Inside Tracker part 2

In June I had my blood tested by InsideTracker https://www.insidetracker.com/  Best choice ever. I had high levels of cortisol, liver enzymes were high along with my inflammation group.
I had a lot of work to doI started by following their dietary recommendations of increasing spinach, wheat germ, nuts, peanut butter, wheat germ, whey protein, cocoa, and avocado.







I slowly integrated these into my weekly routine by following InsideTrackers  https://www.insidetracker.com/online recipes and food basket tailored to my needs. Easy to do and it took about 2 weeks, but I started to feel a bit more energy come into my day. In order to reduce my cortisol level it was recommended that I do meditation or yoga daily along with reducing some hard interval workouts.
I added reading nightly for 15 minutes and I reduced screen time as well. I stopped taking Tylenol PM
I added whey protein weekly with CocoaElite https://cocoaelite.com/protein powder and started to feel stronger overall in my workouts.This has paid off in my health.











I retested in late August and all three of my high areas are now optimized, except for liver enzymes.
This, was influenced by working out the morning of my blood draw and that was why it was so high!! Lesson learned!!!!  I still need to work on my inflammation group but definitely will over this fall. 
So happy for Inside Tracker https://www.insidetracker.com/Since incorporating their suggestions I have never slept better. I have PRed in the 20k distance, and have had the best speed workouts to date thus far. Brilliant
