Joey Atlas,

I drink the 8 glasses of water because that's what I've heard, but some days I am actually thirsty enough to drink that much. I do use organic seasonings and oils like olive oil and coconut oil for cooking. My seasonings include Himalayan sea salt, turmeric, cayenne, coriander, garlic, paprika, chili pepper, and ginger – anything I find works well without causing bloating.

I would be eliminating the collagen as you suggested.

Do you think  adding a green food supplement due to the fact that I don't eat enough vegetables or a multivitamin is necessary?

My blood work is great.   I don't want to take any unnecessary supplements.

Do you have any suggestions on knee compression  to relieve pain while I do the excessive.? My right knee has a little pain on the left side .

I am very excited about this program . I can't wait to see the results . Already see the difference in strength compared to the first day I started. Love it . Thank you for caring about Midlife .🙂
