Just frustrated, numbers look perfect but I feel cruddy physically.

-Just ruled out Sleep Apnea, although I have pretty bad Restless Leg Syndrome
-Thyroid seems okay
-My cholesterol seems to be pretty low as well without meds.
-Had a mri done 2 years back showing a fatty liver but never followed up.

Okay, tell me about your diet and supplement usage.

I recommend 10mg/kg of a good magnesium supplement for the restless legs. Should help you out with that.

10K vit D3
30Mg zinc

Diet i don`t eat red meat
Usually eggs, fruit, salmon, rice basically.
 
IMT's website administrator swears by the juicer, I try but I am not constant :) every morning, a lot of my friends have success with it :dance2:

It is possible your iron is the issue, more Vitamin C might work better.

Just my 2 cents
