You have a great smile. You look better than 95% of the 66 year olds I know; you could look even younger with a few changes.

Long grey hair makes a guy look older. So does facial hair if it's even a little bit long; but if everything else is on point, a thick, but not bushy, well trimmed moustache like that looks masculine and virile and is a plus for many women.

Your biceps are on the small side for your frame and not defined; mass and definition and strength makes a guy look much younger. Stronglifts 5x5 and running interact synergistically with the metabolic impact of ZC to create a literal 'fountain of youth' of neurotransmitters and hormones:

Crossfit will change the way you carry yourself; it makes a huge difference in the impression of age. They have you do a huge variety of different activities that require you to move in ways that only very young, very active people move. This will improve your posture and movement from head to toe, your natural bodily expression. That's a powerfully attractive nonverbal signal women pick up on in person, and IME is one of the reasons men can meet women about a hundred times more easily in person than using online profiles. Online dating is a sick joke, a waste of time for most men.

You've made a great start; there's a 66 year old stud in there wanting to come out.

Here's the recipe for re-mineralizing tooth powder:

1.) Use a plastic Tupperware container, don't use anything metal to stir or store the powder (bentonite clay can pull things from metal). Square and shallow seems to work best.

2.) 1/4 - 1/2 cup of Bentonite Clay (depending on the size of your container), this is the brand I use.

3.) 3 - 6 capsules of [activated charcoal] (https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Way-Activated-Charcoal-Capsules/dp/B0006LCQ4Q/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1500301931&sr=1-2&keywords=activated%2Bcharcoal&th=1) - great for whitening - can stain grout so be careful when using! Just gently twist the capsule and dump the contents in with the clay.

4.) Clove and/or cinnamon to taste - optional.

5.) Mix ingredients with a plastic spoon or just put the lid on and shake gently!

How to use:

1.) Dip dry or damp toothbrush in coconut oil - I try for a pea sized amount sometimes more.

2.) Dip coconut oil covered brush in tooth powder, just enough to cover, tap your toothbrush on the edge to remove excess.

3.) Brush. I find it works better for me to spread the tooth powder around on my teeth before turning on my electric brush. Again the charcoal can stain grout, towels, etc. so be careful!

If you don't like or have coconut oil you can always just dip a damp toothbrush in the powder and brush with just that!

As for whitening my husband and I both saw a lot of improvement. He's an ex-smoker and it got rid of the tobacco stains on his front teeth after a month or so of twice daily use but YMMV.

That's very interesting. This loss of focus (brain fog) is quite familiar to me. I suspect it's a symptom of brain inflammation and I get it whenever I have eaten something I shouldn't have. Did you notice these mood changes coinciding with your meals or certain foods? From my experience, if you're indeed having reactions, those won't go away if you stick to the diet for a couple of months more. I noticed improvements within days to maybe a week after eliminating certain inflammatory foods (going gluten/grain-free, dairy-free, egg-free, nightshade-free, etc.).

This book helped me a lot understanding the connection between brain health and gut health/nutrition. The author also has a website and stuff on youtube. My knowledge about food sensitivities and stuff mostly comes from doing the paleo autoimmune protocol before going ZC (AIP). It's great for that kind of stuff, but way too high in vegetables/fiber/plant toxins to be a truly healing diet IMO. That's why I went ZC.

You are right. Agriculture based on grass fed ruminants is by far the most sustainable and environmentally benign. I’d highly recommend Defending Beef: The Case for Sustainable Meat Production by Nicolette Hahn Niman. It covers the subject thoroughly, is well written and enjoyable to read.

Use a fan set to reverse on the kitchen window to draw all the smoke outside. This solved the problem for me.

The first window fan I've tried was too weak and broke easily, the second one was more reliable but still too weak, so I eventually settled on a regular box fan like this. The box fan is cheap, powerful, and easy to install and remove.

The downsides are that it is not very practical in cold climates and harsh winters, the fan gets dirty quickly and it's hard to clean.

Another good one Frank. If you do this often, I'd recommend getting one of these fat separators. You could pour the last few cups into this and then pour off the solids cleanly. Thanks for the information as always.

Anyone interested in the relationship of dental health and diet should get a copy of Weston Price's Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. Fascinating read.

/r/meatogains might be better. Stay in ZC ketotic loveliness, and have gym gains. In the keto world Stephen Phinney and Jeff Volek wrote https://www.amazon.co.uk/Art-Science-Low-Carbohydrate-Performance/dp/0983490716. Which may give you an understanding of how your body behaves when exercising heavily, and how to game the system.

I read this book years ago and it opened my eyes to the nutritional deficiencies that can cause alcohol and carb cravings.

As a nutrition coach, I always make sure my clients supplement with Magnesium and get sufficient micronutrients from organ meats.

Is that this? I'm curious to learn more.

Here’s the link to it.

Food scientists have mastered exploiting our dopaminergic reward system with processed foods.

Back when cigarettes were being demonized, Phillip Morris (a leading tobacco company) purchased Kraft and other food companies to repartition profits (and save their asses). These companies combined forces to sell people cheap and addictive convenient processed foods. As families got busier, and their incomes weren't keeping up with inflation, and the stay at home mother was an endangered species, both parents had no choice but to work, and whole food home cooked meals turned into processed convenient foods.

All the while Phillip Morris was branching out into other countries, a western diet imperialism, assailing their cultures and damaging their health getting everyone in the world hooked on processed foods. This was a recipe for worldwide health deterioration as well as a huge influx of profits for the once prominent tobacco company who now had their hands in our foods all over the world. Silent weapons for quiet wars.

The consumption of vegetables and other antinutrient foods over the decades more or less just exacerbated the already malnourished populace.

he's unclear about the book title.. "why statins don't work (or something) and kill you one cell at a time". Doesn't mention the author.
