite a bit of weight but I feel it and I do now have an obvious belly.... I hate it.
