Sounds like re-peat. Which is really what most have been doing. Just ray-peating everything he said. Names matter. Literally. It’s part of the key to understanding our reality.

@yeezy both sound good. Experiment!

@HoldenCox I take it sublingual

@hypermensch I had this for many years, it's something that got solved over a long period of time, so it could have to do with a variety of factors, but I woul say the main way to go about relieving it quickly would be lowering endotoxin (DAILY carrot salad, limitation of starch consumption), increasing calcium, and using beneficial things like aspirin and progesterone.

When you’re cutting, either from restricting calories or preferably by raising the metabolic rate, you’re going to have less energy in the system and most facets of health will suffer. Focus on lowering stress and increasing youth-promoting hormones like thyroid, progesterone, pregnenolone, DHEA before and during the cut. A clean bulking phase followed by a shorter cutting phase serves well to bolster nutritional stores prior to the cut. In the cut, I would increase ratio of carbohydrates to protein slightly and prioritise gelatinous sources of protein over muscle meats. I would also focus more so in concentric loading of muscles during training. This is to lower inflammation while maintaining muscle mass during the cut.

50-100mg pregnenolone with 400 IU Vitamin E. I have unusually low temp usually but if I take this, my wife starts asking me whether I'm sick or have a fever. It's very effective.

The Wim Hoff cold plunge training guys are saying the health benefits are because of the adrenochrome produced. True?

@A-Former-User said in How to lower Adrenaline: I remember from the RP Forum that you're a huge fan of thiamine and convinced that thiamine deficiency is behind most people's problems. I'm not so sure about that. The list of symptoms of thiamine deficiency is basically every symptom under the sun, and I know that Ray Peat was never terribly convinced that thiamine was the be all and end all. I asked him about it once and he said it's most likely hypothyroidism. He advocated for dosages between 10-100 mg a day. There is a very long list of people who believed they had beri beri and started taking high dose thiamine and experienced nothing but misery and a host of new problems, which I know the thiamine cheerleaders simply call "the paradoxical reaction" (or something to do with methylation or not having the right co-factors etc), but it never went away and they had to give up. They're in a facebook group and it's depressing reading. Do me a favour mate and PLEASE don't spam every thread on this new forum with the beri beri guff! I should just ignore you because you are being a first class jerk. But I've decided to respond instead. #1: Ray Peat recommended thiamine quite a lot actually; he just never wrote a full article about it. Here are a few links for your consideration: Thiamine mentioned in Ray Peat's written work Vitamin B1 (thiamine) mentioned in Ray Peat's written work Thiamine mentioned in Ray Peat's audio interviews Vitamin B1 (thiamine) mentioned in Ray Peat's audio interviews #2 This forum is named the Bioenergetic Forum for a reason. https://www.nature.com/subjects/bioenergetics "Bioenergetics is the branch of biochemistry that focuses on how cells transform energy, often by producing, storing or consuming adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Bioenergetic processes, such as cellular respiration or photosynthesis, are essential to most aspects of cellular metabolism, therefore to life itself." Ray Peat focused a lot on the concept that if cellular energy is optimized then health follows. It will probably come as a shock for you to learn that thiamine is required for cellular energy. Thiamine acts as a co-enzyme in several steps in the Krebs cycle which is how cellular energy (ATP) happens. The importance of thiamine (vitamin B1) in humans

dr peat says being slightly hyperthyroid causes them to tend to fall off.

@NoFapPeating said in Yellow tinted semen causes: Reply did you get wuflu in the last 2 years or so, even a mild or "asymptomatic" infection? I think some guys get spike protein shedding in their semen and it can last for some time after, that is my guess because I have seen the same thing in others and the only commonality is they had wuflu and some residual gut and inflammatory issues in various parts of thier body including the testes. i think regularly cooming might actually be helpful in this situation, because you will be encouraging expulsion and refreshing of the fluids consistently. for foods to replenish semen i think natto, pineapple, and oysters are probably the best.

@monadology Yeah. I'm definitely not wanting to go all out, like with YK-11. I mainly strive for lowering myostatin to a reasonable level to squeeze a little extra gain out, lol.

@GasTheJews SRRI withdrawals ≠ instant serotonin antagonism. It would be like doing heroin for a year and quitting right before an athletic event and expecting a burst of energy.

@Oj_simpson as a former hardcore Adderall addict, you will be completely useless for a while. One of hardest parts is getting used to not being productive anymore. The other VERY difficult part is the anhedonia which will subside after a month or two, but you won't experience regular emotions again for 6 months. You might have anger issues, lack of interest in sex, insomnia after the initial withdrawal wears of, etc. Your "mental health" will be pretty bad tbh. Long term this addiction will completely destroy you in an insidious way. You will become far less social and much more anxious and depressed. You will actually become unproductive as you will end up spending 10hours perfecting a 10 slide powerpoint at work and losing sight of the bigger picture. Just be aware that these symptoms do last a while. Big pharma has an incentive to lie about how long these withdrawals last and how intense they are.

I have the beginnings of one too. If it is mild and if it is from poor posture, I'd say a good way to fix it is through correct posture, and constant stretching of the area.

@raypneat it's different for everyone with topical steroids

@lewis this makes me so happy to hear. I’ve definitely noticed some increases in energy over the past few months, but this is has been an entirely new level and amazing feeling.

Btw you can get those same oysters in bulk on Amazon
