Received this question through the twitter grapevine: https://twitter.com/secretagnt1/status/975438829174829056 Thanks for the question! To be clear, I rarely PSMF; the last time I did was ~10 years ago before this past January. I'll likely do one again with blood testing later this year to confirm or deny the hunch I have.
