Update. Since I began this journey back in November 13, I’ve hung around 97.8 for the longest time. I’ve slept an average of 10hrs a night, completely stopped exercising, and eaten a more modest standard American diet. Yesterday I hit a milestone. For a period of the afternoon, my temp hit 99.2 and hovered above 98.6. My energy levels are up and I’ve started dropping weight as Matt mentioned. I’m hoping a few more months of low stress and extra sleep will bring my temp up permanently.
For those of you wondering if this works, I would say “yes” it does. The keys are lowering both physical and mental stress, eating well with “lots” of healthy fats while avoiding PUFAs and sleeping as much as possible.
