I'm not a wizard, but I would be careful with putting yourself in a fixed position like you do on a bike with that pelvic obliquity from your anterior tilt.

Never heard of leaky gut is that a real diagnosis from a physician? Also what's the magnesium for? Just curious about both I don't have any actual suggestions. Sorry to hear you're going through a lot

You may have a point on the obliquity.
Standing up, on lets say an alternative like Elliptical or ARC, the orthotics are being stood on, meaning that I am in the proper therapeutic position.
With cycling, not so much.
Once again, at that point it would be about exercising moderation. Im sure I can at least do a little bit of cycling.


Thanks bro. It was like that years ago too. The reason I stopped lifting was bc the food was hurting me and I couldnt recovering.

To answer your question: Leaky gut is recognized by ND's.
On the MD side to support my claims of GI illness, I do have mild to moderate diverticular disease diagnosis.

The magnesium is for general health. Ive read too many places that men are often lacking Mag. Therefore I supplement with it. The bottle recommends 3 capsules a day, but I only bother with one (500mg), which already hits 125% of the RDA. Im sure I fill the rest of my needs with my diet.

I probably spend the most time of anyone I have seen at the gym when it comes to stretching, usually stretching the following after my workouts:
Lower back, Hips, Groin, Hamstrings, Quads, Calves, Triceps, Shoulders, Chest/bis.
*More attention on hips and legs though.

I am waiting to consult a Naturopath regarding the Leaky Gut problems.
I had consulted a podiatrist for the leg length and medial shin splint issue, and I am now wearing custom orthotics in the hopes that it will resolve the foot imbalances and pelvic tilt that is causing my troubles.

I look forward to hearing suggestions. One may say holy sh- at the listing of chronic issues that I have...
As AF_Bear (lolheisthefuckingmannnnn) tells me IRL: "Chris, you're like a walking ball of disaster and chronic illness."
--Can't deny that. Such an uphill battle.
I hope to get back to competing against myself and enjoying running.
I'd say my current VO2MAX is about 35.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement, FLegend.

Mornings prove difficult for me symptomatically with my chronic illnesses.
I am in a highly toxic state during the first couple of hours upon awaking...


I'm going to consult the Runners World forum for better tips as far as optimal plans for a runner hitting resistance, cardio and flexibility.
