  • Sodium (Na) Gumbo & Sports Drinks!
    Oct 2 2025

    Key points:

    Sodium is the primary determinant of plasma osmolality (saltiness).

    The kidneys are very precise when dialing in your plasma sodium.

    When Na is abnormal on routine labs, medication lists MUST be investigated, as medications are often the culprit.

    Low sodium and high sodium cause fluctuations in intracellular water, which can be dangerous, especially if Na is <120 mmol/L.

    What should you drink when you get gastroenteritis? (vomiting & diarrhea)

    Water + Salt - this can be obtained in Pedialyte, adding salt to water, eating salty foods with water, or drinking sports drinks (I don't recommend because they have too much sugar and not enough salt). You can also use these: LMNT

  • Hormones & Testosterone: How to Decide on TRT & How I Did.
    May 6 2025

    Free Weight Loss Guide: https://labstories.ck.page/d1a7599ef2

    Hormones function EXACTLY like a good military command structure. In this episode I use a D-day analogy to illustrate hormonal concepts and follow that with an overview of testosterone: how it's produced, what it does, what happens when it's deficient, and how YOU can decide if TRT is right for you.
