What is the Analytical Tortoise about?

The Analytical Tortoise is about thinking differently, challenging the conventional way of doing things and finding an alternative path that is based in science and observations.

"Discover alternative ways to accomplish the same goals".

It is important to understand the rules.  Why they work and why they don't and knowing which ones are not actually rules.  Once you understand that some beliefs can be bent, broken or ignored, you realize that there are other ways to get at the same goal.

I reference a lot of other peoples content, I have done the research and this is what makes sense to me.  You can see where I am coming from.

I love to hear different view, please leave me a comment.

Why the Analytical Tortoise?

Analytical embraces that I want to understand.  The Tortoise is a reference to the fable that teaches slow and steady wins the race.

I went through a lot of self discovery before I developed a dietary protocol to treat my thyroid condition.  To be more specific, my thyroid and adrenal condition.  Of course, like most people, I added things to my lifestyle before I decided to subtract.  How could what I have been taught my entire life be wrong.  Well, through a lot of research I found that the fundamental beliefs that I had were entirely wrong. What were my symptoms Enlarged Neck Constipation Hemorrhoids Weight Gain Coughing Difficulty Breathing Tight Muscles Legs loosing hair and looking unhealt...

1.2 Bone Broth and Fermented Foods

1.2 Bone Broth and Fermented Foods I was watching PBS one morning and a Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Kelly Anne , was talking about immune disease and she basically disguised a eating plan as a weight loss strategy that can treat immune disorders . She talked about a 21 day protocol to reboot your gut and develop the conditions where healthy gut bacteria could thrive.  I modified her program to fit my lifestyle, what I took away from her program was that you should: Eat an animal protein at every meal Consume bone broth once a day Consume a fermented food once a day She also said to remove grains from your diet as there is no daily allowance of grains that your body actually needs.  I did not quite catch this point the first time through. I started making my own bone broth , it is really simple. Take a handful of bones, beef, fish, turkey, chicken, whatever, put in a slow cooker Add two teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar Add vegetables, perha...
