Overall, I think my body is messed up.

\nNo worries. I hope it works as well for you as it has for me. Nutrition is an endless journey. Starting with Dr Barry Sears in 2004, my goal was to lose 40 pounds. I do reccomend reading Enter The Zone, because I feel if you understand how your endocrine system works, you will be better able to tailor your exercise and nutrition program. Doing the paleo thing would have seemed like a large jump to me, after being brainwashed by the whole low fat, high carb malarkey, had I not read Barrys book.

\nAnyway, 45 pounds later, I have another 5 pounds I really don\'t need, and it\'s going to go, too.\r\n

Hi!

After many hours of internet research, I've come across this forum. I would appreciate any help or direction for my situation. I'm a 31 year old male, and here is my quick rundown.

I still suffer from acne. My face, my chest, my back, and occasionally my head. I feel like this should have went away after high school. You could play connect the dots on my back.

Lack of facial/chest hair. I don't expect to look like Chewbacca, but I can't grow a beard for the life of me. What I do get, is inconsistent patches all over the place. Even that would take three weeks. In comparison, when my brother was in high school, he could shave in the morning and look like Zach Galifianakis by nighttime. I practically have no chest hair. What I do have, is a few strands here and there.

Dry/flaky skin. It's not so much dandruff, but the flaky and dry skin that doesn't seem to go away, no matter what shampoo I use. I also get flakiness on my eyebrows, mustache, and goatee.

Acid reflux. I developed this a few years back. I'm currently on Omeprazole for it. I am trying to ease off of it, but after a couple of weeks it starts to come back, even if I only eat non-acidic foods. I've had the burn seemingly out of nowhere drinking nothing but water all day. I have given up 99.9% of fried food/soda/junk (I seldom take a sip of cola or eat a french fry).

I can't sweat? I've seen people sweat after bending over to pick up a pencil. I could stand out in the hot sun for hours and my body might try to do something about it? I tried taking hot yoga classes awhile back, and even that didn't help. I had to give up due the headaches I got every class.

I do believe in western medicine, and have tried many products out there, but it hasn't helped me. I feel like I should take an eastern approach a long time ago.

What am I doing wrong? Is my diet still that bad? Not enough exercise? Am I better off looking for a local holistic healer/nutritionist? I would appreciate any advice. Thank you in advance.
