@Insomniac Thyroid and caffeine can both influence better decision making. Estrogen likely does play a role so aromotase inhibitors like androsterone or DHT could help.

@Insomniac for a calm focused state i would recommend pregnenelone. Maybe magnesium

@Insomniac Good sleep and digital detox. You want to discipline the reception of all the overly excited signals that excess estrogen/cortisol/low GABA will send. You do that by removing investment in the regular sources of brain burnout, like replacing time spent on screens with time spent with people and nature (e.g. plants, animals, the elements).

@jwayne For sure, maybe replace LED lights with incandescents too

@Insomniac Im trialing propranolol 10mg with great succes for now. The main two things it helped was maintaining calm and structured thought and action in stressful, high stakes situations and it mostly eliminated the red face blushing I would get in such situations. Both helped with self confidence even though I already trusted myself in such situations. I even genuinely enjoyed those moments now. I do take pregnenolone, t3 with cola and theanine at the same time but adding in the propranolol gave the biggest change. Aside from being a beta antagonist, it's also a kind of weak but still significant serotonin antagonist on several receptors. I still wouldn't like taking it daily for other potential sides and I'm hoping, maybe foolishly, that taking it for a while with thyroid will make some kind of more permanent change to how my body deals with stress, tipping the favor to thyroid instead of adrenaline.

All the typical Peat things. Lots of calcium, good sugar/carbs, nasal breathing, fruit, sunlight. I think overnight "fasting" is ideal... maybe earlier dinner and being hungry when waking. I don't take supplements but aspirin always helps pain/inflammation and the attendant stress and mental anger/depression that accompanies physical pain.

Try Noopept if you are brave enough...
Noopept boosts Alpha and Beta brain wave activity. You become calmer and more creative. It’s easier to go into a flow state. And you are prone to making innovative and resourceful decisions.
