Episode notes
Electrolyte Pattern Reveals Hidden Stress
- High calcium + low potassium and high sodium patterns indicate elevated oxidative stress and chronic high-output physiology.
- This pattern often appears in lean, high-performing people who fast, exercise, and push stress systems.
Long-Term Stressors Behind The Lab
- TROY CASEY described long-term stressors including business pressure, black mold exposure, and a traumatic vaccine event around his daughter's birth.
- He reported chronic symptoms similar to fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, Lyme, and chronic fatigue following those events.
Use Targeted Herbs To Lower Cortisol
- Take adaptogens and calming nutrients like ashwagandha, phosphatidylserine, and L-theanine to blunt cortisol and calm the nervous system.
- Use clinical doses (e.g., 400–600 mg ashwagandha) and consider timing at lunch and dinner to switch off adrenal output.
