My normal temperature for decades has been 97.7, never 98.6. At 99, pretty much a normal reading, I begin to feel flu like symptoms. I’ve always wondered about this. Hope you can shed some light.
My thoughts are because of all of the dangerous halides in the food supply, chemtrails, pesticides, etc.… It’s because it’s kicking off iodine in the body. Fluoride and bromide are the biggest culprits of hogging the iodine receptors.
Low body temperatures are usually due to low functioning thyroid because there isn’t enough iodine being taken, and the fluoride and bromide are overtaking the iodine receptors
I agree it’s more than thyroid. For menopausal women, we start losing the ability to regulate thermally. We tend to run very cold. My temperature last night was 35.8. I also saw that a lot of research showed that as adults get older, they lose their ability to stay warmer. This also points to the hypothalamus. However, if the hypothalamus is on the fritz due to menopause, what can someone do? Other than take regular baths?
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. I thought that was weird when I've tested lower than normal for so long. Also, I always remembered the song 98.6 when taking my temperature to remember the baseline.
Wow! Looking forward to this. Raised my temperature by over one degree with an online "teenage metabolism" course, but still run between 98.2 - 98.5 degrees. Hope to learn more. BTW, my temperature was about 97 degrees for 30 years and I did not raise it until before my 56th birthday. You can raise yours.
Yes, when is the anticipated date for this documentary? I have hypothyroidism, and have had low body temp for years. Now, I have other health concerns, and I would like to know if low body temp is a contributing factor or if it is a symptom of something else that is the cause/root of my health concerns.
Within a week, video editing is a very time-consuming process.
Episode 1 will be on the decline of our body temperatures worldwide, and the direct implications on disease rates.
Episode 2 will be an in-depth presentation on what’s causing our body temperatures to drop, and the pathologies that are taking place as a result. This will be comprehensive. Your questions will be answered in episode 2.
Episode 3 will be a practical guide to restoring immune function, improving metabolic rate and achieving healthy 98.6°F body temperature.
I look forward to all three episodes! Thanks for doing all the work to present what sounds like the in-depth information and analysis that will lead to improved metabolic health.
Could it be that the methods of taking our temps are more accurate now? I’ve been tested at lower than 98.6 for some time - around 97.7 or so. I fall into the older group and I believe we always test lower. I am interested in the reasons for the change, though.
Thank you Matt. This sounds like a topic that would interest any well-funded agency purporting to be responsible for increasing the state of public health. If only we had one, that would sure come in handy.
Do you have a post introducing yourself and explaining your history or qualifications?
Interesting! I’m a great believer in the value of fever to fight flu- my method is keep the brain cool and let the rest of the body stay hot hot. But a decline in overall normal temp, that’s quite foreboding actually. A lot of germs operate at very narrow temp range… heh. As I’m sure you know.
97.1&,I'm 67 ,always low temped; Mom was 96.1..I actually had an RN once say," that can't be right; you'd be dead!" shaking the thermometer down & mouth dropping open when I told her 97.1. 98.6, was a FEVER for me.Not easy as a kid at school

I’ve spent 12 years researching biology, and 3 years specifically on thermoregulation.
It’s multifactorial, and thyroid problems can be involved, but they aren’t standalone causal.
I can tell you’re passionate about health, like me. You’ll enjoy my docuseries.

You are correct. Fluoride is the worse.
My body has never ever been 98.6. Unless I have a fever.
What happens when your body temperature reaches 98.6°F?
Do you start getting symptoms of acute illness?
I wouldn’t know. My whole life my temperature is about 97. Something
Do you have any chronic health problems of the mind or body?
Even things that some might consider trivial?
Yes. Alot of inflammation, thumb arthritis and brain fog and dont burn body fat

I’ve also figured out how to improve my metabolic function and raise my body temperature to healthy 98.6°F.
The problem for me, is that all of my underlying health issues start becoming acute once I reach healthy body temperature.
And I have motor function problems, so things can get very tricky, very fast.
My temperature has always been 97.2 never thought twice about it
We are all hypothyroid. We need to address our diets and learn from Ray Peat.
It’s much more complex than hypothyroid, you’ll see when my documentary comes out.
When is that?

I’m sure there is more to it but our diet and lifestyle has had a big impact on our metabolism

It is established that the elderly community runs a lower body temperature, it’s always been that way.
Children, teenagers and middle-aged adults having low body temperature is new, and a grave concern.
When I have a hot flash mine feels like it's 200°f
Don’t we age faster with a higher body temperature?
Inflammation ages the body, but it’s also what keeps you healthy.
Low temperature means a suppressed inflammatory response, a clear marker of underlying chronic illness.
What time is this on?
I’m hoping to have episode 1 out at some point on Sunday
Does a young person with low body temp experience a continual feeling of being cold? Are they less able to tolerate a cold ambient temp?
I would say there are a lot of factors that can influence someone’s perception of cold and ability to tolerate lower temperatures.
Thank you Matt. This sounds like a topic that would interest any well-funded agency purporting to be responsible for increasing the state of public health. If only we had one, that would sure come in handy.
Do you have a post introducing yourself and explaining your history or qualifications?
I do, have a scroll through my profile and you’ll see it.
Might see some other posts that interest you as well.
Hope you have a good new year!

Is sauna a helpful countermeasure ?
My question now is what temperature indicates a fever?
Clinically speaking, 99.7°F or higher is considered a fever.
Thank you.
97.1&,I'm 67 ,always low temped; Mom was 96.1..I actually had an RN once say," that can't be right; you'd be dead!" shaking the thermometer down & mouth dropping open when I told her 97.1. 98.6, was a FEVER for me.Not easy as a kid at school
Mine 97.4 ALL MY 76 yrs
I'm 89 and rarely sick. I've always run a low temp
Needs more scary sound effects. I think the audio choices were a bit too subtle.
Editing was great in my opinion …I’ve video editing myself and it’s complicated
lol
Aryans have lower body temperature than Homo Sapiens.
Homo Sapiens are being genocided by Aryans (again).
therefore the average body temperature is decreasing.
Understand
