Side effects? I've certainly read about some. I also have a fear of the unknown since the long term effects are still pending.
What supplements do you take?

Not a terrible idea. I see a lot of autoimmune people in my circles going gluten free at least with good results.
Fascinating. I've always wondered how my college roommate survived drinking solely Bud Light and Mountain Dew for the 2 years I lived with him. Never saw that guy take a sip of water even one time.Recent studies have shown that the diuretic effects of coffee, tea and soda have been overstated. After a short period of adjustment, your body is able to make use of the water in those beverages and it all helps hydration.

I drink roughly 15 cans of Coke Zero a day and the only water is the 2 oz dixie cup to take my meds. Been that way for years.
I'm not lifting for size or strength any more, but when I was I took a pre-workout supplement called SuperPump Max. It was the most potent pre-workout I've ever taken. It would literally feel like my muscles were about to rip through my skin but I'd have the energy to get through my entire workout with no issues. The side effect? You're in the bathroom between sets because this stuff moves the mail PRONTO.
I love Coke Zero. About the only increased price food item I have had a hard time finding a reasonably priced and equivalent substitute for. I have a relative with a basement stocked with Cherry Coke Zero she hoarded like toilet paper before the prices got jacked.
On the gluten thing, husband’s most obnoxious sister has celiac disease. She used to always nag her sister, who has always been a bit chunky, about why she couldn’t lose weight. When celiac sister was diagnosed and quit eating gluten, she became fat for the first time in her life. She also got more obnoxious. Now if you have a big meal and there is even one single item with gluten, she has an absolute fit. You can’t just get one pie crust on Thanksgiving that is gluten free, every pie has to be, every kind of roll, or she will harp that you are trying to kill her.
From what I remember there are different types of Omega 3s and some absorb much better and actually get you what you need. It's basically the quality of the fish oil.
Is there a more reasonably priced fish oil? I am certain I need to buy a better product than I currently take but spending almost 70 bucks on the pills isn't something I am down with.
This woman sounds truly awful to be around. No gluten on Thanksgiving would me a miserable experience for those who can and do eat it.
I started taking T booster at age 50 when I noticed my energy levels really dropping. Testosterone is one of the engines to maintain energy and metabolism. I buy a cheap over the counter brand/pill and they state to take 4-5 pills per day for muscle gain, etc. I started with low dose (2 pills per day), at 55 I increased to 3 pills and at 60+ I will up to 4 pills. I don't plan to go above 4. I have noticed that it definitely helps.
Research says you lose 1-3% of testosterone per year after age 40 so you are down 20-60% by age 60. I seem to be on the high end of that drop.
This is what I take. Basically $70 on over a 3 month supply which isn't bad
Those over the counter pills don’t really do anything for testosterone. If they did they would be regulated. What he is talking about is prescribed testosterone that can come in a variety of forms and you have to be very careful with it.
That’s false information and I have checked with doctors on that exact thing. It’s usually found because people taking testosterone are being monitored by doctors and it’s caught that way. Unless you are a doctor and an expert in that field. Otherwise doctors will say there is no proof of that
