@Insomniac ha well my doctor lowered my dosage, I think superhuman wasn't the right word to use with them lol. I definitely don't feel superhuman now.

What do you mean the psychological impact of TRT? Can you speak more about that?

Here's my results so not sure if 61.2 is dangerously high or what

@secondkelping Anything that lower stress could help. Pregnenelone, magnesium, salt, baking soda, glycine etc.

personal thoughts: he has changed the formula a lot of times

I think there is a big difference with the alcohol and oil solution

It's probably his best supplement

it's effective, it shouldn;t convert to estrogen but it will in sickly people

@Johann2547 nice post

Study finds PTSD effects may linger in body chemistry of next generation

New research on survivors of the Holocaust shows how catastrophic events can alter our body chemistry, and how these changes can transmit to the next generation. The result? Our children may suffer the effects of a traumatic event they never witnessed.

@timapple

Welcome Tim,

There is no real dogma in the Peat sphere besides limiting PUFA as much as is possible.

Virtually everything else is finding things that work for you while following different pro-metabolic principles.

So if you feel good on spices, go for it, we all have different tolerances and foods that agree with us. For example milk, some people do absolutely fantastically with milk while others cannot tolerate it one bit.

If you’re interested in bioenergetics I suggest you search up Jay Feldman on YouTube, he and Mike Fave have done a podcast together for about 4-5 years, they have well over 100 episodes now, but I recommend going back to the very beginning and watching forward from there. I have been reading Ray Peat and Peat related stuff for years and learned more from those guys in a couple days than I have years scouring these boards.

All the best in your journey towards better health.

@thyroidchor27 - I do not know the answer.

Look at the Health Natura Vitamin E.
I use it on the skin every day, 6 drops.
And it is full of gamma tocopherols, highly recommended.

@Corngold This is one of the main "stress points" of my own system. Probably related to poor posture from myopia and heavy computer use for work and studying. I have found that in caffeine withdrawal, my headaches are localized to exactly around the atlas vertebra (perhaps somewhat different from your case). I can even improve headache pain symptoms somewhat by carefully positioning my head to improve blood flow (you get a feel for it...). IME it is some kind of bloodflow/nitric oxide/serotonin related thing. Smooth muscle. It is one of those things where improvement in the pain is expressed by several minutes in an improved position, which is probably why that is not very much talked about. You need to be quiet and conscious and patient.

Used to be around once a month and triggered by miscellaneous physiological stresses (one time from grounding for several hours, another from being in a very high EMF environment (like, validated by measuring E-Field, not fantasizing here). Nasty headaches radiating from the atlas vertebra. Almost always I would vomit after about an hour of pain, and then the endorphins from the vomiting would mostly take the pain away. Perhaps vagal nerve compression/activation was causing that vomiting? As in the Nystagmus mechanism of action for motion sickness (which I also have, go figure). I suppose this technically makes it a migraine but I lack many of the other migraine symptoms. Migraine has a well-established connection to serotonin.

Peating alone (mostly means increasing sugar for me) has eliminated that. Has not happened in that way again even once. Still happens in that same way with caffeine withdrawal... probably not a good sign. I have started to carry caffeine pills for when I am on the road to prevent withdrawal, which I get after even one day without my two pots of radioactive waste.

Addendum. Vertebral arteries are looped through the vertebrae. Which probably makes them very sensitive to variation in dilation caused by serotonin/nitric oxide/caffeine.

Protip: 5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT, is a name for serotonin sometimes used when Science wants to discuss its negative consequences without cutting into SSRI sales.

@revenant

not really. not enough oxidation is reductive stress

Masterjohn advises 20-25 mg per day.
I take 400 UI twice a week. Now foods Advanced Gamma E complex.
Don't take at the same time as Vit K.

@foxgelb What do you mean by intolerant? Gut issues? High phosphorous and tryptophan content of muscle meat is likely the culprit. Eat more gelatinous cuts of meat and broths. Increase dairy intake. Decrease ground meat intake for now.

@Pooooop wanting to know the same lmk. I have one that reads my forehead although I don't think it is accurate

anybody?

@sneedful said in mysofascial release, foam rolling, lymphatic massage, massaging etc:

I get immense benefits of relaxation and anxiousness relief from rolling on various shape and hardness balls and rollers.

Me too.

could probably take more D and A than what you've listed. move the vitamin E to Saturday Sunday only and take the K tues-wed-thurs at 5-10mg (with 35g fat for max absorption) so there's less risk of the K oxidizing the E

Thiamine TTFD high dose can affect brain neurotransmitters
It can produce hot flashes and other side effects: It may include sweating, tingling, flushing, feeling of warmth, itching, chest tightness, fluid retention, nausea, restlessness, weakness, discolored skin or hives.
Stacy Wiegman, PharmD

Mostlylurking said somewhere that if you take thiamine without also taking magnesium you will increase your serotonin. => Stressful.
=> If brain sensitive, stop one week. I d’ take some B2 (not necessary every day), B3 (niacinamide) and B6. Mind the kind B6 (PLP advised) and not without making pause for B6, otherwise you get other neuroproblems.

Redsun said somewhere:
B1 is thought to possibly cause B6 deficiency. I thought this as well and I am still kind of on the fence with it. But it seems like the reason supplementing B6 counteracts symptoms from excess B1 quite quickly is because it dramatically increases GABA and serotonin levels, increasing their activity at synapses and which quickly reduces cholinergic activity.
