First thanks for the kind words, to try t...Hey Tim,<br />First thanks for the kind words, to try to answer your questions<br />Blood isn't the only indicator (my lactate test was also an indicator, along with the fact that taking 2+ weeks off did not result in a positive change in how I felt) but some things I think can be indicators in blood work include <br />- hormone levels (Testosterone and Thyroid looking "bad" can be symptoms of a lot of stress on the CNS.) <br />- Vitamin D<br />- Magnesium<br />- Iron (and Ferritin) <br />- Insulin<br /><br />Again, that's not an exhaustive list and many/most of those can have other causes (or cause some of the other as well) but a test that covers those should be comprehensive enough to give you a good idea what's going on in your body.<br /><br />As far as diet goes, nothing terribly revealing. I cut a lot of sugar from my diet (some training days I was closing in on 100g or more, some of which was from healthy fruit and some of which was from... less healthy options) and replaced a lot of it with healthy fats and more fiber... no "crazy" eating plans. I also began making all of my own training nutrition. (Feedzone cookbook was a great help) so I could micromanage all of what I was putting in my body.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />ChrisChristopher Morelockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491785610585603214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152718394367156819.post-26227894633475635892015-11-18T11:31:09.041-05:002015-11-18T11:31:09.041-05:00Thanks for your story! Very interesting to see you...Thanks for your story! Very interesting to see your experience. What I was wondering, what did they see from your blood values to find you have OTS? And what changes in diet did you do?<br /><br />Keep up the good work, you still have plenty of potential for great results!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13833053691004765422noreply@blogger.com
